First off, it was amazing how so many different people requested the same people.
We were going to conduct a poll of all the entries, but there were just too many.
We went through them all as the most objective people alive.
This is what we came out with.
We reserve the right to change this lineup throughout the season.
Because these are pictures on the internet.
Doc Holliday
PC
Captain Ahab
Al Borland
Ponch
Howard The Duck
Marc Summers
Mel Gibson from RANSOM
Dr. Grant
Creed
PS
Reading Rainbow Guy
MIYAGI
Carl Winslow / Al Powell
Donkey Lips
Grimace
Jimmy Chitwood
[Sick]
Yokozuna
*We will whittle these selections down to a crucial 6 or 7 before October 4th.
We also reserve the right to kill anyone off during the season and add clutch performers.
Not listed here are the veterans from last season who have yet to report to camp.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
It's official. And people ain't happy. [ Icethetics ]
WAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
We like what [ Icethetics ] does, but honestly some of the people over there are the whiniest people this side of Ranger fans.
We're not gonna re-check those comments, but honestly,
no one used the "at least they won something in 2008" line?
Hacks.

wouldn't be the FIRST time they whined over at Icethetics
I am claiming to be the first to suggest Doc Holliday. Dispute it or give me my props.
The addition of Creed is inspired. I read his blog every day.
Nobody can stop the Grimace!
With that set of rookie 'inspirations'....tPB is not making the playoffs.
LeVar Burton???
Really???
Milan Kraft would inspire me more.
The reading rainbow guy is a solid pickup. I'm still holding out hope that you'll reconsider and pick up NPH before the trade deadline.
carl winslow can fuck people up, especially those who doubt the power of 3 penguins
btw... where in the world is Alex P. Keaton on this list?
and my votes for the inspirations:
an absolute yes to Yokozuna. When you talk big (no pun intended) WWF heels of the 90s, you talk Yokozuna. He did kill Hulkamania, so does have that going for him. I was gonna suggest that he could have Mr. Fuji throw salt in Hossa's eyes...hmm, even Fuji by himself would have been a good nomination.
Doc Holliday: Yes, no further explanation needed.
Al Borland: Nah. Did mop-up duty for Tim Taylor. Besides, if he's used to playing 2nd fiddle for Tim Taylor, he might as well sign with Tampa Bay where the other Tim Taylor is. I think he's some sort of rep for the Lightning now.
Mel Gibson from Ransom. If, and only if it's Ransom and that it requires Mel to shout any motivational responses.
Miyagi is all business in that pic. I couldn't possibly say no.
Anybody not listed means I am leaning between indifferent and no.
phil collins, who sucks ass, and no batman, reg dunlop, or the ultimate warrior. some of these guys were mentioned twice if they are lucky. this is a lineup worthy of only the worst teams in the league. horrible choices. we're drafting like the pirates now. way to speak the truth doc.
Donkey Lips or Doc Holliday, most definitely.
I can see it now, Ovechkin on a breakaway, just number 8 and Fleury, Ovechkin skates in and Doc pops up infront of Fleury, "I'M YOUR HUCKLEBERRY," sick sprawling poke-check.
Go Pens.
The musician selection is dump...
Did anyone else send in Marc Summers or Patrick Swayze? I sent in this, but it looks like someone else was thinking along the same lines. Whodunnit?!
Looks like my grandpap needs to go back to the nursing home.
So is it too late to make more suggestions for next season?
I nominate Fabio after he got blasted in the face by that bird while on the roller coaster. Talk about taking one for the team.
[url="http://www.cnn.com/SHOWBIZ/News/9903/31/showbuzz/fabio.birdstrike.jpg"]Ouch.[/url]
Normally I'd vote no on Phil Collins, but he is all business in that picture.
doc holliday - yes
phil collins - hella - gay
ahab - no
al borland - weak, too soff
ponch - intriguing, but only if paired with charlie
howard the duck - no
marc summers - maybe, if used sparingly
mel gibson - no, he's a lunatic
wait, maybe if you used his mugshot
dr. grant - maybe
creed - i love creed, it would have to be for some crazy shit though
ps - no
reading rainbow guy - brings nothing to the table
miyagi - indifferent, whatev
carl winslow - indifferent, could do better
donkey lips - hooked up jumper cables to his nipples, yes
grimace - on the fence, leaning towards no, hamburgler is better
chitwood - no
yokozuna - no
batman, ultimate warrior, reg dunlop, rowdy roddy pipper in "they live", they all want tryouts. not to mention they were all mentioned more than these jokes. if we need a musician, ted nugent is nuts. i vote him. and his spirit of the wild.
