I went to the Kings Game-Used Equipment Sale this morning to see what kinds of goodies were up for grabs. It supposedly started at 10AM so I went at 10:30 thinking I'd be one of the first people there but the place was packed. I was going to take a picture of the sale but I wasn't allowed to. No matter. I posted pictures of what I bought and that's all that really matters right?The sale was set on the roller hockey rink at the Toyota Sports Center. There were jerseys lining the fencing; tables with sticks skates and blades; and there was a table of socks and practice jerseys.- The white jerseys were $400 and the black jerseys were $600. With the 45% discount they were still $220 and $330 respectively. Hell no! Sorry you don't get your Cloutier jersey.- Pushkarev uses a heavy stick. WOW. That thing was super heavy compared to all of the other sticks on the tables.- There were a ton of Frolov. Thornton and Brown sticks.- I really liked Sully's stick; it was super duper light and the shaft was pretty grippy (if that's even a word).- I saw an Alfredsson stick there??- Ivanans is a tall guy so why is his stick so short?- The are way more left-handed players than right-handed players on the team which made it difficult for me.- One guy working there picked up a Cammalleri stick and said to his buddy. "I'm surprised this Cammy stick is still here." Well dude it's probably because it's the only one laying on a table with about 100 other sticks. My loot from the sale:- I only saw ONE Blake stick so I snatched that up (obviously).- I picked up a Brown stick as a gift for my brother. I think I lucked out with the pricing on it so I'm happy.- Lastly I bought a black practice jersey. The jerseys with numbers on them were only $5 more than the ones without. Conclusion: I don't know how much stuff is going to be there tomorrow considering how many people came through for the 30 minutes that I was there. But I'm going to lob a guess and say that there are gonna be PLENTY of game-used jerseys left above all else.
Dammit! Why are they charging so much for Cloutier's jerseys? Are they trying to make the fans pay for his ridiculous contract?To ebay I go... :o)Thanks. CKim. I appreciate you looking and nice pick-up on the Blake stick!
Nice! I feel bad for Rob Blake and getting all his goals taken away lately.
Teebz - No problem. I tried to joke about how the Cloutier jersey was the same price as the other jerseys to the sales girl but I don't think she really knew anything about hockey since she didn't catch my attempt to mock. Oh well. Oh they had JJ's #33 jersey from last year when he played a couple of games at the end of the season. I thought that was pretty cool. Kirsten - I have no idea what's been going on with these refs lately but it seems like Blake's been getting the crappy end of the deal more times than not. And I heart my Blake stick. The tape is still on the blade and it is an amazing tape job. I guess after years of doing it one becomes an expert.
