there's something kind of you-can't-go-home-again about being a hockey fan in terms of, like, your "first" roster is always going to be "your" roster, no matter how long ago it was or how many people have been swapped around, how many trades, how many retirements, how many free agencies you live through. it'll never be exactly like that again. it probably wasn't even exactly like that for a full season. i know there's a lot of jokes about "how do athletes deal with trades. what about their friends?" but it's also, like, what about us? what about our friends? to me, the penguins are always going to be, like, brian boyle and jason zucker and brian dumoulin and evan rodrigues and john marino, but for other people, the penguins go back even further than that. hags and horny and nealer and flower. you don't have to go too far down on reddit to find people who think about mario and jagr. i was a fairweather bandwagon fan for the avs when they won the cup and that exact lineup holds its shape in my mind perfectly, but talk to someone who follows the team for real and they have a tyson jost-shaped hole in their picture of the cup team that's still not healed over. i just love that. the inherent melancholia of being a sports fan is not knowing you're in the good ol' days when you're in them and then trade deadline comes. and the trade deadline comes every year.

links to the artist's website and instagram so we can show love for his work.

from the givesmart link:

One-of-a-kind goalie mask made specifically for and autographed by Wild goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury, and designed by Cole Redhorse Taylor, a member of the Prairie Island Indian Community.

Cole Redhorse Taylor is Mdewakantunwan Dakota, and a descendant of Chief Little Crow and his people at his historic village of Kaposia, south of downtown Saint Paul. Cole is a multidisciplinary artist, working in the fields of both "traditional" and "western" styles of art making.

Cole was inspired by Fleury's nickname "Flower" (note: his instagram post says otherwise) to design something that speaks in aesthetics with what is known as "Dakota Florals". He used the color palette of the Minnesota Wild's logo and uniform to dictate the colors he used. It was also important for Cole to include the written version of the Dakota language with the words "Mni Sota Makoce", which roughly translates to "Land of the Cloudy Waters". This was the traditional name of this state's geographical territory, and the Dakota language was the first language spoken on this very land that the Xcel Energy Stands on.
