2013-2014 Gear Sightings

[Harv 86]

Was looking for good pictures of that Ovi mood, but found this instead.

Looks like he uses 3 fight straps on his jersey.

[RadioGaGa 162]

To prevent accidentaly tucking? I guess he doesn't want a longer jersey.

He must be an equipment managers nightmare.

I'm sure the end of the year tip he gives the EQM makes up for any headaches that he causes during the year.

They aren't supposed to wear longer jerseys either. The league was supposedly cracking down on guys wearing oversized jerseys as well.

[JR Boucicaut 3789]

I meant he as in the EQM. I referenced it was a WSH mod.

[dools 2]

Speaking the 3 straps, if you watch the Bertuzzi-Weber fight from the playoffs, you'll see that Bert has the same set-up.

looks like john tavares is using a blacked out reebok tonight. never seen him use anything other than a ccm.

he's been using it since the beginning of the season

[th6252 25]

never noticed for some reason. thought i saw him using a cl500 in the pre-season and just assumed he was still using it as he's not really one to make equipment changes during the season.

[Amiroo39 121]

finally changed out of his runners too

From what I saw first hand as a rep, NOBODY was worse than Sergei Federov. Not even Paul Kariya and there are horror stories about PK!

BINGO! Have heard he is a very good tipper.

There's a pair of Fedorov Eagles on eBay that has the piping removed from the thumbs. That must feel nice, but man that must have been a pain, whoever had to do that mod.

[JR Boucicaut 3789]

That's not a mod Sergei requested. Must be after the gloves left the team.

Sergei's biggest pet peave was having tight gloves across the palm and at the "opening" of the glove. Robitaille was the same way.

Martin St. Louis as well - when I was in Tampa, I never had a full set - the other glove was pulled in tightly. He'd wear out the other glove and replace it, and keep the modded one.

[JonnyNiceNeat 2]

Pav's been sporting the 11K's for a while - but this is something I never expected them to be used for...

[JGraz15 53]

Not a gear sighting but another player switch (seems to be the season)...strange seeing Bergeron in CCM lid and mitts (looks like he switched around 10/17 against Florida)

Lucic using a Reebok 'Ribcor' stick.

Strange that it wouldn't have his normal cage on it.

I'd love to hear more of these horror stories, though I'm sure you have more important things to do, ha ha!

I worked at a car wash early on in my college days. He would bring his car in, and no one could figure out how to work it, lol. he was very quiet, the girl he would come with would do more talking, but i think he did regret his anna tattoo that he got.

[17D1998 1]

Sergei was a great guy despite his idiosyncrasies... In all my years, I only had one bad player.

But what about Paul Kariya? He seemed like a pretty laid back guy to me. Come on man, stop teasing us lol

[Amiroo39 121]

Agreed. Looks like they customized his pads to match his jersey. How in the world did you catch that?

Sometimes I catch myself watching out for gear stuff rather than watching the actual game. MSH problems...

I'm surprised Jussi Jokinen hasn't been mentioned yet. Dude was a freak about his gloves in Dallas.

Horror stories... I'm convinced that Mod Squad members are worse then NHL players. NHL know what works for them and can make minor tweaks. What I have seen on these boards and 2 summerjams might make a pro rep quit.

he still uses a 9k girdle with ccm shell

[Amiroo39 121]

PK was always good to me. I knew he was staying Easton and just said hi to him; nothing more, nothing less.

I've got a autographed game used stick thanking me for just leaving him alone...LOL

Made him samples when I was at Eagle. Used same patterns as on CCM Pro Gloves at the time, however, he just love the fit of the CCM 4-roll gloves that they were bringing in from Vietnam.

I'm surprised Jussi Jokinen hasn't been mentioned yet. Dude was a freak about his gloves in Dallas.

He used those CCM's specifically for shootouts if I remember correctly. He had his shootout gloves and shootout synergy twig.
