Got to hold one of Datsyuk's old game sticks today! His sticks have added weight to them which make him very difficult to get off the puck or win those 50/50 puck battles. His blade is longer. He also doesnt have a massive curve. Its very flat at the heel to middle of the blade which are great for backhanders. Very cool to hold this bad boy! Wish I owned it! #PavelBarber #Datsyuk #Awesome #nhl #hockey
