Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted October 24, 2009 Let's go guys-- tell me who has the worstest mask in the whole universe. Hand-painted minor league masks by children are eligible. I remember at one point that my brother asked me to airbrush his mask when we were kids just because I enjoyed painting toy soldiers (and still do-- 'cause I'm a NERD)... the problem? I'd never airbrushed anything before. We killed that little project at the design stage. We'll have a NHL category (prospects will count here too) and a minor category that lets us sneak some really goofy stuff in... like the next mask I found on a blog post about bad masks: WTF? Really? Politicians on your goalie mask? Unless that's Palin's daughter's mask it's just stupid. That is an excellent airbrush job by the artist, though, just a silly concept. And here's the scariest thing I found searching google images: Oh, and this one makes baby Jebus cry: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MabusIncarnate 5,343 Report post Posted October 24, 2009 Obviously the third one is Vampire Gandolf, which makes perfect sense. Geez. The first one above is definitely the worst, others around the league that I just flat out don't like are Ray Emery's mask that displays a boxer, and Khabibulin's mask featuring two regurgitating pelicans and a clock tower. Giguere's Terminator Duck is just dumb also. Osgood's mask sucks too. He could at least scribble on it with whiteout or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NGKEIB 32 Report post Posted October 24, 2009 I think that Emery's mask is cool - and I think that the league should have gotten off of his back about having Iron Mike on there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
e_prime 1,936 Report post Posted October 24, 2009 Obviously the third one is Vampire Gandolf, which makes perfect sense. Geez. I thought the third one was David Lo Pan from Big Trouble in Little China or something... which would be equally mind boggling. Actually, that would be a pretty sweet mask. Lo Pan with his minions... or just this guy: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MabusIncarnate 5,343 Report post Posted October 24, 2009 Think I read somewhere that his Saw mask was part of a promotion and he was paid to wear it. I wouldn't be surprised to see more advertising in goalie masks in the future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Krayzie_Bone 58 Report post Posted October 24, 2009 Carey price's was stupid with the country music people on it and Luongo's looks really stupid to me. The color mostly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Motown4013 350 Report post Posted October 24, 2009 I agree with Osgood's mask being the worst. Its actually terrible and I cant stand that he still wears the circa 1980's cage. Johnson's mask as the backup in Pitt is also pretty bad. I mean, I love Zeppelin as much as the next classic rock fan but its a bit over the top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted October 26, 2009 Also, who the hell would get Sarah Palin painted on their cage?? (And I'm not even talking anything remotely political, more about relevance to anything) If I had to guess I'd say it's some sort of political fundraiser or centerpiece of some sort and not an item designed to be worn on the ice. Unless the GOP have a shinny league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hockeytown0001 7,652 Report post Posted October 26, 2009 (edited) Also, who the hell would get Sarah Palin painted on their cage?? (And I'm not even talking anything remotely political, more about relevance to anything) Probably had more to do with the whole "hockey mom" theme than anything. On Ersberg's LA mask, I just didn't like that the mask was completely covered with film, looked kinda goofy to me. Here's my new candidate for worst mask - Hedberg's mask shape and cage are just painful to look at, not to mention the "Indiana Moose" at the bottom. I know his nickname has always been the Moose, but that's a little silly IMO. Edited October 26, 2009 by Hockeytown0001 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
