Oh no😮
Barely
Trash team this Vancouver
OILERS IN 7
For want of a stick the game was lost. For want of a game the series was lost.
People need to understand material science with these carbon fibre sticks. They're light and amazingly strong(for their mass/weight, this is how carbon fibre achieves a higher tensile strength ratio to steel), but due to the resin used in construction, they're fragile once you surpass their rated thresholds(this can be improved by weave patterns or adding more layers, but that often means more weight/less flex).
Also notice Petey snaps his at where he's leveraging the stick, and not the typical joint area where the blade assembly is attached(at least for older compound stick designs). He isn't breaking his stick at the joint, he's surpassing the stick's tensile strength.
They should change a rule for the next season, wood stick only for once.
The crying begins
Hopefully his Driver doesn't do that😂
Shouldn't those be golf clubs?
What?! That's how you take a slapper?
That's showing something more than a broken stick! Guy had a bad knee. He felt it hard there.
Petey woulda missed anyway. He’s such p word
A broken $94 million contract.
Ah yes Elias The Invisible!
For everyone saying wood wouldn't break. Yeah it wouldn't break but guys couldn't shoot the puck nearly as fast. Most of the speed for shots comes from the flex of the stick
Oilers in the finals go oilers play la bamba
“Obviously you’re not a golfer”
Carbon fiber is strong but doesn't take impact well. They're disposable at the NHL level but I feel bad for the kids that have to buy them.

Breaking news would be trading someone
Just lumber laying all over that ice.
😂
😊
Sticks never broke like that when i played
Wow that puck hit hard
Breaking News🚨 this is clickbait
$500 garbage sticks.. give me back my ccm or koho.
you guys still suck! boooooooooooo!
I agree, bring back the wood. You would think one of these pros would have the guts to do it. But most pros couldn’t shoot as hard with a wooden stick, but they would miss the net as much either.
Does anyone else remember when Al Mcinnis broke sticks nigtlly ?🤔
I think in those key points in the game, especially in the playoffs, the defenseman should switch back to wooden or aluminum shafted sticks. I've lost count howmany times that ive watched a stick shaft just explode during a key moment in the game. You never saw that when wood sticks or aluminum shafted sticks were in use.
