Gear Sightings 2011-2012 Gear Sightings

[Kessel'sOversizedSuit 18]

Reebok Hockey is a very small portion of Reebok in total. Also Reebok doesn't compete very well internationally with Nike...adidas probably feels if they remove a player from the game they are better positioned to compete head to head with Nike. Just my thoughts.

Oh, I see... so the plan is to kill everything Reebok, not just the hockey. wow. that'd be a big move.

That'd be too bad really. Although they don't fit me and consequently I didn't buy them, I've always liked the graphics on reebok skates.

I had a 10k stick which I liked (both performance and looks) and now that the price of the 11k (also good looking) is coming down to earth, one of those my find its way into my hands.

Anyway, end of tangent. Back to your regularly scheduled new gear sightings.

[JR Boucicaut 3801]

No plan, just rumors, thoughts and ramblings.

[Hills 712]

You guys know Adidas owns Reebok right?

[RussianDangler15 0]

Yes, which is the reason they have the power to phase out Reebok if they choose to.

Any one know what stick Holmstrom was using last night? Looks awful with his penchant for the sticky roll.

I was ready to say Widow, but something is off.

Don't know whats going on with those 3 letters down on the bottom of the shaft. The stick has a Dagger Taper.

Maybe something new?

[JR Boucicaut 3801]

Yes.

DT1 - you'll see more guys in it as the playoffs go. Kostitsyn is in it as well.

[Harv 86]

There it is:

Stewart and Langenbrunner both have them as well, it looks like it says "Covert" on the shaft.

You appear to be right.

Warrior turns over models more quickly than most.

Warrior has had a lot of problems with there composites... be very skeptical with future warrior purchases...

Would you please elaborate on this, as I have been away from the game awhile and am looking at all new gear. I've never used a warrior, do they have durability issues?

The blades on Warriors sticks are notorious for breaking/splitting. Although, if you read enough on here, every brand/stick line has something that seems to be a common downfall with them. Some things just work for some people and some don't.

I've heard the same. I had a friend who had his customized Warrior Widow blade start to crack. He contacted warrior and they took care of him by sending out another widow. Not sure if it was his custom, probably not.

These kind of stories, along with being based in MI, make me a Warrior fan.

Whoa now.

Lots of people are more than happy with Warriors.

By the time the stick does come out, it will be close to 2 years.

That was the problem I had with Warrior sticks. I loved my original Dolomite to death, but that was the only downfall to it. Split right down the bottom of the blade.

Bauer made shovels for the Penn State groundbreaking for their new arena. Very cool. http://www.gopsusports.com/view.gal?id=118257
