If you buy something from an SB Nation link, Vox Media may earn a commission. See our ethics statement.

Google Image Search is a fast way to find a variety of pictures relating to a certain thing. When you search for a hockey team name, you get hundreds of results relating to that team: the logo, famous players, merchandise, etc. But when you scroll waaaaaaaaay down past all the most popular results, you can find strange and frightening things that are connected to that team's name

For each NHL team I searched for the team's name and have identified the most embarrassing, shameful, or simply insane image that comes up. Here they are for your enjoyment, along with a brief tidbit about what each picture can teach us about the team, fanbase, players, or whatever.

Anaheim Ducks

Chicago Blackhawks
