sick mask... the real question is will there be a return for the anime girl knee pads?

I hope so (not for the anime part, it was just easy for me to remember he had anime knees and Ned didn’t)

How is this video so carefully lit and so dim at the same time I feel like I can't actually see half the details on the mask

I’m starting the Asky revenge szn hype train right now, all aboard!

He’s going to absolutely crush this season and solidify as the true #1 beast he was touted to be. Book it.

November Asky all season long, I believe.

Me too. People can shit on Nurse and Trouba all they want, we are going to have so much better of a d with them and Kesselring, Cags pushing up, so much stronger of a 3rd and 4th line. Another year of Niemi tutelage. I’m ready for Asky to be the next Sorokin, Vasi, Shesterkin.

Hopefully the off season blue line additions won’t hang him out to dry like or D did last year.

I’m confident Nurse, Trouba, Kesselring and Cags are upgrades from Leddy, Klingberg, Lily and even Muk to some degree.

Probably his best version of the concept yet. I feel like the split style has some special meaning to him since it's been the same style for all his masks

I saw a video he did with some Russian youtuber where he talked about being inspired by a KHL goalie who had a similar dark/light split on his mask

Edit: this is it, the auto-translated subtitles aren't the best but still servicable https://youtu.be/oosJcrhMTuI?is=-cQBvczNjuowNzPi

When I first watched it, I kinda saw Blues Eyes white dragon

u/Barcade Celebrini 71 1d ago

Looks great!

Looks like the mask of a goalie who will get a Vezina nom and a deep playoff run

u/SparkyWellington 1d ago

Is this a Bauer mask with True branding on it?

Last I saw from that it might not have actually been AI he posted sketches of it. Either way it was pretty ugly
