So all those times we see blacked out stuff, it's because of the licensing fees?

Smyth's Vapor XXX stick has one of those "team canada" stickers on it too. Are they on all of the sticks?

So all those times we see blacked out stuff, it's because of the licensing fees?

Or they have a deal with another company, or they don't want to give free endorsements to a company.

However when it comes to the Worlds, it's because the mfgr has not paid the licensing fee.

Many German players wear T-Blades. I would cite examples, but I can't type their names worth my life. T-Blades are from Germany, so that is the reason. A few players in the World Cup, WJC, and World Under-18 were rockin t-blades too.

Smyth was trying out Vapour Shafts last year (I picked one up that they made for him - ridiculously stiff) and since the demise of Hespeler I'm not at all surprised to see him using one now.

JR's right - he was using the Moo-Lay shaft for a while and prior to that AG's. In between he was even trying out Synergy's till he decided wood blades were his preference - then he went to the Moo-Lay.

He had Hespeler make the tip "look" like his AG's (Gold Foil on the tip). And it looks like Bauer is doing the same on the XXX Shaft he's sporting now - with a Mission blade no less.....

[JR Boucicaut 3804]

QUestion is, how long can Bauer make those for him? ;)

I dunno - but I'm pretty sure he's going to be coming back to get the Moo-lay he gave me last year when he gets home...*lol*.

I heard he was looking hard at another company's shaft as well..

BTW - Anyone notice that Doug Weight has switched to the L-2?

Away from Hespeler as well.........

A bit off topic, but in the first pic of this page we see Eric Cole putting his Matrix skills to use as he runs up the boards as Robyn Reghyr prances to safety... :lol:

Its on Page 1.

Anyone know what gloves that Alexander Ovechkin is using?? I can't get a good enough picture of it.

[warrior37 0]

it looks like a vector without the stickers, the blade painted black except its more of an ice blue than the vector blue.

ps fedor has some wicked skates, 707 great whites with lite speed 2

Looks like Smyth has decided to go Bauer - the XXX Shafts he's using have the "Moo-Lay" screened on them just like the Hespeler's he used....

[JGraz15 53]

What is this Moo-Lay business?
