Winter Classic Goalie Masks – Tuukka Rask and Tim Thomas

Tim Thomas and Tuukka Rask sported great new masks for the Winter Classic today.

Thomas’ paid tribute to Bruins legendary announcer Fred Cusick who passed away in the summer. Rask went with a bear tearing apart a Yankees jersey – which elicited a huge ovation from the Boston Crowd today.

UPDATE:

Steve Nash of eyecandyair was kind enough to give us shots of the Thomas Mask.  Steve has done every one of Tim’s masks – and will be working on an Olympic Mask now as well.

Thanks to Steve – if you could take a few minutes to check out his web site you’ll see some fantastic work there. We’ll be chatting with Steve soon for inGoal Magazine – if you have any questions for him, leave them in the comments or drop me a line.
