It's snowing! At least it's snowing where I live, I don't know if it's snowing where you live. Anyways, I'm going to do something a bit different for the intro today, it's going to be mostly pictures without many words. The topic of this odd-ball intro is, my favourite goalies masks in today's NHL!

I love the glow-in-the-dark gimmick of Ben Bishop's masks (plural, he has one for each jersey), and they look nice with the lights turned on as well.

I talked about Corey Crawford's two matching masks a bit last week, but they deserve to be on this list as well, as I think the headdress design is very sharp.

The Shark's backup goalie, Aaron Dell, has a scary looking monster (with very big teeth) on his mask.

I think the matte finish of Michael Hutchinson mask looks great. The overall design is nice as well, and I like the white trim underneath the cage.

Carter Hutton has an interesting half-and-half mask, on his right hand side is a mean looking animal (monster?) skull, while on his left hand side the skull is covered up a broken up old goalie mask.

As a Canucks fan I might be biased, but I have both Vancouver goalies on this list. Jacob Markstrom recently switched to this mask, which is painted to look like an old school goalie mask. I really like the cracks added to vintage mask.

I'm also a big fan of Ryan Miller's mask, which is inspired by First Nations totem poles from here in the Pacific Northwest.

Jonathan Quick's mask is a classic not only because he's kept it the same for so long, but also because it's simply a very nice design.
