Omg I forgot... Drouin for Sergachev and basically Downie for Vasilevskiy

 

[Hoek]

I've been busy but I'll start churning them out this weekend, lol. I think I want to do a slight tweak or two as well.

 

[BoltzManConstant]

This is cute.

If you want folks to know you're parodying an old show, might use something like this for the first image:

That really looks like Heaters tho. Probably best to shrink the magnifying glass to make it look more like the C.

In any case, very funny and well done. I love taunting the weauxf gods.

I'm kinda committed to my throwback logo though.

You need to get you some salt guys. I've rarely felt happiness such as this

 

[Machinehead]

Jimmy, hit my f***in' entrance music!

No, no the other one.

...


Hello, Tampa Bay!

Let's do it again.

I'm SO happy!

I'm going against Jesper Fast on this one so that says a lot about you guys.

Also I won't be liking anyone's posts for reasons that I definitely cannot discuss without my legal team present!

It also *definitely* had nothing to do with Tom Wilson.

I'll get you to like something. Don't play hard to get with me. If you do, a life-sized fathead of NYR Jagr being sent to your door is at stake here

Still counts

Updated version of the Stamkos one. Should be more readable when shrunk down to the board size, and also small enough file size now. Adding more to this post as I go:

Stamkos to Toronto

Kucherov LTIR

Drouin

Taxes

Vasilevskiy

Hedman

 

[Major4Boarding]

Kucherov and taxes are my votes

 

[These Are The Days]

This is the way

My only gripe is that its a lot of small text to read in quick bursts.

Otherwise, great freakin' job

 

[DistantThunderRep]

We should add Tampa trades for LTIR players cheat.

Or a Lightning Legends: Sam Gagner, Kyle Quincy, Marion Gaborik, Nilsson, Cheaters.

 

[LightningStrikes]

We had the cheat code theme a few seasons ago. Think they’d notice if we reuse it?

A lot of these are hard to explain without text unfortunately. But if people are patient enough to sit through a couple cycles it'll be okay I guess.

But... that would be cheating!

It was in!

I might fancy myself a Quincey for Vasilevskiy one if no one has it booked yet. Gotta say goodbye to my long streak of Paquette avatars this year. Sad stuff.

Actually no I'll leave that for someone else. I saw some people really offended by the Savard trade so I'll go with that.

'Tampa doesn't have cap space for TDL moves'
'David Savard for 25% the salary'
'Cheaters'

 

[Machinehead]

Here's my idea:

Artemi Panarin in a fake mustache. The caption reads "Arthur Pumpernickel, Hillsborough County, FL."

Lightning Witness Protection Program.

Cheaters.

 

[DrMartinVanNostrand]

For my part, I stuck with my Knuckles avatar last year, and with 2020 firmly behind us now, I'm going back to what worked for me personally.

That avatar is pretty much the quickest way to identify me anywhere, btw. On pretty much any forum I regularly visit, that's my avatar, so if you see Knuckles flying through the Hidden Palace Zone from Sonic 2...I say hello.

I technically grabbed the Vasi one for myself but I can switch (Edit: I'm gonna go with the retro one now). I'll make the Savard one, though!

Savard

@Hoek

Yet another bad idea from yours truly. It's been suggested a few times we get the word "Haters" in the final slide of the Avi and it reminded me of those old Chappelle show skits with the Haters and it's technically not impossible to dress one up like a Leaf fan, drop some uneducated diss and the last slide say "Haters" hosted by JBB too

This one was fun to make!

I'll leave that for you, I really like this one.
