The Fellowship of the Wings?

Okay, so maybe this is meant to poke fun at the Wings, but I got good laugh out of it anyway.

These guys have shown they’re a “team” in the highest sense (a fellowship, if you will), so in some ways it’s an apt comparison. Still, let’s hope they’re on their way to gain a ring, rather than to “destroy” one (to carry the analogy further).

As for the Photoshop work there, it’s pretty good. If you know anything about the movies, the creater made some interesting choices with their Red Wing-to-character placement (see original). I’m just trying to identify the little Wings on the right and left. I see Lang and Maltby, I think, but I can’t tell who the others are. Any ideas? (via. Jes Golbez).

    is that Babs as Arwen? Hilarious!

  2. Mark says:

    That is truly hilarious!! I'm enjoying your blog immensely. Go WINGS!!!

  3. Matt Saler says:

    Yeah, Tom, that's Babcock. And there's Chelios as Galadriel. He'd probably soak it up like he did in Vancouver in 2002.

    Thanks, Mark!

    I don't know the character names but I think that might be Kronwall next to Maltby. It is pretty funny! I saw one from some Calgary fans that was based on Blades of Glory that was pretty funny too.

    Gotta love Photoshop!

    I think the character undearneath Chelios and to the right of Dom is Bertuzzi, everyone else is out of focus because I only have dial-up internet access lol.

  6. Justin says:

    Hahaha OK I don't know any of the LotR characters but I'll try my best to identify each one.

    Lidstorm, Zetterberg, Babcock, and Hasek are obvious.

    That's Chelios in the gown with long hair.

    Holmstrom holding the bow.

    Cleary with the axe.

    I don't think that's Bertuzzi blowing the horn. Bert's head has a different shape. I think it may be Lang.

    The three tiny heads to the left are really blurry and hard to identify. I think that's Kronvall on the right.

    The other two I have no idea. You guys said Maltby though so I guess he's one of them.

    BTW, the "see original" link isn't working properly.

  7. Matt Saler says:

    Okay, I can see Cleary and Kronwall now. That leaves the guy on the left below Babcock's chin and he looks unidentifiable. Oh well.

    Thanks for pointing out the bad link, Justin. I've fixed it.

  1. [...] is in good shape healthwise. In more entertaining Red Wings-related info, Matt over at On the Wings posted a hilarious photoshop of the Lord of the Rings movie poster that features the Red Wings. Brett [...]
