You see, Hasek is notorious for possessing telekinesis powers which he uses to trip people ten feet away from him. Well, he is experimenting with other types of magic.

These are the same pads, but with Level 4 Aspect of the Monkey spell. He can have one aspect on at a time. You'll have to go to him if you want a buff like that.

Does that mean Draper/Maltby/Cleary used Aspect of the Pack last year? WoW I didn't know that...

That matches the photos of Chris from Getty Images. Also, they are are same type of pads he wore last March.

Are those pics you are getting from Getty of Ozzie this season tho?

I just looked at some pics, looks like they are the Itech's. And now that I think about it, it was Holmqvist down in Tampa that has the Sherwood pads. Oops! :blush:

Keep in mind that the pads pros wear are more often than not NOT what you will find labeled as the "Pro" version found in stores. Ozzy uses the 9.8 graphic, that much is for sure. What the internals are made up of is quite likely built up from the retail version to compensate for the frequency and speed of pro shooters. Osgood has added thigh rise length, and I know he has been using the cheater on the inside thigh rise that Hasek adopted for last season as well as this year. Also, comparing the outside rolls, he has modded the break above the knee rolls to make it a solid roll, just just two breaks in the outside roll instead of 3 on the retail. He appears to have his boot shortened as well to get maximum height out of the pad. They are also obviously 11" wide pads, all the retail 9.8s you will find are 12" or wider. My advice, don't buy pads based on the graphic pros use, you will look like them but it will not be the same pad.

Getty has photos from this season (Calgary game) and last March of Ozzie wearing the same style pads against Chicago. Go to www.gettyimages.com, and then Editorial and Sports. Search on Chris's name and you'll see all of the photos.
