Many players play w/a curved blade. Wilson pulled a trump card catching Teemu. I bet if we asked to check Cheechoo's stick we'd have found him out too.
Smart players put their extensively curved blade away during the SCF.

Unless you are able to sneak into all of the locker rooms, you will never find the actual answer to this question. The maximum curve allowed by the NHL is 3/4". Players regularly make alterations to their sticks especially the curves but they are not going to publicize the fact that they are breaking the rules. Players have been caught using illegal sticks more frequently because they started measuring sticks prior to the shoot-outs.

I'm not sure what the rule is on the curve of a blade -- you can check nhl.com -- but there is a maximum amount. So several players no doubt are tied at the limit (an inch? three-quarters?). If a player is caught with a bigger curve, it's a two-minute penalty.
The curves used to go as high as two inches in the good old days. It was tough to find people who wanted to be a goalie when Bobby Hull wound up with that sort of curve.

i know Brent Burns has his very own stick curve. Eric Fehr, in spite of the incontrovertible fact that, i'm uncertain. many times gamers take curves and regulate them to there liking. And that varies from participant to participant. yet back to Burns, I relatively have a used a follow his curve and it replaced into insane, so slick and suitable for passing if I bear in mind wisely. noticeably reccomend

Sticks aren't curved...the blades are.
But I would say Sergei Federov has to be up there with the toe curve he has on his blade.

I know I'm straying but if you can get a hold of old hockey footage take a look at Bobby Hull's blade...it's shaped like a friggin 'U'

Jaromir Jagr has been caught using an illegal stick on a couple occasions.
