Henrik Lundqvist's Winter Classic Mask

Henrik Lundqvist will be wearing this mask during the Winter Classic against the Philadelphia Flyers.

From artist David Gunnarsson:

Henrik had a vision how to make a mask that looks really old...and not just old, it should also look as it has been used, not only used but heavily used for many, many years... A mask that looks so old, that it seems to have been laying at an attic for many, many decades... It is dusty, it is sun bleached, there is even rust around the screws... Heavily used...with lots of scratches and chippings...and puck marks...and marks from the crossbar... This mask has its own history from all the games it has experienced... It was so much fun to create this design.





Here is the entry for Lundqvist's mask for the rest of the season.
