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.

Antero Nittymaki 2010-11 Mask

The "gangster" is because of his nickname, "Nitty", which was also the nickname of one of Al Capone's henchmen, Frank Nitti. Hence the gangster.
