Senators' Cam Talbot paying homage to Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool with mask

As if Ottawa Senators hockey fans needed more reasons to get excited about the prospect of Ryan Reynolds becoming the club's new owner, goalie Cam Talbot has a new mask being readied that sports a connection to the actor's most famous role.

Friedesigns, a company run by Calgary-based artist Dave Fried, tweeted out photos and a video of the mask he has designed for Senators goalie Cam Talbot, which is adorned with Marvel comic-book character Deadpool, whom the Vancouver-born Reynolds has portrayed in a pair of movies.

"Cam wanted a nod to @vancityReynolds character #deadpool being a Senator's (sic) fan!" the Tweet reads, tagging Talbot in the process.

"I’m biased but I think @Friedesigns nailed my new mask. But only 1 persons opinion really matters…what does the real #Deadpool think?? @VancityReynolds," Talbot added in a quote Tweet.

Reynolds later responded with a Tweet of his own, writing, "Jaques Plante would be proud as hell."

In November, the Hollywood star confirmed his interest in being involved in a Senators ownership group, appearing on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. The club was recently put up for sale by the late Eugene Melnyk's daughters, Olivia and Anna.
