Defensemen and toe curves

[splitbtw 2]

Are there any defensemen in the NHL other than Burns and Zidlicky that use a toe curve?

I'm pretty sure Letang uses a toe curve too.

Any pics? The pattern database won't show them to me.

Letang, Doughty, and Karlsson all use the same curve (Kreps).

Radek Martinek uses an odd looking toe curve

Doughtys toe is a little smaller

Doughtys toe is a little smaller

Letang used a more mild version this past year too. All very similar though.

Honestly, I've seen all these curves numerous times, especially the letang and karlsson ones, guys on my team had them this year, they're all mid curves with less mid and more toe, only really Gonchar and Russell are using real toe curves IMO.

They are called mid-toe curves.

A couple of other questions.

Why is it called the Kreps curve?

Is it similar to the Bauer P08 (Ovechkin) with the P08 having more heel and more loft?

I'm well aware, what they're called, I was just mentioning guys using true, straight toe curves.

Kreps is Kamil Kreps an easton guy who uses toe curves which I didn't was important when naming curves. It's easier to look at the curve: http://www.prostockhockeygear.com/gallery/p#rs-kreps-curve.html

Kris Russell uses a tall Hossa.
