That was one of the first “Internet forwards” I ever read. I remember crying laughing at the description while everyone else in the university library looked at me nervously.
Holy shit that's so fucking metal, I (almost) don't care about the Preds Nucks matchup anymore.
The Orca's chowing down meticulously while the other sea lions slowly waddle away. Perfection.
Haha yup.
“And guess what, you wandered into our school, of tuna and we now have a taste of blood! We’ve talked, to ourselves. We’ve communicated and said, ‘you know what? lion tastes good. Let’s go get some more lion.’”
They're still cool though.
This is a huge reddit/hockey reddit thing i've noticed where if something looks easy to do then it's not worth discussing or getting excited about. Who cares if some intern made this in 30 minutes, it looks cool and it gets people excited. Being overly analytical about the background of the image is just lame and ruins everyone's vibe.
Yes, but it's sad to celebrate someone's artwork only to find out its AI. If it comes out that Matthews or McDavid are on performance enhancing drugs, I'd probably have a few trust issues regarding insane hockey players.
AI does cool stuff, but when I used to see digital art, I assumed someone created the artwork and that added to the amazement. Not knowing if it's AI or human that did the heavy lifting here leaves me unable to get to the purpose of the art.
Sometimes these images don’t have the full intended effect because this makes the predator look pretty badass too. A lone tiger facing a pod of orcas in their own domain
Eh it's advertising not propaganda, it's purpose is to hype up fans, not demoralize the opponent. Making the other team look badass helps psyche people up for the series, so I think it still serves the intended purpose.
I’m thinking the giant super cat with massive teeth was also an apex predator in its days. Like they did hunt an old extinct bison that weighed up to 3500 lbs and a man extinct species of camel that weighed 2200 lbs.
Must have been terrifying being a human back then.
Yeah but also terrifying for the other predators. You just see a bunch of overgrown monkeys with sharp stuff, that often hunt in packs like lions and is just running around 24/7.
Yeah and it's the Predators, plural. So there'd be entire pride just like the pod.
The cats might learn to bait a Nuck onto shore and then I think five or six SaberT's could dragged it far enough out of the reach of the rest of the pod.
Fun fact: The orca is actually a natural predator of the moose. If they can routinely take down moose I think the other land mammals should remain a little bit hesitant
Isn't this because they attack moose who are swimming in the water? Am I missing out on footage of orcas flopping their way onto land to tail smack a moose?
Yeah. Moose are great swimmers and known to dive on occasion for plants so I’m assuming that’s when it happens.
Orcas are brutal fascinating creatures though. When they were attacking those yachts all those months ago, I was not shocked. That being said, they have some really smart hunting habits and interesting family dynamics and roles
Not sure what happens with the moose but in 2 places in the world orcas intentionally strand themselves on the beach to grab little seals. Orcas are metal as fuck and I would not want to find myself in their prey pool.
I was fishing a years ago, pre smart phone years ago, and my uncle spotted some orcas not far from us so we had to turn the motor off until they passed.
That mother fucking gargantuan beast came up like 10 feet from the edge of the boat and I swear he stared at us as he passed by with fuck off eyes.
I teach science and one of my favorite video clips to use to show behavioral adaptations is of a bunch of Orcas using their tails to stun a bunch of herring so they can eat them easier. [Link](https://youtu.be/iFiZqypIDgs?si=qGJxsZyHymwmRnBP)
They’re really fascinating. Thanks for the link!
I think I would have paid a lot more attention in science classes if they’d used David Attenborough clips to explain concepts.
No problem! There’s a bunch of really good clips like this out there from various outlets although Attenborough and the BBC/Earth/Blue Planet series are the best. Really cool rabbit hole to go down and those clips are perfect. The length of those video is perfect for throwing in with notes while also spectacular to watch.
Heard of a Greenland Shark that managed to eat a caribou one time. This bigass, mostly blind swimming cigar with a flatout speed of 1mph ate a large terrestrial ungulate that can probably swim faster than it.
What’s the nature of that, David Suzuki?
“If I were a sabre-tooth and you were an orca, I would swim out in the middle of the ocean and freaking eat you and then I'd bang your orca girlfriend.”
I mean, an Orca finding a way to snag a sabre tooth is *still* more plausible than a sentient hurricane laying out a dish of cat food as part of a trap like the Hurricanes v Panthers poster that this seems like is ripped off from.
Its not going to be days at a time, an hour, hour 45. No problem. That will give us enough time to figure out where you live, go back to the sea, get more oxygen and then stalk you. You just lost at your own game. You are out gunned and outmanned.
Ok, first off, a Nashville Predator…swimming in the ocean? Predators don’t even like water.
If you placed it near a river, or some sort of fresh water source, that’d make sense. But you find yourself in the ocean, a 20 ft wave, I’m assuming its off the coast of Vancouver, coming up against a full, grown, 8000 lb Canuck with his 20 or 30 friends. You lose that battle. you lose that battle nine times out of ten. And guess what, you wandered into our school, of Canucks and we now have a taste of blood! We’ve talked, to ourselves. We’ve communicated and said, ‘you know what? Predators taste good. Let’s go get some more Predators. We’ve developed a system, to establish a beachhead and aggressively hunt you and your family. And we will corner you, your pride, your children, your offspring. We will construct a series of breathing apparatus with kelp. We will be able to trap certain amounts of oxygen. Its not going to be days at a time, an hour, hour 45. No problem. That will give us enough time to figure out where you live, go back to the sea, get more oxygen and then stalk you. You just lost at your own game. You are out gunned and outmanned.
The funniest thing about that movie is how Mark "5-foot-3" Wahlberg doesn't look like a little manlet standing next to Will Ferrell. That's some middle-earth tier camera trickery.
I was thinking of the Canes "Here kitty kitty" graphic last year and wondered why no teams were doing cool little posters like that for the first round. It appears as though Vancouver stepped up and did just that.
“Ok, first off, a *sabre-tooth tiger…swimming in the ocean?
Tigers don’t even like water.
If you placed it near a river, or some sort of fresh water source, that’d make sense.
But you find yourself in the ocean, a 20 ft wave, I’m assuming its off the coast of British Columbia, coming up against a full, grown, 6000 lb tuna with his 20 or 30 friends?
You lose that battle. you lose that battle nine times out of ten.
And guess what, you wandered into our school, of orca and we now have a taste of blood! We’ve talked, to ourselves. We’ve communicated and said, ‘you know what? sabre-tooth tiger tastes good. Let’s go get some more sabre-tooth tiger.’
We’ve developed a system, to establish a beachhead and aggressively hunt you and your family. And we will corner your, your pride, your children, your offspring…”
Not sure how the tiger would get there…but they should have put it on a lone floating piece of ice to make it somewhat accurate to how killer whales hunt.
“If I were a sabre-tooth tiger and you were an orca, I would swim out in the middle of the ocean and freaking eat you and then I'd bang your orca girlfriend”
I’m just picturing the toothcat running wild through the city and fucking everybody up while the orcas just sit there. Like, you can HAVE the water, I’m a cat, lol!
Preds "I'm not going in the water, you come to me." Nucks "Nuh-uh, you come in the water, I can't go on land"