I screwed up the link, and I am too lazy to care. Job if you must.
Speaking of fantastic mugshots, no Nick Nolte?
james brown's mugshot too.
Gary Busey? His mug shot is sweet.
By the way, whoever was asking about Shinola, did read the reply?
Jimmy Chitwood is a beast. Solid pick.
Andy Dick's mug shot. He is hella crazy.
This Guy?
And...
This Guy.
Mugshots???
this mugshot is for yinz: Max + dan.
Have a Nice Weekend!
Yeah, I got the shinola reply. Now I know the difference. Thanks.

hahaha thanks doc!
neil pert is a beast of epic proportions.
Al Borland.
@ dr t
I can't view those links because of big bro editing my web viewing pleasure
Dan = smartest person alive.
The only one worth a damn is Mr. Miyagi.
Shoulda thrown in some Kurt Russel as Herb Brooks. Maybe the JBR diamond whore too.
i defer smartest man alive to him
yes, we need him on our team.
but thank you for your consideration
Grimace dudes. Nuff said.
Signing Doc Holliday was huge. I can see it now on 10/28.
You're no daisy Hacksaw.. You're no daisy at all!
WHERE IS JOHN McCLANE?
He saved the Nakatomi Plaza, by himself.
but dan, James Brown Is Dead
you talk kurt russel you talk big trouble in little china!
Creed is going to be a surprise superstar.
he sure is, and so is doc holliday
oh ya cblog fantasy hockey
email inmyrvm@yahoo.com if interested.
must continue whoring this out, sorry
wow...they posted my jimmy chitwood. he won't win a game now.
max...
mugshot #1 is a spray paint huffer with sparkly/glittery gold 'evidence' on the bottom .3333 of his face.
mugshot #2 is a guy arrested for DUI who is sporting an I ♥ MIDGET PORN tee-shirt.
j.s...
is that a Techno song reference?...I know I have that on a remix tape at home somewhere.
Creed when sporting black shoe polish hair = classic.
Did anyone mention that Fonzie is employed again?
[Aaaayy!]
Damn it. Now I realy want to see those pics. If anyone knows where Esplen is near the city. Huffing shit = their poison of choice.
Ugh, tropical storm's coming tomorrow (although Williamsburg and Hampton Roads will get it worse than we do here in Richmond). But will I get the day off so I don't have to swim to work? Highly unlikely. Might have to stick to the higher city streets.
I am all for Doc Holliday, because Tombstone is one of the finest movies ever made.
Donkey Lips is a solid backup, but I'm amazed nobody said anything about Captain Ahab yet. He pilots a ship bent on revenge and the destruction of something. I can see Crosby captaining a ship bent on the revenge and destruction of Hossa and the Wings.
Anyone who disagrees with the choice of Phil Collins clearly missed how big of a factor he was throughout the remainder of last season and the playoffs.
Solid pick Staff.
You people hate the Carl Winslow and Al Borland selections? I've lost all faith.
Except the problem with Ahab was that he failed to destroy what he was hunting and killed everyone with him in the process. Kind of like the Marino-era Penguins.
@ Pops : Details, details...haha.
@ Pops
I'll bet you 10 Sagay Galindos it doesn't end up being that bad.
Usual Suspects is on AMC. It's definitely not the same on TV.
Keyser Soze would have been a good nominee.
Turk, that is a techno song reference. I used to have a CD-5 of it with about 10 different versions of it.
Best Ponch pic
work is boring
I think you should consider using the Mel Gibson from 'Payback' rather than the Ransom Mel. Had more of that 'good-badguy-I'll kill my way to the top for my 65 grand' thing going....
