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.

I'm still here!
Not much going on with goalie masks, since the NHL season is on hold.
I have a list of the NHL goalies who are playing overseas right now, so I'm going to make some posts soon about them with some photos I've found.
And let's keep our fingers crossed this lockout ends SOON!
So, more soon! (Maybe tonight if I have time...)
