TheWall0211 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 I’m thinking of getting a tribute mask for fallen goalies. Can you help me come up with some goalies who died too young? Here’s what I’ve got so far: Pelle Lindbergh (Flyers) Stefan Liv (Lokomotiv) Parker Tobin (Humboldt Broncos) Roy Pejcinovski (Don Mills Flyers) Who am I missing?

bunnyman666 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Michael Plasse, though much older than any of them, did not die at a ripe, old age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Pucker Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Not sure how far back you want to go, but Georges Vézina died of TB at 39. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But was the FIRST professional goalie to score a goal! I think yours is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Pucker Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 You could probably include Sawchuk; he died at 40, and would likely have played the following season. Many people's choice for the all-time best, and/or all-time favourite (certainly in my top 3), but he had such a tragic and sad life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnyman666 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 The mask could be the hockey version of the Jim Carrol band song “people who have died”. Okay- that was in bad taste, even for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWall0211 Posted May 13, 2019 Author Share Posted May 13, 2019 I’d like to keep it a bit modern since I’m pretty young. Even Pelle died way before I was born. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pelle was iconic, but if you want to keep it relevant to your age, I would keep him out of it. Reach too far and too wide, it may well turn maudlin and macabre and lose the meaning of a tribute. This is just my opinion. Is it a tribute to the fallen as the theme or are you honouring a few recently fallen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naz Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 I know you want to keep it a bit modern... but you really should include one of the greatest of all time, Terry Sawchuk who was only 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries dude; we gotta edjumucate the young ‘uns about the most important goalies of all time - even if it means repeating! But alas, I think we’ve lost in our bid to get him included on this young person’s mask. More’s the pity! With that retro gear this kid ordered, a Sawchuk tribute mask would be sweet!
