That’s exactly what I meant. If it’s not monetary then it must be the product itself. So I’m curious what they liked about verbero over the other brands. Fit, comfort, protection, or what.

That or he has a friend/old playing buddy involved in the company somehow.

Larkin using a QR Edge tonight and breaking a 17-game goal-less drought in the process....other pictures show it was Abdelkader's stick.

Does Abdelkader still use a P91-variant? Or did he move to the P92? Because Larkin uses the P92 so maybe now he'll realize that curve is ass and the P91 and its heel-curve brethren are the best :D

I wouldn't be surprised if Abdelkader has a bunch of different curves that he's tinkered with. 

I remember when a friend of mine who is close friends with Toews returned from a visit with a bundle of his sticks and there was every curve from a wedge to a kovy clone mixed in, all made for Toews.

 

[GoalForFun 176]

If he still has those I'd love to look at and potentially buy anything that's a heel curve!

This was a couple years ago now, when Toews was still using Warrior.

Toews is using the new Nexus stick. Just like the new Supreme skate, it’s cool enough to get “Pro” in the name. 

Funny how “Pro” denotes different things at retail for different companies.

How long has Atkinson been in branded “Verbero” mitts? Just noticed them in some game action tonight. 

He's been in the gloves for about 2 months that I've seen.  Loves the product, really liked their rep. 

Ritchie in Anaheim was in them for all of last season and most of this until the company did some downsizing with staff and the rep was let go.  He may be back in them at this point...

Nope, see above.

Looks nice, I wonder what's different this time around though.

There's more blue on the top half of the shaft.

I don't know if this is the right place to share this, but interesting article about a deal with CCM and TFP nonwovens.

[Buzz_LightBeer 969]

I wonder if that means bringing some production back to Canada or just a coating process like colt tried.

Ryan Spooner has been in Vebero gloves all of this season (well, at least his time in Boston), maybe even part of last season. 

He was the first NHL guy I saw in them.

Just saw him at practice on the Rangers IG in a pair of Verbero mits, guess he got some new ones and is breaking them in.

 

It's the second pic in this post:

Is this real life or an April Fools joke? I’m ok with STX getting in the market, but I’m not sure something that radical would be the way to do it.

I believe it is an April Fools joke. If they are planning to jump in to the goalie market they'd start by just releasing a goalie version of a  Puregrip stick.

[Buzz_LightBeer 969]

One would hope

[Jamarquan 201]

I thought that was field hockey gear for a second.

It is field hockey gear

It looks like Larks is still using the edge as of yesterday. It’s funny how Larkin using another manufacturers stick is a game narrative for me so I was on the lookout.

Alot of guys really liked the palm material they sourced.  Then some Big name brand found the source of the material and bought it all up making it extremely challenging for the guys at Verbero.  Dirty Pool.

[Fletch 219]

What kind of stick is that?
