EBondo 232 Report post Posted November 9, 2006 However, I honestly think the "signature" thing is doable - RBK/CCM - take notes -Do the Ovechkin model, do Kovalev, do whatever other marquee players, and stitch their auto on the tendon guard. Sell them as a limited run, numbered. I'll take all of the credit, and a signature skate of my own. That's all I require. We talked about that in the Ovechkin chrome skate thread. It's a great idea, and it definitely would sell. Like RadioGaGa said, it works in any other sport, baseball with gloves, basketball and football with shoes, why not hockey skates?

mack 44 Report post Posted November 9, 2006 really though imagine how much money THC could make with ovechkin vector 10.0's and kovalevs rbk 9k pumps Not a significant amount. How many people on the board go with CCM/Rbk? Now out of those, who would buy/use either of those two players' models? It's a good idea but it also has a very small target audience. Then again I'm going off of my experience with kids around here that aren't simply buying a brand/model just because a certain player uses it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I had mentioned it in there and a couple of times before that. Don't try to take credit ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jason 65 Report post Posted November 14, 2006 Hey A-K,Was Kovy wearing the 9K's tonight? I missed the first period. GO HABS GO!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
magnanto 0 Report post Posted November 14, 2006 Yup, he was wearing them, first time in a game I think - pretty sure about second period as well (missed part of it and didn't get a good look) - but switched back to the old ones for the third. And yes, go HABS go.Ya know, looking at my 'white' skates which resemble every stitch of kovy's except the tongue, maybe mine are badged a 1052 and are not really? They are Shatslivy's old skates (I have two pairs), so they are pro skates - and pro skates are known to be all over the place in terms of what they really are and what they are badged as. They are dead ringers for Kovy's, every stitch, every cut.Not sure what that will bring to the conversation, but... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hockechamp14 0 Report post Posted November 15, 2006 They hustle, get over it. Next. I've figured out kovalev's true calling. Golf.Not only does this guy have crazy forearms, but for golf, he can take his time, be pretty, take some more time, and wait until the perfect moment. Right temperature, right wind speed, and right lunar position and make a good shot.He'll be big time competition for tiger for sure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
