Rinne statue proves that statues actually can look like the players

[BMann]

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

There are plenty of great contemporary sculptors in bronze or marble. They're just not commissioned to make sculptures of sportspeople. The Industrial Revolution in terms of art has been an inspiration for many. Aa has the rise in urbanisation. Take Bellows ir Martin for instance. The artists are out there just that the fad is to hype the mediocre to the forefront.

Status for Rinne but none for Ingram?

All I can say is

Why????

Love statue threads. I always bring this one up as worst of all time, not close (Brown's comes close).

They eventually fixed it....

It looks like they actually shrank the dimensions of the pads dramatically. He looks long and lean. Goalies all look like sumo wrestlers.

Why????

Exactly. If you don't win three Stanley cups how can you even be proud of anything that happened? You shouldn't build any nice buildings or parks unless you've successfully invaded a neighboring nation.

Someone tell me that the Dustin Brown statue is just a joke.

I mean. I know he got a statue (that's an entirely different point of conversation), but that has to be a Photoshop right?

Never mind that it looks like he has 3rd degree burns. The likeness is pretty good.

It looks pretty cool.

I'm okay with having a statue like this, it's history after all, but maybe there should be an informative plaque attached to it explaining the monstrous crimes committed by the franchise of signing Granlund and waiving Tolvanen

Why did they give Rinne a statue?

This. For all the hate the Kings get for Browns statue, at least he was the captain of a cup winning team.

I guess Nashville decided a banner just wasn't enough this time

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

haha i'd say the statue is certainly "well done"