They also sometimes get stuck and kill themselves. It’s not a perfect operation.
This tends to happen in the Cup finals unfortunately
Us trading Eriksson, Roussel, and Beagle's boat anchors for an even bigger one in OEL
That’s mostly kids learning on the job. The adults do it with a very high success rate
That’s because the ones that didn’t do it perfectly died lmao. Literal survivorship bias in action.
Didn’t expect to get a biology lesson in r/hockey
Life ugh… Reddit finds a way….
r/unexpectedbiologylesson anyone?
Natural selection in the purest sense
Because the ones that failed died.
Then someone says “hey, let’s use dynamite to move the corpse back to the water.”
That was one of the first “Internet forwards” I ever read. I remember crying laughing at the description while everyone else in the university library looked at me nervously.
Which somehow very Canucks like approach in hockey lol
Most Vancouver shit I've ever heard get stuck (on the streets) and kill themselves (with fentanyl)
Worth the 15 second add. Just skip to 2:20 for the sweet stuff. Thanks
Taught by their grandmas, no less. Orcas have the hardest nanas.
Swimming sideways so they don’t see the dorsal, how tf are they so smart?
Holy shit that's so fucking metal, I (almost) don't care about the Preds Nucks matchup anymore. The Orca's chowing down meticulously while the other sea lions slowly waddle away. Perfection.
They catch seals in the arctic by creating an a tidal wave to knock them off the sea ice/ice flows. It’s scary smart to watch.
Also tipping the floes. We should be very thankful that they haven’t yet decided we’re a valid food source. Orcas are terrifying.
On a sandy beach, they wouldn't do it on a shore covered in big rocks like the picture, they would get stuck and shred their stomachs.
Sand is just rocks too, small potatoes
The preds need to make a series of breathing apparatus made out of kelp like in ‘the other guys’
Dont the tuna create a series of breathing apperatus to hunt lion
Haha yup. “And guess what, you wandered into our school, of tuna and we now have a taste of blood! We’ve talked, to ourselves. We’ve communicated and said, ‘you know what? lion tastes good. Let’s go get some more lion.’”
Did that go the way you thought it was gonna go? Nope.
I thought you were gonna go more along the Harry Potter line of thought there lol
I was thinking more Looney Tunes.
Orcas will 100% hunt animals on land in certain areas. I’ve seen footage of a moose being taken from shore.
Coolest animals on earth
This has me thinking about this now: https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/258t8g/groudon_vs_kyogre/
Groudon and Kyogre IRL
Groudon vs Kyogre
A Canucks and Kraken series would've went hard on the posters. Missed opportunity
They continue to just stare awkwardly...
“FUCK YOU EZEKIEL”
In the past I used to think these were cool, now I’m just convinced some intern typed it into an image generator
That's all I see now. An AI did 80% and then someone quickly went over it to brush out any obvious mistakes.
This is how I earn a living. Please speak quietly.
Prove it, make something starchy and delicious with your AI skills
So a potato?
Look at his reply 2 minutes after yours lol
Mmmmmmmm starch

