Daisy Duke CCM Tacks pants, TPS gloves , 1970's tape job on both sticks, no shoulders, what appear to be huge Wayne Gretzky esque elbow pads, 8 inch tongues on the skates with the shinny's tucked behind, a Mark Messier-motorcycle hybrid helmet, a follow through on the shot that involves his entire body....I love this man more than my own child.
Thanks for all the comments. I am 60 years old now 2.5 years later after making this fun video. Haven't played in 40 years. Just thought it would be fun to show this comparison! :)
Al MacInnis stated that he could tell he got more power off a carbon stick but that he lost accuracy, so to him the trade off of power for accuracy wasn't worth it which is why he stuck with a wooden stick. Also I think a lighter carbon stick threw off the timing he build up in the head throughout his career. On the flip side, Brett Hull made the transition no problem but in fairness it was toward the end of his career so we didn't get to see prime Brett with a carbon stick.
I love how the NHL and everyone associated with it tries to convince us that they allowed the switch to synthetic sticks, to save trees. I get it, they wanted a lighter tougher stick that would allow them to shoot harder, but just don't lie about your motives. As someone who has used both, the wooden stick makes handling the puck and receiving a pass much easier.
Yes. The NHL wanted more goals. With all the huge equipment goalies started wearing, goals scored began to drop significantly. Carbon sticks were brought in to help increase goal production.
I don’t think I could ever use a full wooden stick again. I just remember my hands hurting after playing. At the same time I don’t really like the newest sticks out because they’re really expensive and break easier than a 2 piece. My old 1 piece Synergies are still in tact, and the several shafts I now own are really sturdy and play just as good. Plus it’s cheap to replace just a blade. But if I was paid to play or given free sticks I’d use new ones all day.
Its not the stick, its the players skill and technique that counts!! Both sticks will eventually break as the natural process of fibre fatigue, whether it be wood or composite made stick!
Bobby Hull could show you what a 100 mile an hour slapshot looked like coming off a peace of lumber. And don't get me started on Mr. Hockey face it, there's nothing better than A Gordie Howe Hat Trick, try that using a titanium shaft and a .composite blade -- LOL !

Wood has amazing properties!

Very true!

I agree!
Heavy shot for a older gentleman

This guy is amazing

This dude can shoot.
What is that technique
1970's technique! LOL
Which one can take a 100 mph slapshot you think ?
Either or.
An impact from a 100 mph slapshot , composites seem to shatter but will wood do the same or can it take a few more 100 mph slapshots ?
@@creeator I don't believe wood would shatter. Maybe after a lot of shots.
@@creeator Al MacInnis, Al Iafrate proved the wooden sticks can handle the shots
man is just walking
artificial ice!
I like seeing a guy slash another guy in the face with wood, personally.
