Personally, my fave was the one Jason Labarbera wore when he was on the Hartford Wolfpack & New York Rangers...

Gonzo from the Muppets on the top (seeing his nickname is Gonzo :lol: )

Cover art from Metallica's St. Anger on the side (he's a pretty big Metallica fan..last year, I believe he added charactures of James, Kirk, Lars, and the new guy on the sides)

Felix Potvin's masks are my all-time favorites. It's a simple design that works extremely well. Too many goalie masks have too much detail and rarely does someone get close enough to properly appreciate it.

Generally, I prefer masks that keep the white around the face opening. It makes the mask look cleaner.

this is the greatest mask/pads/jersey combo ever.

The best helmet/pads combo ever was Trevor Kidd's combo when he was with the Hurricanes. He had the jester helmet with the chrome accents (already on this thread) with the checkerboard pads and blocker (based on the Hurricanes' warning flag striping on the jersey). Those were awesome.

In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17.

Can I be a little big of a weirdo here?

I honestly liked Kevin Weekes' outfit back with Tampa Bay.

Eyes on the goalie pads...classy.

I'm sorry but when a mask is so popular that the team figured out a way to keep it even when Brian Hayward retired...

Now, is that a cool salute to hockey art or what?

John Blue played for 3 seasons, mainly with Boston. His whole mask was a gorgeous deep blue. Nothing more. It looked great.

But yeah, Gratton's was the first "supermask" and still the best.

My favorites are Gratton's, Shield's "Cheevers" tribute and Richter's Liberty mask among the many great one's pictured on this thread.

Some other favorties not mentioned on this thread are Jamie McLennan's KISS masks.

Also, I really loved Tomas Vokoun's Czech Republic mask he wore in the 2004 World Cup with the heraldic lions taken from the coat of arms logo on his jersey.

Brian Hayward when he was with the Sharks, The Shark mouth with blood on the teeth.

Didn't see it above when I posted, I'm an idiot.

Puckguy and I each posted a photo of it. You missed it twice! Hehe. Just bustin' your chops.

I just had to give props to this kid. I don't know who he is, but as far as kids hockey masks go, I think he's got the best one!
