2016-17 New Goalie Equipment

[Diamondillium]

Is it me or do the pads look smaller?

It's you. The gear goalies are currently using is still the same size as last year. Next year is the current plan for all the changes I'm hearing.

The goalies also go to him.....its their ****** concepts and designs with his ****** "flair" to it...

The 90s had such awesome masks and most of them were pretty basic....seems everyone wants all this clutter and **** on their helmets...shame..

I hate seeing his name on almost every mask too but the goalies go to him...

I also hate the 90% white pads in the league too but what can you do..

thats not true. At least not for most goalies.

 

[stepdad gaary]

Nice. I like this one, shows his team first and foremost, no question and has a nice small touch of personality with the fishing graphics. Very clean and well designed. More goalies should use whoever his artist was.

i really like when masks use the white border around the outside. Makes things look nice and clean.

Lundqvist's mask

Yuck.

 

[Hockeyfan2390]

Yuck.

Agreed. Too much dragon skin and I still hate the blue cage.

That's very well done. Anyone know who the artist is?

I am very proud to be Carey Price's personal mask artist. We have been working for many years and it is a great honor and adventure to brainstorm and come up with and evolve new mask ideas. Carey's latest mask design is a direct continuation of his latest Habs masks. A design inspired from Canadian hockey and the nature of Canada. Crisp and clean on a distance, and when you come closer the Storybook of the mask opens up. I just love to work with the details and create a flow in the masks. The matte finish also fits the look and theme of the creation perfectly. #careyprice #nhl #DaveArt @canadiensmtl @nhl #DaveArtCreativity #DaveArtTheGameChanger

So close to being a really nice mask. The logo on the top is just so out of place, both with its colours, and placement. It just doesn't flow with the rest of the mask. Nonetheless, pretty damn nice for a DA mask

That would be Todd Miska. He did a lot of Wild masks back in the day.

All of his masks are infinitely better than any of DA's IMO

Uh, no. Most goalies have a concept that they are going for, but allow the artist to use their creativity.

I like Lack's pads

 

[TrueGrit]

Schneider looks like he doesn't give a ****, just terrible, top to bottom

Looks like Cory went back to his Vaughn's from last season. He was using a different set in the last preseason game, but perhaps they weren't broken in yet.

Seriously, if HF had its way the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel would be replaced with angular lines/shapes with max 4 colors and a giant Vatican City flag.

Preposterous! It should have 40 000 000 glow in the dark, mini pope hats embossed over the ghostbusters!

DaveArt is the stonewashed denim of mask painters.

 

[Paris in Flames]

I don't even know what the hell I'm looking at with Rinne's mask.

 

[Evergreen]

I think of him as the Ed Hardy of mask painters.

 

[Hockeyfan2390]

I don't even know what the hell I'm looking at with Rinne's mask.

I hate this year's version of his mask. Coincidently, his mask painted by DaveArt a few years ago I think was one of the best masks I've ever seen.

Really liked this one too...
