2020-21 New Goalie Equipment/Mask Sightings (No political discussion)

[Del Preston]

Nothing beats Chris Osgood with the Islanders in 2001, still wore all of his Detroit equipment for the first few months before the team made him change the colors.

That was weird. Was he protesting his move to the Islanders or something?

iirc the league actually stepped in and told him to start wearing navy pants.

Spencer Knight era in Florida gets underway tonight. He was wearing his USA WJ pads and BC helmet in practice. Wonder what he’ll be wearing tonight

Nothing beats Mike Richters mask

probably more of a superstitious thing

David Rittich new (temporary?) lid:

It has customization (Bart Simpson) and his number, I'd bet it's his mask for the rest of the Leafs' season.

CCM officially launched EFlex5 for retail today. Here's a look at the Eflex5 stick. I'm not sure I've seen any goalies using it, obviously seen a ton of Eflex5 pads/blockers/gloves though.

Most CCM guys still seem to be using Axis Pro stick or the Preimer 2 pro stick.



E: Markstroms been using it for a bit.

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

Love it. Very simple, very clean and easy to understand.

Don’t love it. Good design, but same old complaints. Lens flare, cartoony- whatever, if the wearer likes it who am I to complain?

the old CCM logo is so much better than this RBK-inspired crap

DaveArt - where tasteful goes to die

agreed. my old vector sticks look better than these new $300 sticks. at least they make some new apparel with the classic logo.

That Canes mask is an absolute mess.

I'd say the same about most of the DaveArt masks I've seen so far. Obviously a matter of personal preference, to each their own, horses for courses, yadda yadda. They tend to have lots of tiny detail close up, and I get why that's nice to have. From a distance or in motion or both it's just a blurry mess without a clear look. (Regardless, he's extremely skilled in painting technique, innovative even.)

Another lens flared cluttered mess that is “okay” but would have been great done by any painter other than DaveFART.

 

[aufheben]

I think Brian Elliott’s is the nicest.

 

[jetsforever]

Colour isn't great but it's always good to keep it simple

This is the opposite - it's a bit messy/complicated but I really like the underlying colours and design

 

[Hockeyfan2390]

I don't get why Dave includes the "Bigfoot" alternate logo as the hundreds of mini ghosted logos on Avs buckets since they ditched that as the alternate and went to the "C".

[Nixon45]

Ok, I love the Sentiment behind this mask and the use of the First Special Forces patch... But this thing is a goddamn travesty otherwise.

What a scrambly pile of crap. I've hated DaveArts masks for a long time now and they just get worse and worse every season. Jokes on me though seemingly because more and more guys choose to get him to paint their masks. So... who cares about my opinion.

Maybe goalies want that, just like Islanders goalies always have the fisherman logo tho Islanders haven’t used it in ages.

I thought it was a Rockford Icehogs mask at first

Ukko Pekka Luukkonen (great name, boring Bauer supreme setup) got his first NHL win last night

 

[Filthy Dangles]

EFlex5 setup with an old CCM/Heaton Helite graphic print from a female Canadian goalie.

Wouldn’t mind seeing that in the NHL. Other than Kaskisuo with the old school Reactor graphic, haven’t seen it.
