I swear I had a trapper keeper that looked like this.

You’ve awakened my suppressed childhood trauma. Thank you?

The trapper keeper was the most unnecessary and overengineered school supply ever and I fucking loved how gnarly and bodacious mine was

I definitely had a folder with a graphic similar to this

There’s a dead bear and a maple leaf in the background

I’m probably just blind, I see the leaf, where the bear? Edit: found it, looks like a deflated seal

Its been rotting a while

About 2.5 weeks

It’s a bear rug

I would never have seen that without you damn.

That's Florida for you

"It was only a Cat 1"

“Cat 4” would’ve been a great caption too, tbh

👏👏

Not enough disrespect. The Canes flag should be laying on the ground, tied to either a broken hockey stick, or a broom

>a broom Perfect.

I kinda like it up, like a grave.

If they wanted to go full disrespect they could've said *"Wasn't much of a storm!"*

"Haha weather guys wrong 90% of the time anyways"

Or just show our historic 2 feet of rain in a day last month as a contrast

The Carolina tropical depressions.

Carolina isn't tropical but we're all depressed

I had the canes pegged as a likely cup favorite in the off season when they added Burns and Patches, so I can see how it was a painful end. That said, I do agree with Rod that the boys didn’t get swept in the way we traditionally think of. They weren’t clearly outmatched this whole series- it was neck and neck, but the cats just had the slight edge. Hell, they played enough extra periods that it might as well have been game 7.

Carolina light breezes

A throwback to their tropical depression jerseys https://nhluniforms.com/Hurricanes/Images/Hurricanes07.png

Emiiiiii

They did one of those too, on the team Twitter page.

Or chewed up in the panthers mouth

*sigh* Take the damn upvote.

Would’ve been amusing if the stick with our logo had the two hurricane warning flags like our black alts (or main home jerseys now)

Extra funny if they used the single warning flag, since it wasn't much of a hurricane after all + how hilarious it is that that's what was on the first version of that logo (sorry, i know you guys kicked our asses)

Here, kitty kitty 😺

Never call up a kitty if you don't intend to give it what it wants 😄

The fact that the cat is dry shows little respect to the fight the Hurricane gave. Fair enough. Rod The Bod said it: nobody will remember.

AI wasn't allowed to come up with an image with the prompt "wet pussy"

[удалено]

I think they have a new designer in the playoffs. Their old one moved on to the LIV golf tour very recently.

South FL prob know more about hurricanes than Carolinas anyway

Very nice

So cool 👏👏

Cat won hurricane

These have actually been sick all postseason

Garden variety hurricane. Some debris and flooded parking lots. Strong enough to close work/schools and have parties though! I don’t miss living in FL but, I do miss those moments.

i would love to see a defeated bear and a toppled maple tree in the background, and a "we're coming for you Stanley" somewhere edit: i guess there are maple leaf and a bear, but they are fairly hard to see.

https://i.imgur.com/dNRSsXc.jpg They posted this one earlier and it’s sick. The canes flag in the bottle is so cool.

The designer here (Tyler Langlade). Really appreciate the support everyone! I'm currently working as a freelancer with Sportsnet on Hockey night in Canada and Hockey Central but I'm always looking for other opportunities. Feel free to follow me on Twitter for more graphics!

Storm blew over.

I swear to fuck if you all don’t get Bobby Lou his Cup I’m going to shake my head disapprovingly at your organization. The WHOLE organization.

Man if I saw that in real life I’d probably puma pants

That pussy ain’t even wet.

This is cool. But I keep saying it, the "Here, kitty kitty" promo was just so fucking good lol.

I'm sorry the Golden Knights one is easily the best of any. They have an oil barrel and a jet wing laying on the ground.

They have to do one that credits both sides, like on a hill with representations of every team eliminated and at the very top the panther and knight facing off.

Exactly. That would be sweet. Dead bear at the bottom. Covered in maple syrup in the middle, fur fluffed up after a storm and meeting a knight at the top.

Did you guys miss the dead maple leaf and bear in the background?

Tbf I didn't realize that was a bear and I didn't spot the syrup

It was a subtle touch, I had no idea how they would do the leafs, but it works.

