This is an attempt to stump IAB.

We'll see how it works out.

This could be a real tough one and the only other hint I'm going to give is that this famous goaltender played for another 'original six' team for the bulk of his career.

Have at it Monkeys!

Holy crap, I can see into the future!

I know the answer but I cheated. I would not have gotten it.

This will be a tough one I suspect. Sweet old school mask though isn't it?

 

[MMcG]

I'll give one more visual clue:

But not cheating like IAB.

Too old to be Sawchuk in his Detroit days...

Hence my comment.

crap, i can almost think of the name (the rangers jersey is the hint which sent me in that direction), but no dice.

damn, i just cheated too, and it was the guy i was thinking of.

no credit, though.

I was thinking maybe it was one of Rutherford's earlier masks, but I think his were all actual wings. I think Ed Giacomin wore something like that in his Detroit days....come on dad, where are your old hockey cards?!?!?!

How did you cheat?

I'm thinking Rutherford also.

The Chief Monkey gets it!

Yep, Eddie Giacomin it is!

Sweet! Anyone know if he started Fast Eddie's (burger chain)? Might just be in Canada, he's from like Sudbury or Thunder Bay, Ontario I believe.

I might not give any more extra visual clues due to the fact that often the URL will give it away.

 

[Ridemonkey]

If you save it and attach it like so it should just have an RM address.

No, I got it before McG posted the image.

McG mentioned earlier that he was going to stump me with and Red Wings goalie, so I figured today's goalie was a Red Wing (and the red jersey gave it away). So I found a list of all time Red Wings goalies and looked for guys that played in the era when those masks were used and Google imaged the names. Ed Giamocin was the 2nd one I looked up. I would not have guessed that.

Diabolical!
