Apparently, I am using the old logo. Corrections will be coming.

As I look back on my run with Malmo, I realized that this is one fun place to be in this league. I am not sure I will experience this feeling again with Max but it was truly a special time in his career. This last season has been filled with high hopes and an active locker room. Players talking shit about other teams, dogs and cats living together, you know, the whole world was a crazy place as the team went out on the ice and kicked a few butts. We not only played to win a cup, we played to win a cup for each other. A team effort that never let up and the coach was hands on guiding our team in the right direction. It was a fun and intense. We had a blast. All good things do have to end at some point and everyone was fully aware that this season would most likely be our last together. Kaleeb traded away the aging players and has a good foundation now for the future. It was sad to see my friends move on but knowing that we had something special in our last season will always stay with us. Now, let's see what kind of damage Max can do in Riga. It should be a good challenge but there are many quality players on the team and I look forward to the season to start. Stay classy Malmo

Review: I really like fun themed graphics. You did a good job with this one. I think he looks frozen enough to say he is in Cryo along with is pet wolf. The ice layer looks so real I had to put a jacket and gloves on to review this graphic. I can almost smell the ice. Truly a test of skill to pull this off. You did a fine job and not I am going to sit by a campfire to warm up. Render looks good and the effects really work here. Good job. 8/10

Review: Cool looking dude. Nothing says confidence like a pair of mirrored sunglasses. This player could very well be a great goalie in the VHL. like the name placement, it's easy to read. Nice long and firm handlebar mustache has that 1970's Porn star vibe going for it. Overall I think you have a good looking player with a cool and unique look to him. Brilliant work. 8/10

Well Malmo had one hell of a ride this season. Making into the playoffs was the goal and we did succeed only to face the incredibly talented Moscow team. We pulled together and played a great series to defeat the team that many feared. We went on to be defeated in an all out war against the Davos team. We took them to seven games but came out on the short end. We had a blast making it that far even though we didn't make it to the the winners circle, it was a moral win for the team. Malmo is often overlooked by other players but they shouldn't. It has one of the best locker rooms I have seen in the VHL and everyone there I can call a friend. It's a great team with a very honest and transparent leader. I hope any FA looking for a good team to play on takes a closer look at Malmo. With all the said, this will be a transitional off season. Many big names on the team will most likely be traded in search for some youth to fill in the ranks. It's just the way it has to be and the funny part is, most players that will get moved just wants the best for Malmo. That says a lot about a team that some articles had us losing fast in the first round. Big heart in Malmo. I wish them all the best if Max moves on.

Review: You have a good graphic going here. Yes there are things I would do differently but that is subjective. I like the render and background combination. The text I'm not crazy about but that's your design choice and you ran with it. I think one thing I would point out is the overall balance seems off. The render is on the right looking right. Seems it would work better if it was on the left looking right towards the text that you would have to move . Overall you have something interesting to look at. Good logo swap. Good job. 8/10

Review: Looks like the start of a great graphic. I like the overlay effect and the render really looks good behind it. The text is working well with your other effects. I think one of the issues I have with this graphic is the lack of branding for one and the overall balance. Maybe if the text was moved to the left it would balance it out and add a logo or something with a team or vhl. Good looking for what you have, just needs to be finished off. 8/10

42. Bana doing what he does best, he is into 3 ways. Looks like it was a good trade. 43. It's hard to beat established players and most teams that win have a few. Good move. 44. Seattle looks like a fighting team at this point. 45. I would say that after the dust settles, the overall rating would be POSITIVE 46. I think the team will have some shocking results. 47. Vancouver is on a whole other level during the season. They are bound to flop in the playoffs. 48. I know Malmo will make it.

Seems like the BoG are slowly working through issues that should be good for the league. I must have missed the part where the regression fighters in the player store are still the old percents. Or the fact that the TPA tool is using the old percents. Maybe think about increasing the rollover TPE when you recreate since it costs more to improve. Ya gotta look at the big picture, not just a change to the skills. It has a snowball effect and other parts of this sim need to catch up but what do I know. Just my opinion. Good job BoG.

