The position of goalie has an inherent romanticism: masked men clad with cool armor, serving as the last line of defense. They play entire games, with an unparalleled ability to impact outcomes. When they're on, they can single-handedly defeat a giant foe. They are the consummate underdogs and towering superheroes all at once.
A nice mask... if you take the teams logo and bend it - stretch it - remake it's main themes ---- you get a really nice theme that the fans can enjoy. Not a personal statement but a team theme.
The first mask pictured here is different...notice the chin and the panther design on the side. Vokoun is using an old mask and a new one he received around December.
Thanks for pointing that out! I think that top one was the one I got from the Sports Illustrated spread, and the others I got at the beginning of the season. When I was trying to update everyone's mask, I didn't even notice the difference. I'll edit.