At least the State Library is perched way up on the hill, so if this one shakes out like Gaston, I won't be washed down Broad Street.
I got lucky and missed out on Isabel. My wife was still at U of R then and ended up spending a week with me in Lynchburg when they evacuated the campus.
By all accounts this one's moving too fast to be anything particularly bad beyond a couple inches of rain and some wind. Might make for a messy commute, but since I'm headed downtown on a Saturday, there won't be too many other fools out on the road with me.
Cheers. And we need the rain.
And Robert, I see your Sagay Galindos and raise you 10 of Jim Duncan's toupees.
Winslow is gay in real life.
Gay Cops exist?
a hard on for justice
jared
I rescind that, wikipedia tells me otherwise and in the words of michael scott
"Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject, so you know you are getting the best possible information."
Can we vote Grimace off the island? He has traumatized me since childhood.
And I love Lavar Burton! Reading Rainbow is a staple. :-)
I don't know who to vote for. Nobody wows me. Suppose I'll send love to Geordi LaForge cause he could fix anything.... only cause Captain Picard isn't on the list.
We got married in Greensboro, NC the day after Isabel...most of our Richmond pals didn't make it.
Gaston...different story. My basement was a swimming pool.
And Pops, why don'cha make it interesting and throw a couple Casey Nicholsons my way.
How about a Tara Morgan or three, Robert?
Someone call a Waaaaaaaaaaaah!bulance!
And the rain is starting to wander in. Make that two godawful commutes thanks to Hanna.
Al Borland, Mr. Miyagi and Jimmy Chitwood have my vote for sure! Those guys are clutch. I think we should throw in White Goodman.
Big Trouble in little china = amazing...
don't forget about captain Ron.
And one of the many emails that has come my way this afternoon is one announcing that the Hurricanes are introducing their new 3rd jersey on the 10th.
Sometimes I think God is teasing me.
Even though this has nothing to do with the post:
My brother playing NHL 09 Demo on PS3: "Who the hell is Kris Beech and why the fuck is he on this game he's terrible."
JOBBED.
I met Ashley Swann at a Richmond Magazine event here awhile back...girl's got legs like toothpicks.
if we cant get the ultimate warrior now, i wouldnt be surprised to see his name floating around before the trade deadline.
Howard the Duck could work. he brings the skills of Quak Fu to the table. and didnt he bang Lea Thompson?
[expect more]
Kathleen Edwards and Paul Coffey FTW!
I don't normally like country music much, but I do like her a lot, even if it weren't for the video.
As for GameDay inspirations, I think we should have gone with Edmond Dantes... he gets rich, gets his revenge, and gets the girl.
I mentioned this awhile back but...
If someone happens to give you a gift card for MLB.com and you don't see anything you like (which is likely here with the amount of disgust over the Bucs) you can click on "Fan Shop" and get NHL stuff.
At first glance it looks like they only have about six thing to buy but if you click on one of them you can find other shirts, jackets, etc.
I've had a gift card for MLB.com since Christmas that I had yet to use.
I just put it to good use digging around and findind this gem.
wow that video is creeptastic! mcsorley better be careful where he puts his illegal stick.
as for the prospects, def no to phil collins. he lost too much money to his ex wife.
finally as for the center ice contest, bitch bitch bitch. what did they expect? penguin fans not to vote? just cause they don't have an awesome fan base in aug-sept isn't our fault.
of course there's gay cops, but they already posted a pic of Ponch.
Hehe, I thought it was kinda cute. We saw it on TV in our hotel in Toronto when we went a couple weeks ago. It was awesome to wake up in the morning, switch the TV on, and seeing hockey-related features and talk in August that was actually interesting.
And I forgot to say I fully support Lavar Burton and Donkeylips. Those shows were a big part of my childhood.
bng66 - Nice find! I think I found a new shirt
HEY YOU GUYS!!!!
DO IT.
i noticed mlb has custom name/number tshirts. the nhl needs to get on board with this, otherwise i will have to get a #11 staal pirates tshirt...
btumpak said...
carl winslow can [taffe] people up, especially those who doubt the power of 3 penguins
That reminds me, can tPB official illustrator Slesinski do up a mural of a viking on a sled being pulled by three muscular penguins (birds not players, that would be gay)...? The viking could be Therrien or Shero.
