José Wore a New Mask at Practice Today

From George Richards' On Frozen Pond:

Panthers goalie Jose Theodore was rocking a new mask on Saturday although he says he's not decided whether it will be his new game mask or not.

Theodore said he has had gargoyles on his old masks because he liked the idea of the legend that gargoyles 'defended the city.'

On his new mask, Theodore brings the idea back -- with a tropical take: Tiki carvings defending sand castles. With palm trees and stuff.
