Meet Raffi Roenick (and other NHL mutants)

2395727729_76bf832e11_medium

This is Raffi Roenick. He was created on The Island of Doctor Moreau (Ethan's dad) and has some serious company among the legions of NHL mutants on this here Flickr page.

Here two of Dr. Moreau's more brilliant creations:

Two snipers, two goons — two superstars that can fight? Either that or Jaromir Brashear and Marian Parros fight like Jagr and Gaborik and score like Brashear and Parros.

Not all of Dr. Moreau's creations turned out this well. Evgeni Ricci scares children in the neighbourhood when he's let out of the basement.

Hah! These are awesome. My favorite, besides Evgeni Ricci, is probably Martin Laraque.

I wonder

if everyone’s favourite rumourmonger will be seeing some of this pics and reporting them as e5s. “Sundin has shocked the world by not only signing with the Thrashers, but by finally deciding to grow and dye his hair!….(also, a source tells me Forsberg to the Sens, he likes how he looks in their jersey (e3)”

Oh my god those are terrifying.

And so funny they have given me the hiccups from laughing! :)
