I'll say this, this mask sure seems different than the ones he's had in the past.

Very cool article. It is good to see mask painting has not gone up with inflation. I think I paid about $500 for my last one back in 1992.
For anyone who loves looking at goalie masks, check out this site. It will be well worth it!

Very interesting article.
I'm glad this form of expression came back when the birdcages started to disappear. There were some great designs worn by NHL goalies in the 1970s ... Gerry Cheevers' stitch design, Gary Simmons' cobra, Gilles Meloche's Cleveland Barons design, Mike Palmateer's Maple Leaf design and one of the greatest masks ever, Gilles Gratton's lion.

Jeff, check out the link I posted above. Most of those masks are shown.
Thanks for the Mike Palmateer reference! The most acrobatic goalie of all time.

My favorite NHL mask was Beezer's mask while playing for the Florida Panthers. It was awesome!
