A standout goalie is often referred to as a "brick wall."

The mask is not far off from the brick-inspired design Halak wore during his four-year as a New York Islander, and goes with a pad scheme that features bear scratch marks on all white pads.

The 33-year-old Halak has appeared in one game this preseason (he got the preseason opener in Shenzhen), and stopped 40 of his 43 shots thrown his way in a winning effort.
Entering the first year of a two-year deal worth $5.5 million ($2.75 million per year), Halak comes to Boston after posting 20 wins and a .908 save percentage in 52 decisions a season ago.
