You know, it's hard to imagine the guys of today playing without a mask, it would be lunacy. Not to mention how cool and unique they can be made to look, as evidenced by some of the pictures in this thread.

I never understood how they played without masks until I read that they only took wrist shots back in the day

Interesting. I thought the anniversary was Thursday.

Gerbers Darth Vader mask and the Denis Lemieux tribute mask (can't remember who) were faves.

Slap shots & synthetic sticks = suicide if you play without a mask.

This is a mask I don't want to see again for a long time.

Hannibal Lecter invented the mask?

Clint doesn't count because he only wore it for five games. However, he did pioneer the act of dropping to the ice to stop pucks.

Elvis Da King: Gerry Cheevers tribute?

Yup. That's why I called it the meta mask.

Almost makes me want to watch hockey.
