Casey DeSmith said that he caught some flack from Teddy Blueger over his goalie mask last season.
"Teddy was chirping me because my mask was too 'generic' and it was 'like something you'd get at Dick's Sporting Goods,'" DeSmith explained, providing air quotes around Blueger's descriptions.
The mask was pretty plain, as far as goalie masks go. It was black with a gold stripe down the middle, and the Penguins logo on the sides:
"There was really no design," Blueger said Wednesday of DeSmith's former mask.
