I miss the old style goalie masks. Looking through my Hockey News issue that focused entirely on the masks brought back lots of childhood memories. There’s something magical about seeing a goalie playing with the old style masks... with the eye holes instead of a cage... the simple painted designs... the placement of air holes. The shape. Seeing Gerry Cheevers’ stitch mask... Roggie Vachon’s smiling mask... Ken Dryden’s red and blue bullseye mask. And the masks of Michelle Dion, Mike Palmateer, Tony Esposito, Gary Bromley, Murray Bannerman and Grant Fuhr. I wish a modern day goalie went back to those old masks.
More to write in eight days.
And now... bring on the masks...
