Here's a few more I got from the Flyers photo gallery. These are as hi-res as I could find them. Clearly says "Bobs" on the chin. No idea what is on the left of the mask, but the Flyers logo seems to be on the right side of his backplate
With Leighton's injury, we all pretty much knew. I think Laviolette has made comments on the situation as well.
So we can say that if Bobrovsky plays well during Leighton's injury he could very well stole the starting job? Now the question is will Homer start with Boosh or Bob?
looks like a cold war nod mask, kremlin & Mig 29 on one side and city hall & F-15 on the other. would have been better if it was old school with bernie on side and tretiak on the other.
chaoss is going to be pissed you didn't research this yourself and asked the board the question.
Oh come on. There's quite the difference between "anybody got pics of this totally new thing that explicitly pertains to this board?" and "what did they do on this show from 10 years ago which everybody on the planet except me knows about?".
Anyways, cool mask. I wonder if he got the idea with the fighter jets from Boucher, who got fighter pilots on his mask. Also, great catch with the City Hall.

Well, Leighton's out for a month, and the way he's been playing I don't think they're going to send him down for the time being.
I personally don't like the mask, I just think his choice was interesting. It almost reminds me of one of Hextall's mask, where he had the Liberty Bell on the chin and such. Oh snap.. Hextall was our last franchise goalie.. That means Bob...(sorry I won't get a head of myself)

that stripe down the middle reminds me of Hexy's 'the puck stops here' mask
It looks liek the front says BO35 to me and not BOB although its meant to look like BOBS
I agree. That is what it looks like: BO35
I thought maybe the 'O' below the chin was a 'C' since his name is Russian is Сергей Бобровский. At least, according to Google translate it is, so that's probably way off.
Looking at it in the enlarged state, the letters overlap each other and the stars on the first letter make up the complete top and bottom 'holes' in the B... There are also two stars in the overlapped partial third letter/number. Would the stars be there at the right side of the opening of the top and bottom portions of the number 3 ? I'd think that it would more than likely be another B.
That said, the last letter/number does appear to have a hard, squared edge on the upper left as a five would have... And for that matter, the third letter/number also has squared edges contrary to the softer rounded B to the left.
... I take it as BO35 with stars used on the three to be be a match for the ones on the B... and I believe the overlap was done to be a play off BOBS. All in all a clever and well thought out part of the mask, IMO.
