savard using a hitman(I thought he had AK)

[aarondevera 0]

I'm sure that's something higher-end with the Hitman graphics package. It's been mentioned several times how much of a gear whore Savard is...

Gosh, it'd be great to be him... then again, I'd never get to break in any of my gear... <_<

[BMcDonald19 0]

whats the story behind why george has been scratched for so long... something about a blog?

[CheesePlz 0]

haha no.. he's had a major back injury (i forget the name of it) and while he's been sidelined, hes been blogging for sportsnet.

On the other hand, how many little bastards will be skating on red/white/blue or yellow/green/purple skates after a few months of the program being active? I shudder at the thought. Maybe just offer 6 or 7 different preset options (blacked out, white out, retail with a different color accent, etc).

My only question is whether or not 2k will adopt it- I assume they don't have ID choices already for Bauer sticks. Now that would be killer.

I don't see that happening. Would you let your kid buy a pair of 40's that looked like clown shoes? I sure as hell wouldn't.

I doubt it. He probably just likes the feel of the E-pro holder.

[Viking 1]

Those are just S9's with E-Pro holders, aren't they?

Also:

Fixed.

The blue is on the inner fingers like the guy in the background

[Theodoras 0]

I didn't get a picture of it but last time I checked Kopitar was a Nike whore and used Warrior sticks. Saw him using Easton gear during the Caps game... maybe some problems at the airport, or not...

Just watched a video of the Canucks practice yesterday. Alex Burrows was wearing what i'm assuming is a new Reebok model skate (because he uses reebok now). They had the EPro holder and were pretty much blacked out on the upper. I could tell they weren't the current 9ks has they had none of the heel detail accents. Also, the part of the upper with the lace eyelets was silver. They almost looked like the old KOHO skates...

pics to follow if possible, i just have grainy screencaps at the moment.

Is it just me or is that a big nike swoosh on the cuff?

Warrior skates possibly???

[JR Boucicaut 3803]

Clear tape around the ankles. Explains your "silver" look.

[steve66 45]

No i still don't think it's the same skate. the one in the video doesn't have the reebok vector logo on the sides of the upper, the silver is not around the ankle, but down the length of the skate where the eyelets are, so it is not clear leg tape. There are no pump valves or buttons.

here is the link to the video: http://canucks.nhl.tv/team/console.jsp?catid=6&id=32800

practice shots are at 44seconds and 1:18

They look like pumps to me.
