Hello folks!  Last week I talked about Veini Vehvilainen's red goalie pads, today I'm going to talk about six NHL goalies and their unique equipment.

Easily the biggest name on this list, two-time Stanley Cup champion Corey Crawford switched to black equipment this season.  I'm hoping that his success might inspire more goalies to switch to non-white equipment.  Look how good they look.

Crawford's back-up goalie Scott Darling also uses mainly black equipment.  These pads might be my favourite in the NHL this season, however last year his pads were even better.

Another contender for best goalie gear this season is Brian Elliott with his solid blue set.  These are actually inspired by what Curtis Joseph wore with the Blues in the 90's.

This list wouldn't be complete without Jonas Hiller and his Koho equipment.  He is the only goalie in the NHL to use Koho gear, although maybe more goalies should because these look good.

I miss Eddie Lack.  Why couldn't Jim Benning trade Miller instead.  Anyways, at least he looks good with his new team.  Yes his pads are white, but they make this list because of the awesome use of the Hurricanes logo as a design element.  Brian's has been making some great custom goalie gear lately.

Another goalie using custom Brian's gear is Garret Sparks of the Maple Leafs.  He made headlines earlier this season by getting a shutout in his NHL debut, all while wearing Trevor Kidd inspired throwback pads.

Are there any other noteworthy pads in the NHL right now?  Let me know in the comments.
