The Guardian Project: The NHL teamed up with Stan Lee to create superheroes for each team. Chris Sims from The ISB reviews the ten . . . best.

Aw c'mon grum. You are so negative and such a hater. I guess the superhero pages didn't have enough numbers and graphs for you, stat nerd.
Oh what, did I hurt your feelings? What you gonna do? Have your superhero friend shoot maple syrup at me? Quaking over here.
I do wish they has made the superheroes a little more true to the character of the teams they actually are intended to represent.
The Maple Leaf -- wildly popular, with throngs of people going to see his exploits, despite losing the majority of his battles. Similar to baseball hero The Cub.
The Shark -- powers appear not to work after April.
The Islander -- additional special powers include ability to suck with great force.
The Devil -- power to summon great sums of money to overpay underperforming Russian wingers.
The Capital -- power to spawn army of rotund bald guys shouting "we've got to get our f%$^ heads out of our f@$@# a@*^ and play some Capitals hockey!!!" Like the Shark, powers appear not to work after April.

The Bruin -- Rather cuddly and lovable until pissed off, then reacts with great fury. Is occasionally confused. Has a great side job doing humorous commercials.

I'm just waiting to see what joke about the Leafs will come up.
Also, the Avalanche appears to be um, er, "inspired" by Mr. Freeze from the Batman animated TV shows of my youth.
