    On Thursday night after Andre Burakovsky scored his second career NHL goal, Peter tweeted this.

    BURRACUDA

    — RMNB (@russianmachine) October 17, 2014

    The nickname got approximately a million retweets, and we were bombarded with emails and tweets demanding a t-shirt. I oblige. When the RMNB people need something, I come through for the RMNB people.

    I spent about eight hours into early Saturday morning making a bunch of illustrations of fish. They all looked like fish, so basically it sucked. I didn’t really like the direction I was going, so I reached out to one of my art school buddies and asked them for inspiration. They sent me back an MP3 of Heart’s 1977 smash hit Barracuda.

    YES.

    Oooooohhh Burracuda.

    So inspired by that song, here is your new RMNB t-shirt.

    Buy it here.

    A few notes:

    • I love how the illustration turned out. The way Burakovsky plays, he’s smooth skating and stalks in the offensive zone. He’s always on the attack, kind of like a real-life barracuda. Yeah, I just made a predator metaphor.
    • This shirt also comes in Swedish yellow. We’ve also put it on a onesie and coffee mug.
    • Peter and myself polled a bunch of friends to figure out the correct spelling of “Oooooohhh.” We take this seriously.

    I’m a big fan of this shirt and this being Burakovsky’s nickname moving forward, so please help us spread the word.
