i hate it for a few reasons. one, the TYPE of mask. i hate tornado masks. second, while i can appreciate the simplicity of it, i think they could have done more with it, while retaining that same feel.

what do you guys think?

I don't like the satin finish, but I love the concept.

I think the matte finish looks cool and more goalies should just do a solid color one game. That would make for an interesting game not seeing the flashy colors and pictures on goalie's masks.

You really think that the graphics on goalies masks are a distraction to the game? You don't even notice what's on their mask unless they are showing a close up of the goalie after he makes a save or gets scored on.

He never called goalie masks a distraction, he merely thought two blank masks would be cool to see.

Pretty much, just a solid team color.

I think it would be neat is all. One game a season or something bring out a solid color mask.

I still love the creativeness in goalie masks and wouldn't want to see all them disappear, just once I'd like to see a solid color goalie mask used in a game.

Probably not really.

I just think that flat black looks badass is all.

It makes me want to lick the mask for some reason.

For the right price, I'm sure you could get any sized "D" you want on your forehead ;)

I'm not a huge fan of it. It was cool with cars for about 5 minutes, then after seeing it all the time it got old.
