Behold the 2013 AHL All-Star Game logo. Nautical. Also interesting is the use of the retro logo that Providence uses on their kick-ass alternate jersey, and not the outlined version that is their standard look. Could this mean they retro logo will be replacing their current primary?

Via The Fleer Sticker Project, an epically badass 1970's IHOP placemat. I would not have colored on this one had I been around then.

I saw someone on TrackForum had made a model of the DW12 with the wings moved to more traditional locations, and I had to give it a shot on a photo of the real car. I also mocked up an airbox-free version as well just for kicks. Just moving the rear wing up and back and the front wing back makes a big difference, no? And it could be done solely with aero kits...

Dave is juuuuuuust a little uneasy around Big Z.

Well, God bless Howard Baldwin. If nothing else, the man dreams big. What you see here (via the Hartford Courant) is the interior of a proposed $105 Million renovation to Hartford's XL Center, with the intention of scoring an NHL franchise by 2017. Ignoring the return of the Whalers for a second, from personal experiences at Monster Jam, the XL is well past due for a renovation to stay relevant, and this would be a welcome change. Bringing NHL hockey back is still a pipe dream, but doing it with a comparitively low-cost renovation to the existing building would make Baldwin a New England hockey hero.

Make sure you check out the gallery of the arena and planned adjoining plaza and full plan and cost breakdown.

The Canadiens, acting on knowledge gathered this week about the Bruins, upgrade their equipment in advance of Thursday night's game.

Via Our New Fearless Leader at BostInnovation, the new banners for the first 5 Cups the Bruins won, now featuring the respective logos for each Championship year. Major upgrade, especially considering that the B's never won the Cup with the 1995-2007 logo the old banners featured.

Can I call a jersey foul on this? NHL Shop is selling these, even though the alternate thankfully did not see ice time in the playoffs, let alone the Finals (teams choose 1 home and 1 away jersey for the postseason and stick with it). Buy one with Hnidy's number and nameplate and we're revoking your fanship.

McQuaid may have a mullet, Timmy the stache, and Tuukka the swagger, but nobody, and I mean nobody, pulled it all together like Derek Sanderson. Someone else may be able to enlighten me on who the other two gentlemen are. From a Boston.com gallery of the coolest athletes in Boston history.

So, in case you weren't at the fantastic DVD viewing party tonight, then here is the major revelation: Chris Kelly looks like Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park. Check it out, it's a little creepy.

Yup, this is the actual Winnipeg Jets logo. The secondary and wordmarks are here. It's so heavy handed in it's simplicity that it looks like an Icethetics/Puck Drawn concept more than an actual NHL logo. I don't know that I hate it but it's not what I was expecting.

Yes, son, that's a Bruins logo on a NASCAR Nationwide Series (think AHL) car. Boychuk at an IndyCar race, the B's in NASCAR...I just need the Bear on a Monster Truck for true hockey/racing nirvana. Image courtesy of NESN.

For Corny.
