It's funny b/c the move was nice but he def misfired on the shot, I guess it doesn't matter because it was the confidence boost he needed lol.

Thoughts? Read more The taper is a little longer and beefier. I assume the combination of a reinforced taper in combination with boron is where Bauer gets the marketing that the stick is 2x more durable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thoughts? Read more Been using one for a little over a week and you're right, it's a little longer and beefed up. I was surprised at how much I liked the stick. With this trend to lighter and lighter sticks I've often felt disconnected from the stick when on the ice (the Catalyst PX being the worst offender) but I didn't experience that. First stick since the One95 where I'm actually impressed with a Bauer twig. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The composition of material and the slightly modified taper have that result. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flip12 721 Report post Posted October 5, 2022 Looks like McDavid's back in his trusty old OG JetSpeed build, dressed up to appear ASVish: Boot pattern looks like before, can also see foxing and hints of a separate outsole. He's (probably) never leaving that build for good. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Read more Since it's not an NHL requirement, I'm guessing old habits to have something there. Mantha constantly chews on his too. And so does one of my kids and I constantly have to get him a new one as they're req'd more or less. I'd rather have his jaw clamp on something than not when getting hit. My takeaway from that pic is that McDavid uses a really short stick. Edited October 5, 2022 by rh71el2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s possibly just the angle of the camera and a rather relaxed moment with him standing almost completely upright.

Westside 250 Report post Posted October 15, 2022 Some additional info/closer photos were posted to Reddit. The Powerfly holder. New trigger section seems unnecessarily large compared to the current generation. Wonder if steel will be backwards compatible? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
