2019 Playoff Avatar thread - (AVATARS AVAILABLE NOW!)

[HanSolo]

Well this might be a shitty idea but a decent self deprecating one could be

Death, Taxes, and:

Marchesseault: Falling for no reason
Miller: failing to hold the puck at the blueline

Avengers is kind of perfect just because of last year. That was essentially Thanos/Ovechkin and the Caps snapping us out of existence. This year we avenge it.

Wild Bill-Thor
Reaves/Carrier-Hulk
Marche-Rocket
Stone-Vision
Schmidt-Antman
Gallant-Fury
Pacioretty-Hawkeye
Stastny/Tuch- Captain America
etc.

Again, how do you visually indicate which player is which hero?

 

[hangman005]

But Karlsson looks more like Thor.

And I guess my secondary point is, how do you even indicate which player is which hero?

I think the strength in "whatever it takes" is just the quote itself and we can use the Avengers logo and color scheme to make it work.

Slide 1= Players face, As (Insert Character here). on bottom half of pic. >> Slide 2 Flimsy Justification >> Slide 3: What Ever it Takes >> Slide 4 VGK playoff logo thingy.

Strikes me as a bit tacky but I guess I'd have to see it.

Let's not get into too much of a photoshop commitment.

I'm going to try to find previous years playoff avis from other teams. I think our frame of reference is a little off.

 

[HanSolo]

I need to break for the night, this is giving me a headache.

 

[BattleBorn]

Also, I'm walking to 7-Eleven.

I think 3 frames would prolly be best actually. 1 with the player. Then use the Endgame character poster that corresponds. Then Stanley Cup logo and "Whatever it takes".

Better to keep the slogan off the Stanley Cup logo imo.

This is why we need examples from previous years.

I'm going to curate some examples from other teams avis in previous seasons.

I feel like five is the sweet spot, and that's only due to the 50K memory limit got most posters.

Can't even remember the theme might have been cardiac kids for the flames last PO appearance, unfortunately aren't hosted anymore.

The flames used this as a theme a few years back, I show more for how we could lay it out than the theme. Which would combine Slide 1 and 2.

I'm getting this nagging feeling that the Avengers has been done already the more I think about it. Didn't Vancouver do that?

Most everythings been done. Flames did Flame of Thrones last season I believe. Anything popular culture has probably been done.

Yeah but I don't think they did the quote I picked. Just a, forgive me, lame pun.

 

[HanSolo]

I feel like I remember a Canucks fan with Kassian's face photoshopped onto the Hulk that he used for years even after that year's playoff run.

 

[HanSolo]

Well anyway. I'll try to chime back in tomorrow. Need some sleep.

 

[BattleBorn]

Also, I think the slogan of this series can be

"We're swimming with the Sharks until they drown"

Stealing this from the playoff thread, but I think the goal song kind of sums up what the playoff avi thread should be.

The song lyric in our goal song is, "swimming with the sharks until we drown" which is negative for the Knights. Until you love the Knights and don't give a f*** because we're scoring goals when it plays.

We make our reality. f*** what other people think.

Or something along those lines, for the injuries we've had. Although it was probably more impressive last year down to our 5th string goalie.

Cinderella 2: Dreams Come True.

 

[hangman005]

A couple of quotes from skyrim would be interesting too, but in a broader sense I'm not to sure how they would work.

"Do you get to the playoffs often? of course you don't" "I used to be a hockey player like you and then I took an arrow to the knee"

"You know what's wrong with the playoffs these days? Everyone is obsessed with seeding."

"Let me guess. Someone stole your playoff spot." For bandwagon avatars!

"See those avatars from Vegas? They've got Skyrim quotes. Skyrim. Quotes."

Well first off, ideally you'd change the lyric as I did to make it not negative, but even if you did that it really only works for one round.
