from Kevin Allen of USA TODAY,
In an era of pro leagues seemingly trying to curtail individualism through rules about what can’t be worn or done on the field, the NHL celebrates, even promotes, the goalie’s right to turn essential equipment into works of art.

some buddies and i were talking about this the other day while watching hockey night in canada. now every goalie has a flashy, detailed painted mask. which is why we all agreed, the coolest mask in the league belongs to martin gerber because his is the most unique of all, all black.
