Robin Lehner 2016-17 Mask

Robin Lehner of the Buffalo Sabres (born July 24, 1991 in Gothenburg, Sweden.)

Artist: David Gunnarson

It seems that Lehner wore the new mostly white mask at the beginning of the season, had the Military Appreciation Night one for November 11th, then at the end of December switched to last season's mask?

Does anyone know why? Was there a problem with the white one?

This is the first mask of the season: Gunnarsson said, "It was very exciting to create Robin Lehner's @buffalosabres mask only with a sketch pen."







According to the photos I found the last time he wore that mask in a game was December 23, 2016. Then in the December 27, 2016 game he was back to last year's:











He also had a Military Appreciation mask for the November 11th game:

Arizona Coyotes goalie Louis Domingue is representing desert sports to the fullest with his mask for the 2016-17 season.
Domingue's mask incorporates renderings of Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald, former Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Randy Johnson, former Phoenix Suns point guard Steve Nash and former Coyotes goalie Sean Burke.








It seems Domingue has worn two sets of pads this season.
Here are the first:

And the ones he's currently wearing:

Thanks for hanging in here with me

I finally added another post...Mike Smith.

I feel like I'm all apologies this season, but I had 2 more deaths in my family (mother-in-law and cousin) in the past 3 months, so it's been a rough few months around here. Due to family obligations now that my dad is gone, I spend almost every weekend with my mom, and that's my prime posting time.

I will get there, I promise. But I'm slower than I've ever been, and I'm sorry about that.

I hope I haven't lost a bunch of followers, thanks to those of you who have stuck around.

Smith is currently wearing two masks (one for home, one for away.)

The one he wears at home has Alice Cooper on the backplate.









This is the same mask he ended up last season with (his children on one side and Wile E. Coyote on the other.)
