@SirRupertBarnes If you are actually from Halifax, it would be cool if you came and played for the Halifax 21st but I'm not sure if we have any more space to claim at the moment. Sit tight and we may be able to make it happen if you want.

Oh well if there are offers from Hally, Vegas, Sask and Oslo, that's all that's worth waiting around for.

You already have offers from the best teams. All you are waiting for is Yukon and Oslo.

If we are just a movie than why haven't we seen the cameramen? Where do they go? Why do people have control over their actions? Also, how do you know this if the movie wouldn't want anyone to know?

@Chase Klein Getzlaf hasn't been producing like normal. They have the second fewest goals for, as a fellow Ducks fan, I agree its a huge pain to watch. Bob Murray is a good GM but Carlyle is awful as a coach. Hopefully they turn it around and Getzlaf gets another ring. He is my favourite athlete of all time.

Thanks for the questions Blade! Certainly saves me some work this week. 1. Being the best at kickball or the fastest runner. 2. If we are just talking one single game, I played a lot of Minecraft as a youngster so probably that but if different games from the same franchise count I would have to say EA's NHL series, NHL 08 through NHL 19. 3. I have a hair. He don't have a hair, something Ovechkin said about Getzlaf which when you think about it is a compliment because Getzlaf should be happy he doesn't have Ovi's hair. 4. Mertz's Magazine 5. Middle Earth should be real. 6. Flow and flare.

Claiming for week of Jan 27th.

I've picked up a knack for making hockey cards and I need some place to stash them.

A collection of all John Madden graphics, sigs and cards made by myself, as well as any other members. First Graphic This is the first graphic I ever made for the VHL. Created it the day after I joined the sight before I was even signed to a team. It's boring, uneventful and downright ugly. Also, my team is listed as Yukon Rush, not sure why. I think I was looking through team logos and decided I liked that one the most. Didn't understand how things worked yet. I'm sorry that you have to look at this, but at the time I was real proud. First Halifax Graphic I know what everyone is thinking: "Yuck, what the hell is that?" but when I made this I thought it was amazing. Looking back it looks corny and the resolution is really low, the shorts look real scratchy, the text is super boring and don't even get me started on the recolour of the jersey logo. Possibly the worst thing I've even designed. Vague Improvement, Still Awful This next graphic is only slightly better than the last but is hardly any easier to look at. The recolour job ain't as bad but the logo is too small and too low resolution. Background still as corny as ever and the huge logo and plain text stuck around for some reason. I wasn't very creative but the one thing I managed to keep consistent back then was that every player I used as Madden wore number 11. Trying new things This is the first graphic I ever made that isn't a complete pain to look at. I had a bunch of new ideas and experimented a lot more this time. Additions included the Halifax Skyline at the bottom, stars in the background, bubble text, smoke effect, border around the jersey logo and a background that wasn't too corny. There are still things that I would change about this graphic but it is a significant improvement from the previous three I did. This is probably my best graphic to this day. True North Edition This graphic frustrates me. It was a disappointing follow-up next to the previous one and it is the first graphic where I didn't use a player with number 11. I took a few steps back with this one. There are still a few things I like, such as the background and the green on the uniform, but overall not as good. Shawn's Sig My buddy and GM @ShawnGlade finally did Madden some justice by creating this beautiful sig. It is by far better than anything I've done and I really enjoy looking at it every time I post. Shawn is very talented with graphic design and I appreciate that he put some effort into it by actually putting Davos' logo on the jersey rather than just adding a few effects and calling it a day. Madden Team Canada Hockey Card After realizing that sigs are not my forte, I decided to diversify and try making cards for awhile since they don't require any effects at all, only the logo change and a recolour, which I am pretty good at. I made cards for myself and 5 of my team Canada teammates, which you can view in this thread: Enorama's Card Enorama made me this amazing card today and it's what inspired me to create this portfolio. I've always admired Eno's cards and super happy that he decided to make one for me. He used Max Domi too, who I am a big fan of! Bushito's Sig This sig done by Bushito is top notch! Too lazy to write more.

@Enorama Awesome! I've always admired your cards and happy you picked Max Domi to represent Madden. I didn't even expect someone to make me a card today so this is certainly a nice surprise. Thanks!

Yeah I thought about telling some staff. I thought I would try PMing this guy first to tell him but he didn't respond to my messages. At the time I didn't realize that he had multiple weeks of double-claiming, just noticed the welfare / graphic one and thought it a minor issue. If I see something like this again I'll be sure to let someone know.

If this is just a movie then why would curling have ever been invented? Only the stupidity of actual humans could have created such a monstrosity. There is no way that its just here to be in a movie. That would be an awful movie.

Not that it matters, but Dil didn't discover this. McWolf and I both knew about this way before Dil and it was only after he joined Halifax before he found out and told everyone.

@Sharkstrong awesome answers! Also, nice sig!

Does this Chase know what's up yet?

@Stoffiday I do not have a working mic but I think I would like to be a VSN writer. I can do articles. No podcasts though, I'm sorry. But if you choose to hire me, don't do it right away, I want to know what exactly this job entails and what would be required of me. Thanks!

Nice, I'm loving that there is a new generation of players following the S64 ones that looks even stronger and better! Gets me pumped for the future. Can't wait to see Nixon and the other guys hit VHL ice in S65!

I was gonna go with Canadia but Jubo's Power Rank article helped me realize that the favourites this year are: EUROPE

@tunedtorock Amazing! I am loving the activity I am seeing from you. Would you like me to make you a player card or something?

Of course I did. You are the true captain after all.

Welcome to the VHL!

@Nykonax I'm really enjoying these. Don't stop anytime soon.
