Reign Not Living Up to Early Expectations
Seabass replied to tcookie's topic in Archived Media Spots
Your media spot added some insight on the Reign's early season struggles and I enjoyed the use of player quotes in the article. I however would of liked some insight on why your team is struggling. I agree with you though this Reign team just looks too good on paper to continue sucking this hard. Just got to have some patience things will eventually turn around hopefully. 7/10 -
The Saskatoon Wild are now sitting on top of the Eastern Conference after a 2-0 shutout victory over the Houston Bulls. The Wild are one of the hottest teams in the VHLM at the moment and are only behind the Mississauga Hounds who are 4 points ahead of them in the VHLM standings. à The one thing that has helped the Wild become a top team is their high scoring offense who has been near or at top of the VHLM all season long. The team has two players that are on the leagues top 10 scorers list with Duncan Montana and Griff Mackenzie both tied for fourth with 28 points. That wouldn't be possible without the help they've been getting from their backend as David Tavau and Nixon Caldwell are amongst the league top 5 defenders in points. The special teams have also been dependable with the powerplay sitting 3rd in the league with a 24% success rate and their penalty kill sits 5th with a 81.76% success rate. The Seabasstard has also helped the team by winning draws as he currently leads the league with his 64.75 % faceoff win rate. It seems like the Wild are doing everything right but an issue for the team in the past has been consistency and even though they've started the year hot they'll have to keep winning to prove that they are serious contenders this year.

Presser Questions 1. Which team do you think has most surprised you this season? 2.We're currently the highest scoring team in the VHLM with 41 goals so far. Do you think we can keep that up until season's end? 3. What are your thoughts on the league's longer than usual offseason? 4. If you end up working your way to riches in the VHL what is one of the first things you'd buy? 5. Tell me something good that's going on with your life right now. 6. What is one thing you'd like to recommend to the younger generation of players behind you?

Love these Hall of fame articles and this one didnt dissapoint. You obviously did a lot of research into this article as you even got some personal details from Andrienne's past point tasks. I feel you did a good job in keeping the reader engaged throughout and I think you went pretty in depth. I find it does lack a few photos or maybe some of Andrienne's past signature photos in it however. Else than that it was a perfect read. 9/10

As someone who lives under a rock and doesn't pay attention much to other teams but mine I find this was a little helpful recap on what had happened during the offseason and who moved who. Overall I find you formatted your article in a way which is easy to follow but could use some team colors to the text. Informative and quite a few tags to get people's attention. Overall I enjoyed the article and look forward to see you write some more. 9/10

"This has been the longest offseason ever. I've been bored as hell not playing any games. I eagerly am anticipating the next VHLM season. I've really worked on my game this offseason and I feel like I'm ready to show everyone that I can take my game to whole new level. I feel like I'm faster and stronger compared to last season and I'm sure I'll be able to get some VHL scouts to notice me this season. I'm just really excited to get this thing started already. Last year I feel like I played okay and I was able to set some of my team mates up but I was always looking for that pass, I barely took any shots on net. I wasn't really seizing some good scoring chances and this year I worked on my shot in order to gain some confidence in it and I want to try to shoot the puck more this year. I'm just really excited to build on last years good start and show everyone I can be a star in the VHL someday. "

