Terribly sad to hear this. I had the pleasure of getting to know Emi when Rune was in Helsinki for a few seasons. She was an excellent ambassador for the club and an even better person to just have a conversation with. May she rest in peace. Condolences to her family, friends, and all members who had a chance to get to know Emi.

Review: the good old days! The Reapers truly were something special during that time. I really like the blue used for the jersey and the logo swap is very well done. The background works very well and I like the text choices. Beautiful work again Blade. 9.9/10.

New set of questions;

1) Down 3 - 2 against Malmo, give us your best motivational quote.

2) Are you happy with your playoff performance?

3) If you had to name a Bears playoff MVP who is your pick?

4) What skills are you going to focus on sharpening up over the off-season?

5) Who do you see going first overall in the S80 entry draft?

6) Do you predict Seattle as a contender again in season 80?

@tinafrombobsburgers

@Vat Congrats on a great season and good luck

on an even better one in season 80!

1. Can you celebrate too hard? (For example, after scoring a goal.)
Sure, just don't be an idiot

2.  What makes Seattle Bears so mean as a team?
Maybe teams may not like Seattle because of their consistency. I don't see them as mean.

3. Do you like flying?
I prefer a road trip to be honest.

4. Road trip in Europe, how do you spend time during all the flights?
Movies, shows, maybe some gaming on the Switch.

5. What country should have a VHL team? Or what country you would like to visit few times per year to play hockey?
Switzerland national league seems like a nice league to play for.

6. Should suspensions be a thing in VHL? (For example, you get thrown out of the game = minimum suspension of 3 games. Get thrown out again later in the season/career= minimum suspension 5 games, etc)
Not unless injuries were added. Which I don't think would be a wise addition.

Review: very eye catching graphic here. The muted render with slight colours running through work exceptionally well. I really like the pop of the green text and overall theme. The logo swap is clean which is always a bonus point from me. 9/10

Review: Thanks Blade

One more week of Vaak before he heads to retirement. Thank you for perhaps his final graphic. I really like the colours used here, the render and the faint bear in the background. Excellent text choice as well. Going to be sad to see VV go but thank you again for featuring him in your graphic during his final week. 10/10 no bias of course  

@Kelsier

Review: Excellent job overall here. The players head popping through the R is a very neat touch and works exceptionally well. The black and white with colour pop is a great touch. Looking forward to seeing more creative graphics from you. 9/10.

Review: Very clean and an excellent logo swap. The text works well and provides movement to the overall graphic along with the lines coming off the player. The render could have used a touch more clarity but overall this is a well made graphic. 9/10.

1. What song should be played every time Seattle Bears wins a playoff game?
Bear Necessities

2. Do you like to give interviews between periods?
Once in a while, its best to be in the locker room hearing what the coach has to say

3. How different is playoff hockey compared to regular season hockey?
Its a completely different beast. Time to be at the top of your game every single shift.

4. What team would you like to face in the finals?
Riga. I'd love to faceoff against Zamboni Driver.

5. Thoughts on 3v3 overtime, should it be used in every league?
Sure why not, and conitnuous, anything is better than a shootout

6.  What if the suits all of sudden decide that game of hockey is played with 4 skaters + goalie - what would your thoughts be?
Would open the ice quite a bit and produce a much higher scoring game. Not sure if I'd be in support of it though.

For once in my VHL career I have to agree with this statement

Obligatory @Jubo ping

Hard to believe but I havent GM'd a WJC since season 64 

Review; Pretty good job here. Always good marks from me when a logo swap is involved. The background is a bit busy but it still works well. Maybe a shadow on the right side of the player render could have helped it pop. Cool font choice. 8.5/10.

Review; this is excellent work. The helmet work is very clean and convincing. The background and lighting is all working quite well and the text was a great choice. There is a bit of empty space in the top left but I think its fine as the player render is looking toward that corner and adding something there might have been a bad choice anyhow. 9.5/10.

31. Are you watching the Olympics? If so, which events have you watched?

Sadly they are over but I tried to watch whenever I could. I enjoy the track events.

32. What are your thoughts on the newest GM's.. VHLE...? GM Announcement

Looks like it will be a fun league. I am likely moving on from VHL after this season but I wish them all well.

33. Who has been one of Seattle's underrated players?

Leveque. Solid dman who willingly dives in front of the puck to blocks shots.

34. What is a superstition your player has?

He has a sticker of Selanne's number inside his helmet.

35. Who is your players celebrity crush? Who is yours, the members (YOU!) celebrity crush etc?

Venus Thightrap, an acceptable answer for all the above 

36. What are your post-season goals?
Get in as top seed and ride the home-ice advantage all the way to a cup win before Vaak retires.

@MexicanCow123

25. Who has been the leagues best forward so far this season? Why?

Odinsson is a man possessed. 102 points in 51 games, 45 being goals.

26. Who has been the leagues best goalie so far this season? Why?

Zamboni Driver. Playing his heart out in his final season. 

27. Who has been the leagues best d-man so far this season? Why?

Alex Letang, big points, great ratings, physical and blocks shots. Hard to beat.

28. How was your last weekend?

Pretty great, lots of time spent outside enjoying the weather.

29. What are your plans for this week?

Working but off Friday on vacay for a nice long weekend.

30. What's something interesting going on in your life right now?

Nothing too stressful going on which is always nice.

Review: Very cool looking graphic again Frank. Aside from Lahtinen not actually winning the cup there really isn't much to nit-pick at here. Maybe the ads on the helmet could have been removed. I really like the gritty text and the movement the background seems to convey. Awesome job. 9.5/10.

Review: Nice and simple clean graphic here. Colour swap on the jersey is nice but could use a touch of red or a re-recoloring of the bulls logo and removal of 'Jets' on the helmet. 

The text used works quite well together. Good job overall. 7/10.

1) live play by play, not every sim day but perhaps a weekend dah or a couple days a week. Have a few members signed up and whoever can step in that week can play by play a game of the week. For that day of course there would be no live stream.

2) Reviewing can lead to too much negative criticism. I dont know how this can be fixed but something needs to change or just remove the task in place of TPE for commenting on game day threads.

3) Removal of the thunderdome. If a post is too controversial and drawing too much negativity just remove the thread. Comments for thunderdome still show in the live activity feed so its effectively pointless until locked. Bad look for new members to witness.
