"Why do goalies wear masks?

Consider …

* Lorne "Gump" Worsley once took a Bobby Hull slap shot that ricocheted off his forehead into the upper deck.

* Jacques Plante suffered a fractured skull, two fractured cheekbones, a broken jaw and four broken noses.

* Don Simmons suffered 15 broken noses, had an eye knocked out of its socket and was a candidate for a tracheotomy after getting hit in the throat during a game. Thankfully, he resumed breathing before being rushed to the hospital.

* Montreal Canadiens Stanley Cup winners Bill Durnan and Gerry McNeil quit the NHL long before their skills eroded.

* Eddie Johnston had his nose broken in three-straight games.

* Terry Sawchuk suffered at least two nervous breakdowns and 600 facial stitches.

* Toronto goalie Frank "Ulcers" McCool earned his nickname.

What did these men have in common? They played goaltender in the NHL before it was fashionable to wear a mask."
