kupuck19 Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 My two favorites are Luongo and Gigure. Luongo's mask is sick, I'd have to put it at #1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedWingDevil Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Nothing says 'I have a happy life' like Martin Brodeur's mask. I like it, personally. Khabibulin's mask is a nice tribute to Grant Fuhr and Rinne's mask is really slick. If we go by legendary masks, few can compare to Ed Belfour's Eagle mask, Andy Moog's Bruin and Mike Richter's Rangers mask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smozoma Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 I find masks these days are too complicated. Brodeur's is one of the few that has that mid-90's instant-recognizability-from-200-feet (and not coincidentally, that's when it was designed.. same guy as Potvin's, I think).

RedWingDevil Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Well, Osgood still uses an old-school mask, so you may have looked at it already. These shots deserve be good mug shots for the goalies for future roms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clockwise Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Love the old masks. Not a fan of the new cage styles. Plante's is a great one because of how grisly it looks. Just the style of it looks macabre in the black and white footage, like the person behind it has some gruesome ass facial features of someone who head butted a land mine. Here's my top 10: Plante: Cheevers: Gratton: Bannerman: Bromley: Dryden: Stephenson: Sawchuk: Stephenson Bouchard Images courtesy of hockeymasks.com (no I didn't hot link), you can purchase these reproductions for a nice chunk of change. Most of them go for around $400 and you can select a weathered or high gloss finish too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 I find masks these days are too complicated.

Sometimes simple is better, and most of these masks you can't tell what's going on unless you could sit and look at them from all angles. Some guys have good ideas on the mask, but typically too busy. One of the few current masks I like is Toskala's: Toskala's Mask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceStorm70 Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Eddies original 90-91 mask and Cujo's blues mask are hard ones to top imo. The one I'm most tired of is lalimes martian eyes mask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
