Flyers Goalies Masks

All these pictures can be found on the Flyers Twitpic.

Sergei Bobrovsky's
First Sergei "Bobs" Bobrovsky. His mask uses a lot of Russian influence. On the Russian side there is the Spasskaya Tower with also a SU-35 russian fighter jet. On the American side there is the Liberty Bell and a F-15 american fighter jet. On the back there is the crest of the town Novokuznetsk where he played growing up, also a Russian and American Flag, as well as a Flyers logo.

Michael Leighton's
Michael Leighton's mask takes slightly less research. Leights used a Broad Street Bullies theme which is pretty suprising, seeing as he just came over to Philly last season and would hardly have time to meet the 70's Cups teams. Leighton uses a hard nose style that embodied the Broad Street Bullies with the Bandages and Steel. He also uses pictures of Dave "The Hammer" Schultz and Bobby Clarke.

Johan Bakclund's
Johan Backlund's mask is pretty sleek. Not much going on: a big Flyers logo on the Top and "Backy" written on the chin. I really like the simple, all orange and black, look to this mask.
