Epic stick relay in Pens game! Wowzers!

it's actually funny how you thought I was being serious.

I'm glad you can find it funny to think that I thought you were being serious.

guy should be credited with a win.

#1 equipment guy in the league?

 

[Deutschland Dangler]

Guys, we've gone almost two pages here without even once mentioning the equipment manager's name. Crosby's been mentioned at least a half-dozen times. Typical.

I want to know everything about this guy. What a hero. Is he an FA at the end of the season? Calgary's stick-relays have been a little sluggish this year. Country club atmosphere among the trainers.

It's a shame that American equipment managers don't get the hype and attention that European or Canadian ones get. I guess they're not flashy enough.

The Pens - Cats back-to-back games have been epic!

Getting a training jaket with Ted Richards written in the back real soon.

cup aside, dana heinze (head equipment manager) and his crew may be ray shero's greatest legacy to the pens

Yeah, Heinze and company is one of the best in the business.

Yup. If the Toronto stick guy had done this we'd be on the 4th version of this thread.

I'm not joking, that stick relay had me out of my seat in the arena. I'm an opposing fan, it was a usually nothing play, and it was that good.

That's Heinze's Twitter account. He gives you a really good look at the behind the scenes stuff he does. He's very meticulous.

Just thinking out loud but seeing how Sid is the most important Penguin player , wouldn't his sticks be first in the row? Followed by Malkin etc... You see them break a stick and they reach , I'M sure they are all numbed and always in the same order.

I wonder if they just have generic spares there R or L for all players. Seems it would be easier to make that happen so fast. I am just talking for in action switch.

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

I could probably get It there faster with the right harpoon setup.

Great story until we learn that Crosby's goal slump is a result of being handed the wrong sticks every game.

No generic spares. The EQ staff is just that good at situational awareness.

Unfortunately you're not allowed to throw sticks even when handing your stick to another player on the ice.

I can actually answer....it was Teddy Richards.

His son is a year older than my son, same school, played mites together last year, but Teddy Jr is now a squirt.

What do I win??? I mean besides the gratitude of all of HF.

It's such a shame the penguins couldn't win the game for Dana. He was an all-star last night..

 

[irunthepeg]

Is this it?

Probably grabbed him the "legendary Craig Adams" stick. That's how all that magic happened

 

[Cellee]

I'm actually wondering if Crosby planned to use a weak stick to fool the refs into getting a 2-man advantage once a Panther player makes contact with the stick.....with how quickly they gave him a new stick, would that be so out of the question??

Holy cow.

 

[2 Minute Minor]

Never before in my time here has a stick change been thread-worthy, but this is definitely thread-worthy and pretty impressive.

I agree with this, and thanks for whoever made the gif. The equipment guy was sharp right there, and deserves a ton of credit.

 

[KareemTrustfund]

If Steigey and Errey didn't go ape **** over it, I may not have noticed. Bless them.

Heinze > Toews > Crosby
