Took me longer than I wanted, but best I could do at the moment;

Its not all white, so I heavily approve!

Kaapo Kähkönen’s new alternative set up.

 

 

Just needs a black stick now, then it would be perfect.

Beautiful setup.

Vasy's throwback set.

As a dude that rocked two different sets of that vintage of Reactors - respect. Love them.

I thought he switched to the new Konekts?

[chile57]

@jerd31 looks like Konekts to me. If you zoom in you can see the "hinge".

He did, but uses the white holder.  Switched out of the black ones. 

Noticed Askarov is using the black holders on his regular Bauer lace up boots.

I know he's been in them for a while but those look like the v1 Konekts and not the v2 with black holder.

Interesting, so he's in v2 Konekts but kept the v1 holder?  They're still the same Vertexx Edge holders, just black vs. white, right?

I also had a set of these pads, to this day still one of my favourite pads I have owned and used!

Loathe this goalie, appreciate his fine taste in gear cosmetics.

Yes

Wedgewood back in one piece skates, still using bauer glove and blocker but with a nice subtle matching glove graphic. Looks like someone just copy pasted the blocker graphic to the glove though. You can see the "stitch lines" are the exact same as the blocker lol

Still better than a typical Lefevre glove graphic.

Mrazek with a new v10 away graphic

Bobrovsky's new Trues are the first Hzrdus pair that I actually like. I think the key is to use big blocks of colour and ignore all the thin/segmented/angled Tetris blocks.

Needs more tape on that stick. WTF is that mess?

Great goalie, but his sticks are an abomination 

[chile57]

Looks like his paddle is all of 15" too.

24" apparently.

26" at the top of the shoulders, 22" at the bottom. Your average stick has about a 1" difference for the slope of the shoulders. The shoulders on Bob's stick are 4x that. Being able to hold the stick this way means his blocker presents much more upright to the shooter

FWIW, I used to skate with some Ducks staff and one of the guys had a Ryan Miller stick. 24.5" is what was printed on the stick and also on the 3rd pic below. So Bobrovsky's might be even shorter (22" or 22.5") than what InGoal says.

I use a regular stick and I play C league over 40.

Bob has a crazy custom stick and he's one of the best goalies on the planet.

Conclusion? My stock sticks are holding me back.

Ccm measures from the bottom of the shoulder not the top. So while the bottom of the shoulders is 22 or 22.5, the top is still a 26ish so it's used more like a 24 or 24.5. It's the same situation with my saros sticks, they're labeled as 24 but I had to buy 25s to get the same overall shoulder height (and then trim the shoulders to match the saros stick)

[chile57]

Guess the thick sarcasm I said it with on the other side of the screen didn't come through.  In short - they are short. How short? Who really knows for sure except the equipment manager (or not - since pro equipment is less so focused on sizing and points to the owner mostly and he probably doesn't carry around a tape measure (or doesn't he (?))).
