Linus Ullmark sneaks homage to the Boston Bruins into his Senators goalie mask
Linus Ullmark was traded from the Boston Bruins to the Ottawa Senators during the offseason and now, he is gearing up for a fresh start with a new franchise.
The season is about a month away at this point, and Ullmark just gave Senators fans a look into his new goalie mask. As you can see down below, this new goalie mask pays homage to Senators goaltenders of the past. The biggest names that you will find over here are none other than Patrick Lalime and even Dominik Hasek.
While the goalie mask does pay homage to the Senators, there is a small homage to the Boston Bruins here. Within the mask are two Bears. These bears represent Ullmark's two children. However, it is imagery that came into effect while he was with the Bruins, and fans of the Bs are feeling sentimental about Ullmark's decision.
Ullmark and Swayman were one of the best goalie duos we have seen in quite some time. While it is unfortunate that they no longer play together, they are still very much friends off of the ice. The first time the Bruins play the Senators this season, it should prove to be a whole lot of fun. As long as both goaltenders are starting.
