Blackhawks goalie will wear Cubs-inspired mask in the Cardinals’ stadium for Winter Classic

Cardinals fans will love this.

Chicago Blackhawks backup goalie Scott Darling is either paying homage to his current city’s legendary team or trying to rile up St. Louis fans. We’re not sure which, but we enjoy it either way.

The St. Louis Blues will host the Blackhawks in the 2017 Winter Classic at Busch Stadium, home of the St. Louis Cardinals. So, naturally, Darling’s Winter Classic mask will feature the Chicago Cubs.

What a nice tribute — to the hated rivals of the Cardinals.

Poking two heated rivals with one mask. A brilliant maneuver, Mr. Darling. We applaud your work, but that might be the only applause you’ll get around the Winter Classic now.
