I am looking at picking up a new goalie mask for next season.. I have it narrowed down to five choices.. Check 'em out and tell me which one do you people like?

Oh Canada!

Golden sabretooth tiger

Golden splash .. How can you tell gold is one of my favorite colors?

Personal favorite.. It's the mask design that Dallas Stars goalie Marty Turco uses.. I can also have my nickname (the real one, not Liontamr of course) where the chin is.

Fittingly enough, this one is called "Lion" ... Another gold mask.

None of them really do anything for me...

I think Blue and White are the only true hockey colours.
 
Another vote for Golden Splash. The others look to busy to me.
 
Goalies should have plain helmets like players....there is no
"I" in Team.

And...If you left your mask white, it would stand out amongst all those pimped out custom jobs.

But there is in Winning! Two in fact. :)

Damn, gold splash is winning in a romp!
 
I like Turco's mask.

The Gold one is nice but it looks like it was on the receiving end of a money shot and there's no kleenex near-by.

ROFL .. that's damn close to what I said to one of my friends today:

"Dude, it looks cool and all but it also looks like King Midas gave me a facial.."

LOL
When I first saw it, it looked pretty cool. But on second glance all I could think of was a big facial bath.

... King Midas *snicker*

That's probably why we all picked it. What a bunch of low lifes!
 
Personally, I like the Turco one, but I also don't want to be a total copy cat...

One mask I really like is Steve Shield's Eddie Cheevers tribute mask:

It looks even cooler from the side!

That's more like it. I don't like the foo-foo ones. Too nancy.

I knew I shouldn't have picked a mask that looks like one big golden cum shot and asked people on a porn board to vote on it. :p

I'm surprised FondOfFacials hasn't given her opinion yet... :)

I had thought of getting a plain white mask as well and just painting the stiches on it every time a puck hit my mask, but it wouldn't quite be the same..

Plain white, chromed cage, let the puck marks be real.

Boring!

Besides, I play in a rec league.. it's not as if I'll get many pucks ringing off my grill.
 
If you are a netminder wear one of the old style plain masks......and dont cluck like a duck like Patrick Roy.

If you want to go with one of the new style masks, dont buy a scheme off the shelf....buy a plain white one and design your own deal and have it pro painted.

One of those masks?? I know my face isn't anything worth saving, but damn I do kinda like it without the prospect having to get surgery done!

It's kind of funny you mention that.. I don't bob my head like Roy does, but without even thinking - to make sure I am center to the net without looking - before every face off I:

- Tap the left goal post with the blade of my stick
- Tap the right goal post with the butt end of the stick
- Tap the left again
- Tap the right again
- Go into my 'position'
- Slap my glove hand and blocker hands together to make sure both are on my hands tight
- Tap the very top of my crease directly in front of me with the blade of my stick

And I do it all within seconds..

One of my teammates nicknamed me "Nomar" (Garciapara .. Red Sox shortstop, does a lengthy ritual before each swing) for a while because of it.

I'm not creative enough! lol

We haven't quite picked out a team name for next year, so I may wait and then have my mask done to fit the team name. I'm hoping we go with the name "Titans" because then I can use the Tennessee Titans sword logo as inspiration.
