10 Best Masks of the Year: 3

Ah fire and ice, blue and red. Even though it's technically orange oil, you get the idea. Who would have thought to put ice on a Oilers mask? Come to think of it, why name a team that plays on ice Oilers in the first place? Anywho, awesome mask. The one downside: the RBK logo. But, what can ya do?

Masks are now old news*. The newest goaltender equipment/art statement is the stick. Two NHL goalies have seen using sticks with some sort of design on it. Chris Mason went with his number (50) and his teams logo, while Patrick Lalime of the Sens took it another route with Marvin the Martian, the same lovable alien that is on his mask. What they might be using is a product called Blade Tape (official site)
I think this a great way to extend the art on the mask, to the stick, as long as it doesn't get carried away, like putting stuff on the pads.

Notes:
Tobias Stephan seems to prefer Marty Turco's white mask, since he himself has one.
Jose Theodore switched teams, but hasn't gotten around to changing his mask.
Mathieu Garon has a incredible mask to go along with the Oilers new 3rd Jersey/throwback, I believe it is modeled after Grant Fuhr's
