Mike Smith 2019-20 Mask

Mike Smith of the Edmonton Oilers (born March 22, 1982 in Kingston, ON.)

Artist: David Arrigo

David said on twitter that this was Smith's 2nd mask of the season: https://twitter.com/darrigoart/status/1180477976066101249

But I couldn't find a tweet of the first one.

This one is mostly white (including the middle part where the oil derrick is.)
















Then there is also this one (notice the middle is orange.) So maybe this was the first one he referred to, but I couldn't find the tweet.










Then this is his 3rd mask (worn with 3rd jerseys.)

Jacob Markstrom 2019-20 Mask

Jacob Markstrom of the Vancouver Canucks (born January 31, 1990 in Gavle, Sweden.)

Artist: Dave Gunnarsson

From the artist: "Watch out! The Orca Extremegrin is on the loose! Yep that is the name of Markstrom’s new Canucks mask for the coming season. The design is an homage to our friend Johan Holmqvist’s Team Sweden mask I painted and created 19 years ago! Yep I painted the original back in the 90s. Then a little goalie boy named Jacob Markstrom saw Holmqvist’s ExtremeGrin mask on TV when Holmqvist played with Team Sweden. It became Markstrom’s favorite mask. And this year when Markström was going to play for Team Sweden, he wanted to pay tribute to his favorite mask, the ExtremeGrin, and make an updated version of it. And for the coming NHL season Markstrom wanted to introduce the ExtremeGrin also in the NHL....so here comes the 2.0 version, the ExtremeGrin Of The Canucks."










Retro Mask












Markstrom started wearing this mask in Mid-November, but I haven't found any information about it yet. I feel like it's another DaveArt mask, but I haven't found his post about it yet. But I will go ahead and post pictures until I have more info.



He added this sticker on the back after his father passed away.
