The saving grace about this entire ill-conceived promotional campaign is that these piss-poor creations will slowly roll-out over the course of the next month, make their appearance during this year's NHL All-Star Game festivities and then promptly be consigned to the waste-bin of sports marketing history. The chances that any of these "Guardians" will have an extended shelf-life are slim and none. This campaign is the NHL's version of MLB's Turn Ahead The Clock uniforms and logos: soon to be forgotten by all but the most die-hard of sports branding enthusiasts.

someone want to tell the NHL where edmonton is located... this is from the oilers bio

"The Oiler" is serious in a way that only a guy living on the outskirts of the most northern Canadian metropolis can be. He's gritty and tough like the roughneck oilrig workers he mostly associates with. He loves getting his hands dirty and not only doesn't he shy away from hard, physical work, he relishes it. He spends a majority of his time roaming the Northwest Territories. He's most happy when he's exploring the vast northern wilderness.

I suppose they think that Toronto is in Manitoba, too.

Whoo-hoo, 100th post in my own thread

Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

You manage to balance agitation with just enough salient points to keep things interesting. Kind of a low-rent DG_Now.

Underworld maverick of the Garden State

Somehow, the word "garden" accompanying a fire-breathing demon creature just isn't doing it for me.

"Underworld maverick of the garden state..." Hmmm, there's a mob reference in there somewhere.

Couldn't you see JD fighting mob bosses, burning capos to death with his fire breath of hell? Manipulating matter and twisting hitmen into pretzels? This s**t writes itself...

MOD DELETE: Let's focus on the relative merits of the Guardian Project heroes, gentlemen. No need to turn this into a pissing-contest based upon regional stereotyping.
