elcrusho Posted October 5, 2006 Report Posted October 5, 2006 wonder how long he will keep it like that
Corp000085 Posted October 5, 2006 Report Posted October 5, 2006 wonder how long he will keep it like that the white mask is the ultimate retro item... it suits biron well BTW, i'm hoping he plays one of the back-to-back games this weekend...
Braedon Posted October 5, 2006 Report Posted October 5, 2006 Crusho, I haven't seen his white mask, is it completely white? If so, don't you think it's a message? i.e. I'm waiting to be with my own team?

If so, don't you think it's a message? i.e. I'm waiting to be with my own team? Agreed... thats what im thinking... he doesn't want to get new equipment and commit... he'd rather just wait it out and see what happens... his pads and gloves are white as well... i think the glove has some yellow on it though...

What does white equipment say of Itris Irbe?
HunkyDunky Posted October 5, 2006 Report Posted October 5, 2006 Is there a picture of Biron and his white mask? I didnt know he was wearing a white mask.
Screamin'Weasel Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 I have heard that "allegedly" the white mask is a practice mask he is using while he awaits his normal gear's painting. He may have held off on getting it done in preseason in the hopes of a late trade.
nfreeman Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 I'm predicting that it stays white until the trade deadline passes, we don't trade him, and then he customizes it with Sabres colors/logo/other. Marty is a team guy.
hopeleslyobvious Posted October 6, 2006 Report Posted October 6, 2006 the white mask is the ultimate retro item... it suits biron well BTW, i'm hoping he plays one of the back-to-back games this weekend... Normally I would agree, but since there is almost a full week off after Saturday's game, I wouldn't mind Miller getting starts Friday and Saturday.

If so, don't you think it's a message? i.e. I'm waiting to be with my own team? Yeah it is completely white.... I was sitting at the arena yesterday just watchin practice in 103, me and some other guy were the only one's in the arena round 12:45pm , it was kinda cool...
Bmwolf21 Posted October 8, 2006 Report Posted October 8, 2006 The guys said in the intermission that he is just waiting for his new mask to be delivered, and Biron thought he would have it by now.
Wild Jay Posted October 8, 2006 Report Posted October 8, 2006 The guys said in the intermission that he is just waiting for his new mask to be delivered, and Biron thought he would have it by now. That's consistent with what he told my friend roughly two weeks ago when he saw Biron out on the town. He is just waiting for it to get back from the shop.
Corp000085 Posted October 8, 2006 Report Posted October 8, 2006 kevin sylvester played it up as the manufacturer's problem, not marty's... Who knows if its true or not though... remember, there was another guy with a blank mask in buffalo before marty. his name was dominik hasek. not all is lost with a blank mask!
Bmwolf21 Posted October 8, 2006 Report Posted October 8, 2006 True, I forgot to mention that about Sylvester insinuating that the manufacturer was at fault - "We won't say the company's name on the air." Dom's blank mask looked way cooler though, IMO - it didn't have that "generic goalie from a Nike commercial" look that Marty's white one does.
Doohicksie Posted October 9, 2006 Report Posted October 9, 2006 The other remark they made about the mask during the game is that Marty said something to the effect that maybe opposing teams would think they were playing a "beer league" goalie and underestimate him. Typical Marty.
ThePolishSabre Posted October 11, 2006 Report Posted October 11, 2006 I'm predicting that it stays white until the trade deadline passes, we don't trade him, and then he customizes it with Sabres colors/logo/other. Marty is a team guy. Or maybe when the new logo came out Miller knew that he ain't going anywhere via trade so he got his made ASAP, while Biron had to wait. I'm sure Biron's is on order and will arive soon.
Dan Gross Posted October 11, 2006 Report Posted October 11, 2006 I heard the delay was due to the fact that the artist, JP-Era, broke his last burnt umber crayon. Oops, sorry, wrong board.
