If those men were playing in today's game with increased speed and size they'd be strapping on those helmets faster than you can turn Frazen into a girls name.

Besides, there were undoubtedly what you refer to as "sissies" then too, we just don't know everything about every player 50 years ago.

If in 10 years time all the players are wearing some new technology that gives them even better protection that hasn't been invented yet, would that make all current players men and all future players sissies?

Back to the design...

I like the gold, in there, I bet the cage would have looked good in gold too maybe a bit distracting though I dont know been a long long time since I put a mask on.

The fact that to some people "progress" and "knowledge of the effects of head trauma" = being a giant ***** and somehow less of a "man" never ceases to amaze me.

Hey, maybe we should stop being such ******* and throw out all of our advancements in Cancer treatment too. Let people die like Real Men .

Understanding how trauma affects the body is a GOOD THING. Using that knowledge to develop things to mitigate that harm is even better. It has nothing to do with toughness or lack there of.

And it gives us bitchin' buckets to look at. Like the one this thread is about.

That... Is... AWESOME...

I actually liked Osgood and Hasek's masks, because they were so simple. Sometimes, the simpler and plainer a design is, the more power it has. How many Osgood like masks will we see again?

None. The company doesn't make them anymore. Haven't since Ozzie was still playing, IIRC.

None, because I've read Osgood's helmet would not meet the modern safety requirements of the league.

Hasek's mask was always ugly.

As I recall, Ozzie had to get ahold of someone on the Blues and have them send some he had left there so that he could finish his career with the bucket.

I like Monster's new mask.

I love it, the cryptids on there like Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster are a nice touch. I think it's cool how the white areas look like a pencil sketch, along with his number on the front part of it.

All it's missing is a big almond-eyed alien and a UFO or two. I know they aren't technically "monsters" but a weirdo can dream. :alien1:
