Gear Sightings 2009-2010 Gear Sightings

You forget, I used to rep and I kept some decent stock of a lot of stuff. 48 brand new OPS of my adopted pattern (Pro Hull), plus about 6 that I have dressed up. Plenty of Avery XN10 OPS and R2XN10 + R2 blades in his pattern, in addition to many pro stock gloves and sticks, Tkachuk issued Tri-CORE3 shafts that are stiffer than stiff, as well as super square shaft shape.

Robitaille Pro Stock XN10 OPS, Nabokov Custom Response Plus Goal Stick, as well as many collectibles...

I don't really know you, but I'm feeling a high level of hatred, that is most likely an incredible amount of misdirected jealously. :(

You've got a lot of cool shit. I don't. That combination makes me sad.

Truer words never spoken. A team mate has one and the feel on these shafts is just ridiculous.

Gomez's stick:

XN10s are like a drug. Once you get addicted, it's hard to quit.

I only had one XN10, that I actually got a from a friend brand new, for free. It was by far the best shooting stick I ever used. I miss that stick. I'd kill to find some Tkachuk whip flexes .

Only stick I've had that even somewhat compares to it, would probably be the first batch of Dolomites.

Selanne with Bauer on right hand, Warrior on left

Probably for range of motion or something. Isnt he back from a wrist injury?

Saw Cleary wearing the New Easton Skates in San Jose. EQ???

I'd love to see what gloves you have but you really haven't talked too much about what you actually have. Actually, besides a couple TPS gloves and Eagle gloves you've posted, the Rawlings(I think you had two pair) are the only other ones I recall seeing. I'm sure you have a ton of stuff that we'd all be drooling over.

BTW, I still don't know how you use that Hull pattern. I have one and the toe is just a killer for me, despite the curve being very nice, IMO

hehe me too, its hard to get tbl jealous :P

Just spotted the S19 lid in Minny.

You bastard. I'm sitting on my last three XN10s right now. It's scary. I've been trying just about everything in a vain effort to find new sticks to love...and the only other sticks that have come close were the CNTs (which also can't be found anymore). Unless one of these companies is secretly working on a new stick and planning on releasing it very soon, I'm going to be stuck stocking-up on U+CLs or X:60s.

The Sportcheck's in Ottawa have a bunch of CNT's in grip and non grip for a pretty good price. They also have some original stealth's in grip and non grip, i know they dont compare to XN10s but they can be found.

At least you still have some. I'm trying to kickstart the addiction, but I can't find one to save my life.

[TBLfan 25]

Don't bother... If you do find one then you'd realize what you're missing and will need more. If you never try one then you'd be happy with some of the stuff available on the market right now.

[Invert 13]

I look at it this way... The sticks I have the most stock of are my own and Avery's. There are enough shit talkers and haters of Avery that would kill to have an XN10, but why these when they don't like the guy? LOL Ave's was always good to me and someday, I'll find a nice home for them. :)

BTW, been called much worse than a bastard :)

I never understood why Avery is so hated through the hockey crowd. From a marketing perspective the NHL could use a few more just like him. He has a huge personality and isn't scared to show it, is a hard working player who is better than most, and really isn't that dirty of a player. Also, the guy seems like a gear whore, which should give him some cred here.

So looking at my screenname and how Ive defended him, would I make a nice home for them? On the serious side Im down to my last one and cant find anymore. One of the only sticks Ive ever felt comfortable with and I cant come to grips with buying some of the stuff on the market now.

I could probably go on posting links all night...but I'm not going to do that. His "look at me" attitude just doesn't work in hockey. He wants to be an individual in what I would argue is quite possibly the ultimate TEAM sport. The guy has a lot of skill.....but most hockey players are going to have a hard time respecting a guy who abuses teammates, disrespects coaches, crosses the line with opponents, refuses to/is incapable of playing in a structured system and pulls the spotlight on himself at every opportunity.

It's difficult to become almost universally despised by a populace without providing said populace with at least a few reasons to do so.

[Chadd 916]

We're getting way off topic here.

[larrivee 3]

sublitwill- do you know why Avery orders his gloves without binding on the thumb- I believe he still does this? That would make it topical.

[chippa13 1844]

LOL

"In an act of desperation, Avery finally finds a way to make his teammates like him."

So out of that group, who want's Elisha's sloppy seconds?

Looks like Staal is up first.

[VakarLajos 5]

Stastny has been in Easton gloves for as long as he has been a SWD poster boy. I asked the Avs EQM about it last year and he said he didn't even show him the SWD RM19 gloves because he knew he wouldn't like them.

[VakarLajos 5]

it's gone on this long, they don't have too many other marquee names in SWD gear. Brodeur, but he's a goalie. Ryan and Frolov are about it.

Why not rebrand easton gloves for him?

[K9 Unit 1]

coz thats whats he's wearing right now...

[VakarLajos 5]

They're EPros with Sher-Wood stitched over the roll. Nothing crazy. I always wondered why SWD didn't request they cover the Easton logo on the inside of the cuff as well.

Do James Neal's new easton gloves say real deal on them?
