    I believe Thomas is the only goalie in the NHL who uses that kind of short/wide ("no neck") style of mask. Probably not worth the memory/effort to add another mask geometry in there.

    If you mean mask art, EA hasn't used real goalie mask art in years. Legal issues, ie the mask artists wanted payola to use their designs.

      BTW, Ken Holland's idea to reduce shootouts by making OT four minutes of 4-on-4 followed by four minutes of 3-on-3 is stupid.

      It doesn't address the reason why so many are going to the shootout instead of being settled in overtime: many teams are playing conservatively 4-on-4 and are actively TRYING to reach the shootout. The answer is simple: reduce the value of shootout wins. The GM's already feel this way; that's why they removed shootout wins from the playoff tiebreakers but NOT overtime wins. If they had any balls, they'd make it official: 2 pts for regulation/OT wins, 1 pt for shootout wins, 0 pts for ANY loss.

        Combine that with some offense and this is a solid team. I still think the team could use another top six winger and offensive d-man, but overall, the Bruins have the team to challenge.

        Seguin is looking solid now after a shaky first game. He's got a lot of poise for an 18-year-old.

          Looks like the Pens are finding their rhythm. 5-1 over Philly the other night and currently 5-1 over Ottawa in the 3rd.

            Chris Stewart is really good. 2-1 on his 2goals tonight.


            While I was typing this, Avs got another one.

                  Yep....Blues sort of went into a shell and got sloppy with the defensive zone play. Bad combo.

                  Gonna be tough to see another point slip away if they don't win this (shootout loss to Dallas a few days ago)

                  And we have overtime.

                      Hawks win as Sharp scores, and flat out steal a point from the Blues in overtime.

                        OT win for the Hawks. Great comeback.

                        Hossa has scored in every game this year.

                          No doubt. St. Louis let this one slip away.

                            Hossa's probably been my best fantasy pick this year.

                                Bingo! I hate the idea of 3 points for a win, but if they don't devalue a shootout win, something must be done.
                                A team should be rewarded for actually attempting to win a game in the first 60 minutes.
