Those actually look pretty sweet in that colorway. Hate to say it, but I love white on gloves.

I agree, those are some sweet looking mits.

Anyone have any luck finding team USA socks? All I can seem to find are the old knit style.

NTDP sale. One of our members bought a whole bunch last year (or year before.) I got both sets.

What's his curve like?

Maybe the 9k is a retail fused stick compared to the constructions for the 11k.

You weren't asking me, but I've seen his pro-stocks in person, the curve was basically a Sakic in terms of shape/loft/etc, but with a slightly lower lie, and less rocker.

Works pretty well with the white helmet too.

Is Pierre really small or are those huge?

[HockeySavants 5]

it's also the angle it was shot at, keep in mind the bench has two levels.

But yes he's that small too:

I think it's Zajac who's using those Stamkos sticks.

Does anyone have Patrik Elias' stick? I'd like to see a better picture of the curve, eventhough I think he keeps changing it every once in a while.

Zac Rinaldo who had been in Bauer all season using the RBZ tonight. Also was using it this morning at the morning skate. Hmmm.

That's Patty's stick? Wow, where did you get it? I haven't seen him with Warrior sticks in the last few years. At least not in the games.

[NazHockey94 0]

Nice eye. I wonder how common it is for players to use anothers exact stick?

[cemetery 14]

I think he just had Stamkos's name bar put on his sticks for good luck or something, since he came into the league Stamkos has had red One95's/TO's.

Adam Oates is the x-factor here...Stamkos changed his curve when Oates was coaching in Tampa Bay - and now Oates is in NJ...

[nisselrm 21]

yup, he likes his shooters on the pp to have some toe in the curve nad has guys tweak their curves

Doesn't surpise me at all. He himself had some crazy looking curves depending what he was doing -- i think he had one for face offs and all around play and one for being on the PP. I remember him being interviewed when he had a brief stint in Philly. I'll see if i can dig up a picture somewhere.

[JR Boucicaut 3760]

Well, he had that blade that had the toe chopped off. Hated the toe so he sawed it off and then stuck with it.

[Jim A 4]

one of the detriments to wood sticks being gone like the dodo...you'd be able to go to a shop like in South Windsor and they would have tons of pro patterns and options all over the place!

[Harv 86]

Hungary Franchises are amazing..

[AIREAYE 248]

Exactly like the Italian flag!

[jsykes 35]

Those are two differnet gloves. The first photo is a red/white/red scheme with green on the cuff, the second photo is red/white/green.

[TeamBlue96 3]

I remember him rambling on about how that actually helped him during faceoffs some how? Like the angle of it striking the other centermans stick blade would give him more leverage or some outrageous BS. whatever works i guess.

[215BroadStBullies610 434]

Even in the second picture the first and third skaters have all 3 colors represented on their gloves while their teammate between them only has red and white. Interesting find ha. Either color combo is sick.

As for the Adam Oates convo:

http://www.hittheice.com/gameusedsticks.html. One of the more unique curves in recent history.

Considering he was an excellent faceoff man during his career, maybe it isn't such outrageous bs?

[Chadd 916]

He didn't get good because he cut off the rounded toe. It was just a preference, we all have our own.
