it seems alot of players are switching to warrior sticks

[Cole13 0]

yeah they are very popular.. but its odd seing phaneuf change because hes been usin that stick since he played in the whl... but he was bak usin his easton again later that game so he might of just been using a team mates or tryin the dolo out...???

[lyle.m23 0]

what easton was it ??

[Krev 86]

Easton ST. Green.

[SuperMan3 1]

Thats weird, his tape job isn't the same, it looks like he broke his stick and got handed one by a forward or something.

[Cole13 0]

yah thats wat i figured

[k-ody.m 0]

any pictures of the one95 stick in action, i could of sworn a few flyers were rockin it during the series maybe someone can investagate and find out :)

Was at the game, his stick broke and conroy passed him his. Which was pretty awesome cuz dions a lefty and connys a righty! played like that for awhile almost cleared it too!

on that note conroy has been changing between an se and the warrior!

Looks like Ovechkin ditched the 10.0 for the U+ today. Maybe he thinks it will break him out of his scoring slump haha

he just used the u+ plus for the warm ups and a little during the begging of the game.

anyone notice this..

sergei kostitsyn using his regular 4k helmet plus oakly visor as he was all season.

Then after being crushed by aaron ward in the second period he goes back to the locker room as if he's hurt and then comes out with a brand new combo which he hadn't used once all season.

who cares, where'd he got it.

he got two assists after :P

also it even says his number on the back.

I think Warrior is doing custom colour palms. Whether this option is available to regular consumers, I'm not sure. Check out Aucoin's red palms.

weird Warrior palms again

I think those are just standard kangaroo palms.

Mustang palms you mean?

[Timmonen] was trying them earlier in the season but switched back to Warrior not long after. Also had a brief stint with an SE, which I figured was Coburn's because it looked like it was 3 feet too long for him, and Coburn was hurt when Timonen was using them

I remember exactly when he tried the SE. Very brief, as in, not even a full game and he was back to using his Warriors.

It looks like Timmonen has been staying with the TPS sticks, which makes me psyched to no end.

Last Night:

[tro 4]

Not really a gear sighting, just something I thought was somewhat interesting, Ovi on the new cover of The Hockey News, holding a Crosby Sickick

http://www.zinio.com/express3?issn=0018-3016U&ncc=1

you would think a v.10 or U+, probably what they had on set.

[NJDfan 0]

Yeah, Savard used the U+ skates for a short blip during the season too... Then he switched to 10.0's...

Savard also sported the NikBauer One95's for a few game here and thwere if I remember correctly! :)

[Leafsrok 0]

Savard uses different sticks for home and away, as Don Cherry was pointing out the other night. He uses a U+ at home and a Mac Daddy on the road if I'm not mistaken.

[ddbowdoin 0]

well maybe he should try a third stick then maybe he'll learn how to shoot the puck

ovechkin using a u+ stick

The black strip on the bottom of his blade, is that just no tape? anyone know I have seen a few guys with this.

Most likely it's just the blade showing through, a lot of guys cut the tape along the bottom of the blade.

[DINO 0]

Do they do that for less drag or what.

[Chadd 916]

Do they do that for less drag or what.

That's the theory

[cougarscaptain87 12]

electrical tape? alot of inline guys do that

[Chadd 916]

electrical tape? alot of inline guys do that

NHL guys don't. Lots of NHL guys (or their eq guys) go back and cut the bottom out with razor blades.

seen a guy do it by having a strip of tape, taping the stick, then pulling the strip to tear the normal tape job. thought it was an interesting way to do it.

[Fletch 219]

Looks like Stastny is using Easton 4 rolls with a Sher-Wood cuff roll....
