Finally a Proper Goalie Mask in Hockeytown

It's been a while since we've had a proper goalie mask in Detroit. Looking at the likes of Chris Osgood, and Dominik Hasek, we've had some odd helmets guarding the crease in Hockeytown. The off season addition of Ty Conklin finally gives Detroit a proper mask for the first time in years.


Sure we've had a few normal masks in the somewhat recent past; Joey MacDonald (2002), Manny Legace (2002), Curtis Joseph (2002), Ken Wregget (1999), Bill Ranford (1999), Mike Vernon (1994),Peter Ing (1994), Bob Essensa (1994), Allan Bester (1991), and Tim Cheveldae (1986)... but I'm talking about almost 6 years since we've had a starting goalie with a normal goalie mask to enjoy.
