Goaltender pads don't really get any better than this. In a league with some pretty standard padding for netminders, a little originality can go a long way. Garret Sparks, a recent call up by Toronto, showed off his cool hardware in the team's game against the Edmonton Oilers Monday night.

Former goaltender Martin Biron was such a fan, he tweeted out some really neat comparisons to Sparks' gear over the years.
