Woohoo!

YES!

That one made me chuckle nice job

Nice.

i live for this time of year. im like Dallas Drake in the playoffs, the photoshop thread brings out the best in me! and its exciting to have a fresh new team to rip on. ill have something posted by game 1 for sure

great first post with "Choke"

GO WINGS!

Someone will have to go to the CBJ forum and tell them about this tradition. I would imagine they have never been exposed to this kind of thing before.

Yes! I love the playoffs. Should be some creative ones, since the Blue Jackets have never been to the playoffs before.

An interesting 'shop post involving the Blue Jackets' initials in 3...2...1...





(As clean as any reference to certain acts can be...)

I have a feeling this thread is going to be epic.

I'M SO EXCITED.

hooray,its finally time..just wish i had skills to particapate

I just wish I had the software to participate...I priced PhotoShop the other day, and was blown away by how expensive it is...but as an enthusiastic spectator, I'm looking forward to this one! That is all.

Here's my early entry

For those needing something to modify an image and not wanting to buy Photoshop http://www.gimp.org/

Love this time of year. Absolutely did not expect to face Columbus, so this is goign to be fun!

i'm picturing a movie poster featuring rick nash in the "24-year old virgin".

Yesss!!! I love this time of year!



BTW, do we have a slogan for this year's playoff run?

fixed

LMAO @ the Rick Astley picture...I work at a casino that plays elevator music nonstop, and I hear that song once a morning, without fail.

LOVE IT!!

"The Beard is Back"

I love the carry the flag one!!! I watch alot of Center Ice, and I always thought that was a stupid slogan!! The white flag of surrender is priceless!!

Ahh the photoshop war thread, this is what brought me to the boards in the first place a year ago.

I'm counting on this thread to deliver a picture of Rick Nash getting run over by a Wings zamboni with the words "Your Rick just got rolled."

Alas my skillz are limited to MSPaint.

EXACTLY my reasoning in making it. I hated seeing that during every commercial break watching Jackets games.

"Carry the Flag, Carry the Flag, Carry the Flag, Carry the Flag, Carry the Flag," Holy Moly it got stale FAST

I hope this one explains itself.

Last year's was epic, it'll be tough to outdo but I'm looking forward to this years. New opponent=new ideas.

Is that really the only trophy that entire roster has? (With that team, at least...I know Williams and Commodore have won cups) That's especially weak considering he shared that honor with Iginla and Kovalchuk that year...

Yessss someone please do this!

This.

Here ya go, hope this makes you feel better - and them worse.



Man that's pathetic.

Sicker then choke.

LMAO, While scrolling down I was actually going to suggest that, then became elated when you actually did it, truly hilarious.

I threw this together quickly, I will hopefully have some better stuff next week.

I don't get it. :-/



Nice work.

my contribution, using microsoft powerpoint and the crop button.

if someone with photoshop or better skills wants to jack this be my guest.

Hahaha this one is great. Even better since its just straight up facts.

OMG LOVE. A++++

Just made my night, I loled irl. I love Lilja's little square head.

My first one of this playoff season



Entitled: "How to shut the cannon up" or "Express lane to the country club"

hahaha damn these are great, im pretty much lol'ing at every picture. good job guys keep it up.

The funniest thing is if/when a Jackets fan comes in here they will get all puffy. Ya know since they have never been in the playoff's and all thier fans are usually playing World of Warcraft by this time in the season. Level 120 elf... YES!!!

I like this! Also the one with the Blue Jackets logo and the golf club, as well as the Fast and Furious one. You should have had Mike Babcock pull the rope with Hitchcock in the cannon.

I have a suggestion for one of you creative souls. Do you remember when Hitch had the mustache? He always reminded me of Captain Kangaroo. Can someone resurrect one of those photos and do something along those lines?

lol, that'd be good except I don't even think Photoshop will help Hitchcock fit into a cannon XD

I decided to check out what was going on after we heard from someone on the CBJ boards. Pretty cool tradition. pretty funny pictures... (i'll admit it) haha. I think you guys had a bit of ahead start on the awards though!!!

Should be a good series, obviously we are overmatched offensively, but our defense has played pretty well against you guys this year. Maybe Osgood can help us out like he did last time we played in the Joe!!! From what i hear the playoffs are different so we can throw it all out the window, but i cant speak from experience

Obviously some fans wouldnt like the pictures, but i think most of us would be pretty gracious and i think its pretty funny... maybe we can get clever and come up with some Red Wings pictures on www.bluejackets247.com.

"never been in the playoff's and all thier fans are usually playing World of Warcraft" is this what you do when hockey season is over????? i have better things to do!!

Your contributions would be much appreciated, so spread the word. Wouldn't be much of a war if the Columbus gang didn't get in on the act, now would it?

CBJ welcome! Make sure you bring some of your buddies over here. We welcome their contributions to this thread! It's a friendly "photoshop war"!

Congrats on your first playoffs!!!

Welcome. Enjoy the thrill of the playoffs man, nothing beats the adrenaline rush you get watching these games. I can't wait for Thursday!



What he said.

Hilarious.

Here is something I put together rather quickly.

Welcome! It's gotta be a thrill to be able to watch your team in playoffs for the first time ever. Its like watching a piece of history, so thats pretty cool. Its something that us as wings fans will never get to experience. Even if its our first playoff run or our lifetime its still not the same as the first playoff run in the teams history, so im pretty jealous as wings fan that fans like you get to exerpeince it first hand. With that said, it should be a pretty good series, some guys on the radio last night were "excited" about playing columbus over the ducks, saying that it should be an easy 4-5 game series. I think thats pretty much bull. Columbus to me is a prety scary team. They are pretty strong in a position that can carry your team (goalie). Nothing speaks louder to support this fact more than watching how bad we were last year with hasek and how ozzie came in and save the cup for us. Nash always seems to light us up too...so im scared about him especially with how bad our defense has been lately. Anyways should be a good series, and please bring some of your CBJ friends over here. Usually, we get quite a few guys on these boards from opponents during playoff time, and they like it so much they stick around even after the series is over and the season ends. We have a pretty good time here. Also, get your guys working on some photoshop! not much of a "war" with no opponents haha.

Awesome. Do you mind if I post that on another board (giving credit to you of course)?

You forgot the best one:

MSPaint the Wings!

Best one so far.

Pretty funny and original idea. I think we at bluejackets247.com will have to get something going to respond!

Thanks to xxgowingsxx for letting us know about this!

I would have preferred Vancouver but I think it's fitting that we, a Columubs franchise, would get you in our very first playoff series.

^^^i need this one is wallpaper size.lmfao

Oops here is the one I wanted to upload, slightly different than the first

Thanks for the welcome.... good to see some hockey fans that just want to have some fun and talk hockey rather than make fun of columbus and the jackets "what??? Columbus has a hockey team??" you dont know how many times i have heard that one!! We are a relatively new discussion forum with a lot less people, not sure if we'll be able to hang in with you guys as far as this "war" goes... but we'll get something going and at least try to come up with a few!!

i think my favorite so far was the civil war photo or Stinger on the fly paper! both made me laugh!

That Crayon one is the SH!T

Alright, I'll be the first to admit I don't get it.

"Green" because this is the first time in the playoffs? ... but I do not understand the significance of "blue", or why they need to study it?

i believe the crayon one was in reference to the fact that the columbus BLUEjackets mascot is in fact.... green. Brilliant IMO, good job everyone so far!

Yup!

Ha! Yeah, I was definitely trying to read too much into it!

My favorite peice of artwork that has come about as a result of our wars is definately one someone made against Dallas last season.

It was a picture of a border toll and it had Marty Turco in front of it. A bunch of illegal immigrants were easily running past him and it said "the real reason for the border control problem". It was excellent

good job guys, after finding out i wont get to see games 1 and 5 this cheered me up a bit

The one with Zubov, Turco and Modano riding on Mater from Cars was pretty classic as well!

Zero points for skill (), but 1,000,000 for lulz.

anybody with skills

While I work on my photoshop....my little one told me something this morning.

My favorite time of year!

DAYYYUMMMM lol OUCH

No problem i figured it was only fair to let you know there was a war against you lol. Your msg boards are hidden though lol i went to letsgobluejackets first and there are like 2 posts there lol....so google led me to you.

hahahaha....omg that is priceless

Ok, i haven't had time to make a pic yet but i just saw this vid from another thread and it's clear to me that Micheal Moore has betrayed his state of Michigan and the wings, and has become a Blue Jackets fan!

http://www.dispatch.com/video?maven_player...lObject=4318846

4th group of people, 40 seconds in. What a traitor

Quite possibly my favorite so far. Anything that makes fun of Columbus AND the Comish is GREAT!!!

