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.

Tomas Vokoun 2010-11 Mask
Tomas Vokoun of the Florida Panthers (born July 2, 1976 in Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic.)
The mask here at the top is one he began wearing in December 2010. The mask toward the bottom is his first mask of the season.
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.
