Number 5 by a landslide. I love the fact that both the colours blue and green are present on the white. Also, I loved that mask the best. 2008/2009 Luongo FTW!
#1 and #6, I like green. I think it would be cool if instead of using the traditional blue he'd use a little Avalanche blue with green and white, or maybe throw a little gray or silver in with the green and white, but I'm not complaining. I prefer having white on the insides of the pads around the 5 hole, makes the 5 hole look bigger and if you're a butterfly goalie, hopefully it baits shooters to play into your strengths. At least that's how the theory goes.

I heard that that is why he was going with white pads at the time. For strategic advantage. But now he has the green border around the pad which gives shooters a clear indication to where his pad is.
There was also a theroy in Ottawa that they where using. One of the goal tenders had all black pads so that during a video review, it would be harder to see the puck which would result in more calls being deemed inconclusive.
