Most of yous don't seem to get the difference between the Osgood combo and the Hasek combo, Osgoods combo uses a long discontinued players helmet. Haseks recent combo is a one piece composite helmet. _________________ Rockin' the Combo Arthriticbutterflystyle Hall of Fame Joined: 01 Feb 2009 Posts: 1936 Location: Calgary AB Posted: Fri Mar 06, 2009 2:15 am    Post subject: I totally agree. Roy didn't try to come back. I bet Brodeur won't try to come back. Just because Hasek only got one cup (or was it two) with the Wings doesn't mean he needs to keep coming back.. puckstopper135 Hall of Fame Joined: 13 Feb 2009 Posts: 1523 Location: Ontario Posted: Fri Mar 06, 2009 2:15 am    Post subject: and fail miserably everytime...

Osgoods on the other hand I am not sure. They havent mass produced Osgood's combo since Cooper was bought out by Bauer in like the early 90's. _________________ Rockin' the Combo Arthriticbutterflystyle Hall of Fame Joined: 01 Feb 2009 Posts: 1936 Location: Calgary AB Posted: Fri Mar 06, 2009 2:21 am    Post subject: Personally I think Hasek's is just as safe as any pro series "regular" mask. Osgood's has always scared me. whaduzitmatr Pro Joined: 21 Sep 2007 Posts: 948 Location: At home, in my Av's Jersey Posted: Fri Mar 06, 2009 2:24 am    Post subject: The last couple of times i played I wore a combo exactly like Haseks "old" model, which was Osgoods helmet with a different cage. If I remember I may post pics of it tomorrow. _________________ Rockin' the Combo Vigier Minors Joined: 29 Mar 2008 Posts: 270 Location: Manitoba Posted: Fri Mar 06, 2009 8:24 pm    Post subject: Hasek's model is made of Kevlar which puts it equal with the highest level mask. Osgood actually had a Hasek model to use but as of now he has never used it. _________________ http://www.youtube.com/user/JustVeejProductions Arthriticbutterflystyle Hall of Fame Joined: 01 Feb 2009 Posts: 1936 Location: Calgary AB Posted: Fri Mar 06, 2009 11:43 pm    Post subject: We already established the quality of Hasek's mask on page on Veej...lol Vigier Minors Joined: 29 Mar 2008 Posts: 270 Location: Manitoba Posted: Sat Mar 07, 2009 1:06 am    Post subject: Yeah I just felt the need to put that out there. _________________ http://www.youtube.com/user/JustVeejProductions whaduzitmatr Pro Joined: 21 Sep 2007 Posts: 948 Location: At home, in my Av's Jersey Posted: Thu Mar 12, 2009 12:39 am    Post subject: probably one of the oddest looking combos I have seen, this is Tommy Soderstrom, from what I have heard this guy wasn't all that good of a goalie: From what it looks like the chin cup isnt even on his chin _________________ Rockin' the Combo Last edited by whaduzitmatr on Thu Mar 12, 2009 12:42 am; edited 2 times in total puckstopper135 Hall of Fame Joined: 13 Feb 2009 Posts: 1523 Location: Ontario Posted: Thu Mar 12, 2009 12:40 am    Post subject: That thing is butt ugly.