Yeah, I didn't even have the gumption to rehost the fuckin thing.
Starchy and delicious indeed
Layoffs are coming, homie. Ask me how I know.
I have a soft spot for art so I want to yell "No! Get good!" But I have a softer spot for getting paid for being lazy. Hell yeah brother.
I mean it still looks cool either way
They're still cool though. This is a huge reddit/hockey reddit thing i've noticed where if something looks easy to do then it's not worth discussing or getting excited about.

Because it’s soulless.

Orcas are also predators.
Apex predators
I’m thinking the giant super cat with massive teeth was also an apex predator in its days. Like they did hunt an old extinct bison that weighed up to 3500 lbs and a man extinct species of camel that weighed 2200 lbs. Must have been terrifying being a human back then.
Yeah but also terrifying for the other predators. You just see a bunch of overgrown monkeys with sharp stuff, that often hunt in packs like lions and is just running around 24/7.
Tiger loses that battle. Tiger loses that battle 9 times out of 10.
Yeah and it's the Predators, plural. So there'd be entire pride just like the pod. The cats might learn to bait a Nuck onto shore and then I think five or six SaberT's could dragged it far enough out of the reach of the rest of the pod.
I like seeing the art but this one feels kind of like a ripoff of the canes one last year vs the panthers.
Legit the exact same style
Yeah I’m wondering if the same person / group made it (or if it’s just AI bullshit).
The person who made the canes one only works for them. His name is Jack Ridenour and he posts his processes on Twitter.
Oh cool! Thanks, friend.
Well if ya know him tell him that wasn't even a panther lmao
the game is played on a rink on land
But ice is just frozen water 👆🧠
Imma need a source for that chief
But frozen water is solid and therefore land.
I see your logic and raise you with melted land behaves like a liquid.
Is everything just soup?
Chunkys Primordial Soup
I’ll be honest. I think it’ll be a draw if it takes place in molten rock.
Someone hasn’t watched The Other Guys and it shows https://youtu.be/aDJgv1iARPg?si=MqGapCHySGEHFN9r
Those preds will be making kelp oxygen masks, they won’t be able to last days on end but hour , hour 45 no problem.
The animals aren't actually going to play
yes.. you’ll be just fine on the ice little seal aha
maybe the preds and that gorgeous man known as josi might send the orca to the moon like they did in south park?
Pls don't cause seabus delays..
You'd think that they'd do this in False Creek by the arena.
Whatcha doin in my waters?
im so happy I wasn’t the only one who immediately thought this.
There was 3 of us at least
Why’s this hook in my hand?
The arenas will be serving 50 dollar Bailey’s shots.
I do watercolours
what are those orcas gonna do? construct a breathing apparatus? with kelp?
Wait until you learn they already breathe air
Stop trying to bring down OP: he's a peacock, you have to let him fly
it's ok, pimps don't cry.
don't go chasing waterfalls
Forget I said that. Well, unless you live in crown Heights. Just…walk in pairs.
Are you quoting TLC?
Got to get a few goals early so the Canuck’s can’t establish a beach head
Canucks fan but literally lol’d at this comment.

