University of North Dakota players Jasper Weatherby and Jacob Bernard-Docker took a knee during the national anthem before their game against Miami (OH) on Wednesday, in what is believed to be the first such demonstration against racial injustice during an NCAA Division I men's hockey game.Tennessee Titans for NHL Face Masks

Despite the slightly terrifying Jason Voorhees associations, the popular face plate-style masks of the 70’s helped opened a new door when it came to mask design. While most goalies were at the time just beginning to explore the idea of decorating their masks, Gratton had perhaps one of the most elaborate designs of the era.

NHL commissioner Gary Bettman pushed back on the idea that owners have asked players to renegotiate the CBA that was signed five months ago, saying it is "unfortunate and inaccurate" how conversations with the NHL Players' Association have been portrayed in the media.Miami Dolphins for NHL Face Masks

A hot start from Eichel and Hall, a strong run by Ullmark, and a red-hot power play could all make the difference in the Sabres qualifying for the playoffs for the first time since 2011, the longest current drought in the NHL at nine seasons. But I'm not ready to go there yet. I'm still held up by their goaltending and the uncertainty of it.

All that said, the Lightning have to figure out a way to keep at least Cirelli, a future Selke Trophy winner as the League's best defensive forward and potential future captain (although Tampa Bay captain Steven Stamkos is certainly not going anywhere). Cirelli is the perfect third-line center in the NHL today, especially playing behind Stamkos and Brayden Point. He has breakaway speed, a high hockey IQ, strength in the middle of the ice, and the versatility to move up the lineup if necessary (if, for example, Tampa Bay wants to play Stamkos at right wing). You win in the NHL today with strength down the middle, and the Lightning have that. If they can't keep Cirelli, they could have a difficult time replacing him without having to rob from another area.

In the modern era of mask art, we see goalies like Ben Scrivens and Michael Hutchinson sporting minimalist designs that are entirely focused around their team’s visual identity, but Dryden’s red and navy stripes pioneered this way of thinking about mask design. The stripes on his mask closely mimic those on the iconic Montreal jerseys, tying what was, at the time, an odd and new piece of protective equipment to the team’s uniform and visual identity.

"We've got champions on this team," he said. "We've got guys who have been in playoff runs, been in Game 7s, so it's always important to have that much experience and knowledge within the group. We'll see where we go from here."
