MTH Posted December 20, 2018 Author Share Posted December 20, 2018 One of my favorite things to see in the NHL is the odd and rare situations where a goalie joins a new team but is still wearing his old team's gear. We all know NHL goalies go through equipment now faster than ever, so this situation is becoming less and less prevalent.One of the first big name goalies who joined a new team and continued wearing his old team's colored gear was Kelly Hrudey. When he left the Islanders, there weren't many goalies wearing team colored gear yet. So to see his Islanders gear with the Kings was neat - note the Islanders pants peeking out from under the kings shells too:The goalie who wore the most of his old team's gear with his new team had to be Osgood when he joined the Islanders. Guy wore his red helmet and even Red Wings pants with the Islanders jersey:Most recent is Turco:Some other memorables: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTH Posted December 20, 2018 Author Share Posted December 20, 2018 Quote [MrMikeEMike - Didn't the league finally tell Ozzie that he couldn't wear that gear anymore with the Isles? I seem to remember a story about that, he kept stalling saying he was breaking in new gear, but wasn't comfortable wearing it in a game, and the league finally told him he had no choice. Yeah, that's the story.Hard to find enough navy blue nylon to make his new shells. What were they? Sumo size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTH Posted December 20, 2018 Author Share Posted December 20, 2018 (edited) Quote RFroese (Bob Froese's Son) - Here's my dad wearing his Flyers pads died to Rangers colours. Quote BromleyHockey - I always liked that CCM set Froese wore with the Flyers in the mid 80s cool color scheme.Later in the early 90s I had a custom set of Brian's leg pads made to look like the ones he wore.Mainly black,with orange knee rolls and white leg straps.Loved those pads.As a die hard Flyers fan I hated seeing him wearing the Rangers jersey.He made quite an impact in his rookie season as I recall ,he won a ton of games when Lindbergh went down with an injury.

MTH Posted December 20, 2018 Author Share Posted December 20, 2018 Quote Jim Bob - Martin Biron's Beauport Harfangs gear was a pretty good match for the Sabres in 95-96 when he played in 3 games on emergency recall from the Q. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTH Posted December 20, 2018 Author Share Posted December 20, 2018 Quote Neums30 - Lindsay Middlebrook told me that when he got traded from the Devils to the Oilers, he had just broken in a new pair of red & green Cooper pads. So he puts them on the first time he practices in Edmonton and coach Glenn Sather takes one look at him and then yells to the trainer "Get this guy some F-ing pads!". Trainer gets on the phone to Cooper and in two days a new set of blue and orange pads arrives in Edmonton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTH Posted December 20, 2018 Author Share Posted December 20, 2018 Not too contrasting, but Felix Potvin wearing his Leafs gear when he first joined the Islanders and wore #55: Dafoe with the Trashers has some generic colored gear. I know he came there after playing for the Bruins, so the silver gear is kinda odd but he was unsigned before joining them: Huet when he was traded to the Caps from the Habs.

MTH Posted December 20, 2018 Author Share Posted December 20, 2018 How many goalies the Islanders trade for is amazing. Poor Chris Terreri finished here too. Went back to the Devils that year and ended it with the Isles while the Devils were in the finals with Beezer on the bench.At least they lost.

So I guess they wanted to show that he was now with the Flyers. Topps cards airbrush jobs are still worse/better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
