It’s not even the corporate logo anymore!! Orca Bay is long gone with the McCaw era which makes it even more weird to me that we keep using it.

Cool trailer for NHL 25.

i absolutely love the new modern take on the skate
getting rid of the white for the black jerseys makes it look meaner

Oh hell yeah that's it! That's what makes it WORK

Compared to the original (well this is a modern rep but a good picture):

It's funny how tastes/fashion come full circle.

I remember when we transitioned away from this jersey people thought it looked dated and ugly, a very 80's aesthetic that wasn't appealing when we made the change in the mid 90's to the Orca.

Now we love the old design, and see how sick it looks.

I think the small modernizations of it went a long way, if it still had the white etc or if we used the white skate as the away sweater I don’t think people would feel the same lol

Ice crew installed the ice at Rogers Arena.
Orca Bay logo at centre ice looks cleaner than the previous one.

Nice ... Play Now advert ...:heckno:

Prob just have to get used to it ... Bet360, Play Now ... it's everywhere !!!

Interested in DP world :ifyouknow:

I agree.. When I first saw the new black skates I couldn't believe how good they looked. I was such a hater back in the day lol

But I never really thought of WHY they looked so much better. Pointing out that they dropped all the white and cleaned it up a bit helped it make sense.

Lol I never realized Keanu Reeves was a Goalie before, a starter at that and was supposed to tryout with the Windsor Spitfire back in the day. He signed a one day deal with the team. Maybe he can come in as our backup.

i was thinking about how this current skate jersey would work in white away colours...and it just absolutely doesn't look menacing at all.

then saw a photo on twitter about a white skate mockup


yea no thanks... even though this is just one take on it

That one would be harder to pull off.. Maybe do the rink logo for away?

Still better than the corporate logo whale though

I prefer the whale and dislike the rink.... Though I do like the black skate.

The whale is more about continuity than anything at this point. I think it’s probably the best logo we have still regardless.

I now know your go to spankbank genre.

Welcome to the team.

The whale has been in use longer than the skate. The colors and the orca are actually fitting for us. While I like the black skate as a Third/Alternate, the whale should stay as the primary. Entire generations of kids/fans have grown up with it. I can't even imagine the Sedins in anything other than the whale.

Reminded me of this...............

I really hope that this doctor is wrong about Demko’s injury:

Just put Demko on LTIR, and then get him to come back when playoff starts. lol.

Isn't that exactly what they did last year? I mean they didn't have him LTIR for the WHOLE season but he came back one or two games before playoff and then he pulled something and reinjured himself.

Not sure how true it is, but lots of rumours that Johnny Gaudreau has been killed in a car accident of some sort???

he's in his hometown for his sister's wedding tomorrow and the accident occurred minutes away from his family home. if it's true, that's very sad.

what's crazy is that someone said it on reddit as a comment, that Gaudreau and his brother got hit by a car while on their bikes, before the first news report of 2 cyclists being killed.

if any family, friend, or teammate even messaged or talked to him once in the evening, i'm sure someone would've said "no, it's not true, i just talked to him". so, the fact no one's said a damn thing, doesn't look good.

for someone to make up the story, they'd have to have known about the cyclists being hit by a car before anybody else, and then decide to say it's Gaudreau. but why...?

it's been like 6 hrs now since the rumors starting to surface...
Still no confirmation...

Everyone in the East coast still not awake to disprove this?
:suspicious:
