Hail2theVctrz Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Curious---what are some of your favorite goalie masks in hockey?Mine include...Nikolai Khabibulin*http://www.sptimes.com/2003/04/10/photos/lite-mask.jpg*Nikolai now plays for Chicago, but the design of his mask is similar, just in red. I like the "Bulin wall"Manny Legacehttp://homepages.uni-tuebingen.de/martin.d...lies/legace.jpgSlightly biased, but you have to agree, this mask is sweet. Very creative with the octopus holding the pennants of Detroit's retired numbers. I also like the "United we Stand" with the Canadian and American flags.Al Montoyahttp://onthewings.blogspot.com/uploaded_im...toya-775388.jpghttp://www.usahockeymagazine.com/articles/...dshot_close.jpgAgain slightly biased, but that is sweet how he turned the traditional winged helmet (worn by every Michigan goalie) into a wolverine face.Curtis Josephhttp://www.123celebs.net/c/curtis-joseph/curtis-joseph.jpgCUrtis JOseph...CUJO....Stephen King...evil dog.Your pics? -Rob Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neon_Matrix Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 I'm too lazy to find pics, but Brodeur has to have thee NICEST mask out there. Its so simplistic it is great. Its what a goalie mask should be, its simple, easy to see from even the nose bleeds, and you dont need a close up or an explanation to know what it is or means. Next I have to saw is Belfour, same formula as Brodeur. Following Belfour, Alex Auld has my vote. That open mouth whale is just so awsome looking. After Auld... I'd say that new guy in Edmonton...I cant remember his name, but I can remember his mask. Hes the call up for Conklin, and his mask is just so awesome looking. Then of course you have Cujo, Turco, Theodore, and even Tellqvist. Because Korbyn Is Colour Blind, My Signature Is Now Idiot Proof - Thanks Again Braden!!Go Leafs Go!

Shumway Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 I really like Marty Turco's mask. I'm not really biased, but I do really like Manny Legace's mask. It's probably my personaly favorite, although Turco's may be just overall cooler looking. Ironically, the same company, Bisop Designs, designed both of their masks. I really want to learn to do air brushing and make my own goalie mask. An Alf goalie mask would be the greatest thing ever.Neon_Matrix- do you mean Markannen or whatever, the guy who is on Edmonton?

winghaz Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 My favorite goes back to Gerry Cheevers in the 1960s, when he put stitches marks on his facemask where he would have had to had stitches if he didn't wear a mask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sideshowbob Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Being a goalie myself, I like pretty much every mask. I really like Johan Hedberg's moose line, I like khabi's mask, cujo, roli's are cool, Lalime's, and one of my favorites is Kolzig's and Giguere's when they went to the stanley cup.

Suigi Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 I'm sorta fond of Steve Shields' mask, paying homage to Cheevers.BTW, GoaliesArchive.com is a great resource for these pics.EDIT: Lalime's keeping Marvin the Martian? That makes me laugh a little.

boardname Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Someone beat me to it, but I don't care - I'll say it again. Felix Potvin's was the best mask ever - so, so cool. His whole mask/pads look was one of the big things that attracted me to hockey in the early 90s.Then when he moved to the Bruins last year he got it painted yellow and it STILL looked awesome.

MisterE Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Ex-Blues goalie Brent Johnson:http://www.goaliesarchive.com/blues/johnson.htmlHe also had a similar one with the St.Louis skyline.Peoria's own Curtis Sanford:http://www.goaliesarchive.com/blues/sanford.htmlIn 02 he was called up from Peoria and had a 17 game shutout streak until the starter got back from the DL and Sanford was sent down again.

coggs Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Richter's Statue of Liberty mask, even went with his Team USA jerseys. Also loved Vanbiesbrouck's when he played for the Rangers. He had the ciity skyline going across the front, similar to the Mets logo, and bees in the back. If I can find pictures, I'll post them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomhunter8 Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Jacques Caron's mask makes it look like one of those creatures in Alien attached itself to his face.
