Next season, 23-year-old Russian netminder Andrei Vasilevskiy will once again be sporting one of the coolest masks in all of hockey. Vasilevskiy made headlines last season for wearing a mask that changed its colors and design based on temperature and exposure to water due to the use of SubZero paint.
This past weekend, the artist who painted the mask posted video of Vasilevskiy’s new SubZero paint job in action.

The mask was designed and painted by Sylvie Marsolais of Sylabrush a company that “specializes in photo-realism and detailed artwork on goalie masks.”
A special delivery for Andrei Vasilevskiy! ⚡️ #SylabrushAirbrush

Before viewing the paint in action, immediately my nerd brain went to Mortal Kombat and then after watching the video, my college brain went to Coors Light beer cans. I can’t decide which is worse.
