Pros who use Lidstrom/Getzlaf curve (with pics)

Recommended Posts

I thought it would be neat to compile a list of pros who use the (relatively rare) Lidstrom/Getzlaf heel curve. Here are the guys I've found so far: Alexander Edler (formerly), Jean-Gabriel Pageau, Jacob Trouba, Connor Brickley and Kevin Porter. Can you think of any more? Try to post a pic showing the curve!

The Easton version on that pattern always seemed to me to be more of a Banana Heel w/ Square Toe vs the P02.

The patterns appear to vary widely, just with the guys you pictured. They aren't all using the lidstrom/getzlaf retail curve.

More Defencemen will be using the square at the top than forwards - corners and boards puck play

Heel curves are extremely popular in the NHL happy pic hunting :popcorn: this thread should have 1000's of pics

Chadds right. At the moment the most popular curve in the NHL is the E3 by a HUGE margin. Heels are few and far between.

The only one I'm not sure about is Brickley. I know for a fact that Pageau uses a Lidstrom, and also that Trouba uses a slightly tweaked Lidstrom (it was described to me as "very close to a retail Lidstrom"). Edler's pattern looks like a pretty spot-on Lidstrom from that angle, and the blade profile also fits.

We have a Brickley prostock at work, it's def a P02

It's been an interesting trend to watch, seems like yesterday everyone was using a 'Drury'.

Elder stopped using the square toe after the Torts season.

I can confirm JP Pageu as I have had some of his sticks before.

In terms of overall Pros/College players I would say about 1 in 200 players use the heel curve. Very popular among men's leaguers 40+ though. A lot of stud guys used to play with this pattern and thats all they want to use.

You can see in the pic you posted that Trouba is using a blade with more of a mid curve and less loft than a Lidstrom (retail) style curve.
