sweetblazer 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2004 ya that's what I was thinking too. Also it is 7 in everyone's region so no need to flip to it at 7 eastern. And Theo I'm pretty sure that Tape Recorder is 2 words? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sweetblazer 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2004 Couldn't tell you about the book relationtion. All I know is it's a show on the development of hockey sticks and then shows the attachments some players have to their stick.(that's the description on digital cable's info). It's an hour long to so it should be good :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RadioGaGa 162 Report post Posted August 31, 2004 I watched most of it from about 6:20 on (I caught it in the East Coast CBC)..it was pretty cool.For those who haven't watched it yet...**Ending Spoiler**It ends with Bret Hull saying how dead the wood stick is and how he can't see why anyone would use one...and Markus Naslund saying he sees people going back to wood because it gives better feel...kinda funnyI also didn't know that Brian Burke had ordered the AHL Manitoba Moose (Vancouver's farm team) to use wood exclusively to save some $$...

Stampeder 2 Report post Posted August 31, 2004 It was a pretty good show. It didnt look like it took much to break that Vector in that gizmo they were testing the flex with. It was also cool to see how the sticks were somewhat made. Wood blades are huge when just starting out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's pretty stupid, your a AHL player level and you can't play with the stick you want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D3nZ 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2004 They did the same in Cincinnati with the Mighty Ducks AHL farm team, they saved alot of money because of that. I don't think it's THAT stupidit's not the stick that makes the player look good, skate hard and have heart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eazy_b97 1 Report post Posted August 31, 2004 I knew of an OHL team who had practice sticks they had to use because they saved there OPS for a games, also alot of teams switched over to Synthesis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stampeder 2 Report post Posted August 31, 2004 I've seen quite a few WHL players with synths. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nigel 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2004 Whether Burkie ordered the Moose players to use wood sticks or not, throughout last season, at least 95% of the players were using an OPS or a blade/shaft combo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roadrunner 12 Report post Posted August 31, 2004 Doesn't that just make sense to use a 2 piece to save money, especiallywhen we know that a 1piece is actually a 2-piece, its no secret. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kovalchuk71 212 Report post Posted August 31, 2004 Im sure if the players used their own money to pay for their sticks, they could use OPS's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PMurphy17 25 Report post Posted August 31, 2004 Burke went overboard. Last season the Moose players were not allow to use OPS. Blade and Shafts were allowed. He was making a statement with his comments in typical Brian Burke fashion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