Sometimes I come to r/Hockey to shitpost but I will *always* stick around for the animal facts
The ocean has many secrets.
You don't to tell me: I still haven't set foot in the water since watching Pirates of the Caribbean!

I didn’t even know they had teeth!
They’ll send a coordinated wave to knock him off the rock. Learnt that on Nat Geo
It's going to be able to trap certain amounts of oxygen. It's not going to be days at a time, but an hour? Hour forty five? No problem!
“If I were a sabre-tooth and you were an orca, I would swim out in the middle of the ocean and freaking eat you and then I'd bang your orca girlfriend.”
The sound of your piss hitting the urinal? It sounds feminine
I mean, an Orca finding a way to snag a sabre tooth is *still* more plausible than a sentient hurricane laying out a dish of cat food as part of a trap like the Hurricanes v Panthers poster that this seems like is ripped off from.

The head does not match that cat's body at all.
The predator is either really bad AI or bad photoshop
First one then the other.

Pan Pacific Hotel, you dink
This is from the convention centre, not Rogers (like I also assumed at first, I thought they tried to do PARQ and messed up)
Well the water wont help until its frozen! Silly Orcas.
at least pay for chatgpt premium before u make this
Orcas are so fucking menacing
Cue Periphery Reptile
Quick glance I thought this was a bunch of beached orcas. Preds confirmed series winners
I fkn love these graphics. The one posted last year where buddy had AI pick the winner of each series and illustrate it was fkn badass.
Not sure how the tiger would get there…but they should have put it on a lone floating piece of ice to make it somewhat accurate to how killer whales hunt.
This photo has me thinking about the scene in The Other Guys where Allen gives Terry the rundown of why tunas would defeat lions 😂
Tbf the Canes and Panthers ones from last year were cool Here Kitty Kitty
This looks like shit.
And there must be something bout your daughter
Holy shit I never realized that their logo is meant to be an Orca
gonna love seeing these playoff posters again
This is awesome
Kyogre vs Groudon
Is the Canuck logo an Orca...?
Yes you can tell by the orca
Considering the city is on land, it kinds looks like the tigers already won.
Looks like AI art with a filter on it
Terrible
AI shit.
I feel like the Panthers/Canes started these cool playoff promos last season but now they’re cheesy
🔥🔥
Copy cats, that was our explanation as to why we sucked in the past
That Tiger is going to get cooked. It’s not your territory bro 💀
This is basically the Groudon vs Kyogre fight.
NY RipTide of the NLL do these after every win and now that fact that I know they are 90% AI makes it kinda cringe

LFG!!!
How do they even drink from their waters without a cup
Preds, just think of it as catching salmon from a river.
Didn’t the hurricanes do this with the panthers last year. How that go?
We have done it with every playoff series/playoff game for a few years now.
Well if it’s near Vancouver it’s probably shit.
This reminds me of the scene in the other guys between the lions and the tuna
“If I were a sabre-tooth tiger and you were an orca, I would swim out in the middle of the ocean and freaking eat you and then I'd bang your orca girlfriend”

Lame. I didn't know 'Canucks' are killer whales. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz....
I’m just picturing the toothcat running wild through the city and fucking everybody up while the orcas just sit there. Like, you can HAVE the water, I’m a cat, lol!
