Gear Sightings 2008-09 Gear Sightings

speaking of gionta.. he's the only one i've seen still using the older orange synergy. (is it a new one simply painted to look like a old model? does anyone know what lie/curve he uses? i'm about the same height and am still searching for a good lie/square toed blade.. loved the easton retail shanny)

gionta switches it up, ive seen him use a One90, SL, ST, SE16, and i think even an S17 at one point...he's used that Orange ST on and off, so im just assuming its the same stock, and he is using the same batch, not having new ones painted like old ones. Ive seen his curve, and it reminds me a lot of retail Lidstrom curve, but i think the curve is less open, not 100% though

iginla back to his U+ (i remember him using one95 earlier this year) plus foote is using mission skates after using CCM for the majority of his career.

but thats a syNergy SE.........not a U+...

i think he was talking about the skates Colt. If anyone wants a pic of the Gionta Curve let me know.

that dude said that a low KP made the stick "more torsional".... that makes no fucking sense at all.

[HattrickSwayze 3]

is ovechkin injured? i saw that pic a few pages back about the blue stripe on his one95 but didn't wana quote it

No, I think he caught a stick to the ear or somethin if I remember right. He was fine afterwards.

Wow, Getzlaf's skates look awful

I hope that isn't the final retail graphics package.

On the flipside of that pic, E. Brew's skates look reaal nice. One95's with less blue, maybe the new s9 makeup? Either way I dig those hard.

[Fletch 219]

Getzlaf has the Haglund.

Zach

I have it and it sucks.

Having it removed is almost worse than keeping it around, trust me..... :(

[JR Boucicaut 3803]

maybe the new s9 makeup? Either way I dig those hard.

Yes

[malcb33 99]

Did anyone else notice Havlet's RM19 the other night? It looked like it had a different graphics package. Could this be the start of TPS/Sherwood sticks? Hawks v Leafs

Yeah, here's a pair on ebay.

[CANADIANHKY9ER 0]

Ya, but those ones on ebay are the one90 S9 version, he is talking about the new one95 S9's.

You tell people how things are going to go down YET they still throw up conspiracy theories. A RM19 in a different color/graphics package does not mean that they will have TPS on them.

[malcb33 99]

I was meaning that this could be a sighting of a TPS (or former TPS) made Sherwood stick, not a collaboration of the two companies. I know this could just be a different graphics package on an RM19 too.

[JR Boucicaut 3803]

How so?

Havlat used SOP woods and was a SWD endorsee in Ottawa.

Havlat switched to Warrior while in Chicago

Havlat has used the RM19 in Blackhawks colors since the beginning of the 08-09 season

Now, if it were someone like Nash or Tkachuk who suddenly switches to a SWD stick, MAYBE the case could be made that it's some sort of a repaint.

[malcb33 99]

Fair enough, I don't follow Havlet (or the Blackhawks) to much, just noticed his stick last night. Before that I thought he was using Warrior's, but I guess not.

[JR Boucicaut 3803]

I hear ya...

[peckmic2 2]

i have a pair of those s9 one90s, also brad stuarts. got them at the joe during the playoffs for 75 bucks, awsome skates minus his HUGE, and i mean HUGE tounges...

Don't know if it's been mentioned earlier in the thread, but Nicklas Backstrom (caps not wild) is wearing the new Bauer Sixty (or however many xxxxxxx's it is). They have the XXXX graphics, but they are the new ones. And he either has signed on, or is close to signing on with them as a sponsor

[JR Boucicaut 3803]

Yes, we know. He's not the only one.

[larrivee 3]

They aren't Marty's, but those look like full warrior pants over by the sewing machine. I hadn't seen anything but shells before (in the show).

Gomez rocking some HUGE 4-rolls. They look like oven mitts.

He has always worn large gloves.

[Cove 39]

Lightning jersey is fugly. Kind of a rip off of the west Jersey

[mew1838 0]

East is red.

[Hockeyman11385 1]

There's a few teams rocking that style as thirds this year.

[JR Boucicaut 3803]

There is already discussion of the Lightning's thirds in the Third Jersey Thread in NHL Discussions.

Yup. Just as I called out in the other threads, they are way easy to spot on the ice if you know what you're looking far. The graphics on them are brighter than any of the other real XXXX's. I had row 7 seats to the game tonight and made it a point to really check his skates out and they were distinctively different than normal ones. Not that any of that matters, just thought I'd throw my .2 in.
