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.

Jimmy Howard 2012-13 Mask
Jimmy Howard of the Detroit Red Wings (born March 26, 1984 in Syracuse, NY.) Artist: Ray Bishop Howard seems to be wearing the same mask as last season, which you can read about here.
Thanks to a reader, I did find out that Howard's backplate is different this season. Here it is:
I actually noticed that last night too! I'm going to try to find a photo of it. I have lots of trouble finding photos of their backplates, but I'm going to try. Thanks for letting me know!
Only noticed it in the game last night, but Howard's got a different back plate on this season. The mask's the same, though.
