Habs goalie strikes fear in his opponents with… Ned Flanders?

Montreal Canadiens goaltender Peter Budaj, originally drafted by the Colorado Avalanche in 2001, has taken the tradition of custom art for goalie masks in hockey and run with it. He’s featured such imposing (if geeky) characters on his mask as the Hulk and medieval assassin Altair (of the video game series Assassin’s Creed), but he’s best known for sporting the terrifying visage of longtime Simpsons character Nedward “Ned” Flanders.

The art, done by hockey artist Dave Gunnarson of DaveArt.com, features Ned Flanders as some kind of wizard. It’s worked: last season, Budaj reached 100 career wins in a 4-3 game against the Phoenix Coyotes. Abraca-diddly-abra.
