I LOVE simple design masks. These are the bests

I think if a players wants to go simple, they should go FULL Arturs Irbe on the whole league. Look how dirty those pads are:

Always thought Nabby had an awesome mask with the Islanders

Also, Jonathan Quick has an amazing mask

His retro mask is also amazing simply because of the ear

Some nicely executed modern masks...

Better than some other modern examples (Huet, Joseph, Nabokov) posted here IMO. Not as cheesy and not just as busy. Still, less is more would be a notion worth teaching the designers of most goalie masks.
