2024-2025 Playoff Plavatar Thread

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server

Shorsey is MUCH less of a commitment in time 4 seasons (24 episodes) vs 12 seasons (81 episodes) of LK.

I challenge @Calicaps to make it through more than 3 episodes of those LK dumbasses and how they all talk! 😂

You don’t need to watch LK to enjoy Shorsey.

I think I tapped out around S4 of LK. I have a high tolerance for shows about nothing with witty banter. But my goodness, I felt like I was getting dumber the more I continued, lol. Maybe I’ll revisit someday.

I prefer Shoresy cause at least there’s more of a point. Each season is only about 2.5 hrs, with good and rewarding arcs. And, hockey jokes along with sports movie cliches make it easy to get invested and root for the guys.
———————————————————————

On avatars, my random late night thought is: Protas. Just all things BIG Pro. Pro as The Hulk; Pro as Ivan Drago; Pro as Groot; Pro as Paul Bunyan; Pro as Godzilla; Pro as the Terminator; Pro as King Kong.

Generally, we have a pretty gigantic team - can we do anything with that?

(With apologies to @twabby ‘s funny nicknames, I think they actually call him ‘Zeus from Belarus’. )

I would rather focus on something less ....insecure feeling...than "misfit" or unwanted players. That just seems a little too hypersensitive and negative, and like playing into the HF haters hands too much.

OTOH, the Caps have the most wins when trailing. Comeback Caps are back.

Not quite the best at 3rd period but close.

Never being out of the fight/game feels better to me as something to put forward and fall back on when they get behind. If they get behind.

Especially given the outside impression of the team re: the window being closed and just being all about 895 there for a while. One stellar off-season and the script is flipped. Given what's coming it may not be a one-off either. But also they're less good on home ice so they may get themselves into hot water early if they're not careful.

Either that or something incorporating their pre-game / post-game routines and how tight they are make sense.

Edit: Or #3...got that dawg in them.

I won’t change my avatar because I really like it. It was from a playoff theme in the early Ovie era.

I’m not sure about the underdogs. We are 1st in the league and should act like it.

THIS! 😂

Honestly not trying to crap on LK, just wasn’t my thing. Shoresy was just way easier for me to get invested in and enjoy.

“Never out of the fight” with a few frames of various fights from the season of a Caps player punching?

Anyone superstitious? Looking back, in 2018 we did a villain / Tom Wilson unmasked theme.

Nobody except us would remember it was a repeat idea. ;)

I still like the misfit toys or similar. Maybe something about the great HF crash of 2025.

And no sooner after posting this do I get "An unexpected database error occurred. Please try again later" going back.

I think I remember this one.
 
Well finally was able to log back in ... happy to be back

For a playoff avatar theme I definitely like something about slamming the window back open. Protas, PLD, Ovi, Chychrun, etc. as the Kool Aid Man? Window repair company?

Could do variations on the “how to talk to short people” meme with Pro/PLD/Wilson/Ovie’s face on the tall one and the opponent’s best player’s face on the short one.

So like, first image is “No” with Wilson and Panarin’s faces, second image is “Yes” and it’s this pic.

Would it be poor form to mock the avatars of popular Rangers fans? Could have some fun with a few of them.

Of course, I have so many on my ignore list that I wouldn't even know what a lot look like.

I think HF should have city bets among the mods, much like governors bet with each other on championship games.
