Time to decrease mod pay.

Review: In response to @Red above pretty sure @qripll likes making all his work look retro, he usually does a nice job of pulling it off too. Really like the lay out of the poster and the elements you have. But the blurring of the Penguins logo on the helmet feels lazy after taking the time to do a nice jersey change on the other render. Also matching the lynx colour over both renders jerseys would of been nice. Really like the concept though and the execution was just a bit off. Overall 8/10

@STZ

Review: Really strong jersey change especially the addition of the M shoulder patch. The blending is also nice. I feel like the text 8s a bit recycled but doing point tasks every week it's difficult to stay creative. This a really nice piece overall I'd give it 9/10.

Review: This one is my favourite pieces from you. Really love the style you went for considering the time of season it is. The lighting is nice as it flows with the creepy dangly arms. The colour change for Prague is spot on. The piece overall is really well executed with minimal elements. Overall 9/10

1. Playoffs are upon us. What have you done to prepare for the playoffs? Been putting points into checking cause we all know there's more grind than skill in the playoffs. Hopefully we match up well against Prague. 2. Who do you think is out biggest rival in the European Conference in this playoffs? Malmo, considering they're the defending champions and we matched up well against them in the regular season. 3. If we make it to the finals, who do you think we will face and what would the result be? I think we'll face Chicago and it'll go to 7 games. I'd rather not predict the outcome because of the jinx factor. 4. Do you celebrate Halloween and if so what is your most memorable costume you had? My costumes have all been pretty terrible over the years. But my best would be the time I did a pub crawl and dressed as a basketball hoop. 5. (Fun one and a stolen one) Alright, it's yet another late presser and I want you to guess what I did all week. Wrong answers only. You spent 238 hours coming up wth this presser. That's why you've resorted to this question. 6. How has your favorite NHL team been doing so far this season? Terrible but that's as expected when you cheer for the Vancouver Cubs.

I apply, but only if I can relocate the team to France and call them the Quebec City Meute.

Inactive GM unsure of playoff format.

Review: Been a while since I've seen a Solas sig. Really digging the violet to blue gradient and how is fits so nicely with the de-saturated render and the blue helmet. Really like the focal point as the renders face especially with the image quality. The stock work is really nice and how the text is cut-off at certain points. Really like what you came up with here and the execution is really strong. Overall this is a sexy sig for a sexy new player have to give this a 10/10 I honestly have no complaints.

Review: The jersey change is really nice. Love the use of the coloured stripes. The blur is also well executed without being over done. I'm not sure how I feel about the cursive text in the front especially with the Leblanc in the back. I think this is screaming for a light source though as even with the blur by eyes are looking for a focal point and I tend to focus on the logo more than anything. The renders face is a bit of an after thought. Overall this is a nice sig that was well thought out 9/10.

Aurelien Moreau Tries Real Hard markinson @STZ Moreau celebrates with teammates Papa Emeritus (right) @Beketov and Paul Atreides (left) @Mr_Hatter Aurelien Moreau has begun his fourth season in the VHL playing for the Moscow Menace. He was traded mid season in Season 79 to Moscow. He has fit in seamlessly leading all Moscow defenders with 69 points, nice. The key attribute in Moreau's game is he tries real hard, not as hard as Hard Markinson. Now the aspects in trying real hard can't really be quantified by individual stats or advance stats, it's something only the eye test can confirm. According to many scouts this is one of Moreau's biggest attributes, his work ethic. Though he isn't the smartest hockey player around, he makes up for it by working twice as hard as the next guy. "I want to be a leader in Moscow, obviously not like Vladimir Putin, but someone who leads by example and shows the young guys the ropes, we want to win so there won't be any time for growing pains. Either you want to win too or you want be in Moscow for very long." Moreau said before the season. "Nobody was happy with how Season 79 went and anything less than the playoffs in Season 80 will be an utter disappointment. I signed for 5 seasons because I believe in what @Spartan is building and also appreciate the faith he showed in my player." Moreau's career began in Helsinki, being drafted 9th overall in the Season 77 VHL draft. General Manager @Jubo showed great faith in Aurelien after many players from the Frank agency had gone inactive. The leadership Jubo showed as GM in Helsinki has inspired Moreau to be a leader in Moscow now, also proving that Jubo was a shrewd drafter as Moreau would go much higher in a re-draft. "That first season going to the finals and ultimately losing to the Seattle Bears, was probably the most fun I've had in my career." - Moreau said. "At this point in my career, other players look up to me so if I want to have success I need to give it my all each and every game. So far I think I've done that. I feel like the best is yet to come in Moscow we have a lot of guys just entering their prime and young guys coming up. If we want to win we're going to have to try real hard each and every night." Moreau said randomly during a post game scrum.

1. Who would you say keeps the locker room motivated and who is the locker room clown? @Spartan keeps us active in the locker room, by threatening to withhold food. We have a lot of guys who think they're funny. 2. What do you think of your ice time? Do you have enough, not enough? And if that would to change, how would it affect your player? I think the lines have been pretty balanced. Although Moreau's line has more trouble 5v5 defending, from what I can see. Whatever helps the team win ice time has never been something I look at, i either earn more or I don't. 3. Where is your go to vacation for after season? I'll be going to beach and sipping on Pina Coladas as the sun sets. 4. What is your ideal jersey number and why? Always liked the number 6 or 2 as a defenseman. 5. What is your best moment with Moscow? This season since we lead our conference. But I suspect I'll have way more favourite moments in the future. 6. Have you ever gone to a NHL regular season game? If, so what was your first/best game you went to? I've been to about 15 or so in my life. My first was when I was 9 years old. I watched Markus Naslund take a wrister from almost below the goal line and score on Buffalo. I think Vancouver beat them 8-2 that game.

Hall of Shame

Too much effort for 2 TPE. Dayum. @STZ

Review: Odin was a god during his playing days much like Odinsson is now. I like the blending and colouring, matching the bg with Americans colour scheme. The logo on the shoulder is a nice touch. The text fits well but it's too bad the player name is choppy. I've had this issue as well so I'll let you know if I find a way to tweak it back to smooth. Changing sharp > smooth > crisp and so on did nothing for me but it might work for you. Overall a solid sig 8.5/10
