Bauer Pro OPS Collection

[DarkStar50 679]

I have only 3 pictures here of the blades because the light was too dark to get the rest.

[DarkStar50 679]

I talked to the Pro Stock Manager about how many sticks in an order for Malkin. He said Malkin tweaks his pattern a lot so usually no more than 18/24 at a time.

Ovie's curve sticks out like a sore thumb ;)

[DarkStar50 679]

Yes, it is 77 flex.

OV's stick order will average about 48. The Pro Stock Manager pointed out he can break 3 in a game so it's no wonder the order quantity is high.

You wouldn't believe your eyes even if you saw this curve in person.

Also features a sandpaper grit finish applied to the blade.

From the Department of Old News:

Pat Kane's Winter Classic Vapor XXXX Skates.

Malkin's Winter Classic Vapor 40 Skates.

Is there any chance bauer will come out with a ovie curve?

[Hooah4 12]

Is there any chance bauer will come out with a ovie curve?

not while he's signed w/CCM, plus how well would that curve do at retail?

Beauty pics DS....I have to wipe the drool off my keyboard.

i think if they came out with a retail curve exactly like his prostock they would sell tons.

i think if they came out with a retail curve exactly like his prostock they would sell tons.

And 99% of the people that bought it would see their shot get worse

yeah that's true i curved a stick with a blow torch the exact same and it's so hard to shoot with.

But for Ovie it's easier to shoot than to pass with, however his assist to KaaaaaNuble last night was a great pass.

3*82 = 246 sticks for the regular season?

+ 100 sticks for training?

nice!

Malkin's WC 40's are siiiick. I'd kill for a pair of all black 40's or X:60s like those. (They look even better than the LE X:60).

Wow very nice collection, are they all yours?

[gxc999 7]

ovie 77 flex

malkin 112 flex

:D

Yeh but Ovy cuts his sticks 3-4 inches and Malkin doesn't, afaik.

[camhockey16 5]

Wow very nice collection, are they all yours?

if you knew darkstar you wouldn't be asking that :P

i think even bauer would be jealous of that collection

[lampliter87 8]

Bogosian still using a heel wedge?

[raygunpk 0]

Wouldn't they come at whatever length they want?

[DarkStar50 679]

The sticks were different lengths so you are probably right.

[camhockey16 5]

so the question is - if this is part 1 - what is part 2?

[Chadd 916]

so the question is - if this is part 1 - what is part 2?

All three parts were merged into one topic

[Buzz_LightBeer 974]
