the hockey world has it has always had it set shira planted entertainers uh...
believes are important group of people but the great thing about hockey has
been the hockey mask dot plot was the first person to wear one
uh... back in the nineteen sixties unbelievable when you look at polled
footage of hockey you see these guys like gump worsley and john plotkin an
old goalies not wearing masks and the brown i believe is the last one cannot
wear mask in the n_h_l_ and and they're just facing the shots of course shots
that was before the development of the really hard slap shot at that time is
mostly rishabh some snapshots but at the same time it's ridiculous to have this
pop coming at your face
at many miles an hour
and you also sticks going up and down in front of you
anyway there were some great masts and that early era in the seventies patrick
and i wanted to take uh... that look at back at some of them and i know i don't
know if we're gonna go in any order here rikki i have a personal favorite mime
was always jerry cheaper if we can save that for last if you'd like
uh... but some of the current masks uh... or or the sort of the new wave of
masks by i i really like brian haywards mass when he was the goalie of the
fledgling san jose sharks uh... hazy now the voice of uh... you see there it's
the sharks mouth
uh... i think it's it's a great look
uses eyes come in through it and these painters who painted around the mass but
now today uh... we have uh... another shark mass going to have another
whose message this tricky family's grief yet thomas greases mass going i i'm you
know in the old hazy way this one looks a little jaws here it looks a little
uh... rate whiter you know how it looks real the painters have gotten better
since brian hayward was in the place yet but uh... and also that the shapes of of
massive change drastically as well so that's a great that these two are great
of the classic mass one of my favorites growing up i was in new york rangers
then and i used to go to games in my dad remember brother all the time
and there was a ranger rowly name usual crept home jill's where tom is known
they call them gratuity
uh... because he was crazy and this is his lion mask will
apparently he believed he was so crazy did he actually believe that he was in
the roman coliseum but he actually believed that he was living in the life
of someone who was a gladiator coliseum yes so you where the lion mask the
defendant and they would say that he was such a bad boldly in this is not war
there there were tapes of this at the time or i guess it was film at the time
getting out of the way of pops when he was standing in the polls because of the
he thought they were stoning them in the indiana major of uh... the roman ages so
it'd be interesting part about this one was that i i i'm not sure if you her
how he got that is masking read something
here in the story about
fighters in national geographic
and then decided no worries that i i want them right hander but it looks like
a lot and we are willing to admit it's actually effect i thought it was the
famous line instead of the tiger it looks more tiger another look at i was
little and but
in any case shows that tom played in the n_h_l_ for like twenty minutes i don't
think he had much of a career
uh... forty-seven and forty seven games ads uh... tapestries and by the nazis in
the hockey hall of fame and i believed he wants the math back
right but it doesn't they said it belongs to the n_h_l_
over its only thing we belong to the team to the steamboat paypal
i think it's parking parking self discipline that he can't get it back
anyone's with so little pharyngeal kept on thinking that that was really really
cool mask um... and immediately you know and then isle of curtis just for for
curtis joseph as one of the great nicknames in sports crew joe
uh... and of course obviously he had to have to do a painted onto assembled in
oregon uh... where he got the master of the new nickname nick well his name is
curtis joseph so
uh... it was
i'm guessing
see you from curtis jail from joseph
for is actually a stephen king novel y know that it that's why i could just
there weren't enough there was a thicker yet
uh... i definitely have implicitly no yeah
uh... let's go to the next on the put up on the screen phyllis steve shields yes
the shields a good one here
uh... steve shields well you know let's let's i think we need to before talking
about steve shields
we need to talk a bit jerry tutors jerry g verses that is my favorite there it is
uh... agencies got them that this is what masks will flight at the genesis of
of hockey mask
you see that yours were expose it was just a little plays on the back and then
you pulled it over your face j_j_ boers every time a mark was made on his hockey
mask he would paint
uh... stitches where he otherwise would have been hit by something so those are
all the stitches he would have had
had he not have a mask
and that's the shield generations later after jerry shavers
went ahead and had his mass of look at that again
faded just like jerry cheaper snap nigel what i think very very cool i think
almost as cool
it's the same thing of course the masters as evolve a little bit so that
they had the cages in front so they have better i'd you know they they can see
better
better of lines vision
but what what what he's done is he's painted jerry cheaper spears on the side
of the massive and painted a back to the mass so that the painting that's not
just that's not the fields any red hair i think it's really cool that things
have almost cooler
and very few something different
to cool masks
to anymore
uh... dairy simmons okay the cobra year gary sims the cobra played for the
hapless uh... california golden seal was an effort on the oakland seals yesterday
and uh... weak field jerseys they were unsuccessful franchise the jim nielsen
uh... was it
good they called me eskimo he was uh...
alaskans who play for them to play for the rangers later he painted the dragon
just shows you how far we've come
there's just an inexplicable dragging on his uh... mask
he played for the seals of any deal with the distraction from those ugly jerseys
with bush
markets s but some parts of the sneaker dragon
uh... isn't what i think it's a place for requesting minor we busting is a
visit ok well but we now i think it's appropriate ok it doesn't matter is that
we know it's not a steel uh... and he played for the seals
that wasn't that great mass that it was the
indicative of what was going on in mask technology number they became
believe golden seals uh... i think it will become the kansas city scouts
or the cleveland barrett accidentally woodlands habits of thought to be in the
cleveland browns uh... with their captain cmo no way in their goalies
you'll know walsh uh... over the parents play they worked arable saw and dennis
meru
was uh... was a big uh...
he was there before sir
and and story score political whilst we have uh... that it
uh... which if it was a very divisive i'd really like midi mappings d_n_a_
models it shows uh...
akkada for sales up a phone it is not because break at the end for certain
that unites people happen as part of al capone
i thought this was pretty cool pluses
it's very detailed the above
the bullets flying down any of the political life in writers have a very
was pretty good and i i don't like the flyers all but
i'm still with that being the calm at the boards the bullet had no was the
fires outside of philadelphia strip that is a dirty team they've cheated for
years and uh... and
these three three four
and chris pronger
and have chris pronger but i don't have that uh... leslie
go with uh... dairy bar jerry brown happily jerry wrong the let's see
probably uh... what way and there wasn't he really was the initiator of the
skeleton mass which is seen lots of different information services for
showing me this this is the ark type of that this is the very beginning of
skeleton mask history
probably played i i'm aram re he played for vancouver will simply play for
buffalo the listener members vancouver yeah powell gary bromley uh... of course
uh... uh... started the skeletons and then there were many many films after
that the to me
jerry keepers and and steve shields those two masks are the best
uh... that they're banned because at all plays off of hell called she first mass
was
originally there's one more that you that you brought up before we went out
of the segment and that was uh... tour of the for early edge a broker is an
important one to see because jim rutherford will not the first gotta wear
masks
and that's also not one of those doubts when that since the first one to paint
at at that time there are all usual gloomier and and and he talked with the
rangers goal is to just four white man's so so somebody had the idea that maybe
they could take a little bit onto jim jimmy rutherford so they gave him
kind of these days i make up the speech we we gene simmons stuff going on in the
face now with a little bit of the end of the detroit red wings on it so and that
was pretty cool and it is important because
we will he was in the first to wear
a mask he was the first uh... to paint on the mask and and that's important and
he's still with the bread but i believe i believe he's there g_m_ anyway at very
cool well walk down mask memory lane is the coolest thing about uh... about
hockey uniforms as they get the paper that's what
