Hopefully the beautiful mask is intact under it. the flowers were on the mask he had a tribal artist do The fact that they re-paint masks still is dumb. He has been on the bubble all year. Just have a blank one ready to go. It's not the 90s where goalies would get their masks repainted every year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedX Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 The Canes are wearing black pants for the first time with their white uniforms in team history? (I’ll note that the one piece True skate has really re-emerged in the NHL this year after a year or 2 of guys switching to the 2 piece). Also let’s take a look at Freddy’s True One Piece skates, having the the lower part painted white. This provides more evidence in my ‘Freddy Anderson is a Carey Price fan-boy theory.” Since leaving as the face of Bauer Freddy has more or less copied every piece of Price’s wardrobe. Price in Lefebvre with leather straps and Cowling skates in 2020. Freddy switches to Lefevre with leather straps and cowlings. Price switches strapping so does Freddy. Is that a 590? Freddy is in a 590. Pro’s choice and Vaughn pants? You betcha. Price back to one piece skates? So is Freddy. Paint your cowlings white? So will I. They basically wear identical kits minus the sticks. We have a Jim Carrey Cable Guy level stalker here. “I just want to hang out, no big deal.” 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The neck guard is there mostly to protect against skate cuts. The neck guard has some protective value, but ultimately it's the dangler that stops shots from reaching the neck in the first place. I've watched Trav, and he explains why he doesn't wear a neck guard. He overheated when he wore one, so he wears the dangler instead. So it is possible to wear one or the other, but both is the safest solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Teal Terror Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 When I got my own mask, I took a shot to the collar bone. Hate collars as they feel chokey for me personally. Instantly invested in a dangler! And those Wedgewood pads are wicked. I hope he keeps the mask a black base as is, compliments the setup nicely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it is possible to wear one or the other, but both is the safest solution. I personally ditched the dangler a few years ago because it was so loud and obstructed my downwards view. I know there are ways to make it quieter but I haven’t really gone back. On my roughneck I ordered a 2 inch height on the throat area and it hasn’t been giving me any issues. One time when I had just a dangler I got hit in the high sternum and said that was enough lol I also don’t really overheat as much as I sweat, and I don’t really take advice from trav in the first place but it’s a valid reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTH Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 I recall buying a D&R throat guard as a kid because Grant Fuhr wore it. It sucked. But Fuhr wore it - so I did too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shots HURT in that old player gear, and I can’t imagine how hot, heavy, yet utterly unprotective goalie gear was in those days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raidersgoalie Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Just looking at grants helmet. Look how close his forehead is to the opening in the vents of the helmet. almost no padding to protect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilyazhito Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Wow! That must have been really dangerous! Thank goodness that Harrison and Wright improved the mask designs in the 1990s. It's awesome that even this early Grant Fuhr was wearing throat protection. Maybe he saw what happened to Steve Yeager and didn't want that to happen to him.

MTH Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Grant went from the full fiberglass mask to the Harrison mask. So any padding was an improvement. He also got hit in the throat somewhat often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, sweet summer child Price's neckguard does not cover his throat. It's a Vaughn model that is not rated for cut resistance. It's there to cover his collarbone because the CCM model these guys wear rides really low. The majority of guys who wear neck protection are wearing something like this. Fleury's a bit of an odd bird, his neck guard was BNQ rated at one point, but it's not gonna do anything for him the way he wears it today. The catalog I pulled this out of was from 2004, so who knows how ratty and beat up it is 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
