Happy Birthday!!

Review: You did a great job with this graphic. The background render is well blended and muted enough to not make it the focal point. The main render is sharp and clean with minimal effects, which looks fine. I like the almost Triptych look when you use the side panels. Looks classy for sure. The text has an art feel and fits this design very well. If I had to change anything, I think I would have blended the render just a bit into the background palette or soften the render's outline a bit. Overall, it's a winner. Well done. 9.5/10

Review: I really like this design. I am a sucker for high contrast graphics and you have a really good blend of highs and shadows. The format is unconventional but it seems balanced enough to work. The renders look very good with the logo swap and placement. The text fits the design so not much to say about that. I would say the only thing that, in my opinion, should be done is removing all NHL branding. Arm patches, collar logos, all that stuff. Overall, I like what you did and the work it took to get it this far. Well done. 9/10

1. NHL offseason has begun!!!! What moves you liking so far if you pay attention to it at all. If you don't know much about the NHL what do you hope your team in any sport accomplishes this year in general? Trevor Lewis got signed by the Kings. Good locker room guy. 2. Do we miss the Key Tracker? I've been busy and would love to retroactively go back and hand them out if people want it but I'll gauge interest here. I didn't pay much attention to it. Not sure what it is actually. 3. What team if any are we dreading meeting in the postseason? I am not dreading anything. We play our game and we will best anyone. 4. Do we want more emojis of my cat in the discord? It's what I live for. More is always better. 5. We are doing well with the roster we have, but should we be considering trading for assets to bolster for the playoffs? Only if you want to deal with finding chemistry again. 6. Former cup winner and 2x Reaper Jeffery Blake is OTB, do we trade for the franchise legend and let him ride the pine to his second ship, or is that a waste of time? We are good the way we are.

It's been an exciting season so far for Axle Gunner. He has shown that he can play the game when given the chance to. With only a dozen or so games left he should be near the top in a few categories. Being on a very talented team does help a lot. Everyone seems to be ready for the playoff run which is great to see. Hopefully our regular season dominance will translate to a dominate playoff run to the cup. Of course, we are talking about Simon, so anything can happen. I have confidence in the team and the GM to make everyone's dream come true. Another bright spot on the team is our goalie, Karl Herzlich. He has been the best in the league and a positive voice in the locker room. I hope the best for him, he is very much the reason we are where we are. He has a bright future in the big league. Looking forward to playing in the VHLE. That should be fun and it will be the first time to experience that league. I think it's the right call instead of jumping to the VHL just to have a really shitty rookie season. That one extra season should give a player a much more viable build to start his/her big league career. Everyone have a great week and stay safe.

End of Career

It's more of a graphic than a sig but I did forget to ping him. Thought he treated me very good on his team.

The season has been moving right along and for the most part, it's been great. Philly is a strong team and looks to be a true cup contender. Though other teams have been playing us hard, we are just working on lines so we can adjust during the playoffs. The team is playing really well and the players are fully of excitement. Axle Gunner is on a hot streak and now leads the league in points. We will see if that changes as many are capable of performing at a high level. Meanwhile, it's all about being ready for the playoffs. It has been fun playing on the Philly team. Not sure I could have picked a better starting team. Great leadership. Another thing I have been watching is my retired player, Max Torq. He has lead the DC team in points for some time and is on his way to having a stellar farewell season. He needs 30 more points this season to end his 8 season career at a point per game average. He has had a really fun career and hope he can reach that point mark before he is a full time golfer. Good luck to everyone and always stay safe. Word count: 205

Review: Great player to pick if that's Kempe. I like how you, for the most part, made this a good looking VHL graphic. Nice color work, the desaturated look really works with this one. I like the text. That font really only works with a few titles or names and this is one of them. Very nice flow with the text. I think the only thing you could have done would have been to get rid of the shoulder patches and NHL collar logos. Overall I like this style. You took a photo and made it your own. Great job. 9/10

Review: Very nice blending/brush work on this one. I really like the overall look of this graphic. Very warm color palette which always, in my opinion, looks better than cool. Logo swap is spot on and your text is simple yet effective. I think the only thing I would have worked on is bring a bit of highlights to the render's face. It looks a little muted but not bad at all. I like this style and glad you went down this path. Great job. 9.10

Great idea, I was just pointing out the work needed on the portal. Ya, a player pic would be badass for sure. I can imagine all the strange player faces already.

Great job

You just can't beat a great evil grin...

Well done sir.

They can't fix the old age fighter ratios so I don't think they have the want to add this. Great idea though.

Good take on the matter.

It's theme week. I had to do something.

1. I think the team is packed with talent and it will continue to dominate. 2. I have no idea. Sometimes it just takes some hard love to get players to earn and improve. 3. I haven't been surprised by much in the league. Maybe how many seasons players are playing in a development league is surprising. 4. I think several players have a shot. 5. I don't look past our team and there are many that impress me. 6. They did kind of okay.
