Thread: Varlamov's New Mask

QUOTE (A F 1 G 3 @ Sep 10 2009, 02:34 PM) so far i dont like it (IMG: style_emoticons/default/dry.gif ) maybe i need to see up close pix...and all you self-righteous ppl that will say WELL ITS NOT YOURS TO LIKE, yes. i know..this is a message board, i am voicing my opinion.

Should involve more Caps design. Leave the back plate for your country, ala Khabibulin, Nabby, etc. I don't have a problem with the Russian stuff. Many of the goaltenders in the league have designs that are primarily something unrelated to the...
