I agree with this 100%. Would be so awesome.

I think I like reminding everybody on HFboards that our team has 21 straight years in the playoffs.

[Shoalzie]

I've enjoyed doing this over the years but Doc is ready to take this and run and bring some new energy and creativity. Good luck to ya!

Thanks to Shoalzie and Doc, these have been awesome over the years and this year's concept is going to be fantastic!

I never expect you to, Bob. Like I said earlier, I read OP and just posted the first thing that popped into my head. It's clearly a horrible idea. Thanks.

[Winger98]

[RedWingsNow]

Legal to Drink: From the Cup?

Now We're Legal

April 4th, 1991. Was against St. Louis, and the Blues won the series in 7 games.

And I just realized he already had that DOB in the photo. WHOOSH, Bench, whooosh.

Yeah that would be outstanding. Really like the DOB and the LEGAL TO DRINK part. You're off to a great start Doc.

[SirKillalot]

You know, if there are any black aces. They have to have fake ID's

[Bench]

Spitballin' format ideas.

Frame 1
Player photo: Lidstrom. Caption reads, "Nick's drink of choice?"

Frame 2
Drink picture: Captain Morgan (Lidstrom). Caption reads, "Legendary times."

Frame 3
Red Wings: Old enough to drink.

Frame 1
Datsyuk. "Pavel's drink of choice?"
Frame 2
Russian Standard "He set the standard."

Etc.

I'd feel bad for missing it, but I didn't know the date in the first place.

This could work. Would have to make it clear while reducing the amount of frames.

Possibly a little long, but a good idea.

[19 for president]

Could do 1st MIP, 2nd MIP etc over the drinking pics for each of the cup wins, and then end with the drivers license

[JmanWingsFan]

Would Helm's favorite be Bud Light? You know, with the catch phrase of "here we go"?

[newfy]

this is good I was gonna suggest a drinking or vegas theme so I'm happy everyone else is down for the drinking one

ALE-bdelkader?

Corona Emmerton?

I think a picture of that diving goal Drew Miller had on that breakaway with Miller high life would be good

I'm calling Dan Cleary as my picture somehow related to newfy screech fellas, hope noone minds lol

[MissNHL]

For the mug shot idea, you can use their yearbook pictures from this year. Only one you wouldn't have is Quincy.

Really? Miller Lite...not high life.

Actually have a signed Red Wings Miller Lite can signed by him. He loved it and said he never signed one before.

If you do go with something like that, and the brands, you can do grey goose for Nyquist.

Kind of OT, but I was born April 10th 1991.

I'm worried something bad might happen the day I die. :O
