2008-09 Pre-Season Notes


Quick Notes from the little hockey played so far.

Toronto goalie Curtis Joseph had "Leaf Fans" on his nameplate...A couple masks I hadn't seen before of Olie Kolzig, Matt Zaba, the always awesome Alex Auld, Jeff Zactkoff, and a blank for Jonathan Quick...

One of the coolest contests in recent memory took place over the summer. Canuck, Curtis Sanford, who as you may remember, had the goofy "old man" mask, asked for submissions for a new mask design. Over 300 submissions later, Sanford has a new mask. Here is the winning design, and here is the finished, painted, mask. You can see most of the submitted masks here. I recommend you do, there are several excellent ones, and even more laughable ones.

10 Best Masks of the Year: 5

5. Marty Turco

Yes, the dragon is a little corny. And yes, the black version is much more popular. But there is something about the white. Perhaps it brings back the plain white days of earlier.

10 Best Masks of the Year: 6


6. Jose Theodore

Gargoyles are cool, but the little things make this mask awesome. There's the icicles hanging from the protectors of the castle, his number subtly on display (LX= 60 in Roman numerals), and of course the Bigfoot logo. All in all a above average mask, and I must say, looks even better with the jersey.

10 Best Masks of the Year: 7


7. Alex Auld

Even though it may seem like there's alot going on, all this mask has is the two logos, stripes, and some letters (BB for Boston Bruins, and AA for Alex Auld) on the side. Of course it is a close match of former Bruin goaltender Andy Moog.
The lack of any dragons, fire, or baby pictures, is the reason it made the top 10.
