25 most bizarre goalie masks in NHL history
By C.L. Kohuss
No. 6: Skorodenski
Don’t be surprised if there are stories out there of players seeing their lives flash before them while going up against Warren Skorodenski. That thing is beyond frightening.
It was referenced earlier that Skorodenski (what a great hockey name) claimed to be the first to paint his mask, and we can’t be sure that’s 100 percent the case. But after coming face to face with this beauty and ultimate pants-wetting experience, let’s not dispute it; He wins.
For those wondering what the grim reaper would look like if he strapped on the laces, there you go. We can bet you that nobody wanted to come into this dude’s crease and receive the death stare. One question: Where is Ash to fight this off? If Skorodenski (love saying the name) wasn’t an extra in there somewhere, then that’s a serious oversight that’s need correcting in the current Evil Dead television series.
Perhaps the best part of all? Type his name into the YouTube search engine and look at what comes up. Yep, a whole gaggle of topics related to demons and poltergeist activity. Because when you wear something that legendary and full of skid mark inducing horror, what else is going to be on the results page?
In fact, we’d like to imagine he’s down in your basement with that on as we speak, waiting for your furnace to go out. Go ahead, it needs fixing. Head on down there and light it up. We’ll wait for you to (maybe) come back.
