Cam Ward and Mike Murphy Get New Lids

When Cam Ward returns to action, (which is now projected to be December 9 in New Jersey), he will be donning a sparkly new mask, again airbrushed by Steve Nash of Eyecandy Air.

Here is a description from Steph, at Eyecandy Air.

"Here's Cams new mask, it is similar to his old one but the design is evolving and has some changes- a white base,  no lightning bolts, whipping the canes symbol at the opponent ...things only a connoisseur would notice  ;  )"

Look for more pics of his mask coming up soon.

Steph also informed me that their company is brushing Mike Murphy's lids as well.  Murphy just got a new platinum/chrome beauty himself.

Star-divide

Here is a brief description:

"...he received it just before Thanksgiving.  Pictures don't do it justice...the silver you see is a shiny mirror chrome, it has a very jewel like appearance to it."

Mike Murphy's mask.

Murphy shows his mask in his latest You Tube mailbag video.  Also, find out who the funniest Rat is.

Wardo goes through masks like he goes through cars. Has he ever used the same one all season?

At least he's better than Tiger.....

he seems to go through girlfriends at the same rate and Cam goes through masks.

When all else fails, read the instruction manual.

It was good to be Tiger…right up until he got caught.

Yeah that’s not the best choice right now.

I saw Murphy’s mask in Norfolk and it is unbelievable. The chrome reflects like a spotlight!

by Caneshope on Dec 3, 2009 12:46 PM EST up reply actions  

Murphy’s is NICE. He’s making that chedda’ now!!!! Makes you wonder if the reflecting lite would be illegal cause of the glare it may cause. THIS kid was smart..

those are both pretty wicked masks.

Those Murphy’s Mailbag segments (more of which can be found here) are a scream.

Thanks for posting that link. I loved them!

So, with Jiri Tlusty arriving in Albany (tomorrow?), I’m wondering if the Rats might give him his very own mailbag series to run on youtube. Or at least a Twitter account….Just an idea. He’s been so savvy about managing internet media, let’s give him a long lead and see where it goes.

I vote Twitter account. Mainly because I like the word “twitpic” so much. :D

I’m not even going to go there

I like the white base on Cam’s.

I like the white base too. Very cool.

by hip_check on Dec 3, 2009 1:33 PM EST reply actions  

Speaking of goalies and color – Has anyone figured out the GAA when we wear black at home vs red? A goalie friend and Canes follower says it’s almost impossible for a goalie to pick out the puck when you have that many black jerseys in a scrum in the crease. Interesting if that’s a real concern.

sounds like a good question to ask Cam. (tries to make a mental note)

Follow-up … people made a big deal about M-A Fleury for the opposite reasons with his yellow pads (easy to spot the puck, plus find holes in his positioning). He now wears white. Maybe ask what he thinks of that kind of stuff … shrug

by Cory Lavalette on Dec 3, 2009 2:20 PM EST up reply actions  

Does any goalie in the league change helmets as frequently as Cam?

By my unofficial count this will be the third mask he has worn this season!
Is there a reason for his frequent changes?

by Swenksta on Dec 3, 2009 2:46 PM EST reply actions  

Change of luck? He is paying for them and with his contract he can afford them. Maybe it’s like new shoes, you can always use more!

by Caneshope on Dec 3, 2009 5:20 PM EST up reply actions  

So it's a fetish type thing?

When all else fails, read the instruction manual.

by lcd2you on Dec 3, 2009 6:02 PM EST up reply actions  

You mean he pays for them himself? I thought the team covered players’ equipment.

They cover the basic mask I think. The artwork is at the players expense, but I could be wrong.

by Caneshope on Dec 3, 2009 9:51 PM EST up reply actions  

I wish I had a job where I got to wear something as sweet as that… twice as awesome as a tattoo, you know, because it’s a mask, but at the same time it’s not permanent.

by JBK on Dec 3, 2009 4:50 PM EST reply actions  

You could just get helmet art tattooed on your face, then it’d be even cooler, cause you wouldn’t have to bother with taking it on and off…..

LOL Cam really is a mask whore. And I mean that in the nicest possible way.

But in all fairness, he did donate his last one to auction for Special Olympics.

Does anybody make a mask that can stop a puck glove side high?