Saskatoon Wild Dispersal Draft Recap Just last weekend the VHLM held it's Dispersal Draft for Season 77. Draft day is an exciting time for all players but more specifically all of the VHL community's newcomers as this is usually their first big event. For some this day makes or breaks their odds of staying an active member of the VHL community even. This year there was a lot of talent in this draft, however nobody was really standing out as the clear cut 1st overall pick. TPE wise the top 5 players in the draft was, Jan Hlozek at 206, Nick Caldwell (198), Hard Markinson (173) , Gustislavv Nasherov (173) and The Loch Ness Monster (170). The Loch Ness Monster was the lucky player that ended up having the honors of being selected 1st overall in the S77 VHLM Dispersal Draft after being selected by the San Diego Marlins. Nils Tallinder and Gus Nasherov went 2nd and 3rd overall respectively to finish up the top 3. The Saskatoon Wild was originally in a position where they had a selection to make in the top 5 (4th overall) and one selection in the top 10 (7th overall) which was originally acquired from the Las Vegas Aces in S76. Come draft day GM @Doomsdaysurprised everyone by trading down from the 4th overall spot to the 9th overall spot after a deal with the Mississauga Hounds. Rumour has is that the team had eyes on former Wild, Jan Hlozek but had come to the conclusion that he wouldn't be available by the 4th Overall selection and thus traded the pick down to the Aces to gain a pick in the third round. .In the end not only was Hlozek available by the 4th pick selection but he dropped down the draft and was almost available with the Wild's 7th pick but, the Miami Marauders snagged him at 6th. 1st Round, 7th Overall Nixon Caldwell @Kendrick One team need was pretty clear. The Wild only had one defender (Tanky) returning from last season and had many roster spots on the blueline to fill. So it was not surprising to see the Wild try to address that right off the hop and picked Nixon Caldwell with their 7th overall selection. Caldwell is a recreated player who managed to hit over 50 points and had a plus/minus of +44 in his rookie season with the Philadelphia Reapers. The kid has hands and vision and plays with a lot of confidence with the puck. He has a very active stick and is an above average skater. He was well enough defensively to be trusted by his former coach in clutch situations and on the penalty kill and I figure Caldwell will play top minutes as a Wild and be a fixture on the team's top pairing. He also has the potential to be a future VHL powerplay quarterback if he keeps on building off his 51 point his rookie season. 1st Round, 9th Overall The Seabasstard @Seabass The Seabasstard, well that's me. In my mind I should've went 1st overall as I'm obviously going to be a superstar in the VHL someday but I somehow dropped to the Wild at the 9th overall selection. Big mistake by the 5 teams that passed me up and I'll triple shame @Zetterberg by tagging him in this because he specifically really dropped the ball by passing up on me three times. Pfft loser. Anyways I'm building my player to be more of a faceoff ace for my team and envisioning myself becoming a much faster Yannick Perreault type player once I make the VHL. My player can crush it at both ends of the ice and should be a good a solid addition for the Wild's penalty kill. I figure I'll end up centering the Wild's first or second line. 2nd Round, 16th Overall David Tavau @Ahma The Wild were luck enough to also have 2 selections in the 2nd round of the draft and it used it's first one by picking up defenseman, David Tavau further addressing their roster holes on defense. David Tavau was an interesting pickup since he only has a small sample window to analyze, having only played 9 games last season in the VHLM playing for the San Diego Marlins. In those nine games Tavau displayed more of a two way defender kind of game. He has shown that he's confident and agile while handling the puck under pressure and is able to skate like the wind. While Tavau can move the puck over to his teammates efficiently he needs to work on his shot some more if he wants to be a real threat offensively. I envision Tavau will progress towards having a breakout year playing for the Wild this season. Keep an eye on him 2nd Round, 23rd Overall Raphael Sonier @raphaelsonier9815 With their 2nd pick in the 2nd round the Wild continued to add to their defense corps by picking up Raphael Sonier off of the Miami Marauders where the young defender played a full 72 game season. In those 72 games Sonier displayed a more stay at home defender style of game showing. Sonier was rarely caught out of position and was able to use his body the shut plays down with either a well timed shot block or a brutal open ice hit. Sonier will be able to help the Wild add some oomph to their roster as nobody else than Tanky plays with an edge to their game. Sonier had 180+ hits to his name in his rookie season and I fully expect the Wild to split Tanky and Sonier up to spread that physicality around the lineup. I can foresee seeing Sonier pairing up nicely with Tavau on the team's 2nd pairing. 3rd Round 26th Overall TheCHEESE @TheCHEESE TheCHEESE returns to the Wild for another season after the Wild selected the player with 26th Overall pick the team picked up by dropping down in the first round. TheCHEESE is a two way forward that played limited minutes for the Wild last season due to the team having a lot of depth on the right wing. This season TheCHEESE only has Jordan Heavens to compete with at the moment for a roster spot come training camp. TheCHEESE didn't provide much offense last year scoring 9 pts in 48 games. The small winger winger is however in a position to even compete for the 1st line, if he comes into training game having better refined his game and gaining a few pounds, TheCHEESE will get an opportunity to become a big contributor to this team. Hopefully the added minutes this year will help give him the chance to chip in more on the offense and gain some more confidence out on the ice. 3rd Round 29th Overall Duncan Montana @124715 The Wild ended up going with two former Wild in the third round by selecting Duncan Montana with their 2nd selection of the third round of the draft after acquiring the pick from Philadelphia in exchange for a 2nd rounder in the next draft. Montana like TheCHEESE got limited ice time last year due to all the depth at his position. Much like TheCHEESE, Montana only has one other player to compete with for ice time so far this season so he's due to see a increase in ice time. Montana has the size and the offensive tools to make things happen. The man displayed that he has a set of hands in practice and with another offseason worth of conditioning Montana will be back faster and stronger this season. Montana had a good look late last season playing on the 2nd line and he played well alongside The Seabasstard. Maybe reuniting the two can create some kind of chemistry long term. 7th Round, 76th Overall Keshawn Harris @Domkey The Wild didn't have any picks left in the draft after the third round else than their one 7th round pick which was used up to pick up the young goaltender, Keshawn Harris. There is nothing out there on Harris, nothing, no scouting reports, no news articles, nothing. While not much is known about Harris I expect him to take up the team's backup role this season behind Andrew Bowman who could very well be playing his last season in the VHLM. If Harris can keep improving himself as the team's backup he could eventually be given the opportunity to take the reigns as the starter next season. In Conclusion I think our General Manager did an adequate job in filling up the holes in his roster hopefully he selected a good active crop of players so Saskatoon can be rocking this upcoming season. I think the people of Saskatoon will be pleased to hear that I think this team has the potential to make the playoffs this year. However is the talent on this team elite enough to make them reach the later rounds? Only time will tell. Go Wild Go! Other odd mentions: @Bojovnik @TXC @StormJordanYT @BrutalBoost @LuluSalesAway

Well there you have it, The Seabasstard will return to the Saskatoon Wild after being drafted 9th overall the first round of the VHLM Dispersal Draft. " I'm relieved to find myself back in Saskatoon as I thought for a second that Houston might pick me up the pick before them at 8th. I'm thankful they didn't as I'm excited to be once again a member of the Wild. I feel like we started a good thing at the end of last year and I'm really happy to be back and to be able to just build on that. I'm also very fortunate to drafted along with some of the other guys I got to play with me @TheCHEESE TheCHEESE and Duncan Montana @124715. Hopefully we can keep working on our on ice chemistry and recreate some the spark we had at the end of last season. " By being drafted 9th overall in the VHLM Dispersal Draft that makes, The Seabasstard the highest drafted player of mine to appear in the VHLM.
