Arch and I have been talking about it though and I'll allow myself to talk this one up a bit. I have to say... that I just completed and posted a project that is best described as jaw dropping.
To balance things out I'll also do something unlike me: explain what is actually three projects in one... and do it all under 150 characters like my short description of the file does
Here is a full size in-game screenshot (as seen in my Etched Steel skin) of the presenting of the Selke Trophy, if you'll all allow me a bit of boasting by posting it inline instead of linked (click on the image for the full size due to our spiffy new autoscaling forum setup):Large high quality NHL Trophy images with name and explanation for year end news items. Titlebar versions and new trophy based league news logos too!
As a set they look so good that the collective screenshot I realized it couldn't be posted as it was. That is why for the first time I had to overlay/alter and brand the screenshot heavily so it couldn't be claimed by someone else as theirs and the elements of it chopped up and used who knows where... sorry that's so obnoxious by keep in mind the altered shot is even only 75% of it's original size.
I gladly share my work but I don't give it away or make it easy for other people to steal/co-opt it 
I usually don't mention this either but I will here since Arch has been insisting I should... this set between searching for sources on the net, planning and creating the design elements, removing the backgrounds of the source images, testing and writing up the install instructions took me around 40 hours or so. Here's some of what I was sharing with Arch as I worked on them, just for fun if anyone cares to see a bit more of what goes into my putting together a project like this.
The main problem doing a sources-base project is that some are more of a challenge than others. Here's three examples of the toughest ones in this set:
There just aren't many sources for the darn plus/minus award since honestly nobody cares
The trophy itelf is tough because it's a hockey player sculpture with his stick up over his head, not exactly a dream source in photos.Also tough is the All-Star trophy which is never seen off ice I don't think... and the pictures should you find them are usually from the on-ice presentation after the All-Star game itself. That means someone is always holding it often at a bad angle. Oh yeah... and it's freakin clear!! So I had to get extra creative on that one.
So when you look at those two awards Arch said I should let people know that these are the two sources the Plus/Minus and All-Star MVP trophies came from.
Some more of what I was rambling to Arch about before:
Pop quiz... who can tell me who Roger Crozier is? Then how about why he would have an NHL award named after him called the 'Roger Crozier Saving Grace Award'? And what does the award mean? Anyone? No? Yeah me either.
Quick history lesson: he was in goal for the Sabres inaugural game which was also the team's first home game and Crozier brought home their first win that night. He went on to be a succesful hockey front-office guy as well as GM.
So, that's the name and here's the what and why: The award is given to the goalie (or goalies depending on # of games played as Turco/Belfour co-won before) who post the best save percentage for their team. How did he become associated beside being a goalie? He was a good candidate for a save precentage award as he was known for seeing more rubber than a mile's worth of city roadway during a night's work. During the 1971-1972 season, he turned away 2,190 shots, which is still the team's record for shots faced by a goalie in a single season.
I'm super excited about making this project available for people and I hope it makes it feel like you've actually won an award now instead of "You're the league MVP here's ten words of text to celebrate that fact" which is just a bummer when we work as hard as we do on our games to bring how that silverware ya know?!?!
Thanks for endulging me in my
rambling on about this project There are some other surprises not on the screenshot that I think people will appreciate as well so let me know what you think and of course enjoy playing!!
I'd been pestering him to explain to everyone how the heck he does these things (I think he's usually too modest 
As a lot of you know part of why I dig hockey so much is tradition and the NHL trophies are the greatest example of that tradition. Also, the trophies themselves... at least the long-established ones are so darn cool and I'm not sure how many people have been able to experience them. That's probably why I worked so hard and got such good results out of this one.
