Here it is folks! The Roddy Brind'amour figurine. I guess the Pint Glasses just weren't getting it done, so they went all "Franklin Mint" on us. Now I don't have a problem with the promotion, but you must admit that it doesn't look a thing like Roddy. In fact, the figurine actually looks like what would occur genetically if Ted Nolan boffed Sidney Crosby. I'll leave it to you to decide whether that is an improvement or not. The other three (3) players featured in the figurine series are Eric Staal, Ray Whitney, and Cam Ward.
However, in a C.O.I. exclusive, we can now reveal that before the Staal, Whitney and Ward figurines were chosen, there were several other Canes and former Canes figurines that were considered and rejected. These proofs were supposed to be destroyed; never to see the light of day. However, Wufpirate knows a dude who is friends with a guy who once dated the sister of a girl who worked for a guy who delivered mulch to a neighbor of Ron Francis' plumber. For the hefty sum of a bottle of Mad Dog 20/20 (the blue kind) and a half used can of WD-40, we managed to procure a peek at these figurines. As a public service to our readership, we can now post exclusive pictures of the never-before-seen (and never-to-be-seen-again) rejected Canes figurines. They are:
The Cory Stillman Figurine:
The Pavel Brendl Figurine:
Man, the lengths we go to for you people. But that's OK. There is nothing too good for our readers.

well played. well played.
at first, I was upset that these promotional items were going to be given away on nights that I don't have in my 10-game package. Then I saw how crappy the Brindy figurine looks.
I agree with you that it looks nothing like the Captain.
Not exactly Todd MacFarlane quality.
ahaha, great stuff.
When did Ralph Macchio become the Canes captain?
Ralph Macchio! Damn. I should've thought of that one. Then, my line could've gone: "...that's what would occur genetically if Erik Estrada boffed Ralph Macchio".
Priceless.
I know that joke wouldn't have the hockey connection. But heaping scorn on "Chips" and the "Karate Kid" in the same sentence has gotta count for something...
Let me pile on and say what a disservice that stupid figurine does to our Captain. I wouldn't take one if they were giving it away....oh, wait....
I'll take one, just cos it's the Warchief and I want one for the hockey shrine.
That Drunk'Neill one, though, brings the funny.
