Speculation: 2024-2025 General Lightning Discussion IV: We don't need no stinkin avatars edition

[Master P]

We do the wrestling avatars, but we use REAL wrestling.

Like the stuff you see at the olympics.

Can't even click or scroll on this f***ing site with a f***ing ad opening up every five f***ing seconds.

And ironically popping up in the area where you hit "post reply." Great migration!

It's been doing that for me for a good year now. #FirstTime?meme

Here's my humble take...I think we have a good team...100%...Cooper and JBB have absolutely surprised me with this team.

Here's my concern for the playoffs...the PP isn't as lethal as they should be by now...and the lack of heavy hitting and sandpaper...those are my main concerns. I think we'll get Vasy's best in a while...I believe that. But we lack that intangible I can't quite put a number on it but it is there. If a lot of things fall into place...we can go far.

Beating FL then Tor then Carolina then EDM/DAL/VEG/WPG would be an impressive all-time run for the ages

I'm not even clicking or scrolling on the ad and it's an invisible outline that I'm somehow pressing. Half the screen on mobile is unusable because of this shit. Site f***ing blows on mobile.

You get the scrolling ad too? You scroll down and 3/4 of the screen is covered by ad placement?

Florida down 2-0 to Detroit while Ottawa is up 3-0 late on Columbus. Senators will be within 2 points of the Panthers after today most likely, both with 5 games left.

Listen don't make the hamster die from the furious clicking and scrolling.

Yes. There's one always there. Then there's one that pops up and I'm not even on it, yet it opens the ad. I gotta scroll using the top third of my screen. Site blows on mobile, plain and simple and it's only gotten worse over the years.

Would be funny if we won the division only to end up facing the Panthers anyway

Probably not winning the division

Ottawa is a bit like the Blues. Coming in hot, firing on all cylinders to end the season. Dangerous matchup, it looks like Florida is content to save themselves for the postseason. Not sure who I'd prefer tbh.

Florida healthy would be a nightmare. Florida unhealthy with mediocre Bobrovsky is extremely beatable. Ottawa playing at a track meet pace gives me worries, but Ottawa at a controlled cycle pace where Ullmark isn't perfect is very beatable

 

[creg]

florida is playing possum, i don't buy this team is in this rough shape for a second

give me ottawa all day - in both of their 2 wins against the florida teams they looked bad and i don't believe in ullmark in the playoffs

Like the stuff you see at the olympics.

And preferably from the real Olympics, when the wrestlers were naked and oiled up. None of this modern nonsense.

Calm down, diddy.

 

[AlwaysSunnyInTampa]

If we're ACTUALLY gonna do the wrestling avatars, it's simple. It's "We got two words for ya"

You literally don't need to incorporate actual wrestling. Lady Sunny, who couldn't even tell you more than like 3 names and has never seen a match knows how that phrase ends. I think anyone here can get behind the of the 2 words being "Stanley Cup"

Now if someone wants to turn Kucherov into Ric Flair, X-Paq, Ben Bishop the American Badass etc then put a pin in this idea start working on the photoshops and ACTUALLY do it next year.



Otherwise right now we got milk cartons, Koopa Kids and my Ninja Turtle suggestion

 

[DFC]

Kucherov is the closest thing hockey's ever had to Ric Flair.

We have been missing out on some real bangers for years. It's gone on for so long you can reason doing any Lightning player ever. Idk. Someone who doesn't know how to do avatars is gonna have to do it I guess.

It's almost funnier as a joke at this point

 

[AlwaysSunnyInTampa]

@Felonious Python how do we make a Nintendo Switch theme work with our mythological team light switch? I know we did it before but the light switch is gospel at this point

It could be something like

frame 1: normal
frame 2: Nintendo Switch turned on
frame 3: Nintendo-ified Lightning image

or

frame 1: Goncalves early season stats, smol
frame 2: Switch turned on, powerup acquired
frame 3: Goncalves after Syracuse promotion, super

The concept would seem to have enough versatility. The Switch is also a popular device for players on road trips, since it's portable.

The regular light switch could be out-of-order for the time being, and the Lightning just have to find some kind of switch.

Xpaq remains the GOAT

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Gen 1 Transformer Theme:

frame 1: AutoBolts Roll Out
frame 2: Optimus Prime in Truck Form
frame 3: Hedman

Bumblebee = Pointer
Hot Rod/Rodimus = Kuch
Ultra Magnus = McDonagh
Red Alert = Cernak
Wheeljack = Guentzel
Sideswipe = Hagel
Mirage = Cirelli
Cliff Jumper = Paul

etc...

Me when they start talking about those wrestling avis again

 

[RussianBum86]

I think we need a playoff avatar to piss the rest of the board. Flashes of Gretsky and Kucherov with COVID cups flashing with them changing pictures back and fourth.
