Broken Sticks

[Gagnon39]

How many ways can we break and lose sticks in NHL 11? I know we can break them on shots and lose them on big hits but will stick be broken by slashes from opposing players? It would be nice to see a player get called for tomahawking another player's stick.

I believe that we saw this happen in one of the first Rammer videos. The player who gets slashed loses or breaks his stick on impact of the slash. Let me try to find that video...

Pretty sure sticks can break on slashes. I know for sure they can also break on deflections.

Also they can break in three places, the blade, and two parts of the shaft.

if your stick breaks on a slash, will there be a penalty?

I would imagine. I just hope the stick breaking isn't overdone, although it does happen quite often in real life, I just don't want to see it be something happening various times a game.

probably. this is the dumbest rule in the league by the way- next to the delay of game one

I disagree, if someone slashed hard enough to break a stick they need to sit down for two.

those composite sticks break if you breathe on them wrong.
