Best Goalie Masks #6: Montreal Canadiens

         Perhaps the most storied franchise in hockey history, the Montreal Canadiens have had some legendary goalies pass through. Georges Vezina, Bill Durnan, Gump Worsely, Jacques Plante, Ken Dryden, Patrick Roy, and, most recently, Carey Price. Of course, if it weren't for Jacques Plante, I probably wouldn't be writing this post at all. However, the mask itself is not exactly appealing, and brings to mind certain horror films. The best goalie mask of the Montreal Canadiens is...

98-99 JOCELYN THIBAULT

While Jacques Plante's mask is a scary classic, Jocelyn Thibault's mask combines the class of Plante's with the modernity of today. It draws similarities to Carey Price's winter classic mask, however, the somewhat disconcerting eyes and ears on Price's mask make Thibault's much more comfortable to look at. With the 'classic mask' design, Thibault's mask wins for me.

HONOURABLE MENTION:

09-10 CAREY PRICE

While his Winter classic mask is kind of creepy, Price struck gold with this mask from his early years in the NHL. With several music and Montreal icons and the great colours, this mask is very well done.
