Eye/Vision problems have led to difficulties with computer work (please comment with what goalie/team you'd like me to start with)

 I'm so sorry I've not posted any pictures (other than Hellebuyck) this season. In the past few months I've developed eye/vision problems in both eyes. First it was a retinal tear in my left eye that required multiple (painful!) procedures. It seems ok now. But more recently I've developed myopic macular degeneration (MMD) with choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in my right eye. It's caused the vision in that eye to be blurry and distorted. I finally started treatments (shots in the eye) this week, so hopefully in a couple of weeks the vision will start clearing up. 

It all has caused computer work to be difficult. I still have to work, so I have to limit the "for fun" computer work I've done in the past.

But again, I had my first shot this week, and I'll have another in 4 weeks. And the doctor said my vision should start to clear in a couple of weeks.

So please leave a comment if you have a particular goalie or team you'd like me to post first, and I will certainly do that when I'm able.

My sincere apologies,

Carol

Jaroslav Halak is the only goalie in my header who is still in the NHL.

I made the header image up there 11 years ago when I started this blog. At the time it was right after the 2010 Olympics, and that's why Halak's mask is his Olympic mask from that year.

Everyone but Halak has retired: José Theodore, Henrik Lundqvist, Ryan Miller, and Evgeni Nabokov.

I realize this blog is disappointing now, as far as current information. I do try to get as many masks as I can up each season, but time always gets away from me anymore. Too many other things going on. But if nothing else, it's a good archive of masks from 2010 until around 2016. My dad passed away that year, and everything got more difficult. I guess I haven't fully recovered here yet. Plus it seems like teams were using more goalies, and when a lot of them had multiple masks per year, it got really hard.

Enjoy the old posts though, and I'll still try to get some new ones up now and then. If there is anyone you would specifically like to see that I missed, let me know.

Thanks for stopping by,

Carol

Happy retirement, Henrik!

 Henrik Lundqvist announced him retirement today.

Philipp Grubauer 2020-21 Mask

 Philipp Grubauer of the Colorado Avalanche (born November 25, 1991 in Rosenheim, Germany.)

Artist: David Gunnarsson

Grubauer wore multiple masks this season. This is the first I saw:

This is the mask he wore with their reverse retro jerseys (going with the Quebec Nordiques logo.)

David Gunnarsson also listed this mask for this season, but I haven't found any game photos where he's wearing it.

He had a Hockey Fights Cancer mask he wore one game in March.

David also posted this mask art, but I didn't see any game photos with it either.
