It took a while, but it grew on me. 98% of people claim to have "brought sexy back." Well, I'm the 2% that never left.Hometown HeroesDallas Stars- Brenden Morrow // Marty Turco // Loui ErikksonDallas Mavericks- Dirk Nowitzki // Jason Kidd // Jason TerryDallas Cowboys- Terrell Owens // DeMarcus Ware // Terence Newman // Felix JonesTexas Rangers- Ian Kinsler // Elvis Andrus // Marlon Byrd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelayedPenalty Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I'd like to start a WTF?! category; Andrew Raycroft (what is it?), Joey MacDonald (did he paint it himself?), Craig Anderson (if the panther is driving the car, shouldn't his head and body be facing the way the car is going? and why is there a car on it anyways?)Personal favs; Vesa Toskala, Michal Tellqvist (a classic tribute to the Jets), Rick DiPietro, and of course CUJO!

Brass Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Some of these have work on them that has been done by CCSLC members, such as Brian Boucher's and Patrick Lalime's.

roxfan00 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Jose Theodore looked like he just slapped a Capitals sticker on the Avalanche foot. "Mr. President, call in the National Guard!

MVP Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 When Theodore was traded to the Avalanche, I remember for the longest time he simply slapped the Avs' footprint logo to cover the Habs logo. Looks like he's done the same here.Tellqvist's masks have always been nice, even when he was in Toronto.And kudos to Boucher and Lalime to choose great artwork from CCLSC (do they have permission though?).And whatever the heck Andrew Raycroft is wearing, it looks crap.

MetropolisPt31 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I'm an avid hockey fan and a goaltender and have paid attention to goalie mask designs for years. As a whole, I think the current NHL masks are terrible. While most are painted by very talented painters, they're usually filled with too much detail and intricacies that don't show up well from a distance. On the other hand, some look like they were painted by someone who airbrushes white t-shirts at the local flea market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top Shelf Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 And kudos to Boucher and Lalime to choose great artwork from CCLSC (do they have permission though?)Speaking of Lalime...It looks like the image of the shoulder logo on his mask is the old goathead version, not the current, curvier, slug version. Compare it with the shoulder logo on his jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJBerthiaume Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Ty Conklin's was awesome as well as both of the Senators goalies'. Great find this was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
