Jose Theodore genuinely seems excited to be here in South Florida.
Not only is the veteran goalie getting a fresh chance with the Panthers, but he seems ready to embrace the whole tropical lifestyle.
Take a look at these pictures of his new Florida-themed mask.
On one side of the mask is a feline wearing a bikini.
On the other side is another adult cat (the one that looks a little like Joe Camel) wearing sunglasses. Next to him is a surprised looking kitten.
I was told the three cats on the mask represent the Theodore clan: Jose, wife Stephanie and daughter Romy.
Theodore also has various Florida Panthers logos painted on the mask.
On the back, he has his nickname, a cross and a pretty detailed Florida license tag -- complete with the words 'Sunshine State' on the bottom.
The tag reads 'LX 60' to represent his jersey number with the Panthers.
On a related note, Scott Clemmensen says he likes the masks he wore last season and doesn't plan on getting new ones -- although he said he may
break down and do something later in the season.
Like Theodore, Clemmensen's mask has a taste of the tropics as well. Clemmensen, who is a huge Jimmy Buffett fan, has a parrot on the back of both masks to show his Parrot Head support to Margaritaville.