Good luck Davos. Bring the cup home with you. It was a great series against you guys. Class act.

This has certainly turned out to be an odds defying playoffs for Malmo. As I recall and article predicting the Nighthawks would be dominated by the mighty Moscow club. That didn't go very well for Moscow as Malmo showed some muscle and took the series. Now in a fight with a tough team in Davos. A team that will exploit your weaknesses and steamroll you into submission. Well, the Malmo team isn't letting up at all. With contributions from just about everyone on the team and the drive to win, Malmo isn't going to slither off into the night. We are here to play and we are here to win. We will always bounce back from a loss and look to win using teamwork. The team realizes that this is most likely the best season the current roster has to push for a cup. I feel a major player movement in the off season to bring in some younger players is a given. That is a great motivator to push hard and enjoy the time we have while in the playoffs. Good luck to all that remain in the playoffs, I believe Malmo will win the cup, but I am a bit biased.

Review: Now you don't see this style very often. I like the box within the box design and it looks like you did a good job making it look like it's floating. The graphic itself is interesting to say the least. Heavy on the saturation and lack of detail is appealing. The text is a little plain but I guess it fits your design and works as intended. I think to further enhance the 3D effect on the floating middle render, a little texture or noise on your grey layer would be helpful. Overall I like the work. Good job. 8/10

Review: A clever design that has that Latin feel to it, so you nailed your theme. I like the actual artwork background that you find throughout Mexico. The render is an illustration and the background seems to be a photo. I think making the background match your render style would look more balanced but sometimes it hard to pull off. The text isn't horrible and does it's job. Nice logo swap and fitting team colors. I like this graphic. 8/10

Malmo seems to have defied the skeptics and finished in the third slot in the European conference. I think not so long ago, a VSN article had us not doing so well against the teams we beat and even shut out one of them. It just goes to show you how determined Malmo is and the dedication the players have by earning more than they ever have. It's a good time to be in Malmo. I hope we have some puck luck against the almighty Moscow team. You never know until the puck hits the ice how the series will turn out. Sometimes it's a good thing to come into a series as an underdog. We will see very soon. This is most likely Torq's last season with the team. I would think a trade is in the cards as the team is aging and Malmo needs to take a page from Vancouver and have young players working to make the team. All of our defense is the same age and into regression. Not a great sign but one that can be fixed. We will see how the team handles any player movement. I hope it's a plan to become a solid team season to season. I know that's a tall order but I think it's the proper way to build and rotate players. Good luck to all in the playoffs.

Review: Great looking bunch of players. I wonder what one is me. Overall you did a fine job. I really like the shoulder patches. Everything looks well placed and the color change is fitting for the team. I like the vignette though I think the team logo could be on top of it if placed there at all. Good job, great team graphic. 9/10

Review: A very well balanced looking signature. The render and text work together well and the text placement is spot on. The background with the white splatter looks really good and complements the text. The render looks fairly clean but I would like it if he was a tad larger. I know there are faces in the background but the renders eye level raised would bring it more inline with the format I am used to seeing. Overall a great looking graphic. 8/10

It is going to be a crazy end of the season run for Malmo. The conference is so tight in the middle there is not any room for error. Basically there are five teams tied for third place and if you reach out a bit further, there are six teams fighting for second place. I don't think I have ever seen such a gridlock in the league before. I mean, Vancouver is just plain right out a beast of a team. @Frank has done an incredible job with the players that he has put together. What is really scary about Vancouver is the fact that he built a team that is sustainable. Lot's of youth that will fill into a the few older players spots. Well done. Malmo has made a few moves and we are definitely better than last season. We are actually in the fight, which is great to see. Outside of a few really shitty sims, we have been playing well as a team. We hope to make our mark in the playoffs and hopefully not a brown one. Stay safe everyone.

Review: Nice big graphic with a lot of effects. I like the snow and the mystical swirl effect in the background. Even the text looks fitting for this design. I think the render looks good but rather small and overpowered by the effects overlay. I would open him up and try to get the focus on the render more. Other than that, looks cool. Good job. 8/10
