Kevin Weekes presented Andrei Vasilevskiy with this custom Stadium Series mask, painted by Shifty.
Vasilevskiy joked, “I like cats more than I like skulls, but it’s cool.”
This is yet another tease for my feature on the Big Cat that runs in the morning.

Marner’s hands were unreal on this goal.
He caught the rebound and tucked it inside the post, with Tucker on his back, while running out of space to the post.

For those asking why play wasn't stopped when Hart was hurt, here is the official rule (Rule 8.1)
The problem is the phrase "obvious that a player has sustained a serious injury" is very subjective, so it's hard to say whether or not the officials made the right call.

Legendary goalie Glenn Hall has passed away at 94.
There may not be a more fitting nickname in hockey history than “Mr. Goalie.” Hall embodied everything a goaltender is supposed to be. Toughness, courage & professionalism.
His 502 game ironman streak is just one example.

Last night Sergei Bobrovsky passed Terry Sawchuck to move into 8th place all-time with 446 wins.
He is 9 wins away from passing Curtis Joseph for 7th, and 14 wins away from passing Henrik Lundqvist for 6th.

My first attempt to “paint” a goalie mask, and I’m happy with how it turned out.
I took an old, rusty mask from my garage, sanded, painted and turned it into a display for my bookshelf backdrop. It turned out better than I imagined it would!
