Watching the game tonight on VS. I turned it on in the second intermission I had errands to run one of the twins had an ear ache today. Anyways they said that the NHL is talking about banning graphite hockey sticks and going back to all wood hockey sticks.
NHL commisioner Gary Bettman "how many times this year have we seen a player go to shoot the puck and his stick breaks when he winds up and takes a slapshot or it doesn't have to be a slapshot it could be a wristshot? too many". "with the use of all wood hockey sticks the sticks are solid wood and alot more sturdier and they don't break as easy as these two in one graphite sticks there has been more broken sticks this year than 2006
by the way the NHLPA shot this idea down "saying that players like graphite sticks because the shaft of the stick bends when a player goes and shoots the puck and the player gets more velocity on the puck.
I agree with Bettman on this 110% how many times this year did we hear RJ say Vanek shoots and he snapped his stick in half or Pominville at the point on the PowerPlay and his stick exploded.
