Well it isn't that uncommon for stores to lie so they can try to sell you stuff their in the store. In May I was in Vancouver at a the shop said that the CL was not a stick and that the top end stick was the U+, tried to sell me that stick instead. At play it again in MN I always got a run around on products, "bauer doesn't make a 40, they only make a 30" or my favorite "easton doesn't make stealth sticks' even though about 5 minutes later when i was browsing, i saw them on the rack. some just say stuff so you buy the thing that they have there right then and now.
