That's not the Chuvalo mask, his new mask is red instead of the beige but it still has the muscle design on it. He as only wore it during the practise and they still have to make some minor adjustments to the padding inside, so that's why we haven't seen it in a game so far.

EDIT: If I'm not mystaken the boxer on his mask right now is Jack Johnson.

I see, my knowledge of boxers on Ottawa goal tenders masks apparently needs to be updated. Thanks for the info!

According to the game notes from game 1:

Notes:@ Grahame reached up to catch a loose puck after he batted his rebound of Chris Kelly's short-handed shot high into the air early in the first. ... Emery had a new boxing hero on his mask, Canadian heavyweight George Chuvalo. After catching flack for sporting a likeness of Mike Tyson earlier this season, Emery opened the playoffs with an image of the Canadian champion who went 15 rounds in a 1966 title bout loss to Muhammad Ali in Toronto. ...

I wouldn't know either way, I'm just going by what I read.

Also, here is the helmet Emery was wearing during practice

Digging deeper...

That is a picture of the Mike Tyson mask. It looks to me they are all the same, just the picture of the boxer is different.

Well I know they showed the mask on tv yesterday, I don't remember if it was Sportsnet, RDS or TSN, I am doing so much chanel surfing these days with the playoffs. But on the top pic I am sure that is the Jack Johnson mask, and the George Chuvalo mask is red with the muscle scheme and not beige with the muscle scheme showed in the pic with Hasek. And they said earlyer that he has not wore the mask for a game so far because the padding needs to be fitted for his face. After that Emery commented on his mask talking about the padding and saying he felt like a kid at christmas when he gets new equipment. He probably had the mask before game one but he didn't wear it. But I am 100% sure that he has not wore the mask for any game so far.

EDIT: If you go to the Senators website you can see pics of game one and Emery is sporting the Johnson mask for game 1. I think ESPN got mixed up with their boxers.

Check out www.itech.com in the Mask Gallery, has both Emery's showing.

That red one on the itech site isnt the george chuvalo one.

I don't know where you'd find them online (maybe some Ottawa news sites) but if you can find some pictures from yesterday's pratice (I think it was yesterday) he was wearing it in practice.

TSN or CBC had some pratice footage and I saw it. He was supposed to wear it in Game 2...but after winning Game 1, he didn't want to change helmets...

Goalies are nuts! :lol:
