Reign in Blood.

Remember a while back, Greg and the lads over at Puck Daddy put on this great contest in which they had people photoshop Big Gary in all sorts of awesome scenarios. I was pleased as punch to say the least. Anytime you mix the creativity of a hockey fan, with the douchliness of an anonymous Internet stalker, the results almost always make hay

That being said, they are at it again. This time it's time to re-work some old cards, and it has already produced some classics. I have stolen them, and posted my favs here. Why? Because it's easier than actually writing a post myself.



This masterpiece took me off guard at first. I didn't expect to enjoy some light Malarchuking. It has always been a HD staple.



This is perfect because it's along the same lines, but a little more obscure. Zednick is the Black Flag to the Malarchuk's Rolling Stones. I'm confused as well.



And we round it back out with some "Slit Malarchuk". Are you kidding me? GOLD. I plan on thieving some more of these as soon as they are posted. There are more over there, so you should run off and check it out. Go ahead. GO.

All work and no play makes Patrick a dull boy



This is the 1994-95 Pinnacle Sylvain Turgeon hockey card. What is so special about that you ask? Well, you see that dopey looking kid above the the rainbow, in the Sabers Jersey, on his Dad's lap? That's the NHL Rookie of the Year, Patrick Kane.

This is either just a happy cool coincidence, or the precursor to an epic blood bath like in the Shinning, where at the end of the movie the camera slowly pans into that old photograph to reveal that Jack Nicholson was there the whole time. And just to add to the madness, Kane is staring at Dale Hawerchuk, another Calder winner. If I was Doug Bodger, I would get the hell out of there, shits about to get firestarty.

Also, I have to give props to Sean Leahy's Going Five Hole, as when I tried to find a picture of this card, the google search led me to his blog, where he had done this same basic post like a month ago. Why am I always the last to know everything around here?

D.O.A. Would probably like these.



So you may have read about this on a more popular hockey blog already, but Get High On Hockey is now offering sweet Punk Rock hockey card buttons for sale on the cheap. This surprises me for a number of reasons all which are the fact that I thought I was the only person in the world that even knew about Get High On Hockey. It's a great blog about hockey cards, and more importantly, why the shittiest ones are the sweetest.
