Jason Harris 31 Report post Posted January 21, 2006 I met Mikael briefly today. The Red Wings play the Avs tomorrow, so I visited the rink to meet Mikael and the RW's equipment manager.For at least one day, I think I saw why he's having a breakout year. He and his linemate were the last to leave the ice, as much as half-an-hour later than some of the players. It definitely reflected a good work ethic to see the two of them out there when everyone else had left.I've heard from Sweden that he's a nice guy, and I would concur. I thanked him for having such a solid year, because it's helped build awareness. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jason Harris 31 Report post Posted January 24, 2006 The 46 sounds like a Shannahan to me. The 44 sounds like my customs. It compared the two tonight. The 46 is close to a Shanny, but the toe is slightly less open and it looks like it starts its curve closer to the heel than Shanahan does. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cobrAA 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2006 Cheechoo, I brought our blades to my friend's shop tonight to compare with other models. Some of our curves might be a smidge different, but basically they are the following blades:Curve 11: SakicCurve 12: Recchi with round toeCurve 21: ModanoCurve 44: Drury with a smidge less twistCurve 46: Basically a square Sakic w/ a 5 lie and flatter opening 1/3 in from the toe (I mean the Sakic twists more while it opens.)Curve 51: LidstromDoes anyone understand what I mean about Curve 46 and whether that describes a "name" curve? Isn't 11 and 12 identical excepting the length of the blade??(going by what is said in the catalogue)Because a recchi isnt as open as a sakic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's more open than it looks in the pic, I must have had it angled a little bit when I took the pic.Here's another of just the 46, lighting sucks because I took the pic in the one closet in the basement. The carpet made it harder to see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Project_2501 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2006 (edited) Thanks. Too bad it's a 5 lie... 46 is 5.5 I thought it was a p106 clone... and p106 is 5 lie. But if this is 5.5, looks like it'll be about time to order a woodie rb to see if it's what I like.Another question: What's the grip like (if any) on the G10 shaft from whatever last years model? It's on Ebay for $50 and really peaked my interest. Much better price than a Z-Bubble. Edited February 23, 2006 by Project_2501 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
