Rinne statue proves that statues actually can look like the players

[El Travo]

Why did they give Rinne a statue?

They just like celebrating things, but don't have a whole lot to celebrate.

I'm not sure if a statue for a one-time Vezina winner is worse or on par with Ray Bourque having his jersey retired by the Avs. Either way, it's pretty funny.

Perks played for them forever. Sure it’s a statue but eh. The Ray jersey retirement is still embarrassing and cringe to this day.

Retiring a player that played less than 100 games for you. Yikes.

Less cringe than seattle retiring #32 on their first ever home game.

Lol. The Romans figured out how to make lifelike statues out of stone 2000 years ago... We can't do the same with modern molds?

A statue for a guy who played a long time in your organization and whose sole accomplishment is a single Vezina seems a bit much. How big is the statue going to be if they ever win the Cup?

Lol. The Romans figured out how to many lifelike statues out of stone 2000 years ago... We can't do the same with modern molds?

Statue for a guy not even expected to make HOF?

I think there's a good chance he gets in. Vezina, runner up x2, and a 3rd place Vezina finish.

I don't think there is anything wrong about celebrating a PERSON that did a lot for the organization. Why do other fans of other teams care what teams do? It's their business and they can celebrate whatever whoever they want. I don't care, all the power to them. I think it's classy.

Man, that is the face of despair.

 

[FDBluth]

just to be clear this was a prank pulled on Ronaldo by James Corden...perhaps the only funny thing James Corden has ever done in his career btw

 

[ItWasJustified]

The romans could do bronze statues that looked like real humans 2000 years ago and this is the best we can do now? Ffs!

The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

 

[Osprey]

This is Pekka Rinne when he's 70 and survived a fire.

Exactly. It'll age well and not have to be updated after he saves all of the kids from the burning orphanage.

No, it wasn’t. He did a prank on Beckham inspired by the Ronaldo case. The Ronaldo one was just actually that bad.

oh shoot you're totally right! but I maintain that it is still the only funny thing Corden has done in his career.

 

[Pass the Saitl Sauce]

Man if I was gonna have a statue made of me I’d offer to make a cast with my own face to avoid these abortions

 

[Rich Nixon]

A statue with no championship is just sad

There are plenty of those in Tennessee and neighboring states that are much, much more egregious than this one.

 

[Claypool]

A lot of statues going up for players who will never be in the hall of fame lol

The NFL and MLB busts are pretty good, so it can be done.

 

[Bowski]

Hoping the SJ Evgeni Nabokov one turns out just as nice.

 

[IamNotADancer]

I'm gonna say it, no regrets... We are making way too many statues of way too many people who in the grand scheme have not done very much to warrant a f***ing statue.

 

[Sempiternal]

Very nice, but a McDavid statue would be cooler.

 

[Conbon]

 

[hirawl]

Nothing like the good old statue police go full on melt down. Hilarious shit.

 

[Aurinko]

It's okay, posture is a bit weird though

I think the posture is spot on, I think the it looks exactly like Rinne.

 

[Shrimper]

Would look better with a yellow Jersey
