Answer 1

theres some players who use the straight curve goalies and skaters. some players like the straight curve because it's easier to stick handle without a curve. Most goalies have curved blades but some do have straight

Answer 2

Goalies have curved sticks as well. The only player recently that used anything close to a straight blade was Adam Oates, this increase his face-off skill and backhands, but it wasnt completely straight.

Answer 3

I think if you were to check closely you'd find at least one on every team.

Answer 4

Goalies have curves on their stick, where you heard they didn't is beyond me.

But the player that uses the most straight stick in the NHL is Tomas Holmstrom. There is barely any curve at all on that sucker. It helps him with deflecting shots more effectively.

Answer 5

no the reason is they do not let u take wrist shots or deaking people out but the were good for snap shots and now goalies have curved sticks (evolution)

Answer 6

Sidney Crosby uses an almost straight stick is almost perfectly straight but they dont sell his real blade curve in stores wich p***** me off
