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.

Very nice. Also, the Voltron mask is so cool.

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.

That is classy as hell. Obviously wants to be part of the team. My opinion of ML just went up a notch.

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.

Oh, ok. I just figured since he was Canadian, designing Goalie masks would be a natural side project!

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.

From today’s pre-game skate:
I’ll have more in the next couple of days from today’s practice and from tonight’s game.

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.

Maybe in a few weeks they can paint a rat on it somewhere.
So, all my teams suck!

He signed a two-way contract. and in my opinion hasn’t shown me he’s any better than Leights. Sorry I think he’ll go down as soon as Cam comes back. Of course thats if Leights groin is better by then. Actually I think Manny should be back up for Leights.
So, all my teams suck!

Manny is also the worst puck handling goalie I’ve ever seen.
So, all my teams suck!

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!

except for the “cheesy” goal, using his words.

Probably needs a little more time. Just up from the AHL and acclimating to a new team and questionable defence at times. Its too early to make a decision yet, just my stinking opinion though.

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.
