Ethan Moreau stick

Recommended Posts

Yep...get ready for all of the plants...

Someone came in to the chat room as a guest and started spewing how Gretz and Doan are using it...not likely. Gretz is under contract to TPS and doan endorses CCM.

JR, Gretzky has in fact used the stick. Here is a picture:

Perhaps you can Photoshop it further for them and get some better graphics on there because they should definitely fire whoever came up with that atrocity. Maybe they should hire you since you're all so tight with them.

Oh snap! A new "MIA" to hate on. But seriously, we should have some sort of contest to see who can come up with the source they shopped that from. I'm always amazed at how fast some folks on this board find pictures of stuff.

I hope Gretz is just holding it after taking it away from someone as on offence to taste. Wow is that thing ugly.

I hear you guys about that being an ugly stick, but its kinda funny how in some threads we rip on people choosing skates because they are more attractive, yet here we rip on a stick because its ugly. And we really know nothing about the stick other than the fact Ethan Moreau used it until he blew his shoulder out.

Hey! I'm damn well not using that stick, it leads to dislocated shoulders.

And really I can't consider Gretzky a great endorsement for a stick. He hasn't played for what 7 or 8 years? Not a ringing endorsement "Hey its the best stick to use when dumping pucks into the corner for break out drills!"

Plus wasn't Gretzky about the least picky player ever when it came to sticks? He probably could have put a 2G 3A game with a Nothland...

Im not tight with them at all, I just asked for more info and some pictures of the stick.

I just posted in here what I recieved from them in an email.

Maybe the stick is photoshopped into Gretzky's hands I dont know, Im just posting what I got from them. I agree the stick doesnt have the best graphics and they definately could of choose a better background color.

Sorry, if it came off like I was trying to push the company and stick on here.

So are you admitting you won't use that stick simply because its ugly? Even if Moreau comes back from the shoulder injury and pops 25 in the playoffs? The almighty Mack is vain?

I won't use it because I have no need to use it. You're the one that flew to the conclusion that I wouldn't use it based on look when I was merely commenting on how low-end it looks. None of my work is on display in a museum but I'm handy with a can of spray paint so looks are of little importance to me with a stick. Hell, I'm using Dolomites.

I'd use one of those Odyssey Putters (a'la Happy Gilmore) taped to a broomstick if I could score goals consistently.

Aesthetics/Cosmetics are so unimportant - why do people make comments about them so much? - it's functionality that matters.

I use Flyweights that are so beat up looking that you would all likely laugh at them - but who cares?

As for the Compro - live they look not bad (graphics aside) the Yellow really stands out - I thought it was a Koho Revolution at first.

This thread has been amusing though..*lol*

I'll save my judgement of any new gear until I have the chance to make an INFORMED opinion thanks...

I hear you on the can of spray paint, although I've never had so many questions as I get about my flat black 1100. Half the guys are convinced I've got some prototype new stick under that cheap paint and everybody else thinks I'm just cheap.

My eyes made an informed decision on the appearance since that's based on sight, but thanks for coming out for Fan Appreciation day.

I dont understand why some people in this thread (wont use names, so dont ask) are getting all pissy that theres a new OPS on the market. Nothing wrong with a new product. Innovation and new things i think are good for the industry, if the product is no good, it will find its way out

Plus wasn't Gretzky about the least picky player ever when it came to sticks? He probably could have put a 2G 3A game with a Nothland...

dude wouldnt use sticks if the touched each other. he's as picky as anyone else.

Yeah, I heard he was pretty bad. He would use one stick for each period, and at times during his career, would use stiffer sticks or shorter sticks depending on the situation. I think Lemieux did something like that too. As did Hull.

a lot of guys have special sticks for special situations... like special curves for critical face offs (i know doug weight does this) more open faces for close net play, im sure guys have shoot-out sticks now (and more than one length/pattern).

Oh, am I supposed to feel hurt by that obvious swipe at me?

If they were bringing something new to the table, then I'd understand. But as of right now, all it is, is a me2 product.

And Gretz isn't using Compro. I have the pictures (as of Friday Nov 3) to prove it.
