Review: Not a bad looking graphic. I am not sure you do any render cutting. It looks like a stock photo with some effects added though I could be wrong. I like the detail in the face. Logo swap looks good. NHL branding show be removed. Funny swirl effects you put in this. Text looks good where it's at. Not bad. 8/10

Review: A good attempt at making this your own. Nice shoulder patches. I think a chest logo was possible. The render placement isn't bad. I like to see the top of the helmet clipped but this works. Text needs to be placed somewhere else. I would like to see the reflections on the visor cleaned up. Good overall sig 8/10

73. We play Chicago. Predict the series outcome for who wins! Not Chicago. 74. Who ends up having the most goals in the series? I think AJ goes in beast mode and scores a ton. 75. Who will have the most hits in the series? Good Ol' Vinny. 76. Will @oilmandan shut out Chicago once during the series? If the team plays good in front of him, I would expect to see a shutout or two. 77. What is one way Seattle is advertising the series on TV commercials to get fans hyped? I think a montage of goals scored during the season would get fans ramped. 80. Seattle plays a prank on Chicago to break the ice. What do they do? I like the "Super Glue" bench prank.

I appreciate your comment. Let me clear up a few points. This is a photo manipulation that took many hours to construct. I made everything you see from common stock. It has a religious undertone to it but that was to depict the level of admiration for the person I made this for. I didn't just find a picture and add a stick, logo and puck. Thanks again for your comment @Eynhallow

Much beloved and appreciated @Banackock

This could be the best graphic I have seen from you. Excellent work.

There you go, getting all technical on me. Go Bears!!!

It's coming down to the last handful of games and the race for the top spot is as close as it gets. Seattle looks to be crowned number one overall but Moscow isn't giving up one bit. It will most likely come down to a one point difference. While Seattle enjoys being in the North American conference with no chance of losing it's number one spot. Moscow is in a terrifying conference in Europe. I don't know why that have all the good teams but it seems that they are very strong compared to the us. I know we have beaten Moscow and in turn they have bitch slapped us as well. I think that would be a very good series to watch. Playoffs are either fun as hell and very exciting or a dull time when you don't make it. At least Seattle clinched early and the pressure is off, for now. We are well prepared to play anyone and determined to win the cup. I know this team well. We are in a position I have seen a few times and I like it.

65. Who is the best worst team - LA or Davos? Who finishes last? How many points? I think LA unfortunately is going to be the bottom of the league. Neither team will break 50 points. 66. Will Helsinki make the playoffs? If not, which team from EU misses out instead of them? I don't see Helsinki making it. 67. What are your doing for the weekend/long weekend in Canada? Drinking beer and not thinking about hockey. 68. Which players will hit 100 points for the Seattle Bears? Our top two players should hit that with any luck at all. 69. @Steve leads the team with 113 blocked shots. How do they heal the bruises after the game? I am not sure Max leads the team but I would think two shots over ice would help heal. 70. @dasboot leads the team with an 11.19 shooting percentage. How does he practice his lethal shot/aim? I think he plays a lot of CoD. Has good aim and reflexes.

Review: Nice design. I think I understand where you were going with this one. I really like the text in the lighter red cloud. Not sure you needed the Seattle bears text. Logo looks huge and not very well fitted to the player but those can be hard to do sometimes. I think a bit of levels adjustment on the render to make him pop through all the clouds would help or just some lighting on that layer. Good job overall. 8/10

Review: Looks like a good start. Render doesn't look too bad, just a little rough around the edges. Text is readable and fits in well. Background is not much to talk about but does cover the correct color palette. I would work on getting a higher resolution render and work with it more. Like detail, lighting and shadows. Layer a few different backgrounds to make something unique. You covered the general bases here. 7/10

Looking at the standings, it seems obvious the European Conference is the dominate one. So many good teams compared to the North American Conference. For example, the second place team in North America would be in fourth place in the European Conference. The second place team in Europe would be the second place team in North America. Another indicator of the strength they have is the goal differential. Only two team in North America are on the plus side while only two team in Europe is on the negative end. I have no idea why this is other than the luck of the draw or some other reason that I can't figure out but it sure looks weird. While Seattle has been running away from the pack in North America, there is at least one team in Europe that can compete for the top spot. Moscow and Riga battles will be interesting to watch. I have no idea what any of this means or if it even matters. Just some random thoughts about the standings. Stay safe everyone.

1. You have to make a 3 song playlist for your team. What songs do you personally choose? I don't know what songs I would pick. Something from the "Hair Band" era, some ballad from a rock group and then some rap song from a person that just has initials. 2. AJ Williams was caught drinking out at a club... he got into some trouble!! What did @ajwllmsn do?? Grabbed the stripper. Never try to touch a stripper. 3. @Jubis Zeedayno Chara was out seen walking with a celebrity... relationship rumours hit TMZ.. who were they with? It was Ryan Reynolds. Ya, he is hot. 4. Who is the most overrated VHL player? Max Torq 5. Who is the most underrated VHL player? Max Torq. 6. Who is the best GM in the league. Bana of course.