Blue Jackets' Playoff Strategy

HAH! Loves it!

I'll have to dig deep into the Photoshop myself this year. I bought a brand new program in February.. time to break 'er in

My daughter doesnt like Nash either..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRY965Me_s4

Hehehehe, awesome stuff, as always.

I love this time of year!

gotta keep the tradition going

avy version

Yes, yes...these are always great...they make great wall papers on my blackberry.

Some good looking ones already, I always look forward to this time of year. Just knowing that the PS wars are underway and are good for some laughs. Keep up the great work guys and girls.

I like it...not really in the theme of the thread but definitely cool.

Current Red Wings players have 41 rings vs. the Blue Jakets' 3.
This is the only way Columbus will match them.

Paul Bearer! That's excellent!

Mike Commodore: "Babcock never respected me!"

Too great of a pic to limit to only one...

So far this is my favorite!!!!!!!!! Lets hope their prayers go unanswered!

Per Request,

Hilarious Nikita.

This one almost killed me!!!

I made it as PG as I could. Hopefully I won't get kicked. More to come.

GO WINGS

My Favorite! Especially Dats' quote. HAHAHAHA.

the slogan is the beard is back, here we grow again.

so far this thread is kinda fail

ha.

i'm enjoying photo wars so far... good tradition. we are beginners but we're getting better haha!! Some good ones so far guys!! The latest, pink version of stinger, made me laugh. here is a link to our page photo wars page. as i said, beginners, but we're learning!!!! Jackets Photo Wars page

Alright, that Franzen one at the bottom of the page made me laugh.

isn't a Blue Jacket in reference to the Civil War? Someone has to make something to do with that! Here's the theme: Detroit Red Wings defeating a union soldier or "Blue Jacket", making up for what the Confederates couldn't do! Thats the winner right there!

I was thinking the fat jokes were pretty played out... until I saw this and spit beer all over my keyboard.

You owe me for a new keyboard, btw.

I also don't get what the obsession is with bashing Detroit fans and their livelihood. Is it funny that people are losing their jobs and homes? Thats reality. Its like making fun of someone for having a terminal illness.

I like the Franzen one though.

And whats up with the gay insinuations these days. As if being gay (or a woman, for that matter) is something that makes you a bad hockey player. Ever heard of this guy name Eric Lindros? Fact: he's gay. Didn't make him bad at hockey.

I'm still waiting for inspiration to strike.

NICE!
Personal opinion: make the redwings logo in the sky white... so it meshes in with the clouds

I also enjoyed the ones showing Oz hugging Hasek and the women's hockey team.

Hey can anyone make me that target one with the winged wheel in a jpg? PLEASE

This is great. I laughed for a solid 2 minutes. Great Work!

My first attempt with gimp using your idea...hope you like it

They only have one funny one. Hey they are new comers. Espiacally since one fan said to be sure and pack the place on Saturday (referring to Columbus). Silly boy, 2-2-1. I knew they have never been to the playoffs, thats just funny.

They can all go to Nationwide on Saturday. Fine with me.

I'll throw my hat in the ring! Here's my first attempt.....

Excellent! I like how Hank always ends up being the chick on movie posters.

The Franzen one on the Blue Jackets forum made me laugh.

Well if Hudler still had his long hair, I would have used him.

The quote you are referiing to on the Jackets boards has a date on it, April 9th, we were referring to packing the house Saturday for our final home game!! We know when the games are in columbus and when they are in Detroit!

We have never been to the playoffs, but we are hockey fans and know how the playoffs work

look back a couple pages for the one that has "lilja smash" on it

LoL, poking fun at themselves...nice

Love it, Red Sea!

As a theology major, that made a little pee came out i laughed so hard. Good show!

Let's face it. He has some gorgeous locks.

Fantastic

OH. MY. GOD. That's AMAZING! <3<3<3 YAY!! Thank you!




That's because he's the prettiest.

HAHA... pretty good one with Mason carrying the team!!! but yes... hopefully he can!!!

This is absolutely brilliant and funnier than hell. So to speak!

There's so many great ones on here already and I'm sooo glad that sooo many of you know what you're doing with Photo Shop or whatever you're using.

THANKS to all of you for your hilarious and creative efforts and keep 'em coming!

