It's his signature stick, just made for him.

Has his nickname on it, as well as the silver tip (nod to Gretzky)

No sarcasm intended but are the cuffs of his gloves another reference to Gretzky? They look like full height cuffs whereas most(?) skaters use half height cuffs. The terminology I'm using is probably wrong but I hope you know what I mean.

Now all he has to get is some blue holders..

[michael.yue 2]

he also wears the old jofa helmet in practice. Another nod to Gretzky.

Is Easton going to continue to use their old "Flying E" logo on their gloves?

Yes. the extra long cuffs are another nod to Gretzky.

As is the jersey tuck and the number that looks most like 99 without being 99.

And I always thought he was wearing 94 because he was drafted in 94 (or was it? 93? 95? I'm not sure)

Talk about a mancrush.

Smyth was a stickboy during the Oilers' heyday. He idolized Gretzky.

I love the cuffs Smyth uses. Always have. Extra long, pleated or quilted, whichever term you prefer. I absolutely love that look and it's something I plan to have done on my next pair of customs.

[Harv 86]

More Smyth old school.

I apologize in advance for any ignorance on my part, but is there a reason there is boston pizza ads on the crossbar? (besides the obvious) Was this game played at Rexall?

Looks like a major junior rink, judging from the stands.

not saying that he's not switching but isn't training camp the best time for these guys to be trying new things to see if they like them?

Noticed Kessel was back to an S19 last night during the Leaf game.

Interesting that he candy canes his TO's but not the S19.
