25 most bizarre goalie masks in NHL history

No. 3: Fuhr-iously Frightening
So here we go, back to the horror. Hall of Fame goaltender Grant Fuhr went with a few looks like this as an Oiler, all of them traumatizing. Then again, when you lead them to a cauldron’s worth of Stanley Cups, who’s going to tell you otherwise that you can’t terrify men and children alike?
A favorite on this particular mask is the “oil” gushing out of the sides above the Edmonton logo. Or that could be a reference to what’ll happen if you hit him in either spot hard enough, we don’t know. Seeing as how Fuhr was all about lunacy, it could go either way. Notice too how he’s darkened the mouth-hole, presumably because he didn’t feel the mask had gone haywire enough. Here below was another look he enjoyed sporting on occasion.
Nope, not any less creepy than the first. Hold on while we scour the Internet for a new pair of pants.
Again, the mouth is what does it. Something about tiny little mouths that are intense and can dish out the screams. We’re guessing there’s some sort of psychology behind it, and the only logical option at this point would be to ask Dr. Flame.
We’re also of the mind that Fuhr and all those on this list need to team up to create the scariest and most hair-on-the-arms raising hockey/horror film ever. Title suggestions and/or plot suggestions are welcome and open for discussion.
