Goalies are notorious for having multiple cages during a season due to their superstitious nature. The main question now is how long this mask will stick around. These are not quite the same since the Blues logo and the 50 are not recessed to look as though they are under the mask, but the slightly frayed edges give that same effect.Īs always, David Gunnarsson does solid work.