Review: Good looking design. Text knockouts can be fun to look at. I like the brick wall blowout and the red coloring. The only concern to me is that you can't really tell much about the render other than there is a player in there which looks like a stock photo. Maybe a cut render with a different background would make it more unique. Good effort. 8/10

Review: Fairly basic sig. Looks good for the most part. I like the render detail. Nice shadowing effect but I don't see a light source. Background is not bad but has that stock feel to it. Splatter and smoke seem to be popular so it looks fitting here. Text is clear, easy to read, not much else going on with it. It does look balanced and has a good feel to it. 8/10

Looking at the games that have been played and the players that are doing well, I think this new system is working as intended. It really cut the top off and brought the bottom up a bit. Seems like any player can do good in any given game. I don't like spending so much tpe just to get one skill to jump up one point but I guess that is the whole point. It's going to take a bit to get used to this system and I look forward to re-rolling next season. I see some wasted tpe in my build and hopefully by the end of the season, I will have a clearer picture of what I need to do. Overall, Torq has played well. Better than I expected actually but I think he can do better. We always strive to get the most out of our players especially when you are on the Seattle team. Winning is a driving force and motivates us all to do our best. Good luck to everyone and stay safe.

47. The Bears have whipped up a magic potion to help them win. What is in this potion? All the normal potion stuff but the secret ingredient is the tears from the Vancouver players. 49. You are allowed to bring in one celebrity to pump up the team. Who do you bring and what do they do? I would bring in Will Smith to slap us into shape. 50. A beer company has approached you and lets you name their brand. What do you name it? Bear Piss. 51. What are you up to this week? Just another week with nothing special going on. It's the way I like it. 52. How is VHL going for you? It's been worse. For the most part it has been good. 53. How is Seattle going for you? Going good in Seattle. Winning is a good thing and we do that a lot.

Review: I really like your work. This sig looks really good. It's hard to get a double render graphic to look balanced. It looks a bit left heavy but the dark background seems to help balance the renders. The large render looks like a head swap. It looks detailed and dominates the graphic. Not sure about the large logo swap, maybe it could have been blended better. The small render looks sharp and seems to play well with the large one. Seems like text is a strong point in your work, well done. Outside of some lighting issues, at first look it is a good looking graphic. Well done. 8/10

Review: Good looking sig. Theme is solid and the color palette is consistent. The render looks bright and clean and the background fits the theme. I like the detail of the renders face. I think the logo swap is ok but seems too big maybe. Text is very good looking but the placement looks off. I don't think the splatter layer was needed and it's a bit distracting but that's a design choice. Overall a good job. 8/10

This has been, so far, a very exciting season. As we work on our new builds and teams adjust their lines, we see that the race to the top is very tight. In my opinion, any team in the top six could make a run and be on top. The top three, Seattle, Riga and Moscow are really playing well and it would take a major error in strategy to see anyone of those teams drop very far. It's really setting the league up for one of the most contested playoffs in recent memory. This is a direct reflection on the new hybrid system as far as I can tell. Though I am not a huge fan of spending a ton of TPE on a skill just to increase the Simon skill by one point, I see the reasoning behind it. Good teams that are putting in the effort seem to be getting results. Teams that are rebuilding are about where you would expect them to be. So in all fairness, we are a functioning league as it stands at this moment. I don't believe that I am an outlier on this opinion. The league is going down the right track. The Seattle Bears has been a pleasure to play on and Max has been doing really good to this point in the season. I would hope he only gets better but If he must maintains his play, he will end up being a solid defender with a bit of scoring. We are all benefiting from this new hybrid era. Let's go out and have some fun.

Review: Not a bad sig but it has so much more potential. The main focus should be the player/render. There are many ways to increase detail and colors that are easy to do and would turn this into an above average sig. Render size seems small. It could have been enlarged to clip his helmet on the top edge. That would be a step in the right direction and help it fall into one of the many formats that are used in graphics. A simple levels adjustment could make your render match or exceed your background intensity. Background is a good looking foundation but it distracts more than compliments. Text should also fall into more of a traditional format. I like the text, I don't like where you placed it. Everything is subjective to a point. You have the elements, just need to work them a bit more to bring this project to life. Good effort. 8/10

Review: You have all the elements required to make a graphic. Render looks clean and sharp. Logo swap isn't bad. Background design I think could have more impact if the formatting were different. Text doesn't look like it belongs where it is. Overall I think you have a good product. The effort is there. 8/10

40. If you could combine any animals together to create one META animal, which would you combine? A bear and a lizard. What would be cooler than to pull the tail off a bear and have it grow back. 41. Which VHL team do you think would be worth the most money if a real team and for sale? I haven't look at any team to determine it's value. I think Seattle of course would be worth the most but I am biased. 42. Elon Musk wants to bring green energy to hockey. What are some ideas you'd have for him? He would make an electric powered Zamboni. 43. The portal to me could add some personality. What are some things you'd add or change about the portal to potentially improve it? I don't really know. A few pillows and a throw rug goes a long way. 44. ACDC just wrote a new single about the Seattle Bears. What was the title of the song? What is the song like? Feel free to share a verse or two Well, I think " It's a short trip to the Top if you are Seattle" would be a good song title. Starts out slow and builds into a total screamer at the end. 45. What keeps you coming back to the VHL? A lot of fun and the league is getting better each season. Why not come back?
