Anyone have the Marian Gaborik pic handy?

[sabre09923 0]

Oh... My god. Vinny might want to switch to a stiffer flex.

[Project824 0]

His old sticks were in the 100-105 range, that could have changed. Keep in mind he's quite a bit stronger and bigger than the average kid who walks into a hockey shop and picks up a 100 flex. Vinny spends some legit time with a personal trainer in the offseason, he's no longer that wiry 18 year old kid who might have tipped 175 on a good day.

Im almost positive the stick of his I saw was Stiff Flex.

The stick isnt really flexing that much at all either, Kovalchuks stick flexed more than that in the game I was watching last night.

i would guess he's using an 85-100 flex

Thanks for narrowing it down for us.

Yeah i saw that after the game during the recap when they paused it right before one of his one-timer goal? That was insane i couldnt believe that...

Is Lecavalier taking a slap shot or a wrist shot. I can't tell.

by the hight of his back foot, id say wrist

[kovalchuk71 212]

looks like a wrister/snapper. Hes on his left foot

[TBLfan 25]

I've seen some of his sticks and I can't recall anything besides a stiff flex.

yeah, also, his left hand is too high up for a slapper...

[Konig von Kuhlem 0]

Yep, that's definitely a wrist or snap shot (probably picking the top corner) in the warm up.

Anyway, from a photography point of view, I like how that picture was taken from the catwalk directly above Lecavalier... and using strobes, to get a snapshot with the stick flexing... WOW, that took some timing skill!

Also, I think in the main menu of NHL07 (for PS2) there's a picture taken directly above Ovechkin shooting.

[Patrick67 1]

Great thing about the first AO pic, is that exact shot went top corner. B)

[djinferno 2]

...how do they do that.....  :o

I'm pretty sure you and I do it too but your not caught on tape doing it...

I know I can feel mine flex and I use a 100
