[JR Boucicaut 3795]

The first NME pics that we put up on here were Gomez's skates.

I assumed that when the poster was in Alaska and said the skate owner was well known. Pretty small sample size to choose from.

Better view of the graphics package.

So does it have something to do with an eight sided structure or is it named after Ovy's #8?

[TBLfan 25]

It's a normal shaft shape and Lecavalier is not Ovechkin.

octagon hosel?

[TBLfan 25]

negative.

[Rustpot 1]

Or it's a Vector 8 graphics package and they didn't want to keep calling sticks "Ultimate" and "Radioactive", so the Catapult gets an Octo-Gun little brother.

I still cant believe its called the octo gun.

Really Like the Mission graphics though. Old School style. What gloves does Gomez have on?

That really is a horrible name. O-stick, Octo Gun...Just keeps getting better.

Jack of all trades: If Canadiens fans have learned anything in recent years, it’s that Alex Kovalev can do it all on the ice. His vast skills don’t end there, though. This season, Kovy will be wearing a brand new, specially-designed pair of gloves, bearing a new twist on his AK27 logo by Warrior. The sleek new gloves also come complete with an image of an airplane, as a tribute to the accomplished pilot/winger.

TBLFan any pics of Kolzig and his tampa set?

[kovalchuk71 212]

Look in the "new goalie gear" topic in the goalie section.

some sort of L-7

I can't see them going with octo gun unless it has some thing to do with either an octogan type of shape in the construction of the weave for example or unless it is perhaps an 8k with a nick name., well i'm hoping as it seems like an odd name just to pull out of the hat!

[RadioGaGa 162]

Not a 'sighting' yet, but I read a description of what Alex Kovalev will be wearing this year on canadiens.com:

Getzlaf no longer using the S17.

[VakarLajos 5]

Getzlaf no longer using the S17.

I'm pretty sure I remember hearing that he had not been using the S17, it was just a paint job. Not sure what stick it actually was he had used an Elite before that so it might have been that.

are we most likely only going to see the new NBH equipment and then start seeing the new Bauer branded products later in the season?
