A step in any direction is better than standing still. I am happy this is being implemented. Good job

Twenty games left and Seattle is starting to click a bit better. It's been a typical feeling out season with so many younger players. I think we are headed in a good direction as a team. Time to make a push going into the playoffs. I believe we have a good shot at making in but there are a lot of good teams we need to beat to be successful. I believe in the team and Bana. We will do this. I couldn't be happier with Max. Although he was never intended to be a leader board princess, he is doing better than I expected in his rookie season. He seems responsible in his own end and has scored a few times. I hope to build on that and have him play a bigger role in the next season or two. Lucky he plays with some real talent or his play might be a different story. We are all good though. Team wins together and loses together. A great locker room with awesome team mates. We are bound to have success and reach the ultimate goal of winning a cup. When that happens has yet to be determined, but it will happen.

Review: I like this design. I think you went down the right path on many levels. I like the background and the text looks good. Logo swap is good. I think the killer for me is the sharpness you used on the renders head. It is way over baked compared to the soft jersey/torso. Good job on the visor, just a bit too sharp. Great work though 8/10

Review: This is a big graphic. For the most part it is interesting to look at. I don't really like the design but can appreciate others work. I would think the text could be larger and have some contrast added to it. Overall, it looks like you made something you wanted. Logo looks a bit off but not a major distracter. Good effort. 7/10

59. I sent cards out to several of my friends but nobody replied. I made myself my Valentine and took myself out to a bar and hit on myself all night. 60. Funny thing that they picked Max Torq for the advertisement. They named it "Ball Sweat". 61. The worlds best pizza of course. 62. A few unnamed players thought the boss, Bana, could use a little pranking. They left a box of his favorite chocolates in his office, laced with Exlax. 62b. Still looking for a bit of consistency. We are getting closer. 63. Looks like Dan Dan has been the player to beat this season.

I really like your work.

With the season more than half over, Seattle has been showing some signs of positive growth. Fighting hard to progress in the standings. This fairly young team has been working hard. The players are doing their part and keeping up with training and working with team mates to get some chemistry going. It has been working for the most part and as predicted, Seattle is getting stronger as the season moves along. Hopefully by the time the playoffs roll around, Seattle will be in a position that will put us in the show. I have no reason to think we won't make the playoffs. All in all, it's been a positive rookie season for Max Torq. Not any stat sheet leader but has shown a bit of talent on the back end, where he should be. He also is getting the hang of being a part of the power play and has gotten a few goals. It's only getting better. Should be a fun home stretch run for Seattle. Never a dull moment.

51. I would want Kempe from the Kings. 52. It was a fun day. He threw some ribeyes on the grill and we watched the move Slapshot before we watched the Super Bowl. 53. We have had good runs and not so good runs. I think we are just finding ourselves and will be a productive team in short order. 54. If it has anything to do with the so called "Meta" build, they I hope the league makes all core skills relevant. 55. He is a good player and I believe he will reach that mark. He will get the puck passed to him more often than not. 56. I don't remember a thing other than waking up in a holding cell.

Review: I really like your design. For the most part the render look very clean with the exception of the players stick. The logo swap is okay, not bad but could be a bit better. Text is alive and looks badass. Downside is you left NHL branding on the render. It's easy to remove and can be replaced with VHL emblems/logos. Overall, sick looking graphic. Love the design. 8/10

Review: At first glance, it looks like a really smooth sig. Nice focus on the players face and the text compliments the render without overpowering it. Your color palette choice seems to work. I am not a huge fan of the effects on the render but that is a design choice. If I had to point out anything that was obvious, I would say the lack of a logo and the NHL collar emblem is the only issue I have with this sig. Overall you did a good job and it is pleasing to look at. 8/10

It's twenty four games into the season and things have gotten better in Seattle. Still looking for the best solutions to some issues but really, it comes down to the players getting good. It's an ongoing process that you just have to stick with or you and your team will not move forward. Since playing in the league, I have found hard work and a desire to be the best you can be is the foundation for success. I think the players on Seattle for the most part are doing everything they can to get better. I know every other team is doing the same thing but we can only control what we do as a team. Striving to be the best and having the desire doesn't mean instant gratification but a road map to follow in pursuit of success. We as players and as a team will get there. This season is just a small snap shot of the overall picture and we aren't letting the ups and downs take our focus away from the right path. There are no knee jerk moves being made and the team laces them up everyday and tries to do their best. GO BEARS!!!

