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

Review: This is your best that I've seen. You have a good vase to work with. The jersey change is well executed. The placement of the text and logo are a bit random, my eyes aren't sure where to look. The blending needs some work as you put a stock over the bg but the render is sitting on top. Also covering up the text is a nice idea but gotta make sure it's mostly all legible. Overall 7/10 keep it up.

@Acydburn

When you quote it like that, it looks like a threat.

@JardyB10 is this an accurate representation of Jardy Bunclewirth's retirement?

1. Its yet another theme week. This time it about life after VHL. What would your life after VHL look like? For Moreau, I suspect he will drink a ton.of beer and just let himself go. He'll probably end of lioking like Claude Julien or Ken Hitchcock. 2. We have acquired a couple of new(ish) prospects. First we re-signed Leroy Johnson @Vkobe-v and second we acquired Jlloyid Blloyoiderson @Cxsquared. What is your thoughts on those signings? Always nice to have more warm bodies. Hopefully they become steals and stay active. That would extend or window even further. 3. Any other trades you would like to see before the trade deadline? I always want us to improve but I don't think we have any cap space. Any move would probably be lateral at this point. 4. Prediction time. NHL pre-season is soon to end and regular season to begin. Do you think Ovi is going to have another great season like he did last year? Hope so, I'm predicting another 40 goal season. Hoping he breaks Gretzky's goal scoring record before he calls it quits. 5. Philip Stein been knocked out as the point leader. Who is going to reclaim that throne? The only correct answer is Duncan Idaho. Hopefully a Menace player can take the lead, it'll be tough though. 6. What is your favorite cereal? Can't stand cereal, especially with Milk. Next question please.

Review: Pretty basic wallpaper. Would of been nice to see you experiment with some different elements. I like the faded bears logo in the back but it's hard to pick up. Some stock work or flow is really needed here. Also proportions are a bit strange with the Bears logo being so big and cut off at the bottom. Maybe having Seattle in a similar font as the Bears logo could help bring it together. Overall 6/10

Review: Always like the clean cutout look of your graphics. I'd love to see you play with stronger colours and different effects. Would be interesting to see what you could do outside your comfort zone. As for this graphic the only thing lacking here is the text IMO. Maybe adding a filter to it similar to the rest of the piece. Overall: 9/10

1. We've been having a pretty great start to the season. Do you think we will carry this into the playoffs and win the cup? I think we have a good shot. We have a really deep team at every position and I think anything is possible once we get in. 2. We are currently #1 in our conference. Who do you think is out biggest rival in our conference? Malmo easily. We've been really good against them this season hopefully we can keep it up. Also hopefully that's a good sign for our playoff match ups. 3. Vancouver Wolves are sitting in #1 overall rank. Do you think we will surpass them? I'm surprised they have been as good as they have. The sim seems to love they're players this season especially when you look at their goal differential and their team tpa. 4. What is your personal goal for this season, what would you like to accomplish? I just want us to win a cup or two while I'm here. As for personal goals. Capturing the Beketov this season would be nice but I don't think that's likely. 5. Philip Stein @IHateBobNutting is sitting in #1 for point leaders. Do you think he will continue sitting at #1 spot or will Duncan Idaho @OrbitingDeathwill catch up to him? I think Idaho will catch him but Stein is providing insane value for his tpa. Much like what a lot of Vancouver players are doing. 6. What's your favorite movie for road trips? Up in the Air it's well acted and written. It also features a ton of flying so that's relevant.

Review: Like the blending here. The sig overall is a bit too saturated with too much contrast. The text is hard to read. I think if you tone down your effects your work will reach another level. Maybe experiment with different adjust layers, filters or exposure. Overall 7.5/10

@Spartan

Review: Nice to see a graphic with some effort. The paint brush effect is nice as well as the blending. The lighting is a little dark and could use a focal point. The text is nice maybe adding some black as another off set or a stroke with some filters might make it easier to read. Overall a nice sig 9/10

Erase some of the overlay over the renders faces. I like the style.

