Cool story bro alert - One night Robert Reichel cost me a $200 pro-line winning ticket by scoring into an empty net (I took the under and his empty net goal put it over).

Does he use an uncurved blade like his father before him?

[sureLoss]

Dube with a decent scoring chance, draws the ire of Hronek after taking another wack at the puck in the Czech goalie's pads.

Both get off 2 mins.

[sureLoss]

Dube puts a shot on goal, which Cirelli almost pots in the robound.

Reichel used a curve. I remember it had Ann odd scoop Andy the coaches didn't like it - he shot high a fair bit.


Looks curved to me:

Havent seen a lot of Strome in the past but watching these last two games leaves me rather unimpressed to be honest.

How was Dube tonight?

Yeah Reichel had a huge curve. That damn curve caused him to scoop and have accuracy issues every now and then. I remember him having an open net but shot it straight into Kirk MacLean which we ended up losing by Bures OT goal game 7, 94 playoffs against the Canuckleheads.

For that reason I was always bitter about Reichel.