Euuoo my gawwd. I just figured out that's Hitchcock and Nash on the end. It just gets better!

This is my first try but here it is.

Seinfeld references are the best. Good Work

HAHA HELL YEAH!

You nailed it! Didn't I tell you there was a resemblance?

Well done! Bravo!

Photoshop idea: What if you did a photoshop of the Alfred Hitchcock profile picture and had a black and white arm with hamburger in it? http://www.geocities.com/alcus2/hitchcock.jpeg

Some of these are pretty good, but I hope we eliminate Columbus so we can face a team with a history to draw from.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEbkCo5oZJ8

hahahah this is hilarious, I love that episode of south park so this is even better.

dude... is that a friggin swastica (sp?) photoshopped in the back one??

puckbags both of those were hilarious. Bravo. /golfclap

Pssst... it's Red Wings, and just "its". No apostrophe, unless you're referring to something owned by a specific Red Wing.

Just a pet peeve of mine- cool idea, though.

LOL...grammar police....I've had a couple of drinks...you get the point !!

www.says-it.com

ROFL. Hahahaha - that's great.

Is this one making fun of the blue jackets or is it just gay???

Option one.

It's all in good humor. No worries.

Thank you!



LOL, thanks!



There are some gems in this thread.



I was wondering if people would notice them hiding in the corner.

Oh. My. Goodness.

I just woke the kids I'm babysitting up because I'm laughing so hard. Bahahaha. GREAT work.

"How do I get past him?"
"Pray."

Hahahaha, priceless.

I found this one online, thought you guys might like to see it.

I did this one with Jose Theodore last year, but since I'm having some trouble being creative I've decided to update it to make it current:

 columbus.JPG (42.76K)

Made with Paint, I was lazy.

figured I try and spice it up some more

I always thought it made better sense like the below. Saying it the other way makes it sound like they are trying to lose.

I gotta admit, that Obama stimulus one on the BJ's board is pretty damn funny.

Obama: "The money wasn't meant for that!"

 unemployed.jpg (49.88K)

This one just hit me.

Enjoy.

I made that one.
That's your favorite "piece of artwork"?
LOL
I'm flattered.....LOL
That's a lot to live up to.

Yeah, you're right. That's funnier.

I didn't know there was another version.

Thank you! I'm glad you guys appreciate the time I put into making that. My girlfriend was yelling at me to do something productive, and I was like "Hey, I'm entertaining people. That's productive!"

Such good work! You guys always amaze me.

(If anyone is taking requests, I would love more 'ceiling cat' stuff. Last years Theodore/celing cat one is still my fave!)

Hah, nice one.

Keep 'em comin! I plan on posting at least one more later on tonight that I think you guys will like.

If Vladdy was still on the team this one would have been better and fitting but he's not so I had to go with Dan Cleary.

(re: Vladdy)

^ Classic "A Christmas Story" reference!

Sorry for my lack of skill

OMFG, you're making me cry, no joke!

lol crappy first one for the round. Once the games start I'll bust out some more photoshoppin'

Now *that's* funny.

Lack of skills? That is hilarious! Well done!

Oh my GOD. That was GREAT.

I second that, who doesn't want BJ's to go down in the first round!


hahaha.

In a time crunch right now, but I will try and work on something even better.

That one cracked me up right in the middle of class.
The person sitting next to me had to ask what was so funny.
Great job!

Awesome!!

Thank you good sir for coming up with my new Facebook status

Go Wings (In a very physically brutal 5)

The octopus decends upon you!

Hahahaha that killed me!

Best yet.

This is great stuff also, even if you are copycatting yourself. To repeat it/modify it was more than worth it! Thanks for the laughs.

My first ever attempt, its not much but i had to try something.

I am far too amused by this one! excellent work!

That's my first one, there are more to come. Your guys slay ours hard, the one about "were getting BJ's" is awesome, same with the umberger inside the hamburger one

Epic!

lol good stuff, keep em comin

Babs' smile in the last pic makes this. Nicely done.

Awesome!

This is about as far as MSPaint is gonna get me:

Make it happen, Hank!

awesome thread so far, love the photoshop...as a citizen of ottawa i hate the tamil tigers

Yea i loved the smile too haha.

Thanks for the compliments guys

Was my first ever entry over the years, might have to start contibuting more.

go wings!

HAHA that one is pretty good.

