i know for a fact that when he first got his one90's they were spray painted. 100% sure on that one.

If you look at the one90's pic i posted two posts up, you can even see the uneven paint job and the puplish LS2P's lexan showing in spots. That's a pic from this year. Unless Bauer has been making some black holders....

I havent seen any reason to believe they arent painted.

I also highly doubt they are spray painted. I'd like to see this fact you've got that makes you so certain they are spray painted. . . .

The ls2's hes wearing with the one90's while playing for st. louis look to be a dark navy blue, similar to the color of the st. louis pants/socks/jersey. . .

He's always used black holders. He had black ls2's on his rbk's when he was in carolina and on his ccm's before that.

I'm pretty sure that the "pimp my skate" colored holders you can get from total hockey are based in st. louis. . . so that may explain it. Doesn't ryan smyth use blue ls2's or pro lites on his skates? I know he did with the islanders/oilers last year

i know the equipment managers here in Carolina. that work? Held the skates for myself. that one work too?

And, his RBK's had black custom+'s, not LS2's

ETA: and to reiterate, his skates here in carolina, i can attest to. Beyond that, I'm just speculating that they've remained painted. as far as being blue... they always looked black to me in st louis, and now in anaheim. it's his signature look, black holders.

Look dude, I wasn't trying to be a dick about it.

I guess knowing the equipment managers is good enough for me. . . . but i don't get why you didn't say that the first time when you were "100% sure" instead of waiting for someone to call your bluff

And I guess its false advertising if they were spray painted. . . considering everytime I heard advertisements on the radio regarding the "pimp my skates" they always mentioned ryan smyth and doug weights names. . . . and now theres speculation that those holders have just been spray painted the entire time

cause name dropping is gay.

Maybe when he went back out to st louis they dragged him in. Just saying that when he was here, that's what he did, and i hadnt seen reason to believe otherwise (never saw/heard any ad to that effect).

watching the canucks-dallas game today i see that kesler scores a goal with a one90 stick and the next shift hes using a XXXX. Wont find many guys that would switch to a different stick right after a goal

Kovalchuk rocking the Hejduk visor I believe it's called, where the sides are cut in an arc.

He's used the J-cut for a long time

Well let me change my post to, "I just noticed that Kovalchuk is using the J-cut visor" ;). My apologies, has it been for multiple seasons or what, I could swear he was using the normal cut Itech.

I disagree, one95's look sweet with black holders.

With you 100% on that one!! They look better and better everytime I see them. Maybe we'll see a One95 Limited edition similar to the CCM's in the next year with these? HHHHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMM????? :rolleyes:

If they ever start actually making black Lightspeed holders, I will buy enough of them to last the rest of my life... But maybe not put them on just yet - I wear Grafs, and my team has New York Rangers colours, so the black holders will make it a little to Jagr-esque. I know his holders are Custom+ and he doesn't wear Grafs anymore, but I'd like to avoid being even a little like Jagr.

What a horrible reason to not buy (or buy for that matter) a piece of equipment.
