“Quansah gets two-game ban” The fuck is Starmer doing. Did he even make the call?
I think the last shirt I got with a name/number on was this one (player and shirt, albeit short sleeved). I still have it in my wardrobe at home 😄
Can’t recall if it was @mikediver.bsky.social or @alientheory.bsky.social or someone else entirely that alerted me to this, but this was a good read as a big fan of the Alien franchise in general, and interesting insight into where the original first-draft of Alien 3 was going to take things.
“We had one goalie and two water bottles as the third-place team in a four-team league with fifth-rate fans and half a dozen hangers-on who knew nothing about hockey and just wanted the free beer our sponsors gave us” is a sensational quote 😆 From Terry Ryan’s book ’Tales of a First Round Nothing’
I didn’t necessarily have the Muppets in mind when I drew this but now we’re here I feel like there’s adaptation potential. Kermit as Hicks. Fozzy as Gorman. Sam as Burke. Keep Sigourney, obvs.
Congratulations to the Carolina Hurricanes then. From 'bunch of jerks' to Stanley Cup winners. Only losing three games on the way to the Cup is seriously impressive as well.
Just here to agree. Japanese national kits rarely miss - the woman's hockey team one is nice, with the cherry blossoms (because that's the team's nickname), and the cricket ones have historically been pretty good on the whole.
Tweaked it a little bit to make the head stand out a little more, and matchup with the rest of the design a little better.
Part of the fun of creating templates is that you can adapt them however you like; in this case taking the Canadiens template, & Sudbury Blueberry Bulldogs template to create these Terry Ryan pics, one with Terry back in a Habs uniform, one as Ted Hitchcock in Shoresy (say his name fast, it’s funny)