I will link to our jackets forum photo shop page again to make it easy to check out if we are keeping up!
Bluejackets247 photo wars thread

LOL I'm probably one the few people old enough on here to get this one!

my new war picture, and it's not about the economy at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What to do when Osgood decides to suck it up in the playoffs this season like Hasek was doing last year.

Love it, though it should read "Crosby, Commodore, and Nash
Then,
Still crying obstruction
Boy, I wish I had photo shop

That one made me lol. Nash looks good with that hair.

Newt Gingrich?

You're not alone, since I was the one who suggested the resemblance in the first place.

This one's good.

Watch it! You're getting good at this!

Is that BERNIE? Fuckin WIN, good sir!

This one should really be "Crosby, STAAL(s), and Nash"....

I can't remember how to post images...........



See if this works....

Hitchcock looks petrified.

BERNIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We believe!

It is indeed.

He seems quite happy on top of Masons mask, too.

I thought this board needed a bit of a rally, and then it hit me. Bernie.

BRiLLiANT!

Win!!! Make Bernie leave a deposit on his head.


edit: the best part about this one is that no CBJ fan will have any idea what this means.

nice. best yet on here.

is this though making fun of the wings, or just playing around.

found this on that jackets thread, think its pretty funny:

Q: how do you get to Joe Louis Arena?

A: turn right at the first burning car, a left at the fifth foreclosed skyscraper, a right at the dead hooker and just follow the octopus smell to the arena. Don't worry: there'll be plenty of good seats available.

Its times like these i wish Crosby wore the winged wheel...






Sorry for using the same theme as before but i couldn't let this one go. Plus i know how some members here feel a deep hatred for mr crosby

Anyway i don't mean to crosby bash, he just happened to be in the photo.

enjoy.

Thanks man, it was just playing around haha. Im implying that the wings do not even consider that the blue jackets would be in the playoffs and therefore their minds go to the gutter first. All in good fun.

btw i suggest you remove this ASAP :

Q: how do you get to Joe Louis Arena?

A: turn right at the first burning car, a left at the fifth foreclosed skyscraper, a right at the dead hooker and just follow the octopus smell to the arena. Don't worry: there'll be plenty of good seats available.

Kinda simple but whatever.

I love that the CBJ fans are now posting in here now, let's keep it funny and friendly!

Hahahahaha. That's hilarious.

Poor Zetterberg. He always gets to be the girl.

LMAO, awesome. I go to that site all the time, sounds exactly like what he would write too.

Nice work.

hahah nice one.

Could easily be describing Cleveland also....

HAHAHA, I finally laughed out out at one. If only you added something about the hooker..

Absolute win, This one, and the "We're getting Bj's the first round" have to be my top 2.

My photoshop skills don't exist... but perhaps some of the more talented people could create something with an octopus sucking the life out of a chimera? I tried in paint, but no such luck!

Who's kidding who, it could easily be describing Columbus as well. I have spent plenty of time there and it is not exactly a posh metropolis.

Credit where credit is due. This one is really funny.

Chelly-Grave's glove hand is just a little slow and his lateral movement is slightly limited, but he doesn't give any 5 hole.

avy version

quickie

Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot?

Put this together quickly. Sorry for the low quality, I'm not that good yet.

Imagine Hudler insted of Lilja...

my first I love these!

This one made me laugh out loud!




Hilarious!

YES! That's awesome!

It's probably my browser but some of these are just not showing up.

That's the only thing that could have produced that kid.

both Shamwow and the Ronald+King hybrid cracked me up!!! good ones guys!

This one only took me a min. Just a quick idea, hope you like.

 CBJ.jpg (208.11K)
: 238

Yeah, the Ronald + King just about made me cry.

I really like the Chelios one you guys made up.

WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE THE AWESOME!

hah that one is sweet

Ha, that is good!

Nash is a redwings killer -> unassisted hatty, and a hatty in a 3-2 win

Red Wings killer is reserved for playoff performances. Ya know, games that matter.

See: Adam Deadmarsh

hey, I used to be an Adam Deadmarsh fan! but now I hate the avs

btw any chance that ozzy would get in another goalie fight vs mason? how sick would that be?

F&*$%# Adam Deadmarsh!

I doubt it, but if he looks like shit again, he may just decide screw it, I gotta get the fans on my side somehow.

There won't be any fights, unless someone dares look at Johnny Ericsson cross eyed.

Must have been really easy, he even had time to change his jersey
