Cheat codes aren't really a thing any more either. I grade that concept a meh. Don't hate it but could be better and more relevant to the Lightning. That mockup one could be a lot cleaner and easier to read, too.

Tampa Bay Rangers is a far more relevant joke and would get a lot of main board laughs, but I agree it's limited as far as how far we can take it.

Wizard Yzerman could be fun. Just consider all the things main boards were wrong about and how we can make them eat crow.

Truth be told nothing may ever top "this is fine" in the history of ever

It's the best internet meme.

 

[AlwaysSunnyInTampa]

It's the best internet meme.

Hard to disagree with. I just want this year's theme to be actually funny. Ruh Roh had my vote because even though it's an inside joke it's versatile for any kind of "ruh roh" situation no differently than you could apply anything to "this is fine"

 

[2020 Cup Champions]

Well, we haven't won a GI call all year, right? We could do the whole collusion meme with Yzerman as Robert Mueller and Gary Bettman as Trump. Instead of election interference it can be goaltender interference.

Cleaner and easier to read you say?

Cheat Codes, Wizard, or Ruh Roh Are my votes.

I have no idea how the hell I came up with this but maybe "Cigar City Mafia" and our guys get gangster names? It would be an ode to the history of Tampa

Machine Gun Stamkos
Babyface Point
Bugsy Kucherov
Don Vinik
Boss Yzerman

 

[RDTBay4]

Would be nice to somehow get the whole "stacked team" bs as part of this.

Too topical.

Thought -

Panel 1 - Yzerman trades Drouin for Sergachev

Panel 2 -

Panel 3 - Lightning Playoffs 2018

Can be used for most of the team. Point in the Third Round. Kucherov second round/cheap contract. Hedman Contract. Stamkos discount. Gourde Undrafted FA. McDonagh Trade. Miller as a throw in producing well. Etc. Etc. Etc.

Cheat codes is clever and humorous, it gets my vote.

I actually like that a lot. We could use our players too. I'd go with "Kucherov burns Holtby again"

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

What's with the Star Wars ****?

Star Wars has led us to a championship before

I'm going to hard pass on any of those mainstream memes.

 

[Todd1a]

Buffalo and Ottawa blow us out this is fine is the best ever lol

 

[Todd1a]

Sustr plays every 2018 playoff game this is fine

 

[Todd1a]

Our back up goalies are playing better then vasy this is fine

 

[Flat Ronnie]

Put Lightning players/logos on this!

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

All of the “this is fine” could be repurposed for “Ruh Roh”

 

[AlwaysSunnyInTampa]

Do we put Scooby in a burning building like a bunch of sickos?

 

[The Gongshow]

Whatever the theme is I want a Scooby head and Ruh Roh custom avi for me

 

[The Macho King]

Whatever the theme is I want a Scooby head and Ruh Roh custom avi for me

I want a Macho Man one.

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

Whatever the theme is I want a Scooby head and Ruh Roh custom avi for me

Cheat Code = Budaj

I want a Macho Man one.

Cheat code = MADNESS

Macho Man Unlocked

 

[AlwaysSunnyInTampa]

One more vote for "HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT!!"

There is so much opportunity there. We'd win best avi hands down with that theme because of humor potential.

"Kucherov faked Holtby again"
"Budaj lets in another softie"
"Dumb penalty by Coburn"
"Give up another PPG"
"Forced pass to Stamkos"
"Kuch extends scoring lead"
"Sustr on the ice again"

And we can make positive ones about Yzerman too

I loooooooooooove this idea

I don't know if there's any way to make the BitConnect meme into playoff avatars because I have no imagination but that's my favourite out of the more recent memes.

All hell breaking loose sustr and coburn together as a pair on the ice
