Post a pic of your team's arena banners

[Mr Positive]

I feel the Senators should have combined all of the previous franchises banners into one banner. It should be a nod to their history, not a substantial claim of it as their own.

Yeah I would agree with that. It seems like they are only doing it because they are right next to Montreal and Toronto, who are loaded with banners.

 

[The Podium]

Montreal's makes it look like a place of worship. (as it should be) Top-notch.

Detroit is great, too.

And I dig that Ottawa honours their hockey history. It is a Good Thing.â„¢

They look great going sideways vs. vertical running the length of the arena like Toronto's are set up

 

[goosemooseduck]

Damn, the whole rink is sagging. Talk about bad ice...

 

[George Binks]

They have an Expos banner in there? Awww.

That's the coolest and saddest thing ive ever seen

[TBLightningFan]

No retired numbers....... yet.

 

[Ducks in a row]

lol

You should not be embarrassed to post the San Jose Sharks Banners hmm...

 

[Blitzkrug]

"Western Conference Regular Season Champions"



It annoyed me seeing the Moose had a banner like that in the MTS Centre (and it's still there i think, haven't been in there in a few months) but the Sharks having that banner makes me laugh.

That just looks beautiful.

I think Detroit has the best looking setup.

LOL yeah I don't get that. It's not like they don't have plenty of other banners so it's not like they should be desperate to put something up. Plus they had a division banner and the Presidents Trophy (an actual thing) that year. Just seems awkward. Like maybe they were anticipating a Stanley Cup banner and had to do something with it last moment.

 

[Not So Mighty]

not a fan of hanging division or conference champs banners but whatever

I'm just glad we finally took down the "Inaugural Season" banner. Also, where's #8?

Other teams have it too. But, lolsharkschokerslolamirite??!?!?!?!?!?!..1.1.?!!?1

In case you're blind, the far left....

 

[The Panther]

I kind of wish the Oilers would lose the 'Smythe Division' (x8) / 'Pacific Division' (x1) banners. Those just seem kind of cheap to me. Conference and Stanley Cup champs, yes. Division, no.

I'd like Montreal to do exactly that with the Wanderers and the Maroons. They should be remembered and honored.

 

[Hoek]

It's even more dumb that the Wings do it. As if they don't already have enough. :p

Also I like the Sharks, didn't mean to imply they were chokers and all that. Just seems like an unnecessary extra one. The Lightning were regular season Eastern Conference champs too, but that'd look weird next to the playoffs one. I also think it's really wordy for a banner. Might as well create ones just for making the playoffs at all ("Finished Second in Atlantic Division for Playoff Berth" banner.)

And yeah it would neat if Montreal did that, kingdok. Love all the history in that arena so it'd fit right in.

 

[ecemleafs]

Still lacking one banner. Hopefully it'll be there by October 2015.

you guys gonna put up ovy's number 8 while hes still playing?

 

[garnetpalmetto]

One thing that's semi-maddening about the PNC Arena banners are the array of "temporary" banners that go up for various things. For instance in Olympic years, we'll put up banners for our players who made their country's rosters and, if memory serves, we do likewise for players who go to the All-Star Game.

It occasionally makes it a little inconsistent, photographically speaking. Also, anybody know if the following banners are still up? It's been awhile since I've sat on the South end where the banners are more readily visible.

• Thomas Thewes memorial banner
• Decennial anniversary banner
• 2011 NHL All-Star Game banner

I don't mind it, but if the league expands to 32 I would like it to change to no wild cards divisional playoffs, and the teams that win second round series get a divisional banner.
