Do they even check players sticks anymore?

[Automattic]

Have you seen some of the blades around the league? All kinds of shapes and sizes. Not saying they are illegal, but there are some strange ones. And yes, there has to be some forbidden sticks out there. Do refs still check?

Only Marty McSorely's...

I hear the main focus is on the shaft of the stick, not the tip?

I've often wondered about OV's. He's got a nasty curve on his.

grrrrr

 

[Automattic]

That was kinda funny?

 

[Automattic]

You see...Marty's is the last I recall...

 

[pixburgher66]

Hahahaha, just sayin'. His is the only one that I can honestly say I've noticed to be a big curve during play (really opening the door to jokes here...oh well).

Pretty mean rocket.

hmm...

 

[pixburgher66]

Can you imagine how incensed the fans would be if a stick was checked though...I'd be ticked personally. It's always seemed like a cop-out when the other team does it, unless it's really obvious. Like the pine-tar thing with Brett. Just stupid.

Gotta love how he breaks it and runs to the bench. Hilarious.

yeah, they last longer that way.

 

[BostonAJ]

Do we really need the rule at all? Curve the fuck out of that thing if you want to.

Blake Lively's curves have to be illegal.
