Who Has The Best Goalie Mask In the NHL?

[Michael Griffiths]

Last year, Johan Hedberg, then of Pittsburgh, was voted to have the best mask in the NHL. This year he's playing for Vancouver, and I think his new mask is even better. Anyone agree?

Feel free to post any masks you think are candidates for the title of "best mask".

Holy shit that mask rules.............

 

[Michael Griffiths]

Hi Angel! How are you, and how's Montreal?

Yeah, I really like that mask. I think Hedberg might just steal the starting position from Cloutier with a mask like that, lol. Jose Theodre has a cool mask, right?

 

[Chizip]

i like the older verion better

 

[Michael Griffiths]

Well, aren't you the Chiz-nit.

I'm sure they both like the older Chiz better, too.

But seriously, I like the Moose antlers on the older version more. The colour suites them better. The Penguin is pretty cool, too. The new one looks too corporate or something...but I think the colour scheme is much better.

 

[Pinball Wizard]

There can be only one.

Don't dispute it.

woow. cooool.

note the use of extra o's?

 

[Chizip]

yeah its great, for looney toons maybe

 

[Michael Griffiths]

Yes, and I would expect nothing less. The mask is awe inspiring, after all.

 

[Pinball Wizard]

ahem...

I would have to concur with Wizard. Joseph's mask is one of the coolest.

I seem to remember Nabokov's being pretty cool, does anyone have a photo of it?

 

[Edgeman]

where do we find pics of other goalie masks?

 

[Michael Griffiths]

I don't know, but start with google and altavista.

Here's a couple I found of Cujo's mask, though one might be older...I'm not sure:

[Michael Griffiths]

Fuhr's early 80s mask was kind of cool, in an odd kind of way (made him look like a killer hamster or something):

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

you love me.

 

[Pinball Wizard]

I love you headache.
