Penguins Stick Sale

[nick_123 0]

The sale took place in one really really small room. They let the big line and there was a feeding frenzy for the sticks. A lot of people, myself and brother included, just squeezed between people and grabbed whatever we could get. We ended up with a nice haul, not bad for being like the 90th people in line, but these stick sales are just pooooorly organized.

We each grabbed armful of sticks and then sorted out what we wanted. I know it doesn't sound nice, but it was the only way to get anything.

I'll post some pics of what we got. Meanwhile, anyone know what model gloves this is? These are Dominic Moore's gloves.

easton synergy what?

update:

from left to right, malone, ekman, ekman, moore, ekman

Nice...that's about half of what the Habs were asking for stuff at their sale. I bet Sid's stuff wasn't included was it?

[nick_123 0]

Yep, no Crosby, Malkin, Staal, or Fleury sticks. But one guy managed to find Fleury goalie pants, new unused with tags.

[Sven 1]

Yeh and $80 each is a steal.

man I wish I could have gone. Oh well, still waiting on word on when the panthers sale is going to happen or if I can get a hookup on some Lightning stuff after the season.

haha, there was a crowd of 15 people who didn't get sticks around me as I sorted them out, I had to give away a bunch because they had cracks.

I ended up with two whitneys and a gonchar. I traded some kid the Gonchar for a fuel ekman for my friend. I also ended up pickin up Orpik's Vapor xxx skates,there still in good shape. there a 9.5D. Im still debating on whether to sell them or not, ask and ill consider all offers. I also traded a whitney for an Oullet so I could have a righty.

My buddy ended up with 4 Fuel Ekmans total, although two ended up being broke, and a pair of Whitney Gloves, same as Moores.

My other buddy picked up a pair of Eric Cairns MIAs in good contition.

But nicks right, total wrong way to do the sale it was kayos. I had to stand still for like 5 Min. because there was no where to go. All in all it was decent.

Somebody picked up a shit load, but I dont know if he wants me to mention it or not so I let him chime in if he feels the need.

are you serious? first off, the devils have a draft party sale every year (advertised in the newspapers, may i add) with players equipment used that year. i was able to pick up gionta's XX's for example. a load of sticks are also available. second, i remember when my family first purchased season tickets we went to see our seats over the summer. we wound up running into lou in the office area while we were waiting for an employee to show us around. lou asked my sister and me who our favorite players were (rolston and sykora, at the time) and he came back within 5 minutes with two autographed sherwood team model sticks. unless he's changed or did something to you, im not sure what would give you the impression you have.

to stay on topic: its too bad the crosby sticks werent there. i heard he uses his until they break though so maybe that's why.

I shudder to think what kind shit would break out if any crosby malkin staal or fleury stuff was there. Someone would definately get hurt lol.

On another note i wish i still lived in Pitt so I could scoop up some stuff. 80 bucks for sticks, and i could use some new pants :(

I saw those same skates at the sale.

[saveourpens 0]

I was about to pick up those skates, but then somebody already had it in their hand looking at them. I guess that was you.

[sensrock15 0]

nice skates......i doubt the mooseheads have sales like that (they dont).....but thats a steal.....i imagine a pair of crosby 9ks would gend a fair amount of people to the hospital....
