Best Goalie Masks #4-Edmonton Oilers

        When you are playing for a team who's name brings to mind a sweaty guy covered in black oil, there's not much to work with in terms of goalie masks. These two did the best they could, and came up with some pretty good masks.
BEST EDMONTON OILERS GOALIE MASK:
00-01 TOMMY SALO
 If there was an olympic sport for goalie masks, Salo definitely wouldn't choke against Belarus. He might take it all the way. To represent his team, what did he do? He plastered a bunch of Oilers logos all over his mask. In 1999-00, Salo had his career best season in wins, GAA, and save percentage, all while wearing this mask.

HONOURABLE MENTION:
91-92 BILL RANFORD
If someone were to stretch, bend, and twist the Oilers logo to fit on a goalie mask, they'd probably come up with something like Bill Ranford's. With the orange and blue swirls and the trademark oil drop, this mask is a simple, yet effective one.

Thanks for reading! NEXT UP: OTTAWA SENATORS! Stay tuned!
