Yes, that Bauer one is the mask I’m speaking of. I already have a regular straight bar cateye, I was just wondering if more ppl actually used those in older ranks.

You almost never see them in general. 

The benefit of a cat eye is almost completely negated in order to have it be certified like you're seeing. 

Sure you do get the straight on opening, but you get that by adding a fuck ton of bars everywhere else. 

Standard straight bar cages are more versatile and don't look as awful while also being as protective. 

Cheater cages are a great middle ground between straight bar and cat eye

And cat eye is used at the top tier for a reason.

That Bauer cage looks like something that a non hockey fan would draw up when drawing a goalie mask. Too many bars in wrong places. Pads on the wrong legs, etc.

Does anyone know what mask Mike Liut wore in the day? It really looked off and made his nose look huge.
