SamJamIam Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 You have to wonder if signing Eriksson had an impact of MG deciding to trade Schneider. Keep Luongo for a couple of seasons and hope either Ericksson or Lack step in Unless you were in a situation with so much depth in goal that the guy would never get a chance, you always sign guys like this if you have the chance. Holmgren must have been high the day he didn't re-sign Eriksson. Now we have a guy who is more proven than prospect, ready to spend a bit of time getting used to the AHL game then competing for a back up position. It's about the lowest risk signing a GM can make and he has HUGE upside with that quick lateral movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyllenhaal Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Joacim's new mask: http://nhl.si.com/20...ey-devils-mask/ Can he wear this in the AHL as well? Also what does the word on the chin say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Can he wear this in the AHL as well? Also what does the word on the chin say? Yes. Jocke, Joacim's nickname/shortened name. http://www.daveart.com/mask-gallery/set/72157635323462793/default.aspx The story David about the design: Eriksson´s new Canucks mask is here It´s with a great joy we present Joacim #Eriksson´s new Vancouver #Canucks mask. Me and Jocke have been working together for many years and it´s always so exciting to create his mask designs. It´s extra special to create the first #NHL mask for a young talent like Jocke. Me and Jocke talked a lot during summer and a plan crystallized how we could create this new mask look. It is all built on the beautiful logos of Vancouver Canucks, and we wanted to make it into a cool mix of old school feeling and modern FX. A design that works in all angles. The design is also loaded with details to be discovered all over the mask, just what I love to do Thank you all for your interest, and thank you Jocke, it´s so fun to create your masks!

elvis15 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 anyone know whats in the green part at the back? From the link I posted above: Looks like some Haida-style artwork in the top half, and some sort of logo lower down. It looks like 'IHF' but hockey is IIHF and the handball IHF has a different logo. Someone else might be able to figure that part out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF is like FC, it means soccer club in Swedish, his local team is Hille so it's HIF or IFH the only thing wrong with my theory is that I think it says 1904 on the helmet logo but Hille was founded in 1922 That and the logo is different and there are a bunch of other teams that use those 3 letters in their logos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, I didn't know about the IF being like FC. I did some searching based on where he grew up but wasn't able to find anything linked to it, or the 1904. Interesting that we can't find anything on it (even searching now for HIF) so I guess someone will have to ask him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that we can't find anything on it (even searching now for HIF) so I guess someone will have to ask him. I think IF actually means athletic club because I noticed some hockey teams had that label as well. I found this 1904: "NSF section for hockey and football" - the foundation of what was to become the Swedish Football Association. Sweden is one of seven nations founding FIFA. http://svenskfotboll...nglish/history/ It doesn't explain the logo, though. It must be one of the original football teams, it doesn't look like there were any hockey teams were around in 1904, they didn't even start having hockey championships until 1922.

elvis15 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Hmm, not sure then. I figured I'd try Eddie Lack since he's on Twitter but he wasn't sure either what the logo was from. He did mention he'd be sporting a new mask this year though, wonder when we'll get to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamJamIam Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Pretty sure it's 1984 or 64, not 04. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostViking Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 The logo looks similar to Brynas IF's logo. Joacim played for this team and it is also based in his hometown of Gavle, Sweden. The year looks like 1964, which is the first year Brynas won the Le Mat Trophy (their Stanley Cup). Thats my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Even so, it doesn't match with the IHF/HIF or the Brynas logo - not even as an alternate, special event logo. My initial impression was 1904 but I could see 1964/84 but don't know what it'd represent. We could speculate on this all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amish Rake Fighter Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I thought it might have been 19Ø4 but I think that's Norwegian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
