It says Nikolai. I have a hard time reading hand written things, but I'm 99% sure it's Nikolai

[shotty 7]

НИКОЛАЙ - you are correct, mafia line.

What glove is Ovi sporting?

[bandits_5 18]

Crosby with an 11k stick and skates

crosby's skates look more like a dressed up 2009 model 9k. dude on the left looks like real 11k's

[shotty 7]

dude on the left is also wearing the 0k glove on his left hand

[maxamillion 3]

and an awful moustache on his face.

[raygunpk 0]

CCM U+CL skates.

Not sure on the gloves but they may be an older pair of V08 or V10 with a new logo. I could be completely wrong on the gloves.

Ovi w/ new U+ stick

Keep seeing this new CCM stick. Is this a new CL?

[AIREAYE 248]

haha in that picture above, I can tell Ovi is just flexing the stick, he didn't swing it in a slapshot or anything :P

[Scotty 8]

The puck is one his blade; he looks to be making a pass or wrister.

[AIREAYE 248]

haha just noticed the venetian blinds in the background...what kinda rink is this? :P

CL's retail graphics package is this

looks similar to u+ pro retail graphics buy who knows what stick it actually is

[noodle3872 40]

I think Ovi's stick is the new U+ Pro that is in the 2010 CCM catologue.

CCM 2010

[MattKingDelToro 2]

The stick definitely has a different paint job than the current CL, and it doesn't look like it matches the U+ Pro. I'm thinking they either changed the paint job on the CL (because guys who used the CL last year have been photographed with this new stick) or they have a new top-end stick that maybe they're holding off releasing until March.

Or that CCM is doing what Bauer and Easton have been doing - coordinating sticks w/Team colors. Back a page you can see Dupuis holding a CCM U+ w/Vegas gold accents

[bostonjuniorblackhawks 1]

^what he said. I doubt there's a "new" stick........ CCM is probably just matching sticks to team colors instead of having people use the retail graphics package.

I don't think Crosby has ever worn regular line RBK skates. At least in the NHL, he's always been in the pro version with the non functioning pump and narrower ankle that are essentially tacks.

and does crosby use a very low lie for his sticks?

The Reebok rep had one of Crosby's actual sticks at the Summer Jam last month and we were all amazed at how low the lie was.

Was going to post this in the White S17 thread, but it was closed.

They look crooked on most of the new gloves that i've seen. For example...

(also featuring new CL skates and stick)

I also like the 17 different shades of blue

He did? I had no idea.

[Louie 28]

I love how EA messed up the Leafs' jerseys in NHL 11. They put the logo from the alternate on the shoulders.

[jds 20]

Yeah, it was a strange stick. Really short, barely any curve and a small blade. Goes to show you it's the carpenter not the tools...
