more wins please

I'm only going to focus on that win against Calgary and ignore the other two games

@rjfryman

Great article! I've always had a bit of a soft spot for Davos since my return based on their reputation so hopefully you can get some better sim luck soon.

Must be a ghola.

.783 in that third game Why

My save percentage! You monsters!

I like the paper theme with the halftones and stock work. I think the border is cool and the black and white color scheme works really well. And I don't know if it was intentional or not (I assume it was), but I think the inclusion of the crown for a player named "LePrince" is clever. I'm not a fan of the text, though, and I think that brings the sig down for me. I don't like the font, and I think it doesn't work with the torn paper design behind it. I think it could work if you used a thinner font that look more like natural handwriting rather than that font with the drop shadow. Overall, nice work, though. 8.5/10

I like this a lot, I think the lighting and the background works well with your style, and the colors are nice. The text is nice and clean as well. My main problem is the placement of the render, though. It feels like there's not enough room on the top for the player, and too much on the bottom. Maybe it'd work better if the sig was re-cropped to cut some space off the bottom. Also if I'm gonna be r e a l l y nitpicky, then I would say maybe the right side could use some adjustment - maybe another element to the text, like some small Xs, or a jersey number, or maybe crop it a little bit closer to the period in JR. Of course, these suggestions could all not work at all, but these are just ideas I had when I saw the sig. Overall, though, I think this is really good and I like it a lot. 9/10

1. If management ever plans to upgrade our home arena, what would like to add to the space? A forum locker room A lot of seats, I'd like as many people to see our games as possible. Also maybe some more accommodations for the home locker room. 2. What would you say to players that get upset because they get less ice time? We've got a good group of players, and it's hard to get ice time because that usually means someone else has to lose ice time. It's a precarious position to be in. I would say just keep working at it and the coach should notice your performances in-game and at practice. Also, get good, scrub. 3. With our good start this season, how confident are you that we can keep it this way? Kinda confident. I wouldn't say we're going to be, like, Victory Cup winners or anything but I think we can make the playoffs and probably avoid the wild card round this season. I don't know if we'll be as good as we were at the very start of the season but we'll see. 4. Newly signed FA Adam Syreck is back. How will he contribute to the team once more? I think he'll be a great contributor, and I think he'll help a lot with our depth scoring. Great to have him back 5. Which VHL team/teams have impressed/disappointed you the most this season? I mean Malmo slipping to dead last after winning the cup last season has to be the disappointment. Adrienne was incredible, but surely losing him couldn't have been the only reason for this drop. They've still got a solid roster. Prague has impressed me so far, I think Thomas Landry II really has a chance to come into his own as a star this season. Also I've absolutely been impressed by our success so far. 6. If a hockey equipment company wanted to sponsor you but you have to use whatever they gave you. No requests or customs. Would you agree to this sponsorship? I mean I would take it as long as they're offering good money and the gear isn't, like, dangerously bad or something But if we're talking about how I imagine my player would react, I think Camus would definitely want custom gear and would turn it down (and also wouldn't care about the money).

That Xin sig is definitely my favorite of the bunch

Claiming for week 4/4 (1/25-1/31)

F - Christian Mingle

Shawty's like a melody in my head

F - Markus Nygren G - Jean-Pierre Camus @fishy

Camus with the first shutout of the season

D - Latrell Mitchell D - L @weekz

2-1 sim, not bad. Would've liked to not let in six goals in that last game though...

Congrats! Love to see another jersey retirement.

F - Mikko Lahtinen @weekz

#1 and #3 are my favorites. I like #1 a lot but the think that put me off was the choice of font to be honest. So I voted #3, I like the lighting and text a lot there. Obviously the S74 would have to be changed lol

1. With the recent hiring of new VHLM GMs, share your thoughts on how this will help the league. I think Rory is a good member and I think he should be great in Halifax, Thad has burst onto the scene so I'm intrigued by what he might do in charge of San Diego, and Zetterberg is a pretty active presence from what I saw in both the Yukon LR back when I was there along with the Pro-Am this offseason. So I think they're all pretty good hires and I'm looking forward to seeing what they each do with their teams. 2. Would you be pissed if your player ratings were reset to 40 (you'll still have your tpe)? I mean as long as I can apply it back again, not really. My ratings are all pretty simple right now (five attributes at 90, two at 80). Although if Experience went back to 35 I'd be a bit annoyed; I just had to claim three seasons' worth of experience points this offseason because I forgot to do it lmao. 3. What's one goal in life you want to achieve? This is a very big question and to be honest I don't know if it's one I have the answer to. I mean I have straightforward goals that I haven't accomplished yet, like have a fulfilling relationship, or a career that makes me happy. I'm still young, so there's a lot I'd like to achieve. 4. How has the off-season been for you? Not bad. Been able to really get my TPE earning up before next season, I thought it would feel long but it honestly hasn't. I think stuff like the awards show and the draft has made it go by quicker. 5. Chewy or hard chocolate chip cookies? Chewy all the way. Especially fresh home-made chewy chocolate chip cookies. 6. Quik recently said that we need a new mascot for the team. Do you have any ideas on what our new mascot should be? I was going to suggest some kind of bird, but like all of our mascots so far have been unrelated to an actual phoenix. And firecat got us pretty far last season. So we need something related to fire. Maybe the "this is fine" dog? Or that could seem to negative. I dunno, I'm not a mascot expert.
