Goalie equipment is, without a doubt, awesome.
You always hope the goalie wearing it is, too, though with both Marc-Andre Fleury and Matt Murray, that hasn’t been a problem at all for the Penguins.
But seriously, their entire getup rocks. They need more protection, after all; they’re the guys volunteering to get hit by disks of vulcanized rubber often travelling well over 90 miles per hour, at minimum. That’s insane. Such insanity should at least be rewarded with some degree of guaranteed safety.
And so: big pads that most choose to not style, and cool masks that most choose to do something with.
