MVP Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Yeah, the gold cage looks pretty nice.But how many sets of masks and pads has Rick DiPietro used in his career? It seems like he changes every couple of months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zig Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 This mask is nice but I don't like it nearly as much as I liked his last one. I also used to really like his old pads before he switched to white.It's a shame. Fleury, DiPi, and Brodeur had my favorite gear last year but only Brodeur's look remains unchanged. Fleury traded in the yellow pads (which I loved) for a plainer white. I blame that doctor that recommended Fleury's switch! He started this all!

habsfan1 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I'm not digging the two-face styled mask. The right side is a cludderfest of heads and a wordmark that reads POW MIK I believe, all randomly thrown in there. The other side looks a bit neater, more patriotic like his previous one.Overall: Huge Downgrade.D- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Man, I'm dissapointed. His old mask was my favorite in the NHL.Does anyone have any close ups of this mask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budbowl77 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I liked the old mask better..Maybe it's because I've seen it enough..I dunno.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmw_29 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Not sure why everyone likes the cage so much... the gold completely clashes with the Islanders color scheme. Chrome or copper colored would look much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capn89 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 The new mask design seems to scream "can't stop puck." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamikel Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 It's great that DiPietro is honoring our soldiers, but both his old and new mask are too cluttered. Although at least the old one is more focused. I'm not even sure what's on the left side of his new mask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although at least the old one is more focused. I'm not even sure what's on the left side of his new mask.My guess it's an orange and blue star but because of the lighting of the pic it looks green and gold and like the Stars logo.

AsM29 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I have never been a real fan of any of his masks... My favorites are Turco's white mask from last year, and Raycrofts leafs tribute mask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
