Just another example of the inherent bias against the Winter Games. Usain Bolt gets a bouquet of roses. Sidney Crosby(notes)? Not even allowed to remove his helmet for the post-race, Mega Powers pose down in sweltering Beijing. Criminal, isn't it?

Welcome to the second gallery of our Sidney Crosby Golden Roar reader art contest (Gallery One Here), in which Sid the Kid's iconic Olympic moment -- after scoring the game-winning overtime goal to win the gold medal over the U.S. - is properly celebrated by your sick, twisted minds.

We've received close to 300 submissions ... and only about half of them had something to do with the movie "300." You won't see those here, though you will be able to view them in the final, all-encompassing gallery.

No, we wanted to bring you some of the best, and some of the oddest, submissions in the contest here. Like Travis H. featuring the Pittsburgh Penguins star in Norwegian artist Edvard Munch's "The Scream," which like most Norwegian art would have been improved with curling pants.

Ah, yes: Contests have prizes. So does this one. We're going to select three winners, and the first place finisher will get his or her choice of prizes. The three options for this contest, in order of what we believe is coolness:

• New Strat-o-Matic hockey game, for the hockey nerd in you.

• Two VIKINGSTAD! T-shirts from our friends at Pucking Hilarious.

• Your choice of hockey reading: "Hockey Dad" by TSN's Bob McKenzie; "Gabby: Confessions of a Hockey Lifer" by Bruce Boudreau and Tim Leone; or "Slap Shot Original" by Dave Hanson.

Deadline for submissions will be Wednesday, March 10, at noon EST. Email your entries to puckdaddyblog@yahoo.com.

Now, we continue with sights you can't un-see in the Sidney Crosby Golden Roar reader art contest.

And here ... we ... go. With the opening credits.

If you start playing Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" on the third Golden Roar, it perfectly syncs up with the rest of this post. (Thanks to Matthew C.)

Speaking of movies, we have some cinephiles in the readership.

Crosby as High Priest Imhotep, taking over the sands to terrorize what appear to be peaceful goat herders.

Silly Crosby; everyone knows hockey will never work in the desert ...

Thanks to Andrew A. for the image.

On the left, Sidney indicates he has a close relationship with his mother, via Puck Buddy Erik R.

On the right, Elizabeth N. offers this "Inglourious Basterds" homage that she titled "The Penguin Jew" ... although we imagine The Bear Crosby would have worked just the same.

Tragically, Sidney Crosby's time as a Sea World trainer would soon be over. (Thanks to Joshua E. for the "Free Willy" tribute.)

"Hi Ogie. Buy you a soda after the game?" (Thanks to Puck Buddy Rob F.)

This image by John S. comes right after Crosby has a long discussion about the virtues of Huey Lewis and The News with Alex Ovechkin(notes).

If you've read other Puck Daddy reader art galleries, you no doubt know the name BD Gallof of Hockey Independent. He gave the world the Bettman "300" image, for example. This "Avatar" tribute is filled with the psychological underpinnings we love in satire -- the NHL holding the reins and literally riding Sidney -- but, in the end, we're just enamored with BD's seemingly endless arsenal of Bettman mug shots.

Now, we think you'll agree that this next Gallof creation might be a finalist:

"Excuse me, Miss, but I'll have what he's having."

We're not about feminizing Crosby in this contest (sorry, seemingly endless stream of "Brokeback Mountain" and YMCA Photoshops), but this entry by Katie R. admittedly made us more than chuckle.

Whatchu gonna do when Crosbymania runs wild on you?!?!?

Bonus points to Chris K. for the Bettman as Vince McMahon/Pierre McGuire as Jimmy Hart guest appearances.

Awesome work by Puck Buddy Mohit. Surprised we don't get more commercial pop art entries for these contests.

This is so delightfully obscure that it deserves some sort of recognition. Puck Buddy Matt A. explains:

From the moment I saw that Crosby photo I thought Aphex Twin - Come to Daddy.  If you've seen the classic video, the likeness is uncanny.  Besides, Sid would yell at anyone.  Including grandma.

Wow. Just ... wow.

To cleanse our souls after that disturbing image: Tetherball! (Thanks to Michael A.)

Memo to Lil' Sid: When you get around to facing King Hippo, just punch him in the face and then go to town on his stomach. And for the love of god, don't lose to Don Flamenco. (Jason S., killing it as usual.)

Finally, one of the most creative images we've had in any contest:

(NOTE: Click here or click the image to view this animated .gif, which our publishing software doesn't support.)

Remember how we said you weren't going to see any "300" parodies in this gallery? Well, we meant ones that weren't moving .gifs, soaked in awesomeness. Puck Buddy Anthony G. shatters the mold, and the only way this gets better is if Ryan Miller's(notes) mask was superimposed on the Persian's mug.

Thanks to all how have entered and will enter the contest. It's been fantastic so far.
