Funny you should mention this; one time on HNIC Don Cherry pointed out
Vanbiesbrouck's mask. He _hated_ it. I think he said something to the effect
of:
"You see? He was great last year; now he goes out and gets that dopey mask
and he can't stop a beachball!"
You may or may not take Cherry seriously at all, but I cracked up when I heard
it.
I think Ed Belfour has the current best mask in the NHL btw. I also like
Moog's, and I'll give Fuhr's new one an honourable mention, although I haven't
seen it closely yet (it looked good from a distance!). What's also neat is
Chevaldae's in Detroit; they call him "Chevy" so he has two checkered flags
painted at the top as in an auto race.
