Hey Guys, It's Been Awhile....Blues Equip. Sale
Hey Guys, It's Been Awhile....Blues Equip. Sale
Hey guys, haven't really been around much this year as 2014 has been a pretty crazy in a good way year for me. First off I'm getting married on June 7th, and expecting my first baby around the first week of December. Additionally, I got a new job that starts the week after I get married that pays a nice 3x more than what I am currently making. It may have taken 30 years, but this is hand down the best year of my life so far. I'd like to start collecting again sometime in the last quarter of the year and at least this time I won't have to sell off everything nice that I get when I need the extra money.
Anyway, the Blues had their annual equipment sale today....I had never been to one and I'm off today, so I decided to go down to St. Louis to have a look. They had the sale at Scottrade Center down where the ice would be. The boards were still up so it was kinda neat seeing all the seats from a player perspective. Most of the stuff was new gear that had never been used and was just left over from the season. I brought a few hundred bucks with me even though I didn't want to spend it all. The sale started at 10 and I got there about 9:40 and there were already about 200 people waiting to get in. I guess there were some game used items, but there were so few of them that they got picked up fast. I ended up just getting a stick that TJ Oshie uses. They had about 20 sticks with Oshie's stamp and they were all gone in about 15 min of the sale starting. I figure I'd keep an eye out for a signing sometime and get the blade autographed and display it somewhere in the house.
Here is a picture:

Here is a pic from the 2014 Olympics just showing that it's the same stick he uses in game:

Also, for you Halak fans they had these for sale too....there was no documentation with them, so it's hard telling if they were used in practices or in games. They had Halak stitched on the left side of the pad so they must have been his custom pads. $600 price tag per set though...

They had about 8 Halak stamped goalie sticks too for just $60 each, but I they were Koho and some other brand. I looked up some game pics of Halak and I could only find him using a Sher-wood stick. I had one in my hand in the checkout line but decided to put it back since the brand names didn't match.
