Haven't looked at this thread in awhile, just checked out the last few pages. LOVE the majority of the designs. I'm kind of old school (RE: 80's-90's era designs), so I'm happy to see a return to masks celebrating mostly the city they're playing in, or the franchise name.
In the previous decade, I felt most NHL goalie masks celebrated themselves too much, with designs of personal things they like (e.g. Eddie from Iron Maiden, or a bucking bronco on a Habs mask of all things), and way too busy. So I'm glad to see all these newer ones focusing on simpler designs, and back to celebrating the team/city they play in, not themselves.
PS- Enroth, Vasilevskiy, Kuemper, and Lack's are gorgeous.
