stackem30 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Excuse the poor quality — I saved this image on my computer years ago, and have no idea where it came from. I believe this is Brodeur trying out some unbranded Sherwood prototypes in the summer of 2009, when he switched from Reebok to Sherwood. Brodeur's Sherwood gear was never the "actual" T-100 MB30 Sherwood gear — the first Sherwood gear he wore in fall 2009 were pretty much the standard "Brodeur specs", and had very little to do with the actual line of gear. Over the next few seasons he did embrace more and more specs that made his gear a bit closer to the actual T-100 line, along with some general modernizations. Re: this picture, my guess is that Sherwood simply cloned his Reeboks (which were themselves an amalgamation of his old gear) to make this prototype, and then once they'd successfully replicated his specs to his approval, they went back and built his first "real" Sherwood set with graphics, etc. Still, pretty cool to see a pro testing out a completely unbranded set of gear.

I totally agree. I’m like 99% sure I tried to draw this exact photo as a kid, I was so taken with it. Vernon always has great shots for his hockey cards and panini stickers.

I know he never strayed from his bird cage. I don´t remember that but if I remember right Irbe wore a mask some time in Dallas (?) and went quickly back to Jofa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike24 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Really interesting. I’d like to see that. I think Soderstroms was a Ed Cubberly. I was told he only wore it in practice a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stackem30 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I'm not sure how "rare" it is when you think of all the different gear he experimented with throughout his career, but seeing Tim Thomas with a 'regular' mask (especially with a cat-eye) was something you only got at the very beginning and end of his time in the NHL.

MTH Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Hexy wore Kenesky pads in 1987. They were all brown. He went to white Cooper pads the following few years. Appears that Kenesky made him an all white pair he wore in practices and all but not in regular season games (as far as I know): You can see his 1987-1988 mask, The classic Cooper leather gloves still. While on Hexy... here's a rare 'setup'. Hextall without his normal facial hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man when I was learning to play goal on ice, transitioning from street hockey to ice hockey, I wanted to play like this. I was anti-butterfly in those days. I wanted to be the next Hextall or Ranford. Of course, it wasn’t long until I realized how much more efficient butterfly was. I do throw in a move like the save above every once in a while. Hextall was always minus 2 on the pads but plus 2 on the mustache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raucebyalien Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 On the rare headgear theme, the Kings made Canucks legend Dan Cloutier wear a proper mask for awhile (from memory I think he went back to a combo at some point?), also testing a TPS glove here instead of instead of his normal Lefevre-heritage glove.

Pauly35or00 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 The rarest of setups. Man I really wish Blackburn didn't get hurt, he was damn good before he had to go to the two blockers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauly35or00 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Better look at the blocker/glove. Dan had a nerve injury where he could no longer catch high shots. The idea with this hybrid glove was to block high shots and switch his hand over to catch low shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike24 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 If I remember correctly the league said it would be ok for him to use the hybrid blocker. As Blackburn was thinking about a comeback. But ultimately didn’t something to with forfitting an injury insurance pay out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raucebyalien Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Yeah as far as I can remember, the league ok'd it, he tried it out in the Rangers camp and they subsequently waived him (I remember there being a quote from one of the rangers brass about him playing well but the skaters in front of him reacted differently or couldn't trust a goalie that couldn't immediately catch / kill a puck) but then in the minors he also got a serious knee ligament injury. At that point I think he just decided to take, or was advised to take by his agent, the $5m insurance payout for injury leading to a loss of career. I think that white Brians glove might be someone else btw - H series stuff was from around 2010ish whilst i can only remember DB wearing a black and white Vaughn or the red one in the alumni game pic.

MTH Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I know his Velocity sets were just stock graphics - but they were pretty simple and paired well with the Rangers uniforms. I couldn't find any action shots of him in the red based gear with a regular catch glove on. Would be an interesting home/away gear pairing though. Did he look to jump on Team Canada?

He posted it on GSBB: Was for an older goalie who had some injuries he was playing with. So Rod, the legend, made this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
