MTH

I'm cool with banning all head contact in the NHL.

Technically speaking - a new Atlanta team could start next season there. There's nothing to wait for construction wise. Although, I presume the Thrashers training facility, offices, space in Phillips Arena have all been sold or leased to other operations a long time ago. It's not like their spaces are still vacant and waiting.

I agree. But- Atlanta is the largest US market without an NHL team. They have NHL quality arena and practice facilities already in place. Honestly, they're the perfect expansion spot - less the Trashers and Flames failures. lol.

Don't mess with Dave Dryden.

Marty Brodeur was unorthodox too by today's standard. I always thought of him a athletic. He looked the same from a youth until the end... Might be the last NHL goalie to have his pad face on the ice while making a save. Pads worn by goalies is an easy indicator of their style.

No idea what team or who this dude is - but a mask and a crappy Cooper SK100 helmet?

WHA is easy: Oilers: Dave Dryden Chicago Cougars: Dave Dryden (again) Cincinatti Stingers: Mike Liut Calgary Barons/ Cleveland Crusaders/ Minnesota Fighting Saints (part 2): Gerry Cheevers Denver Spurs/ Ottawa Civics: Jacques Caron Dayton Arrows/ Houston Aeros: Indy Racers: Andy Brown - Last goalie without a mask! LA Aces/LA Sharks/ Michigan Stags/ Balt. Blades: Jason Vorhees Whalers: Not sure of this dude. But the mask... Raiders/ Golden Blades/ Jersey Knights/ SD Mariners: Whoever the Jersey Knights goalie was. They played in Cherry Hill at a rink crappier than any rink out there today. No locker rooms, no showers, uphill ice.... legends. Miami/ Philly Blazers/ Vancouver/ Calgary Cowboys: Bernie Parent Phx Roadrunners: TBD SF Sharks/ Quebec Nordiques: TBD Winnipeg Jets (WHA): TBD

Does look like it. EDIT - It's a Rezztek® Goalie Edition

The Blues are a tough one. Some great goalies through the years. Cup runs, etc. Glenn Hall played just 4 years. Same with Eddie Johnson. They seemed to revolve goalies until Ed Staniowski lasted 6 years into 1981. Mike Liut played 6 also (1980-1985). Was pretty good there. Greg Millen and Cujo did 6 years each too. Forget that Cujo was there and until he left was one of the most tenured goalies in Blues history. What a helmet too! Fuhr did 4 (96-99) had a nice run there but he's an Oiler. Although Fuhr's gear was amazing and he jumped with the uniform change too. What sty! Brent Johnson played 5. He did ok. Then they ran through goalies again until Jake Allen and Jordan Binnington came along. Both at 7 seasons now. Binnington plays next year with the Blues and becomes the longest tenured goalie in their history. How about that? Liut still has the most games at 347 versus Binnington at 267. All things considered the Blues most iconic would still remain Liut. Binnington may play more than Liut - but he'll never have that iconic look to him like Mike Liut had. But hoisting the cup is as iconic as you can get... Goes to show gear matters. Binnington changed gear so often you don't have one iconic image of him. Not his fault - it's how it is today. All his gear is pretty nice though. His masks all look like blues colors diarrhea

Ever pick one of those Vics up now? Weigh like 25 pounds. Brutal!

I use a regular stick and I play C league over 40. Bob has a crazy custom stick and he's one of the best goalies on the planet. Conclusion? My stock sticks are holding me back.

Needs more tape on that stick. WTF is that mess?

Kings... because I'm 47 and this was in my youth... The gear, the swagger, Gretzky and mullets. This was a great era of Kings hockey. Tell me this isn't the coolest save made.......

Iconic goalies wheel famous ladies. All time Habs wheeler...

I'm in a divorce meeting with my wife and our attorneys the other day. Her attorney was trying to make a point that I "spend too much on new goalie gear". I almost fell out of my chair. This is the museum vintage gear I currently wear. Most of it is from the 90s. My wife is desperate to make me look bad and justify why she wants a divorce. Truthfully she's just an out of control narcissist thinking she's better than everyone else. I'm not mad. Please just go. Thanks for the laugh of having your expensive lawyer learn about goalie gear from the 1990s.

Good work. Nice list too. Maybe I should have said - not many older than 34. But it seems that the late 20s/ early 30s guys are the most prevalent. As with all pro sports!

Crazy that Tony has passed away. Been like three years now. He looked so old at the end of his career. I mean, he was 40 then. I don't think many goalies are in the NHL now above 30. MAF is 39 and still going. Amazing!

There's an NHL team in Columbus?

Dallas is tough. Turco was a stud there. Eddie had a great run. But for me - because of my age - Andy Moog is it. Only because he was their first goalie of name there. Plus his gear was SICK!!!

Flyers has to be Parent. Roy is iconic for two teams. That's pretty awesome.

DS had a few lines of gear they only had. I recall a bunch of the Koho stuff there.

I can only hope...
