Never noticed b4 but it looks like that's what he likes.

Those are the 9500 ear loops.

[Law Goalie 147]

Biggest gear siting of the year. Completely revolutionary product. Nothing like what the company has done before: it's like apples to oranges -- well, grapes to barley.

Oh, and apparently, the team is going to be censured for using it.

[Hede 2]

Post game doping :D

[Cove 39]

Canadian girlies do like their wobbly pops.

[Dupes 1]

Canada knows how to party :D

On the subject of Dustin Brown, does he have an oddly shaped head or something? Because every time they show him, his helmet is so crooked on his head he looks like an idiot.

i guess you could call it "the beer of champagnes".

[Law Goalie 147]

Thank you, shotty. :D

Same with Selanne - His face shield always looked like there was an inch of space on the right side. It was completely off centered.

[RadioGaGa 162]

Okay...on the topic of off centered, oddly shaped heads...Malkin's helmet always looks sideways?

[TBLfan 25]

I think his helmet is straight, his face looks sideways.

[RadioGaGa 162]

Quite possible. I noticed it at Olympics as well...not just Pitt games.

Don't look directly at his face, it may cause temporary loss of sight and/or fits of convulsions.

his brothers way worse :P

[jds 20]

Check out Pronger's pretend flopped tongues. Just stitched on. Any idea on the point of this? Just for looks?

[thorbs 2]

I don't think he was doing it for style points...just a bit of extra padding if he takes a shot off the foot.

[jds 20]

why not just wear the new composite boots that all the shot blockers seem to be wearing?

[Composite Freak 0]

I think they are to keep the focus on his skates so no one will focus on the fact that he is always out of position and way too slow to get back into position.

[Chadd 916]

Why change what you like if you can just add a pad? There are negatives to composite boots, though some people here may find that hard to believe.

[Dupes 1]

Hamrlik does the same thing has Pronger.

[RadioGaGa 162]

Looks far to floppy to offer any real protection, IMO

[Dolom1te 0]

he's been wearing those the past couple of years now, its just for extra protection. I've also seen them on Scott Neidermyer too.

[furlanitalia 1]

I agree but I think they're tied down to his bottom laces as they never seem to flop up.
