Hey! I had those RBK leg pads my sophmore year of HS!
The Kings could've used you in 2007/08.

Goalies could probably see better in those old masks? I never wore one but you would think so.
Hasek style masks are unnattractive. It hinders them from finding potential mates
The answer is safety. Masks have evolved - sometimes in ways not detectable by the naked eye. Take the classic Mike Richter mask. Looks very similar to current masks, but in reality it did not provide him with enough protection and contributed to his concussions. His last season, he wore an "even more modern" mask.
The old Hasek/Osgood masks are just not safe enough to be worn in the NHL anymore.
But while we're posting classic pictures, how has nobody mentioned Tommy Soderstrom?
Florence Schelling played with special cage.
Also Irbe and Thomas played with old school masks.

Except Rihanna.To be fair no one looks good in Sens colours
