James Reimer

Mask- Reimer boasts one of the sickest masks in the league. I like the throwback Maple Leafs logo around the cage, for starters. But the best part of the mask is in the finer details. On the left side of the mask is the silhouette of Optimus Prime, and the rest of the mask actually features the blue prints of Optimus Prime. And then as a nice finishing touch, the nickname “Reims” is displayed across the chin in the Transformers font. This really is a cool mask; a great balance between the team and personal touches.

Glove- Reimer is one of the only handful of goalies in the NHL using Bauer equipment. This year, Reimer is going with the Bauer TotalOne NXG glove, and I really like the look of it. I like the predominantly white base, and I feel that the use of blue is really well done here. It’s not overwhelming, but it still adequately represents the Maple Leafs uniforms. Rating: 9.7/10

Blocker- Just like the glove, Reimer is utilizing the TotalOne NXG, and it looks equally as nice as the glove does. The way the blocker is designed, the pattern takes up more of the surface area, so it features a bit more blue than the glove. That being said, it’s proportionally sound with the blocker and looks really good. Rating: 9.7/10

Leg Pads- Reimer is using the Bauer Supreme 1S pads with an NXG graphic, so it features the functionality he desires while matching his glove set. Again, the graphic uses blue in the same place as the glove and blocker, so it is a cohesive set that works well with the Maple Leafs uniforms. Rating: 9.7/10

Overall- When rating the equipment for the different goalies, I always take into significant account how the equipment works with the team’s uniforms. So while goalies may wear very similar pads with similar designs, the equipment may work better with some uniforms than opposed to others. Considering how the Maple Leafs have a very classic, simplistic jersey design, it seems fitting for the goalie equipment to follow suit. That’s exactly what Reimer did with his entire Bauer pad set, and he has a sick mask to go along with it. Rating: 9.8/10

Jonathan Bernier

Mask- Bernier’s mask has a very antique feel to it in regards to the colors it utilizes. The top of the mask features the lion like it has in years past, and the sides of the mask have the white throwback leafs, as well as small throwback Leafs logos. Overall, the mask has a ton of maple leafs all over it. There are a couple of things I’m not a huge fan of though in regards to this mask. For one, I don’t really like the font of the 45 painted on the chin, it reminds me of the font commonly found on airbrushed shirts from the mall, and I’m also not a big fan of the blue cage. Still, this is a pretty good looking mask, I’m just getting nit-picky. Rating: 8.4/10

Bernier’s is really plain and really simple; it’s all white with a blue logo. Now I know with Reimer, I said simple works with the Maple Leafs uniforms, but it would have been nice to see a little bit more on the glove. Rating: 6.7/10

Leg Pads- Again, CCM Retro Flex, however the pads feature just a little bit more blue than the glove set. I actually really like the blue lines above and below the CCM logo, and I also like the blue along the outside of the outer roll. I feel there is a way to incorporate more blue on these pads to take away some of the plainness, but they still look pretty good. Rating: 7.9/10

Overall- Bernier’s setup seems to be a little to simple and plain for my taste, and could incorporate more of the Maple Leafs uniform color without becoming overbearing. His mask is not as cool as Reimer’s, but it still looks good. Overall, not the best setup in the league, but certainly not a bad one by any means. Rating: 7.4/10
