Playoff Avatars! (Thanks to Wen22)

[BarDownBobo]

Been thinking about Joey Moss lately.

A “Joeys Team” with a WWE theme with players?

eh...whatever Wen comes up with will be the best, but thinking how much Joey would of loved to be a part of this run, the first real playoff run we’ve had in a while.

I love this idea, especially with some of the goofy nicknames the players have that have come out this year like Nuggy and Worm.

Just spitballin'.... Two other themes that have persisted across the season:

• No depth. Go with a play on words where put the players images on flat objects
• [insert fun stat] per 60. For example, for Pujujarvi we could use "epic nose licks per 60"

I support this 100% / 60.

The King of the North. Photoshop a stick in his hands and McDavids face on his body. Could also make other ones for other guys? Could be embarassing if we get bounced first round...

Can't cut off Bettman's head with a hockey stick so the sword stayed.

Poll's up! Vote on as many options as you'd like.

I like the first 3 ideas best: @Wen22 avatars, "Battle for North aka Battle for Fourth", and @Frank the Tank's idea of having Oilers players as flat objects (no depth = flat). I think we could combine those ideas somehow.

I also think we should include mention to Colby Cave and Joey Moss in the avatars.

It could be like that hilarious 'Russellmania' GDT from a few years ago, lots of opertunity for characters. I wonder who would be this year's team version of 'The Penalty Taker'.

I'm going to break out last years Colby Cave avatar, hopefully it brings more luck this post season.

You forgot about"Sub Zero" in The Running Man. His goalie stick was a knife/razor blade.

I have never seen that movie

What about an Oiler fan with a random face (or a face of your choosing or Wen could do the faces) taking OFF a paper bag?

 

[Wen22]

<--------- is what I'm kinda thinking of doing, with the different players. Plan on having one for Colby and Joey.

 

[Chabot84]

I think something around the North division being underdogs or whatever

we took a lot of crap this year on the main boards, would be awesome to now have the North win the cup especially if everyone was rocking the themed avatars while we do it.

Songs/Music artists mixed with Oilers players, kinda like my avi.

It’s Gätean Haas in Here
Chaisson Derulo
McJesus Take the Wheel
Mr Blue Drai

etc

McJesus Built My Hotrod?

Oh buddy, it's entertaining.

 

[brentashton]

McJesus Built My Hotrod?

Ted Nugent Hopkins
Mike The Smithereens
Dominic Triano Kahun
James Neal Peart

 

[snipes]

Bump.

We gotta get this sorted out y’all

 

[Drivesaitl]

Ted Nugent Hopkins
Mike The Smithereens
Dominic Triano Kahun
James Neal Peart

Ted Nugent Hopkins somehow just doesn't fit bad ass nearly enough..

I mean could you see little Ryan at a Ted Nugent Concert? Way too much testosterone. "You shoot animals with Bows" Ryan would think he's the devil.

I like James Neal Peart.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Somebody mentioned that for Winnipeg the prospects for this series would be like nightmare memories of "The Shining"


Not sure if that could work as a thing.

In Anycase there won't be concensus, never is. usually its just somebody running with the ball who starts pumping out themed avatars.

 

[BlackDogg]

Mariah Khaira theme

 

[McDrai]

Lion King "Kahuna Matata" theme

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

The people have spoken. @Wen22 avatars it is!

Love the concept you posted. Simple and elegant. If you could make them for the players + Joey & Colby that would be great!

These are very nice!

Yep. Ryan seems more of a Biden - guy too

 

[Drivesaitl]

Mariah Khaira theme

Drug testing indicated...please pull over sir..

Or await testing for Gene Principe genetic sequencing.

I'm going to disregard the first 4 sentences of your post, but agreed on James Neal Peart. We could also do Alex Chiasson Lifeson. Then we could have a whole Rush line if we could somehow turn McLeod into Geddy...
