The position of goalie has an inherent romanticism: masked men clad with cool armor, serving as the last line of defense. They play entire games, with an unparalleled ability to impact outcomes. When they're on, they can single-handedly defeat a giant foe. They are the consummate underdogs and towering superheroes all at once.

Mike Smith (aka Smitty) has worn a Looney Tunes themed Wile E. Coyote mask since he joined the Phoenix Coyotes. The mask design has become an icon and we decided to evolve the design for the 2013 NHL season.
The twist on this year’s addition is that it includes a personal touch. On the sides of the mask you will find Smitty’s two sons decked out in hockey gear.

Thomas Greiss of the San Jose Sharks (born January 29, 1986 in Fussen, Germany.)

During the latter half of the 2011-12 NHL season, ‘Barbs’ (aka Jason LaBarbera) goaltender of the Phoenix Coyotes and I collaborated on a new mask. It featured his two main amusements in life: Rock ‘n’ Roll and Professional Wrestling.
Both elements have been cornerstones of previous masks that I have painted for Barbs. This time around the centrepiece of the mask is based on WWE superstar CM Punk. The sides of the mask are emblazoned with Metallica’s St. Anger fist imagery, a trademark found on previous masks worn by Barbs.

His pads seem to still be the ones he wore in Carolina last season.
Michael Leighton 2012-13 Mask
Michael Leighton of the Philadelphia Flyers. (Born May 19, 1981 in Petrolia, ON.)
I don't have any information about Leighton's masks or even very good photos. At this point he's only played one game, and Brian Boucher has now been brought in as the 2nd goalie behind Bryzgalov.
