score a goal on the blackhawks

i'm watching the chicago blackhawks game. they are playing the buffalo sabers. the first period was frustrating. there were bad calls. and a bunch of mess.

but it did make me remember something i wanted to blog about. goalie helmets.

i love looking at them. and it's really weird, because you never get a good look at them. either the goalie is being crowded by other players, or it's on top of their head while they're taking a break.

what got me onto this top is at some point i got a good look at the new goaltender's helmet. i have yet to have an opinion about turco's goaltending skills, but i can say that i don't like his helmet.

what is with the weird demon guy on both sides of his helmet? now niemi, who should go down as the best goalie in 2009-2010 season, had one helmet that was pretty bad. it apparently had two of his favorite video game characters on it, one on each side. but at one point he got a proper helmet.

with the hawk on the front and smaller ones on either side of the throat guard. totally cool looking, and applicable to the team name. and i'm sure that helmet starting to bring fear to several teams in the nhl.
