Here we go again. We're already seeing some new stuff in the pipeline, and several goalies will have all new setups to go with their new teams.

Let's start in classic fashion with, of course, DaveArt. An It theme:

"Welcome Alex Lyon to the DaveArt Squad! It was a true pleasure to paint your new bucket and create it into a tribute to horror movies... The closer you come, the scarier it becomes. And check out the Missing poster on the mask... I asked Alex whos face he wanted painted there, and he said paint your face.... Wow Alex, THAT is scary to have on a mask! Thanks Alex, I am so proud to be your painter. Cant wait to paint your next bucket!🥅 #alexlyon @philadelphiaflyers @lehighvalleyphantoms @Nhl #DaveArt #DaveArtTheCradleOfCreativity #nhl"



Henrik Lundvqist's mask is already being worked on as well.

DaveArt basically bedazzles masks, I mimic vomiting when I see his work.

In any case...

I want to see what Fleury does for his mask, a Venus Flytrap growing in a desert? A roulette wheel being spun by a Venus Flytrap?

Henrik will probably have "It's all your fault" written on the back of his helmet so his defense can read his thoughts.

Hooray for an early start!

Lyon's mask looks good. It still has a bunch of unnecessary DaveFX, but overall looks clean and refined. It is technically very well done. I also like the eye in the "P".

Can't wait to see more!

Dave is literally putting himself in his masks. I should be surprised, but, well...

Isn't he supposed to be playing for the VGK? Those colors on the equipment don't work at all.


Anyone have Fleury's new gear yet?

I wonder how much ahead of the reveal that the players and equipment makers got to see the VGK kit.
We might have to wait a bit if they didn't know until draft day themselves.

I'm sure it'll be a priority order but unless he's just slapping padskinz over his current gear (and I haven't looked but have they added VGK colours yet?), I think it's around 3-4 weeks to build the pads from the manufacturer?

Pekka Rinne new mask, I think it's actually pretty solid.

"Today I have the pleasure to present my latest Predator painting to my friend Pekka Rinn. We have worked together for more than a decade. This new design is built on the foundation of the awesome logos of Nashville Predators. A clean base mixed with vintage effects, and as the true Storyteller mask it is, the closer you come the more details you will discover. And for sure, all the DaveArt Trademark Super FX✨ is unleashed all over the painting... @ppr__ @predsnhl #DaveArt #nhl #DaveArtTheCradleOfCreativity @nhl #DaveArtTheMaskNerd"
