dat's sick 1,002 Report post Posted October 21, 2009 I gotta say Brodeur's is in a class of it's own out of those masks. Simple, elegant, goes perfectly with the team colors. Luongo's is also kinda cool. And I agree with whoever said Lundqvist has a nice mask. Don't know why they went with Valiquette instead, who has one of the worst in the league. Howard's is pretty nice too. Just hope we don't see too much of it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevkrause 1,247 Report post Posted October 21, 2009 I like Turco's and Smith's the most out of the new ones - good design, well put together... I still think Steve Shield's throw back tribute was the best... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cern 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2009 (edited) Almost all of them are really overbusy IMO. I'm no goalie but if I was I'd want something seriously old-school with simple bold colours. I see something like Grant Fuhr's mask or Brodeur's before he changed it a season or so ago being an ideal model in that regard, something with the team's colours but not oversaturated with stuff like my favourite food or brand of toilet paper slapped onto the sides of it.

Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted October 24, 2009 What, no Kari Lehtonen?! I am outraged. OUTRAGED! Yeah, must be because it's such a horrifyingly badly directed movie. God I hate the terrible s*** Bay pinches out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, but if they had an MST3K themed mask you'd eat that right up. (I would) Hell, I'd settle for an Aqua Teen Hunger Force mask! Maybe one done up like Carl's car with Carl on one side and Shake holding the keys on the other? Edited October 24, 2009 by Drake_Marcus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sureWhyNot 19 Report post Posted October 24, 2009 Definitely some cool ones so far. Here are some of my favorite of all time (past and present). 1) Even though he is really, really bad - I love Vesa Toskala's mask: 2) Again, not the best tender, but Garth Snow's TEAM USA mask always stuck out to me as pretty cool: 3) Mike Richter's cage. Classic: 4) Mike Vernon's Detroit mask - simple and clean: 5) Kinda a weird pick, but I loved Joseph's when he was here in Detroit: 6) Going back a bit - Gary Bromley's bucket looks cool as hell: 7) What's a "great goalie mask" thread without a Johhny Bower "Bay Window" mask mention: 8) All time winner - blowing away all competition -- The Thunder Bay Bombers net-minder: 9) Last but not least is a guy not yet in the NHL, but will look clean as hell when he is -- our own Thomas McCollum: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Free_Candy 38 Report post Posted October 24, 2009 (edited) There is a mask I've seen MAF wear that I'm quite impressed with, it's not one he wears all the time or it may have just been that once, gonna see if i can find a pic of it. Found it, it's a really s***ty couple pics but all i could find atm. MAF Mask I like the simplicity of the mask. Number on one side, team logo on the other. This mask is deadly simple, but I like it. You won't find too many pics of it because he got injured the first game he wore it, he hasn't worn it since and probably won't wear it ever again! Toskala's mask is probably my favorite, though the old school masks will always be the best in the creepy department.

BeeRYCE 2 Report post Posted October 24, 2009 I'm surprised nobody mentioned John Vanbiesbrouk's mask hasn't got a mention in this thread (or at least what I see). So many people thought it looked so badass in Florida... I honestly think I'm the only one who thought it was ugly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Theophany 110 Report post Posted October 24, 2009 Howard and Quick have the best, IMO. Howard because it's all Detroit (Mustangs, tachometer with retired numbers, gothic D on the front), and Quick because it's simple, related to the feudal concept of his team, and just all-around badass looking.
