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.

Jonathan Quick 2010-11 Mask
Jonathan Quick of the Los Angeles Kings (born Jan. 21, 1986 in Milford, CT.)
This is Quick's non-retro mask. You can see his retro anniversary mask here.
Great helmet looking mask. I like when the mask matches every jersey worn. And he has to have the best last name in the league right now - unless Tuukka means "lightning legs" in Finnish...
