Tape-to-Tape

Venus Thightrap @BladeMaiden leads all Titans in points as of Monday morning. She has played her best season to date so far as we are now 29 games in. She has 42 points, 28 of those being assists as her playmaking abilities are being put in the spotlight. Helsinki's off season continues to shine for the club who brought Venus in to give them arguably the most dangerous top six in the league. Venus is also a Continental Cup champion from her time in Vancouver. The experience she brings to the roster is valuable for a team that always seem to be in the mix and needs a bit of a push to get the title to Finland. There are a lot of games between now and the playoffs. Thightrap could easily break 100 points and give more reason for her to be a future hall of fame candidate when her career is eventually wrapped up. We are so very happy you decided to join us this season. More than just player performance you are a truly great person and a joy in the locker room.

@v.2you are the example of how not to go about reviewing. Criticism does not have to come with shooting someones abilities down. Come off your pedestal and have some common decency.

1. Egg shaped over the bunny shaped chocolate. 2. Team mates and management is open field day for April fools. 4. There was a year we had frozen meals from the microwave because the oven died. It was not the best me but I will never forget it. 5. Shots blocked. Because I am a goalie and those help me out a lot. 6. Dan Dan. He can have them as he is much bigger than me. 7. Close by. Big family dinner every year.

Where it belongs. Open a “bad takes” channel while you are at it.

The Helsinki Titans have been playing high level hockey and are 10-4-1. The players on the roster are playing strong together. This makes it an easy situation for the teams manager to extend players for future seasons. Jubo got to work early on contract extensions and signed five players who were up for hitting UFA in the next off season. The five players signed were dman Gustav Hjalmarsson, all star center Valtteri Vaakanainen, right winger Dan Dan, left wing Vick Fairchild and goalie Zamboni Driver. Helsinki has competed every season lately it would seem. They have a strong collection of highly talented players and a mix of complementary rookie players to extend their window for success and playoff runs. It is the most fun locker room I have been a part of. Signing Venus Thightrap before the season has made this place even more enjoyable. There is a lot to like about the Titans so signing an extension here was an easy accept.

Reviewing Clean and simple look that I do like. Like the logo swap that you did here also. The white background is ok and keeps the simple look going through. Have to say good work on this. What I would say as criticism is how different the text is but saying that I dont think it looks bad together. 8/10

Reviewing My favorite part of this one is the text. It is a cool choice and pops off the rendered player behind it. There is a lot of dead space at the top so it could have been cropped down. Mentioning the team the player plays for is also something to make the graphic more complete or a swapped logo. 7/10

sig for a new dman we got during the off season in a trade where elsby went to chicago. Happy to have this guy defending for us @kentakira

There is a lot to like when you look at the roster the Titans are icing for the VHL's 77th season. The offense is scary. There are threats everywhere from Vaakanainen, Vikingstad, Thightrap, Laine, Dan, Fairchild and rookie Verlander. The Titans have the tools to be the highest scoring team in the league. It is true that their defence took a hit when they lost Summers to retirement and traded away Elsby to Chicago. Jubo has done great work filling those spots with young players that will be around for a long time hopefully. Rune will lead the defenders with supporting cast Helminen, Hjalmarsson and rookies Cloudera and Moreau. Their goal tending has star Zamboni Driver return for his 5th season and a new backup goalie of rookie Gibson. When you look at the conference it is not hard to say the Titans can make a run for top seed and have a great run when the playoffs are here.

1. Physical media of any kind 2. Foxes seem like the answer for me to this one 3. Over if I understand this right 4. In a dark forest at a campground 5. Would have had to been there to get it. Its embarrassing and I wont share hehe. 6. Vaakanainen, Thightrap and I dont know who id trade as I like everyone. Lets go with an inactive player if we have one of those somewhere.

As soon as I learned we signed blademaiden to the team I became even more pumped up for the season. And as a goalie I am so happy to have her on our side of the rink. @BladeMaiden

Congratulations Titans friends. So glad to be a part of this great team.

Reviewing this is cool. I see many of your graphics around and I like that they all feel different but are all greatly done. This one may be a bit bright but it is probably what you were wanting the finished graphic to look like. 9/10

Reviewing this graphic right away it is one of my favourites I have ever seen on this site. It is clean and the idea is clear. This might be the first time I give out a 10/10. I would like to see more of this style.

1. We have 4 steals. Frank, Vat, ATST and Dylan. 2. Yes I do know the history behind it. I dont think anyone was snubbe.d 3. It is an honor just to be drafted to the Titans. No matter the number. 4. I followed the messages in the titans locker room area 5. Frank at the number 1 spot 6. Our draftees are all great. Active and fun group. We are lucky to have them all.

while the titans may have picked Yrwy in round 4 he has been very much active in the locker room and there is lots of potential for him to make the titans in the future @dylanjj37

S77 off season has been long and can feel slow. One of the exciting parts of the off season is the entry draft. Helsinki had 2 first round picks in the draft meaning while they remain a dangerous team they are still adding great players for their future and longevity. At the 9th pick Helsinki filled a position need and called the name of Aurelien Moreau. Moreau already is a stay at home defender who probably plays top 4 minutes for the Titans right away. Next was their pick at 12 overall. They reached down the board a bit here but it is obvious why. They drafted winger Gustislav Nasherov. This is a player that is going to surprise many as soon as he joins the VHL in season 78. After pick 12 they did not pick until pick 36. And it was a steal when they were able to draft D Elvis Michael. Another player to watch out for that could make other GM's miserable to not have taken him earlier. At pick 56 the Titans took on a young centerman named Bryn Yrwy who will have a lot to prove but the potential is there.

1. Staying hype for Titans hockey. The team looks strong again. Blade is on the team and we made deals on top of that. 2. I missed most of of. But congratulations to Canada on the gold medal. 3. Seeing the team evolve. Of all the seasons i have been here this is the most hype. 4. I missed the draft. We appear to have killed it though. 5. New management is good for some teams. I hope Jubo stays in Helsinki for a long time. 6. Active locker room that builds hype that leads to wins

@Jbeezy76looks to be a dark mode thing. Try highlighting the article on your end. I dont know what happened this time.

Thanks @Jbeezy76. But why the laugh emoji? j/w

Helsinki made their first deal of the off season today. They traded with the Calgary Wranglers and gave forward Green Gaming and a couple of late picks for forward Magnus Verlander. Verlander just won the Founder's cup with the Mexico team of the VHLM and scored the cup winning goal in that series. Verlander's player agent Jbeezy had his last managed player Erik Draven play with the titans for 5 seasons. There is a lot of great things to say on both sides of the deal and both of these players will go on to do great things in the VHL. The VHL off-season is a long one and we should see a lot more deals through the entire league. There looks to be a slight problem where there are too many players for the amount of teams and I would think there will be an expansion sooner than later. It looks like many of the teams will run players on their 3rd line.
