Well it got mentioned in another thread so we might as well get this one up and running. Title says it all throw your ideas here and let's see where it goes.

I was thinking something along the lines of "Expect the Unexpected" with sarcastic analysis of each of the players based on the ****-talking with the Leafs early in the season when they were pumping Matthews' tires.

Copying here.

Thinking something like this:

Nikita Kucherov - 58th overall, #1 in Scoring?

Unexpected!

Then the Logo with "Stanley Cup Playoffs 2018: Expect the Unexpected"

 

[These Are The Days]

This image actually inspired the avatar idea. You come up with a humorous premise and then photoshop Scooby's face somewhere like this.

Example

Kuch did it again

Next slide is Scooby shopped on Holtby's face with a RUH ROH caption

I've got a bunch of them and I hope Gong has worked on it.

 

[Sky04]

Ruh Roh has been the theme all year lets go with that, or something about parking lots and "put up or shut up".

 

[These Are The Days]

Other examples do not have to be limited to just hockey

Yzerplans not in computer.

Next slide is a shot of Darth Vader lifting the rebel solider off the floor choking him with Scooby's face superimposed

Injuries rear their ugly head

Photoshop Scooby's face over Vince McMahon and get a Ruh Roh in there

That would be hilarious

Master P not in parking lot

RUH ROH!

 

[The Macho King]

What's with the Star Wars shit?

 

[Flat Ronnie]

 

[VinikToWinIt]

Maybe something along the lines of a revenge tour since we missed last season.

... Avengers?

Stambot obviously as Iron Man
Kuch as Hawkeye
Hedmonster as the Hulk
Callahan as Captain America
Sustr as a pedestrian

etc etc.

 

[These Are The Days]

What's with the Star Wars ****?

Careful what you say next. I'll get that fraud Hulk Hogan to meet you in the parking lot

 

[Stormbreaker]

Avengers would be a good one since Infinity War is coming but I agree with sticking with ruh roh.

 

[Hoek]

Ruh roh has been good to us this year.

 

[VinikToWinIt]

If we were still running away with the President's trophy we could have done Presidential theme.

... Not that I have any clue how we would have used that.

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

Ruh Roh has potential.

One idea I had thought of was “Channelside Cheat Codes”.

1. Have a screen of a “enter cheat code”

2. Kutcherov

3. Increased Accuracy enabled.


Point = Clutch scoring enabled.

Vasilevskiy = big goalie mode enabled.

Stalman = big checks mode.

Hedman = big head mode.

Mcdoungh = defence AI increased.

Sustr = defence AI decreased.

I like the Ruh roh but also like the cheat code idea as it would lend itself nicely to animation.

Edited to add: if we do the cheat code, I call dibs on the Strålman hip check one.

 

[Werewolf]

To me Ruh Roh is kind of like the Everything is Fine one we already did. We should show a bit more confidence than going Ruh Roh ... we are a top team in this league and a favorite to win it all. Show a bit more grit and confidence.

Ruh Roh is too "inside joke"-y.

I would agree here. I think we can do better.

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

Good points by all regarding Ruh Roh. It would be nice to have a positive one. I really like the Cheat Code idea. Ooo, could make it Yzerman themed by first pic being "Yzerman Cheat Code" then the above ideas.

Or maybe something with the theme that Yzerman is a wizard?

Kucherov
Bridge Deal
Top NHL Scorer
Yzerman as a wizard.

(Pics of former Rangers)
(Pics of former Rangers succeeding with Lightning
Yzerman as a wizard.

Pic of Drouin with X through him
Pic of Sergachev
Top Scoring Rookie Defenseman
Yzerman as a wizard.

Just a thought.

 

[Werewolf]

I like cheat code.

 

[The Macho King]

I almost want to lean into the whole "Tampa Bay Rangers" thing and photoshop everyone in Rangers jerseys or something.

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

Here is a quick mock up

This is about 70k

What is the file size for non Sponsors/Mods?

Sponsor is 200x200 max 100K

That's cool, lets go with that.

 

[TheThunderYears]

That cheat code mockup looks great- it gets my vote.

 

[Sky04]

Can I get:

Cheat Code: Drouin
"Sergachev Online"
