AHL Stadium Series Concept Hartford vs. Bridgeport

Hello I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to. Now normally I don't miss every concepts being posted here, only odd ones, and this is one of them.

Oh boy where should I start. The Wolf-pack jersey is simple Stripes on the arms, hem, and even small stripes on the yoke. The logo is a wolf's head with shield that has "HWP" on it under it. Colors are blue, red, and silver.
The Sound Tigers jersey are wild in their own way. Tiger stripes on the arms, hem, yoke and even on the socks. The logo is their current, nothing much to talk about it. I used the Seattle Seahawks NFL numbers to fit this concept.

Cleveland Barons USHL Concept

Hello I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to. Over at HJC they had a Cleveland Barons ReDesign contest that I jumped in and put it together the thing is it didn't have to be part of the NHL, witch means I can slap on any leagues on this concept, so I put the USHL (United State Hockey League) patch on it, seems fitting to me. Enough yip yapping to my concept.

Now I know you look at this and say it's simple, yes it is simple but it fits the theme for this team. Red is the main color, follow by blue. The numbers are standard block with thick trim around it, and the nameplate is also standard block but without any trim. I use the Dallas Stars shoulder yoke and add trim around it to give that sharp modern look the team. The logo is just like the old NHL Barons logo but it have just one trim around the state of Ohio instead of two.

Well that's today post.  Until then I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to.

Hello I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to. As we now know that round 2 is in the books, so before my round 3 picks, I'm going to review round 2.

Eastern Conference

Boston [A1] vs. Montreal [A3]

My Pick: Bruins over the Habs 4-3

The Result: Habs beat the Bruins 4-3
I knew this series will go all the way, but didn't expect the Bruins fall apart that bad!

Pittsburgh [M1] vs. NY Rangers [M2]

My Pick: Pens over the Rangers 4-2

The Result: Rangers beats the Pens 4-3
My reaction, nuff said.

Western Conference

 Minnesota [WC1] vs. Chicago [C3]

My Pick:  Chi beat wild 4-1

The Result: Hawks beat the Wild 4-2
I did hope for a quick 5 games, but the Wild got other plans to push them to a sixth game that ended in overtime.

Anaheim [P1] vs. LA [P3]

My Pick: Ducks over the Kings 4-2

The Result: The Kings "L.A. Kinged" the Ducks 4-3
I can't, I just can't believed the Ducks fell apart that bad to the Kings, just can't believe it.


To the Conference Finals

Eastern
NY Rangers [M2] vs. Montreal [A3]
NYR: Thanks for taking not only the series from the Pens, but also take my points too.
Mon: I have to say I never thought that this team would be back in the conference finals for the first time since 2010, but here we are.
Overall: These two teams really push themselves to game 7, but the question is, how much they got left in the tank for game 7 in this series?
My Pick: Rangers over the Habs 4-3

Western
Chicago [C3] vs. LA [P3]
Chi: They got this far from all those six games series, can they slay one more dragon to go on to the Stanley Cup finals?
LA: The Kings took down the Ducks, can they take down the Hawks?
Overall: Tough call on this one, but I'm taking the Hawks.
My Pick: Hawks over the Kings 4-2

Well that's my picks, hope you all will enjoy round 3 til then, I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to.

Team Finland Concepts

Hello I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to. Nothing to yap about this week, so I got another double IIHF concepts, both the World Champions version, and the Olympics version. This time is Team Finland.

On my World Champions version I made it simple, but made it more Reebok vibe to this concept. I took the arm stripes from a Reebok template. Using the LA Kings number fonts, and the Vancouver Canucks fonts for the nameplate. The colors are light blue, and navy blue at equal. The main logo got the country's lion with "SUOMI" word mark above it, with addition of the country's flag on the bottom of the shield to complete the logo.

Base on the country's 2014 Olympics white jersey, this one I made it equal. The main logo is the same as the WC, the nameplate and numbers are the same fonts as the WC too. Just like my team Sweden concept the stupid fake lase is replaced with the country's flag. I also add the flag on the side of the pants too. Lastly more light blue, and less navy blue, the only navy blue you see is on the logo, numbers, and on the gloves.

Edmonton Oilers Alternate Concept

Hello I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to. I got a NHL concept today, an alternate concept, an alternate concept that was part of the HJC contest, a Edmonton Oilers alternate jersey concept! Let's get going shall we.

 I used the arm stripes base on my Boston Bruins concept, but with the stripes of the Oilers current set, then I spin it, and flip it to fit it nicely. I use the Dallas Stars yokes with trim around it. The shoulder patch came from the Oilers old alternate shoulder patch, but without the word mark above it. The main logo is the team's old alternate logo, well design logo if I say so myself.

