It's an actual white stick.  Same goes for Fegaras.  Major only tapes the handle and the toe of the blade.  About two inches maybe.  One of the more bizarre tape jobs that I recall seeing.

For a couple of the games during winter break, Major played with a "normal" stick during the first period and then switched to the "ghost stick" for the 2nd and 3rd, but now he's back to using it full-time (maybe a superstition?)

Also, some of the ice looked purple on the video. (Circle in front of E and part of the neutral zone). Lynah lighting weirdsies + digital camera effects?
It's not purple irl.

Also, yeah, the Major and Fegaras white sticks are crazy cool, imo. I can see what a pain it would be on the TV though 😅

That was a brilliant effort by him. I am interested to see how close to his offensive ceiling he can get to within our system

I forgot about this the other day but being back last night reminded me of it.

On one of the many icings Friday, O'Brien was the one who sent the puck down and went for a change.  He was replaced by Veilleux who jumped on the ice and immediately hunched over and pretended to be out of breath.  The ref or linesman was right there so it didn't work.  I'm sure it happens all the time but in all of my hockey watching I don't recall seeing that trick attempted before.
