Linus Ullmark has fired a disrespectful shot at the Maple Leafs with his newest mask.
Ullmark's Disrespectful New Mask
One of the most fun things to watch for in the new season of hockey is goaltender's new paint jobs for their masks. Linus Ullmark got a new paint job for his mask and it takes a pretty direct jab at the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Linus Ullmark's mask features the iconic image of Patrice Bergeron celebrating the Game 7, OT-winner vs. the Maple Leafs
Any Maple Leafs fan who is old enough to remember that game remembers that goal and that blown lead. It could certainly be in honor of Patrice Bergeron but it is more likely a direct choice of Ullmark to pay hommage to his former captain and take a shot at Toronto.
However, it is clear that Boston still has a leg up on Toronto in their rivalry despite being a worse team entering this year. Only time will tell if the Leafs are able to win with their core or if they will be remembered as one of the best teams to never win it all.
Who will win a cup next?
