Marc-Andre Fleury is no stranger to flashy goaltending equipment.
The longtime Pittsburgh Penguins netminder came into the NHL wearing the mustard-yellow pads he sported in junior, and has gone through countless special designs used for Winter Classics and Stadium Series games.
Now as a member of the Vegas Golden Knights, the 32-year-old revealed his new mask that captures both the spirit of his new team’s namesake, and the city he’ll play in.

Awesome stuff, and we hope Calvin Pickard’s mask (to be designed by a fan) can match Fleury’s in its visual appeal.
UPDATE: The back of the mask is also nice.
Twitter dot com has asked us to show the back of Fleury's mask.
