Hey all,

Just curious if anyone has used this curve or not? If so how would it compare to an ovi pro curve/Kremlin. Also if anyone has pictures of the curve I would really appreciate it if you could post a few. To me it looks close to a hossa pro.

Thanks!

[KidCoyote]

It is the Hossa pro.

[numan]

No no. It's a kreps

[KidCoyote]

No no. It's a kreps

Really? Where is Hossa from? Think about it...

Didn't mean to open up a can of worms guys. Anyone have a picture besides warriors customizer?

I'm going to post a picture of the Kremlin and Hossa Pro/ Slovak side by side in a few

On MSH, the Warrior rep said the Slovak is the Hossa pro pattern

Thanks a lot for the side by side! Which one to you prefer?

I haven't used the Kremlin but I can't really handle the Hossa. It's great for toe drags and such but it's too inconsistant for me. I feel that if you don't release the puck in a specific spot the puck will just flutter off the blade.

Not sure if it's named after an actual player but this is all I can think of when I hear that name

Kreps is "short" for Kremlin, Kremlin is Russian, "THE" Russian is Ovy...

The Kreps is like a Sakic but with more toe. Nothing like Ovi's current pattern. Here is a pic of it:

Is that a BASE Hossa? If so where did you get it? I can't find them anywhere (I'm in the US)

[bob11]

Kreps could be named after Kamil Kreps?

[Watchgreat]

yeah it is bob. also kreps I believe is the versteeg not slovak

[numan]

Yeah kreps is named after Kamil Kreps he invented the pattern himself while playing in Florida and it has since become one of of not the most popular pattern in the NHL. Don't know how you came up with its short for kremlin haha.
And I guess kreps must be the versteeg last time I talked to warrior inquiring about an afenasankov curve before the customized was launched they told me they would offer a kreps and that it was going to Be the Slovak, guess they changed it

[twistoffate19]

Versteeg pattern on the Warrior customizer is the Kreps curve. Friend of mine has a Versteeg from the customizer. I put it next to the Doughty stick I had before (Kreps) and they were near identical.

Slovak pro is the Hossa clone (just bbm'd my friend who works for Warrior and he confirmed it).