I need to butch up my Blazer with some art.
was peeking around the house im staying at in The City and found a jag and corvette in the garage..
WWFBD.
geno, take the jag!
is there going to be a poll for the finals?
Givemebackmyson!
Maybe if the Oilers had fans they would have had a better showing in the finals at Icethetics.
jefe...
take the vette down Lombard St....backwards!
Then wait for Nash Bridges, Steve Keller or Mike Stone to read you your rights!
j.s....
+ 10, you superstar!
[Chica Chica]
Although I'm sure I've seen a picture of the "real" you on Facebook, J.S. ---
You're still Max from the commercial like your picture was oh so long ago.
ahhahaaha
time to beer.
Dr. Grant, Doc Holliday, and Mel Gibson...those would all be great.
Hi everyone!
You wouldn't think when you quit your job you would actually have less time to read pensblog but it's true!!!
Apparantely when you aren't sitting in front of a desk all day bored out of your mind, you find it harder to browse the internet!
Who woulda thunk??????
Glad to see BnG with the wise words. Anyone who wasn't present or doesn't remember feeling it coming in the air should be quiet! PC has my vote.
In the Air Tonight is a song about a guy who sees his parents' killer in a bar one night and follows him out at closing time and cold-heartedly let's the dude drown to death for revenge purposes. (Oh yeah, the bar was near water or something.)
And that guy's name was Phil Collins.
If you don't believe me, look it up. (I'll be done correcting the Phil Collins wikipedia page in a few minutes.) Bottom line: Don't mess with the singing/drumming orphan.
phil collins did look cool in the "land of confusion" video.
Creed! I'm so stoked.
No Love For Scott Stapp or Chuck Norris?
If Doc Holliday isn't used, there will be murders.
Just sayin', staff.
"I have two guns, one for each of you."
Also, I'd rather have Egg Shen then Mr. Miyagi anyday.
Dude's got a Six Demon Bag.
Scott Stapp? Inspiration?
That guy is such a tool that Craftsman wanted to buy the rights to market him.
Could we please refer to "The Reading Rainbow Guy" by his proper name? I speak, of course, of Kunta Kinte.
Or Toby if you are going to be a dick about it.
Last minute entry:
Artie, THE STRONGEST MAN--IN THE WORLD! from The Adventures of Pete and Pete.
YES, they used Donkeylips.
I win. haha
Turkleton got me on the YTMND site and I found this...
http://piecesofrick.ytmnd.com/
Love it...
Carl Winslow is also the cop in Die Hard, perhaps same character in bizzaro universe. pic of him on walkie talkie to "Roy"?
Ok, Scott Stapp may be a reach...
tony: forgot to tell you on FB. i LOVE the Obama ps.
new post btw if anyone didn't notice
gotta cut gibson out of the lineup, no anti-semites please
I'm voting Mr. Miyagi.
Instead of Mel Gibson, then, let's have a Mel Gibson CHARACTER, like say...Maverick.
Genius. There you go.
Dude. No joke. I met Marc Summers last year when he came to my school. He said "You guys have THE BEST LOOKING GIRLS ON ANY CAMPUS." We then had a impromptu Double Dare show, and unfortunetly, there wasn't a Huffy bike for a prize. Just an ass slap from Summers.
Ahab provides solid veteran intensity. Dude wasn't stable, but was willing to throw down with God one-on-one.
man, i've been meaning to make an account recently...but then i saw al borland...and i had to say keep Al!
*does tool time salute*
Fuck Mel Gibson. He's a psychotic racist. Get him out of the line up. He sucks and so does that shitty movie Ransom.
the reading rainbow guy is also Geordi La Forge from star trek next gen
How about the Numa Numa Guy?
Carl Winslow ftw.
The man had a gun and managed to never shoot Steve Urkel. *snort snort* Did I type thaaaaat? It shows patience and self-restraint in times of anger, which is truly inspiring.
Mr. Miyagi and Grimace!
