PHOTO: Jacob Markstrom pokes fun at Eddie Lack's long pads

Vancouver Canucks backup goaltender Eddie Lack used to back up Florida Panthers netminder Jacob Markstrom when the two Swedish goalies played for Swedish professional team Brynas back in 2009-10.

Bonus points to Markstrom for the legitimately hilarious #KayWhitemoreFail hashtag.