Well today's post is in the books. There will be a post per week made by me most likely, as for concept contributor posts it'll be on hold until the Playoffs are over, witch means just like last year in summer with my IceHL concepts I'll be doing a weekly post of just concept contributors, mainly because I'm getting (not a lot, but) good numbers of concepts from contributors, so I decide what the hey put them together for this summer (in July) called "Summer of Contributors!" If you want to be part of this event send your concepts to ajhftw@gmail.com. Hope you all enjoy this summer, Until then, I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to.

2014 NHL Playoff Pickz: Round 1 review, and my Round 2 picks

Hello I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to. Sorry for a late post, but here I am. Well round 1 is in the books, and I got to say it's a surprising round I say, let's take a look at my review of round 1.

Eastern Conference
Boston [A1] vs. Detroit [WC2]

 My Pick: Bruins over the Wings 4-1

The Result: Bruins over the Wings 4-1
"Called it!" I knew that the Bruins have their way and keep their "A" game up, and keep the Wings from pulling an upset in this series. 

Tampa Bay [A2] vs. Montreal [A3]

My Pick: Habs over the Lightning 4-3

The Result: Habs sweeps the Lightning 4-0
I thought this was going all the way, but the way the first 3 games played this one was going to be a sweeper, until game 4 and Tampa gave it all they had, but in the end the Habs seal the deal, and moving on to the 2nd round.

Pittsburgh [M1] vs. Columbus [WC1]

My Pick: Pens over CBJ 4-3

The Result: Pens over CBJ 4-2
I'm hoping for this series would go all the way to 7, but the Blue Jackets just ran out of gas in game 6, but at least they put on a good series. For now the Pens are going to the 2nd round.

NY Rangers [M2] vs Philadelphia [M3]

My Pick: NYR over the Flyers 4-2

The Result: NYR over the Flyers 4-3
I thought the Rangers got game 6 in the bag, but the Flyers seem to put all of whats left in their tank in game 6. In the end they ran out of gas, and time to beat the Rangers. New York is going to Round 2.

Western Conference
Colorado [C1] vs. Minnesota [WC1]

My Pick: Aves over the Wild 4-1

The Result: Wild beat Aves 4-3
It was bad enough that the Wild drag on all the way to game 7, but also beating the Aves in overtime to go on to the 2nd round. Thanks a lot Wild.

St.Louis  [C2] vs. Chicago [C3]

My Pick: Hawks over the Blues 4-2

The Result: Hawks over the Blues 4-2
Right on the money! Just like last year the Hawks gave the Blues a butt whooping after being down 2 games to none. Round 2 look out the Hawks are back!

Anaheim [P1] vs. Dallas [WC2]

My Pick: Ducks over Stars 4-0

The Result: Ducks over Stars 4-2
I called for a sweeper, but the Stars somehow seem to give the Ducks a hard time in ending their season. In the end the Ducks are going to Round 2.

San Jose [P2] vs. LA [P3]

My Pick: LA over SJS 4-2

The Result: LA beat SJS 4-3
At first I thought the Sharks was going to bust my playoff bracket, but thank god the Kings came back and beat them.

Well here's my Round 2 picks

Eastern Conference
Boston [A1] vs. Montreal [A3]
Bos: The Bruins took out the Wings in five games as I call for it, the quicker the series the Bruins finish, the more tougher they get.
Mon: The Habs surprised me by sweeping Tampa in 4 games, now they are rested and ready for the Bruins.
Overall: Sadly the Bruins got this series, but Montreal will make them work for it.
My Pick: Bruins over the Habs 4-3

Pittsburgh [M1] vs. NY Rangers [M2]
Pit: The Pens had trouble with their game play, hopefully they fix their problems wisely.
NYR: The Rangers came out of game 7 so it'll be hard for them to be ready for this round.
Overall: If the Pens play their cards right, they got this series.
My Pick: Pens over the Rangers 4-2


Western Conference
 Minnesota [WC1] vs. Chicago [C3]
Min: The Wild slayed the Avalanche dragon, can they do it again with the Hawks?
Chi: Chicago is still standing, but for how long?
Overall: Wild is in the 2nd round, but this one will be a short for them.
My Pick:  Chi beat wild 4-1

Anaheim [P1] vs. LA [P3]
Ana: Hopefully the Ducks learn their lesson in keeping their "A" game up.
LA: Came back from a 3-0 to take the series, and move on to the 2nd round.
Overall: LA may came back from 3-0, but the Ducks got this series in the bag.
My Pick: Ducks over the Kings 4-2

Well that's my picks, enjoy the round 2 until then, I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to.
