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.

Dustin Tokarski 2015-16 Mask
Dustin Tokarski of the Montreal Canadiens (born Sept. 16, 1989 in Watson, SK.)
It looks to me like Tokarski is wearing the mask he's worn the previous two seasons.
Artist: David Arrigo
The first two photos are from early in the season (he was still wearing last season's pads at that time.)

This photo set is from last season, but the mask looks the same as the photos above.
These more recent photos show his new pads.

"The design is a tribute to his brother who is working at the ocean. And Mike also grew up by the ocean. So the ocean is truly special for Mike and his family.” Gunnarsson said on his Facebook page.
“Mike wanted the design to be inspired by and a tribute to the famous wave painting of Hokusai.”

Dubnyk wanted to make sure his sons Nathaniel and Parker were featured prominently on his new mask for the Stadium Series outdoor game against the Chicago Blackhawks at at TCF Bank Stadium on the campus of the University of Minnesota on Sunday.
While Dubnyk’s original vision had his boys skating on outdoor rink on either side of the mask, he was excited with how realistically artist David Gunnarsson of DaveArt was able to make their images appear on the left side of his new mask, with each wearing eyeblack, a viking helmet and braids, and holding an old wood stick.
“That side of the mask is awesome,” a beaming Dubnyk told InGoal Magazine earlier this week. “I have both my kdis and and they are big and it looks exactly like them.”
The viking helmets are in reference to the NFL’s Minnesota Vikings, who play in the same stadium, and there is one adorning “Melman,” the giraffe from the cartoon movie series Madagascar who has long been featured on Dubnyk’s mask in reference to the 6-foot-6 goalie’s nickname, Giraffe.
