Arizona has been heard from. Aaron, an A2Y reader from Phoenix and varsity Photoshop user, has provided us our fourth entry in the “Replace Fire On Ice Because It’s Juvenile, Hastily Designed and Just Plain Sucks” contest. A reminder: whoever the 8 dedicated A2Y readers determine has crafted the best graphic/slogan for the upcoming season will win a fantastic prize and an honor that is almost indescribably unique (their graphic will be prominently displayed on the A2Y front page the entire season).
Aaron’s a smart dude. He knows what causes us pain and has woven it into his graphic and his slogan. Nothing causes a family more stress than #39 be-bopping outside his crease.
Yes, let’s review.
On July 16th, HockeyinHD submitted the first entry…stick figures, sloppy, childish humor: all perfect for an A2Y contest.
Matt Schwartz is a talented guy. The brains behind Let’s Go Wings, the graphically brilliant Wings site frequented by the upper crust Wing fans…not the juvenile, slapstick humor types who come to this place. He decided to show off on 17 July.
A week later Pete from Yzerman Is God took the contest to another level. He recognized our weakness and preyed on it.
There you have it, our four entries to date. Can you do better than these? Probably not. Better than the Wings’ crack PR staff? Definitely.

Great Idea OWN. Maybe even a little “...Hes a little runaway”
Quick and dirty entry (the best kind). See what you are keeping me up at night doing IWO?

About Abel to Yzerman
Welcome to Abel to Yzerman, a Red Wing blog since 1977. No other site on the internet has better-researched, fact-laden and better prepared discussions than A2Y. Re-phrase: we do little research, find facts and stats highly overrated and claim little to no preparation. There are 19 readers of A2Y. No more, no less. All of them, except maybe one, are juvenile in nature. Reminding them of that in the comment section will only encourage them to prove that. Your suggestions and critiques are welcome: .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
