Maybe these are stock and his custom look is on the way. It's only been a few days.

[dsjunior1388 81]

Its under where he taped his stick at the top. I agree about the new gloves being a downgrade..... really thought he would do something special. Now I'm disappointed :(

It seems like some teams don't want their players having unique gloves. I noticed it last year with Hossa having to use a red pinky stripe on a red glove, Savard the same way on a black glove. Whether thats to make the team orders from each brand easier, or to underline the team aspect, either way it seems someone is putting there foot down and not letting some of these guys have unique gloves.

Gloves are part of the uniform.

Yea, even this year Hossa has a Black on Black Pinkie stripe. I understand that they want to focus on the team aspect, but come on, It's Kovy.

Yeah, his name is Lou Lamoriello.

Has done it for years, the Devils are one of the strictest teams in the league.

Check out their pants - they do not have a front mfgr logo. It is either side or rear placement. They also do not participate in the EDGE deal for their minor-league affiliates.

[shoeshine boy 242]

isn't he also super-strict about facial hair until the playoffs start?

[Hooah4 12]

Pic 13 in the Habs/Bruins gallery on NHL.com... Miro Satan wearing what looks to be a Bauer S9 with the new Supreme graphics package?

In the same gallery the Habs players in X60's have some type of bracket on the sole and back of the ankle.

[JR Boucicaut 3804]

Doesn't he also locks pro reps out during the playoffs?

[TBLfan 25]

I would have figured that they've become less strict with the way they're letting some of these gloves get by, like the XXXX and the "SE16" gloves for example.

[Law Goalie 147]

I heard he has all the players' wives fitted with chastity belts.

[Louie 28]

I noticed that the other night during Kovy's debut. I was like why is he wearing college pants witht he logo down the side.

[BenderHockey 127]

I heard he has all the players' wives fitted with chastity belts.

or their sisters, at the very least...

[JR Boucicaut 3804]

Sister-in-law...

[BenderHockey 127]

Sister-in-law...

Wouldn't that be his wife's sister?

EDIT: I see.. When I said "their sisters", I was referring to the wives' sisters.

[JR Boucicaut 3804]

*whoooosh*

Right over your head...

EDIT: it wasn't his wife's sister.

Yup. And they only recently issued their first number over 30 for a non goalie, and that was for a callup. They had no choice becuase the rest were already assigned to somebody.

There's a reason they don't attract too many big name free agents. Not all players want to deal with Lou.

[raganblink 82]

No numbers over 30? Sounds like my juniors team. You HAVE to have 2-28 if your a player. I'm a traditionalist and don't want to see a bunch of kids wear numbers 30-98, (and those idiots who wear 99), but its kind of ridiculous in today's world not to allow it. I can see a cap at only 8 players or something above 30, i wouldn't want the whole team to do it, but no one? Weak.

By the sounds of it i'm surprised Lou allows players to wear shields and composite sticks!

[JR Boucicaut 3804]

He prefers the reps stay out in the parking lot and do their business with players there. He is not fond of reps.

Ha, in that case if I were a rep servicing NJ, I'd do it street dealer-style. Wear a trenchcoat. It'd be par for the course in Newark.

"I got these one-pieces, dawg, check it out!"

If he thought he could get away with it, he probably wouldn't allow those either.

"Hey...pst...psstt! Wanna buy a stick?"

[Drewhunz 3]

I said STICK!!!

[adam14 182]

"These are fresh off the truck"

[shotty 7]

"how much is a (lack of) warranty worth to you?"

i love that line.

[lukejameslarson 5]

the devils let alexander mogilny wear the #89.

[JR Boucicaut 3804]

You have the wrong town, holmes. It is Queens, where a King can find a Queen.

LOL Newark's just as hard, if not harder, than Queens...
