Looking Sharp - The Best Canucks goalie masks

While there may not be a long history of successful goalies over the 40+ years of the 'Nucks, there has been a few GREAT masks worn over the years.

We'll start with the best - Gary Bromley circa late 70's


Corey Hirsch, with a nice picture of "mother" in the window...




John Garrett (i believe the long jersey was to keep the puck out of his 5-hole)




Sean Burke had a snowman mask during his brief cup of coffee in vancouver...


....but maybe he knew in Hartford he was to become a canuck soon.


Curt Ridley had a simple yet effective look, since used by Luongo in a similar small cage mask



Jason Labarbera's historical Canucks mask, featuring Harold Snepts, Stan Smyl, Trevor Linden and Kirk Mclean.




Alex Auld had a decent SJ Shark type mask, but generally the orca logo didn't inspire much for mask styles... see Weekes, Skudra, Potvin, Hedberg etc


Gary "suitcase" Smith a simple one, yet it worked


In the "holy shit, that wouldn't help at all" category, Dunc Wilson
