Tom Barrasso wore a great mask, one time, last season. He unveiled it
at a game in Boston.
It was all black, with Pgh city scenes on it. The "Golden Triangle"
(Pgh's downtown area where the 3 rivers meet) graced the top, along
with a steel mill on one side and the Civic Arena (I think) on the
other. On the back of the helmet was the old Pens' logo (the really
fat little penguin with the blue scarf) the current (at the time) Pens
logo, and a space for the "new" (now current) logo.
Tommy had designed the mask, and his mother (an artist) painted it
for him.
But while wearing the mask, the Pens got thumped by the Bruins. The
very next game, Tommy was back to the old paint job. A great mask
done in by a goalie's superstition.