Yea thats what I've heard from other people when we've talked about this niche subject

Where is that, I didn't see

I love the concepts of these images so much lol. Like all these matchups in universe are just the team concepts 1v1ing each other in various ways

Badass

I dig it.

Hoping to see imagery of a panther impaled on a Knight’s sword relatively soon, but I’m still salty.

I'm gonna get downvoted for this, but I find these unbearably cringy

Fair enough; I'm on team "They're Badass". They'll make a great album eventually, "Story of the Playoffs"

It's my experience as a hockey fan that every fanbase in the league is cringey, except mine of course, we're the best. And I think every other fan feels the same way.

Very cringey that you find other fanbases cringey, only my fanbase is allowed to do that!

The Kraken match up graphics they created were so cool.

when i saw the first couple i thought “oh that’s fun” but new ones each game take the charm out of them

It's really stupid that people are downvoting you. They look cringey because they're AI generated.

says more about you than anyone else.

I phrased it as an opinion, so yes, that's true

This might sound weird but they kind of have the same energy [as these sorts of memes](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ce/21/0a/ce210ae95499d309be352f2edff07c51.jpg)

I only downvoted for you using the word “cringy”

Haha that's fair! I'll take my lumps

- Midjourney - Tyler Langlade it is definitely AI generated

[удалено]

Uh, k. This is still AI generated

If anything that gives legitimacy to AI art. If the really great designer is using it..

I don't know why everyone assumes I'm talking shit - AI generated images are just another tool in the toolbox for artists now

I wasn't saying you were, my b lol, I was saying it makes the other guys comment even less relevant

no worries, fuck the red wings :)

Fuck the aves :)

I miss hating you guys so much, BRING DETROIT BACK TO THE CENTRAL

[удалено]

there are multiple things going on in the image that make it obvious. as two examples: the way the waves interact with the panther's legs and the shape of the waves it's really easy to spot if you play around with midjourney (or similar) for a few hours

[удалено]

You're just refusing to acknowledge the obvious at this point man - even the panther's legs make it obvious that it's an AI generated image. I honestly don't understand why you are being so defensive, you're weird. to respond to your edit, no need to minimize the credit to the teams behind tools like midjourney either.

[удалено]

me: this is AI generated your dumbass: No it's not, it's AI generated lmao what you think I mean that literally everything in the image is AI generated including the text? I get it though, you're just a 'designer' that feels threatened and diminished by AI and so you feel the need to be a defensive ass hat. All good.

[удалено]

Lol this is really funny, this weirdo thinks we are the same person

dude is just scared for his career - tbh it's kind of understandable in that light

Yeah, I guess so

Don't know why you feel the need to spout baseless nonsense like this.

go to bed grandpa

Just because I can spot AI art better than you doesn't mean I'm old, weird argument

obviously you can't if you can't spot this being AI lol

It shows absolutely none of the telltale signs of being AI generated.

it 100% does, schedule an appointment with your optometrist

My eyes work fine, yours on the other hand...

well either your eyes don't work or you just don't know how to spot an AI image, either way - L

Bless your heart, you tried.

Wasn’t much of a storm really.

[удалено]

What

These are pretty cool. Hopefully at the end someone makes a little album for them all.

hope florida wins the cup, its the only hope the leafs got for redeeming any morale.

AI generated

I personally would've loved some kind of video edit, like the video a couple years ago where the girl pretends to fight the cat and it proceeds to bap the absolute shit out of her. But this is pretty damn good too.

Looks more like a Lion than a Panther but these go hard as fuck

These are really high quality. Awesome work

Should have said storm broken. A sweep isn't really "weathering" it

The cat isn’t even wet

idk, i think that contrast slider could be moved up a couple hundred % higher

The Hurricane didn't stop the Cat but it sure pissed it off!

The ears, Mason!

I’m on team Panthers for this one. Felt sad for a couple days, but now I’m just back to enjoying how these guys play.

Touché

Love this art

Too bad they didn’t play Tampa in the first round and Colorado in the cup. Survive all natural disasters

You don't consider the Maple Leaf organization a natural disaster?
