looks like brad richards sprays his blades silver or uses a shaft blade combo/ repaint since the RSII isn't available in a shaft.

Looks like van Riemsdyk does the same.

Also wearing TotalONE NXG gloves

[JR Boucicaut 3804]

Well technically yours is orange but it is still a sweet graphics scheme I saw one of st. louis' sticks at the lhs hoping to pick it up soon!

Mine's orange? News to me. LOL

[AIREAYE 248]

Looks like turtletneck stunt kicked JVR in the groin...

[Harv 86]

I did that color/graphic scheme before he did. :)

Chadd and I were one of the first to test out the customizer.

Did St. Louis switch over to Warrior because Easton wouldn't do the yellow anymore?

[JR Boucicaut 3804]

I don't really know the story. Bauer made him some yellow sticks a few years back as well.

Haven't you heard JR, yellow is the new orange!

[JR Boucicaut 3804]

Lighting is off. It's yellow.

[Joonas #6 3]

Wow, congrats JR! You had yellow stick before Marty!

[Kessel'sOversizedSuit 18]

Looks like the Rangers' style padded gloves are catching on. Noticed Tyler Bozak sporting these last night

Ya just saw that too....he's using a PM9 Stamkos curve. Saw it clearly when he was in the box.

[hyster110 3]

A number of people have said that as the kids that grew up using composite sticks reach the pro level, more and more are sticking with retail patterns. They didn't grow up customizing them as much as guys in the days of wood blades.

[adam14 182]

Do you think that over time as these guys fill out a bit more at the pro level and change their style of play, they'll sort of develop into their own curve?

[team50 20]

Mike Johnson of TSN during the Oilers broadcast last night mentioned that Ryan Smyth has changed to a composite blade that is painted to look like wood. Not sure if this has been mentioned.

I can see that and maybe I'm just saying this because obviously I don't play in the NHL, but I'd like sticks with my name on it. He could still essentially get the retail build but with that. I like the simplicity behind his choice though.

And question is.. Why?

By the way I dont get why make that kind of hybrid between APX and APX2..

[JR Boucicaut 3804]

To get us to talk about it, that's why.

As per their marketing campaign, they'll have the APX2 unveiled on their pro players at a predetermined point.

Ok got it! Thx JR!

I thought it would've been like with APX that was used by some random guys before going out on the market if I remember correctly?
