Stupid Canadians. This is one of the only reasons I was even interested in the NHL this year.I still say it's a pretty sweet helmet and think that goalie masks are one of the coolest elements in all of sport.
Head down to your local sports card shop and chances are they still have masks from years ago with Ron Hextall, Andy Moog and Patrick Roy's designs on display.
While I can see a problem with Iron Mike (especially with the front office being the ones who have to deal with the phone calls, I'll miss seeing him on the mask. This is so ridiculously brilliant that I hope it'll spur a renaissance in mask painting. Really, haven't we seen enough bear heads, demons and variations on team logos? At the least, can we get a Leon Spinks mask next?
According to Canada.com,
"While Ray Emery had an excellent 6-0 start to his season, he has lost his past three starts, allowing 17 goals on 62 shots. He now has just two wins in his past seven games," so this may be a moot point as Emery fades into Bolivian.
