Maybe this has been touched on but Avery made the jump to Easton (helmet, stick, skates) w/Eagle pants/gloves. Found this kind of odd cause I thought Avery was going more towards a classic look.. in that he was using Grafs and even an old CCM/Bauer 4500 bucket (below) for quite a while.

Has he been using this new set up for a while and I just over looked it?

[the iceman 132]

Avery was using the S19 stick and the EQ skates towards the end of last season and started using the Easton helemet this preseason.

[mack 44]

Those skates must be the fastest ones to do a loop to get a linesman between you and somebody.

[Krev 86]

Can't recall seeing a photo of the Black S17s in game action before...

I may very well be mistaken, but those look a lot like a blacked out version of the S15's. In that picture, they seem thinner, and the way the stitching pattern is... Bagh, maybe it's just my eyes playing tricks on me. That said, Ott has been wearing the black S17's for quite a while now.

[JGraz15 53]

Any pics of the Warrior pro equipment (other than the Modano one)?

That's a good looking pad

Avery has been through a number of different helmets through out his career. Who knows why, maybe he is not that particular and just goes w/ what ever the EQM recommends or maybe who ever he is friendly w/ the rep du jour.

[Harv 86]

Whats Kovalchuk using? AK27?

[Krev 86]

I wanna say it's a Kronik repaint, but looking through some other pictures on Getty, it's not marked at all. He was using a Dolomite before that one, so maybe a Dolo repaint?

[KryptOng 9]

That's a good looking pad

I remember hearing on CBC HNIC that all players in the NHL must have these shoulder caps stitched onto their existing shoulders to help ease/prevent head injuries from headshots. Failure to comply = team fines/player fine/suspension

[fastbrother7 0]

That's Nate Thompson. They are actually flopped tongues but he tapes them down at the ankle which is why they look like that.

Yeah, thats Nate. He's always rocked the deep flop.

[the iceman 132]

So do all players have to wear shoulder pads that meet the new guidelines?

[PWBIII 0]

Yes

[larrivee 3]

That would explain all the new look Reebok pads in the dressing rooms. I was wondering why so many players were in them.

Mike Green is using a blacked out stick tonight (maybe since start of the season). Commentators mentioned that some manufacture has been able to replicate the CNTs that he loves but the stick is blacked out because they haven't paid the league licencing fee.

any guesses on the manufacturer?

BASE.

[maxamillion 3]

yea they actually mentioned BASE by name in the Caps Devils broadcast a few nights ago.

[Xodius 3]

Not sure if anyone noticed this yet but Alfy was using MLX skates against the Caps. He might have been wearing them for a while, not sure:

It was mentioned earlier. Nevertheless nice shot of it^^^

[Gaets 0]

I think i saw him wearing them in the preseason

[MLSman 22]

Whats Kovalchuk using? AK27?

BTW - nice shot of Greener's 11Ks. Looks like a number of people made the jump to RBK. Was expecting to see more people in the U+ CLs.

Kovey needs to get a skate fit upgrade...that ain't no pro spread....tisk tisk

[troy 12]

I think the CL graphics are the cliche double-edged sword for CCM: they provide the "trendier" more Vaporesque look, yet unless people are training their eyes on every black/red/grayish skate, the majority of the viewership will just assume they are seeing even more X:60s. I have actually noticed what seems like a significant uptick when comparing U+ to U+ CL usage, even a few officials were sporting them.

[Miseaujeu 291]

Whats Kovalchuk using? AK27?

Stay Tuned!

[Hooah4 12]

Stay Tuned!

please tell me his stick is named "dolla dolla bill ya'll!"

[peckmic2 2]

so yesterday i was watching the panthers v canucks game(thank god for the free center ice), and in the second period they showed a shot of what i believe was dennis wideman (cant really remember), cause all i could notice what that he was using a david krejci one95. I only assume it was wideman since they were teammates last year, still it was strange to see that hed still be using it or have one.
