nutters 217 Report post Posted August 6, 2018 While looking at the Super Tacks As1 for pre order on some sites they show a P88 Ovechkin curve as an option. Does anyone know if this will this be a new crazy curve, or just their retail P80 (Bauer P88 clone)/P40 replacement? Noticed it though there seems to be no additional details that I have found.

Cavs019 708 Report post Posted August 6, 2018 If I were guess it’s now a true P88 clone at retail to replace the P40- The Hossa/Mackinnon P40 isn’t showing up as available for preorder and had a much squarer toe IIRC. Popular player + popular pattern = sales. What’s funny is McDavid’s actual pattern is pretty close to a P88, while Ovechkin’s is close to a P28/P08/Kreps. Too late to swap? Edit: Monkey has both the P40 and P88 for pre order, IW only has the P88. Weird. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flip12 711 Report post Posted August 9, 2018 McDavid's pattern looks a lot like Easton's Iginla-Jr with a bit deeper curve. It's generally a mid-curve with a pretty substantial degree of loft. It's a funny blade face. Kinda reminds me of a platypus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Novotnoa 8 Report post Posted August 9, 2018 Do you guys know if the JetSpeed stick will be offered in the new p88, if not how different is p40. CCM’s not having a p88 curve is the reason I haven’t tried one out in a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CCM’s not having a p88 curve is the reason I haven’t tried one out in a while. The P40 and P88 are very similar. P40 is slightly shorter. The toe of the P40 is slightly taller and square(ish). The actual curvature of the blade is almost identical. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
start_today 764 Report post Posted August 11, 2018 They don't even offer the p40 anymore, do they? I thought that got phased out for the p30, which is basically a p88 with a noticeable toe curve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
