Every picture I have researched of a Flyer goalie wearing #30 and this mask (called the '3/4 fibrosport' by mask fans) is Gamble. I don't believe Bernie got a fibro until he joined Plante with the Leafs. The Leaf player, Bill MacMillan, places this picture in the 1970-71 or 1971-72 season. Gamble and Parent each wore #30 before and after they switched teams.<br /><br />This mistake is common - - the hockey hall of fame also identifies this picture as Parent. Even Parent's website mistakenly has a picture of Gamble on it. If you're into masks (I am) you can match this mask to Gamble as a Leaf or Flyer but not Parent. The other thing is the make of the stick and the taping. Bernie used Sherwoods and taped them a specific way. The make (CCM) and taping style matches Gamble in this pic.dsdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05503694155546989661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525636942493401977.post-87876737611566993482010-11-29T12:46:17.806-05:002010-11-29T12:46:17.806-05:00Great selection there!
