PrintSix contestants have entered the first ever Pensburgh drawing contest and only one will win. The prize is a Stanley Cup DVD, so vote wisely. Take the jump to check out the entries followed by quick description before you make your pick. Voting ends tomorrow at 12pm, so get goin.
This is WrapAroundCurl's entry, the only known evidence of the real-life Kris Letang Stanley Cup celebration. The vibrant use of colors in the rainbow, matched by the explosive pizzazz of the unicorn, certainly doesn't detract from the Stanley Cup and token "58" bling strapped around the unicorn's neck. Wrap also wanted me to specify that they are not Starbursts over the uni's eye, but instead lens flares. Well done Wrap.
The Cheeseisblue is up next, depicting an ever classy Max Talbot in a white tuxedo following his offseason shoulder surgery. Note the player to the right, Marian Hossa, wearing his multi-team sweater with various logos etched and crossed out to signify his many stops over the past four years. Props for including buttons on Max's jacket. Nice work.
Sams_Dog takes the Stanley Cup celebration to a bar where 15 members of the team get their drink on. Unfortunately the picture couldn't be enlarged past this without sacrificing clarity (although try clicking on it and zooming). So to clear up a few points of this picture - Marian Hossa slips in during the celebration asking if anyone needs a winger while Letang and Guerin ignore him and play some hockey. Yes, that's Scuderi passed out on the bar while Max man's the remote control behind the bar to try and replay his goals over and over again (note the screen shot of the game on the TV). Way to go Sams_Dog.
Lori chose to put together a bit of a collage. Here's the accompanying description:
Iomor27 takes a jab at former Pen Marian Hossa as Sid shows off the Cup. Notice Hossa's sniffles in the third box while Crosby continues to get some sort of sick pleasure out of tempting him to touch it. I can't verify it, but this is likely a true-to-life rendition of the postgame ceremonies. Nicely done Iomor.
That does it for our entries. Be sure to vote for your favorite now. Voting ends tomorrow at noon, so don't wait on it!

Congrats and thanks to all the participants….This is almost like choosing between children.
Sams Dog is awesome though, the attention to detail is amazing.
Pensburgh.com -- it's like the Max Talbot of blogs*
*not just because we only work for 12 minutes a night
Agree with Hooks—Sams_Dog for sheer detail (and some actual drawing ability!) alone. Though I did like Lori’s ideas of how Talbot, Godard, Staal, and Kennedy celebrated!
Watched the DVD this weekend. Whoever gets it will be happy.

I am very happy.
The DVD is fantastic! I actually paid like $10 more for it because I live in NYC and had to buy it from the NHL store in Manhattan, and it was still worth it!

I live in NYC, too, but I’m too cheap to do that (“Paying retail is like admitting defeat!”), plus I’d already bought a copy for a friend’s young daughter online. So I bought mine online, too. I didn’t think I needed the DVD, but people here kept assuring me that I did, and they were so right.
My crushlet on Bill Guerin has officially become a full-blown crush thanks to that DVD. He is funny as hell. I’d cook for him, and even though I’m vegetarian, I’d use meat.
Sam’s_Dog’s drawing really is awesome. I look again and see new things in it, and I even love how he captured all the different body types on the team.

Tip for anyone in NYC: Check out Blondie’s on the Upper West (79th st i think). The owner’s from either Butler or Zelienople and they always have the Pens / Steelers games on. Quite a large following from the ’burgh there.

There’s also a good place downtown as well, around the 32/33rd street area. Can’t remember the name of the place but they had Pens stuff all over.

Oh, good tip! Thank you! I usually have friends over to watch at home (big HDTV and I love to cook), but sometimes I like to, you know, go out and let someone else cook and mix drinks for me. I’ll probably be there at least a couple times this season.

Lori and I are going to split the prize.
So vote for us because we are babes.

(1-843): just because there's a goalie doesn't mean u can't score

Well we all know our boy Brooks wouldn’t take out one of his own, so his only option really is to charge toward the door where Hossa is peeking in. I guess he figured the most useful way to use his brute strength was to help Fleury lift the Cup over his head. "Oui!"

double post? I guess I didn’t see my first one load so I just typed and posted again. That happens sometimes on this POS computer.

I loved Orpik helping Fleury lift up the Cup!

"I Won The Cup"
I had to vote for wraparound’s crazy LeTang Unicorn because it quotes (intentionally?) the awesome Stanley Cup Champions remake of the song ’I’m On A Boat.’ I listened to that song multiple times every day for a week after I first heard it. We should have a vote for favorite line from ‘I Won The Cup!’
I’m going with, ‘Eatin’ mom’s Russian soup cause it’s dee-lish’
I’m glad Sam’s taking it down handily…any other outcome would have required a Minnesota like recount….
