Maybe he will begin to deliver on the expectation that were set when he got drafted 20th overall 😉

A lot of first rounders don’t make it or don’t become stars if they do. I wonder what percentage of first round picks excel in the NHL. Those expectations are quite suspect IMO.

I looked at games played by first rounders once. It was kind of shocking to see how few games these guys played. What was even more shocking was how many GP's were played by 2nd and 3rd rounders from the same drafts.

Agreed. I was kinda saying it “tongue in cheek” since it's been widely known he has had his fair shared of struggles.

Looks like Nate Dog is testing the Bauer Proto.

I'd be surprised if it's actually a proto and not a different model Bauer under. You think he'd jump from an old trigger to a special edition sub 360 gram stick?

He has also been testing a Super Novium lately so I bet he's just trying anything new at this point.

Interesting to see him use them in games though. Practice, that is usual for many players, but using something new in a game is not common.

Found this interesting, albeit not surprising. You can clearly see the outsole on Connor McDavid’s “FT6P’s”

I don’t care what anyone says. Tan mitts/pants for outdoor games are always a chef’s kiss

You can also see his SuperTacks weave in close up of his stick too. Evidently CCM isn't doing old designs anymore 🤷‍♀️

I just wish they were more available and we didn't have to hunt a pair down for ourselves.

Sometimes that looks good.  This wasn't one of those times.

Rangers breaking in their alternate gloves... Navy with red trim, kind of wish they had some white in there too, two tone gloves are kind of boring.

I agree.  If even there was white trim around the letters and maybe the cuff.

White outline on the letters would've done so well.

[xstartxtodayx 343]

I think a white cuff would've been great, kind of how the Flyers do it now which looks so so good.

And he's right back into his normal graphic OG jetspeeds and last year's stick again

FT6 looks like Microsoft Windows.

Just noticed Doughty's got 55-Flex lace extenders. Is this his way of dealing with the switch from (semi-)soft shell to hard shell Vapors?

He now contends with Jagr for the all-time Frankenskate.

Any idea where to find those these days? I've been looking for a new pair for years.  The 55flex website doesn't exist any longer.
