What Stick Does Pavel Barber Use?

Spec Check - Pavel Barber

Hot Take: Pavel Barber has had a bigger impact on how the game is played today than some actual NHL players.

From "try that in a game" to teaching the Michigan years before it ever showed up in the NHL, Barber always preached that it was only a matter of time before creativity made its way into the game. The rookies entering the league today grew up watching his videos, and it's no coincidence they're the ones pushing the game in that direction.

Looking at his specs, it all makes sense. A toe curve is almost essential for this style of puck handling, and the P28 has long been the go-to for players who love to create. Pair it with a lower flex and you've got the perfect setup for quick toe-drag releases, Michigans, and the kind of silky hands Barber became known for.

It's the kind of influence that earns you a signature stick. The Pro Blackout Pavel Barber Edition is down to its final few in stock, grab yours before they're gone. Who knows? Maybe it'll be the next stick to make its way into the NHL.
