OTD in 1959, after taking a shot from Andy Bathgate in the nose, Jacques Plante leaves the game & returns wearing a mask.
This is a (mega) thread to Plante & to the mask wearers who followed. Some great goalies/masks do not appear & some appear more than once.

Rogie Vachon. If your mask is too detailed, I don't care if it is the most skillful design...I have to be able to see it on TV or from the nose bleeds at the game. Like this one. #NHLBruins

No mask thread is complete, the day after Halloween, without Gilles Gratton's mask. Even if it is the only non-true gif. #NYR #halloween2021

I may choose to add to this down the road but I'm out of gas. Hats off, or should I say, masks off to Jacques Plante and all goalies.👍✌️ #GoalieDay
