According to InGoal Magazine, Rick DiPietro is back playing with one of Chris Osgood's old old-timey masks, which is great news for people who like dangerous, outdated models of sporting equipment that doesn't measure up to today's standards of protection or ascetics. For the rest of us it's just another cross out on the check list of jokes we can tell about Long Island's 'goalie of the future' (if everything in the future were made out of glass and the bones of the elderly with osteoporosis). I'm relativley sure the Islanders' equipment and medical staff got together and said, "We can rebuild him, but we've already given him all our money..."
