From the Goalie Guild: "Stalock got a win in his 1st NHL start wearing a nice new mask. Similar to his old ones, a huge jumping Sharks logo, sans stick, jumps over a sunset beach scene, where the chin is the ocean beneath it, teeming with life next to Stalock’s number 32. Unfortunately Stalock was injured shortly after his 1st win in the AHL after a freak incident where he was stepped on by a skate that caused nerve damage. Here’s to a speedy recovery Alex!"
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.

do you know who painted this mask?
ReplyDeleteLKJ, I actually don't know who painted this mask. I'll see if I can find out though. I'm trying to put the artist's name on each of the masks I post this season, but that information isn't always easily found for the lesser-known goalies.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading!