Review: High contrast graphics are fun to look at. I think, for the most part, you did a fine job with this one. I like the formatting even though the background is very wide and somewhat distracting. You could have gotten rid of the NJ logo and added the team logo but I think it is still a fun one to look at. The bright text fits in well. Good job overall. 8/10

Review: Not a bad design concept. I like the idea of the flames, render and background all blended together. I think overall you did a fine job. I think the render is muted a bit but I can't really complain as it fits with your design choice. Text looks like it fits and I really like the quote at the bottom in yellow. Good job. 8/10

30. What are your thoughts to the start of Seattle's season? It was a feeling out period that was totally expected. 31. How has your player done so far? I think for a rookie he has done well. 32. What's something that surprises you most to start of the season? We still don't have Soap on a Rope in the showers. 33. VHL Discord moderation seems to me a theme lately. What are your thoughts on it? I don't hang there much and haven't been caught up in any of that. 34. Valentines Day is coming up. Do you have any plans? Going out to dinner, some drinks and whatever follows after. I might even take my wife. 35. Do you have any memories, whether recent or childhood, of Valentines Day that are "funny", "Cute", "interesting"? etc. I have no childhood memories that I know of. I think that in itself is interesting.

24. A new kind of cereal just came out and wants some of the Bears players to be in a commercial. Who was in it, what was the name of the cereal and what happened in the commercial? Cereal was called "Fruits and Nuts". Hogan and Torq were in it but it was canned once Torq showed his actual nuts. 25. @Jubis Zeedayno Chara was caught by TMZ last night eating out and catching drinks with a celebrity date. Who was it?? He went out with Bana. Things went south when Chara made a move. 26. Justin Lose @youloser1337 went on a reality TV show. What show did they go on and what went down??? He was on "Love Island". Still doesn't know why nobody else showed up. Episode never aired. 27. @M0XI recently signed as an undrafted FA. His teammates played some pranks on him in his hotel room. What did they do?? I will say it one last time. The "Super Glue" was not mine. 28. @SlapshotDragon Sigard Petrenko has some pretty strange superstitions. NAME ONE! A strange one indeed. He wears his athletic supporter backwards. I didn't as why. 29. @oilmandan got a tattoo of a bear with it saying something "_______". What is the Bear tattoo saying and where is it on him?? It's on his right ass cheek and says, "Does the Pope shit in the woods?".

The season started and what a fun time it is. All the teams are getting their players matched up with the best players they have. Adjustments are being made and teams are learning exactly what they have to work with. The ups and downs of the start if this season hasn't been a huge surprise. You never really know where you are until you play several games and have tired different line combinations. Always something to mess with to see what clicks. Seattle started off a bit slower than most but have been doing the little things to make the team more successful. We should be off and running is short order. They players are doing their best to improve their game play and learning to play with new line mates. It will all come together with time. Seattle is know for being a tough opponent more towards the end of the season. I expect it will be the same this season. Max has been hard at work trying to keep up with the big boys in the league. It will take him some time to get his game where it needs to be but I have no doubts that he will be a good blue liner by the end of the season. Fun times in the VHL as a rookie.

Review: I like the design of this sig. Background is a bit simple but I think that is what you were going for. The render, while good, could have been cleaned up a bit like remove the NHL collar logo and the reflections off the visor. A team logo somewhere would have been a nice touch but sometimes it's doesn't work with the design. Text looks so simple yet I think it works really well. I like the overall look of this project. Just, in my opinion, it could have been worked on a bit more to fine tune it. Well done. 8/10

Review: Very well done. A traditional sig with a proper format looks good. I like the render and the ties it has to the background. The text is functional and does what it needs to do without any real issues. I would say it is a good example of what a good foundation looks like. Good stuff. 8/10
