Proposal: Playoff Avatar Brainstorm Thread

[kicksavedave]

The MSPaint idea fits the Caps board aesthetic in a lot of ways, although I don't know if that poster is up for creating more or not. Might want to vet that aspect first or decide who will.

Keeping with our GDT aesthetic, maybe just no avatars other than a single word, like "Hockey" or "Caps" or "Win". We wouldn't even need to find a GIF master to replace Pook.

How about a fruit theme: The Fruits of Our Labor.

Apples to Oranges. Apple of my eye. Cherry on top. Tickled Pink. Going Bananas. Etc, etc.

Just sayin’...lol.

Not looking good, it seems.

I volunteer this as low effort trolling tribute if nobody else makes avatars

Godzilla king of monsters should always win.

Superheroes seems really played out but supervillains might be the next step up from the Scooby Doo villains

We still need a gifmaster since pook left

Yeah we fit a lot better as villains

That is actually a work of art! Well done!

I changed my vote to the monsters these for this.

Think the dialogue is unnecessary, just the animated parts + a still slide with some text would be cleaner.

Looks great though

Pretty sweet. You should replace the Godzilla part with Willy hulk slamming Panarin. And then a SC playoffs graphic behind the “Let’s go Caps”.

I like it too. Only thing is as a superstitious fan please no other teams buildings or logo in our avatars. Also someone said earlier that Panarin/Rags thing might die completely in the playoffs as new stories merge there and we would stuck with that team.

 

[g00n]

just use the NHL logo

 

[Eirikrautha]

I'll see about cleaning it up using some of the suggestions here...

The Last Week Tonight, Why is this still a thing? Could be a decent shout.

Wut?

Poll closes in an hour. Do folks want a second poll among the top 3 options or just go with the winner now?

 

[kicksavedave]

Suggestions:

Don't think we need all the text or the other godzilla slide.

Zoom in more on wilson destroying the city in the foreground.

When we progress through the playoffs, have the cup appear so it looks like Willy is moving closer and closer to it. When we win the finals, he raises the cup, blows fire from his mouth and incinerates a text of HFboard. haha

Can go many routes with this theme imo.

 

[Calicaps]

Thought I'd mentioned this before, but don't see the post, so: Prefer not to overemphasize Wilson. We have plenty of monsters: Ovie, Chara, Dillon, even Hathaway

Got my vote in 30 seconds before cutoff!

Picked old men, mostly because I just entered the age for mid-life crisis myself and having somewhat of an existential crisis... now where is my lambo.

Edit: oh wait. Wiki depicts mid-life crisis age at 45.

Phew. Dodged a bullet.

Maybe Rock the Grey with "old man strength" as a theme and our guys knocking over buildings as giant monsters.

just to overcomplicate things

Alright. Tiebreak poll is up. Pick your poison.
