Manny Legace's Tribute Mask

Gone is the old, all white, generic mask that Manny Legace used to wear. Now he dons a sporty, Hurricanes centric mask freshly brushed by Eye Candy Air's own Steve Nash. Our friends at Eye Candy Air recently emailed me a photo of the mask and it is a beauty.
As you can see, there are plenty of flags displayed, along with the Marines lifting a Hurricanes logo flag on the top. He also has tribute to retired players Ron Francis and Glen Wesley on one side and honored players Steve Chiasson and Gordie Howe on the other.
Looks like Manny is planning on sticking around awhile.

I think I still have my Voltron toy in my attic … it took a lot longer to form Voltron with the toys than it took on TV.

Question
Does the player pay to have that done or does the organization they play for pay for it? Thanks.
I’m guessing the player shells out the cash.

Very impressive. This coupled with LTD’s picture of him bear-hugging Leighton after the Leighton’s win over the Wild… well, the dude is scoring some points with the fans.
So how does Leighton react when he sees the mask? “Gee, that’s one nice mask. I think the Albany fans will really appreciate all the hard work that was put into it.”
Just thinking Leighton might not be as excited about it as the rest of us.
Somewhere, Archie just smiled.
That 17-year-old Hokie sitting in the rafters in Greensboro didn't see any of this coming.
Agreed. Leighton is out with injury and doesn’t look good. Not to mention, I think Legace is a much better goalie than Leighton. On paper as well as effort on the ice. It’s clear to me, every time he’s on the ice, he has something to prove and WANTS to be a part of the team; WANTS to be a part of the solution.
To come into the league and play for the worst team in the league and show up like he does each time he’s on the ice = PROPS.
Next year contract?......not for us.
He’s playing like that for a contract. Gives him another chance to show he still has what it takes to whoever is looking. Manny has not looked good so far for us not sure if you are referring to his past.
So, all my teams suck!
With all due respect to Manny...
…I’m not sure I’m on board with repurposing Iwo Jima into a Hurricanes thing.
Kinda like this flag that I occasionally see flying at tailgates in Blacksburg — I know both are meant as tribute, but it seems like they take the original inspiration a bit too lightly.

Oh C'mon
Canes flag is way cooler than stars and stripes. I would be embarrassed to have the US flag on my helmet. I’m totally on board with replacing it.
