Mathradio Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Since we had to stay aside as we watched the Battle between the Pipes unfold, maybe we have come to appreciate the artwork on goalie masks better. What goalie masks seems to be the best? Maybe some of you would say Price's mask is among the best in the NHL while I, myself, I prefer the goalie mask Toskala wore when he still was a Leaf.

FirstStar Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 I always liked Pelle Lindburg's white mask... It was perfect the way it was, looked angry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FirstStar Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 There was a career cut way to short. Very sad... What a promising young goalie. Am waiting on his book... Ordered it from Amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29Dryden29 Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Very sad... What a promising young goalie. Am waiting on his book... Ordered it from Amazon. Should be a good read. It is sad I only seem to read hockey related books and books about the Donnelys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstStar Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Should be a good read. It is sad I only seem to read hockey related books and books about the Donnelys. I read a lot of hockey books and quite a few biographies... I guess you can call me a realist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should read some of the books about the Black Donnellys. http://www.donnellys.com/ Ok now back on topic for newer masks in the NHL I would have to say that I really liked was Jeff Hackettes.

Fanpuck33 Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 I always liked Yann Danis' mask while he was with our organization. The one with St. Joseph's Oratory on one side and the Montreal skyline on the other, and the flags of Quebec and Canada on the back. I also like the Brian Elliot mask, the one with Casey Jones from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddienmike Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 There is only one mask I want to see Whoever the HABS goalie might be When he is in his goal stopping every shot When you can see his hands are really hot I know that some of the others masks are fine But I only see them when the puck crosses that line So this season I should see a few more When our HABS shoot and score But I must say I like most of the mask But i think it was a good idea to ask GO HABS GO :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry-Launstein-Jr Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Here's my faves - the original masks, Clint Benedict of the Montreal Maroons of the 1920s, and Jacques Plante in the 1959-60 season. http://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,85...ml?xid=rss-arts Picture and story about Plante's mask http://www.vintagegoaliemasks.com/history.php Pictured at top is Bennedict's crude leather creation.