1. The season has started and we've opened it up with a hell of a run. How does it feel to finally have a winning record? Feels great, hopefully we can maintain first place in the standings. Also nice that we've beaten Malmo twice. 2. Who on your team has surprised you the most with their good play so far? (btw the answer should be idaho he's killing it) Idaho is killing it but I kind of expected that. I think Stein is playing just as well and deserves equal praise. 3. Which one of our many offseason additions have impressed you the most? I think Rasputin has allowed us to win games we wouldn't have won last season. Good goaltending is what makes the difference. We're also set up for the future with Emeritus taking over next season. 4. Name a tune you are finding yourself jamming out to lately? I love listening to Simon and Garfunkel. I've found myself playing their music more frequently in the drive to and from work. 5. Does the Moscow Menace have a mascot? Seriously I don't know i'm asking here. If not create an idea for one. We do not, but if we did his name should be something intimidating. Also he should be an exact duplicate of our logo. Maybe he could be like the Burger King mascot and we'll call him food poisoning or IBS. 6. Are you a fan of any other sport other than hockey? If so I want to know what your into! I follow baseball as well but I'm primarily into hockey.

The wait is over. Expectations in Moscow are at an all-time high with the acquisition of Lexi Glass and signing of Rara Rasputin. The Season 80 Menace are not only expected to make the playoffs, but also make some noise once they get there. After the Malmo Nighthawks won their second Continental Cup in their history, Moscow ownership felt pressure to push for their second as well. Moscow GM Euron Leonidas has made several shrewd moves and quality draft choices over his tenure. That has allowed the Menace to select the likes of Duncan Idaho, Paul Atreides, Hard Markinson and Papa Emeritus. The move that signaled the end of the rebuild was when Moscow acquired Aurelien Moreau for the 4th Overall selection in the Season 80 draft. Moreau proceeded to sign a 5 season contract with the club. Moscow has started the season 8-1-1 and are looking to over take Malmo early on. With the rise of Moscow and the beginning of a dynasty with Malmo, this could become a great rivalry over the coming seasons.

To be fair Moreau's stats were more focused on defense in his first season. That might have helped the plus minus as well as being on a good team.

Review: Good effort on the jersey swap. The logo is a bit small. I would of tried to match it to the original logo I'm assuming it larger and wavier as well as being covered by the pad. The placement of the text and logo are a bit random. Not bad for a quick graphic but some basic design elements are missing or not executed. Overall 7/10

Review: I think this is one of your better sigs. The render effects are nice as well as the text. The areas for improvement IMO would be the spacing of everything it feels to spread out. Also the blending, this sig is screaming for some stocks or filters. Overall 8.5/108

When I see a high TPA player failing in the sim...

1. A lot has happened this week in a rapid succession. One of those things is several trades. What are you thoughts on the trades that did happen? I'm elated that @Spartan was able to move cap and bring in Rasputin @Victor. I'm sad to see @N0HBDY leave us he was a great teammate and will be missed. It's always nice to see a three way. 2. New season is starting right up, are you ready for it? Yes, I've been steadily improving skating and puck handling. I held off earning so we could ice the best team possible but I'm back to max earning again. 3. What are you prediction for this season? Will we compete in the playoffs? Do you think we have a chance at the cup? I think we made enough improvements to be a contender but the sim is unpredictable at times. I say we're a playoff team, but beyond that it's a coin flip. 4. Along with VHL starting this week, the NHL preseason is also starting this week. Are you excited about it? What team you cheering for? It'll be nice to watch regular season games with fans again. Sorry to say I'm a Vancouver Canucks fan. 5. What is your favorite pizza toping? Love anything on pizza. Even pineapple and cilantro. Don't hold it against me. 6. Finally, the draft was this past weekend. Welcome the new kids to the block. What is you thoughts on the VHL draft? Who were in your opinion the winners and the losers of the draft? I'd say Toronto was a winner and a loser. They lost the lotteries but having 3 top 5 picks is a huge win.
