[Review] Nice graphic and nice season! Very similar season to my player, 22, 25, 47 and we joined just about the same time. I like the font you used and I also really like the texture you have over the background that adds that dots look. I'm not quite sure what's going on in the lefthand corner with the Hali logo, is that over a knight cutout? Hard to tell with the logo over top, but I get what you're doing, just not sure what it's placed on. Overall nice graphic and nice season, see you in the VHL!

[Review] Very very nice signature. Great player render to use, gives a real badass vibe to an already badass looking graphic. I too like the background, I can never seem to come up with awesome ideas or textures to throw back there like this. I kinda wish the player was in front of the semi transparent layer on the left hand side, but aside from that great work!

[Review] This is great and I never would have made the connection, gold! Graphic(s) look awesome, I personally like the top one the best, something with the cityscape and outline in that one that I find most appealing. I think it might look pretty cool if you can put some sort of lighting behind the playing where the sun is appearing to rise to lighten up that area of the picture a little bit to add some variety, just a thought though or something to try and play around with.

[Review] Nice looking graphic, but I wish it was a touch larger. Hard to make out the Helsinki Titans and to me it looks like Tians. Other than that looks really great and I like how "Pepper" is written in the background, tucked behind your player, and even though you can't see or make out much of the word you know what it says. I also like the contrasting fonts with the free hand Helsinki and the block Pepper. Keep up the good work.

[Review] HOLY SHIT!!! I love it! You expect me not you push you up against the wall biotch!? Sorry, anyways nice looking graphic. Not sure if you added it or it was on the background, but I like the light streak that's coming through on the towers, helps break things up and keep the eyes moving. Overall great graphic, but I'm legitimately scared for the Mississauga organization knowing Prison Mike Beau Buefordsson is at the helm.

[Review] Simple yet appealing! I'm a sucker for green so naturally I like this, but in all honesty this is a promo or banner I could see hanging in the Malmo stadium. I like the faint transparent logo you can see in the background with the feathers just poking up in the skyline. Nice work and good luck in the upcoming season!

Player card for Bert Macklin, my AGM alter ego!

Im on board with either idea, I could see how some would be resistant to option one since it requires any additional required energy or effort, but I do agree that the 5 and 6 are illogical. To me it's like a hotdogs and buns situations, where you get buns in packs of 8's but hotdogs in packs of 10's, doesn't work out for anyone and you end up having to get extra buns (questions) or throw out hotdogs (questions go unanswered). When we originally were discussing the ideas and possible changes the presser job never came up, but I do like that idea since it would ensure that the press conference thread is always alive and active.

1) Scale of 1-10 how would you rate your 1st season overall. 2) The VHL draft is approaching, where do you hope to end up? 3) Are you glad that you chose to be a defenseman? 4) If you had to choose a position to change to what would you choose, why? 5) What is the last team you hope to be drafted by in the upcoming VHL draft? 6) Is there anyone in particular that you would like to be on a team with or on a line with from the VHL or VHLM? 7) What are your goals for your 1st season in the VHL? 8 ) What are your career goals in the VHL as a defenseman? 9) How many seasons do you foresee yourself playing before you consider retirement? 10) Personal success or team/organizational success? 11) There's a player in your locker room that is being a pain in the ass and causing problems, as a fellow teammate what do you do and what do you consider your role in a situation like this? 12) Do you see yourself sticking around the league long enough to the point that you'll be recreating? If so, what player do you think you'll try next?

1-What is the best advice anyone has ever given you? Don't pee into the wind! 2-If you could live anywhere, where would it be? Probably Colorado or someplace up in the mountains away from most everyone. 3-How do you treat people who annoy you for no reason? Ignore them, annoying people feed off the attention and any 4-What does your name mean? It was a username from when I was little, I was a runner in grade school, high school and college for a few years and then went back to my high school to coach cross country and track for a handful of seasons, so Runner and my name Ro"Bert" 5-If you could jump into a pool full of something, what would it be? A pool of jell-o or pudding would be awesome, but I'd probably need a lifeguards to rescue me after I gorge myself on some while I'm in there 6-How do you relax after a hard day of work? Hippie lettuce? A left handed cigarette? What do you call it haha 7-What’s your favorite Disney movie? Jungle Book, classic! Bear Necessities!

Bert takes a seat and adjusts the mic ready to field your questions...

Wasn't sure since it doesn't say St. Paul on any previous posts and I only came across one other post mentioning Oslo moving to Minneapolis. Regardless we're talking about less than 10 miles in distance here between the two....

What a way to celebrate the holiday to day with the Founder's Cup coming to Minneapolis!

Looks small now since I had to knock down the size to be able to hit the size restrictions.

Today's the day boys and Wendy! Bring 'er home!

(Minneapolis, MN) The stage is set and the Minnesota Storm are in the driver's seat with the series returning to home ice. They split the first two home games with the 21st, but went into Halifax and cleaned house taking both games and any bit of momentum Halifax had remaining from their lone win in Min. To add insult to injury the Storm won the 2nd game in Halifax rather easily, rounding out the night with a 6-2 victory and Shane Mars registering the Founder's Cup finals hat trick! Last night the city was relaxed and peaceful, a calm before the STORM you could say! As the city wakes up this morning the parking lots are filling up and fans are unloading their grills and baggo boards to kick off the possible Founder's Cup victory party with some good ol' fashioned Midwest tailgating as the sun is peaking up. The brats are sizzling, brews are cracking and bags are flying as the mood is as optimistic and lighthearted as they come for the fans that compile the sea of red that is clearly visible to air-traffic passing overhead. Can the Minny players bring home the cup tonight or will Hailfax take another game in MN and extend the series to a game 6. Only once the puck drops will the rest of this story be written. 226 Words

Freeman and Meyers alike. Aside from winning face offs, I've consistently been a non-factor most of the playoffs....

Quite the trick there Mars This is looking all MN all of a sudden!

Not surprised, knew Hali was going to be tough and has been for us all season long. Not worried though, they took one from us, no reason we can't return the favor. LETS GO MINNY!

There's a Storm a brewing!

WOW What a series!! Hopefully the boys are spent by the time they hit the ice in Minny!

1. With us easily making it to the final who do you think we will play? I think its going to be Hali, and I sure as hell hope they don't have it out for us like they did in the beginning of the season. 2. How easily do you think we will beat them? Let's not get ahead of ourselves, there are a lot of strong players capable of great performances on both remaining teams we could face. Plus the way STHS has been going lately nothing would surprise me at this point. 3. Would we have a easier or harder time with the team they beat? I think we'd have an easier time with Houston based on our meetings throughout the regular season. For some reason Hali has given us trouble this year, especially in the beginning of the season. 4. Our teams Playoff MVP? WHY? Aron Nielsen, kids been a game-changer for us this post-season. Not that he hasn't had a great season overall, just seems like he's really coming into his own during the post season and is the extra boost we need to bring home the cup! 5. Our regular season MVP? WHY? I want to say Shane Mars, comparable stats on the offensive end with Orion, but a touch more reliable on defense. It's really a toss up between Orion, Shane Mars & Denver though if you ask me. 6. If Orion is a true superhero... of sorts. What super power do you hope he has? Some lightning quik speed like the Flash!
