Looks like Jimmy has competition.

Best. Mask. Ever.

*yawn*. Sorry, never been a fan of the Chuck Norris stuff.

It's a creative idea, I'll give him that. But even Chuck Norris can't help him with the team he has in front of him...

lol, thats pretty funny

This post reads you!

Fail. Maybe 4 years ago when the Chuck Norris crap was only slightly annoying, but now it's just fail.

[Echolalia 2,961]

This is still going on?

Thank God. Good to know I'm not the only one...

[Wings_Dynasty 267]

Genius. Stars win the Cup and Lehtonen goes 82-0.

I quit. It's been fun being a Wings fan. This sport is officially ruined.

Yeah I thought this fad had passed. Isn't Betty White the new hip-washed-up-celebrity? He should paint her on his mask.

He used the spokesperson for Total Gym® when he could have used ShamWow! Vince?

I think even Chuck Norris is sick of them. This died out long ago. Let it rest in peace.

Lehtonen likes to do things associated with the city/state he's playing in. He had Ludacris or something like that on his mask in Atlanta. I don't think it was his idea either, he let the artist choose something iconic for the state. This is probably the same thing, although Patrick Duffy might have been more appropriate. Then again, was Kari alive when Dallas was on TV?

Nevertheless, nice mask, outside-the-box idea yet actually somewhat related to his region (Walker: Texas Ranger). I still appreciate the Chuck Norris jokes too. It's better than Kill Bill.

its original idea on something played out so you gotta give the guy some props.

Meh.

Jimmy's is better.

[McAwesome 754]

The Clint Eastwood mask is way better done, if those are the same artist, his work has gone downhill.

For those of you complaining about the Chuck Norris mask, at least he didn't go with this one:

[Cheveldae32 32]

He should have put Modano on his mask....

[Guest Stolberg]

Hello.... 2005? Yeah, uhh.. I've been taking this medication you sent me, and uh... yeah, the Chuck Norris jokes still aren't funny.

Is that some kind of way of paying homage to the North Stars and their days in the "Chuck Norris Division"?

It could be a Walker, Texas Ranger thing, since the Stars play in Texas.

Chances are, though, that he just did it because he thought it would look cool. I mean what does The Joker have to do with Atlanta?
