    (Answer Questions for 2 Capped TPE!)

     

     

    1. William Futch, Doug Britton, and Tater Tottingham are leading the team in points thus far.  What do you attribute to their success?

     

    2.  Would you rather lonely discord locker room but a winning season, or an active discord locker room with a respectable season?  In other words, does winning mean everything to you?  Why or why not?

     

    3.  Have you ever jumped off a bridge or swung from a rope to go swimming?

     

    4.  What was your take on the NHL draft?  Did your favorite team pick up some good players?

     

    5.  The Las Vegas Aces have given us trouble lately.  What do you think we can do to beat them?

     

    6.  What was the last food you had that was cooked on a barbecue, or open flame?

    1. I think they have been applying their TPE to the right areas and been really smart about they improve to gain success.

     

    2. I think I’d prefer to play for a team with a lively environment, winning doesn’t mean too much, and success will follow activity anyway.

     

    3. not a bridge but I’ve done some cliff jumping which is pretty fun. 
     

    4. my team performed great at the draft they got a first round talent in the 2nd round and got great value late in the first.

     

    5.  We just need to not let it discourage us and heat up closer to the end of the season when games count more.

     

    6.  I had some wings about a week ago that were cooked on the grill that were pretty good.

    1.  After 10 games we are tied with the Houston Bulls, but we are ahead in the goal differential.  Which Kings player do you think is having the biggest impact with our wins?


    The captain Tottinghan has been doing a great job getting the team motivated to perform.

     

    2.  Our goalies are off to a great start.  Henry Tucker Jr and Jeremy Swayman have incredible stats thus far.  How confident are you that we will continue to win with these two goalies in front of the net?

    I think these two are great and definitely have what it takes to compete in the playoffs 

     

    3.  What is your take on Scottie House’s latest graphic posted in the locker room and how does your graphics ability compare to Scottie?

    i am him :)

     

    4.  Our discord channel is one of the more active channels and you are to be credited with the success.  How much do you enjoy being involved with the team on discord?

    i love it, it’s a great way to get to know the squad and get ideas for graphics to make 

     

    5.  Which team do you consider to be the biggest rival of the Kings and how badly are you willing to beat them during the season?

    Vegas seems like a pretty big rival because they are a solid team, it felt great to get the win against them yesterday.

     

    6.  How many push ups can you do in a minute? 

    i am too lazy to find out

    1. Were you happy that Colorado Avalanche won the Stanley Cup, and how much money did you win or lose on bets?

    Yeah I’d say I’m happy! I am a Washington Capitals fan so it was awesome to see Andre Burakovsky lift the cup again. I didn’t bet on this one but my bracket held up pretty good! I only missed two first round matchups and the rest stayed solid.

     

    2.  The season starts this week, is your player ready to compete and how do you think the Kings will do early on?

     

    Yeah my player is ready to go! I really grinded and cashed in as many uncapped TPE opportunities as possible to break the 100 threshold before the season started! I can’t wait to apply my 10 TPE bonus towards my defensive stats to help solidify the back end. I think we are in for a great season!

     

    3.  Your GM has spent several hours preparing the team for an optimized performance.  Do you have any suggestions for him?

     

    I’ve taken a look at the lines and I think they look great! The D looks nice and balanced and I like who I’ve been paired up with.

     

    4.  Summer has officially started.  What vacation plans do you have this summer?

     

    None! Just chilling at home and studying, maybe a few baseball games.

     

    5.  How many hours a week do you estimate you are involved in gaming, and which device is most of your gaming attention on?

     

    Quite a few haha, MLB The Show has been quite addictive this summer. I play on Xbox and the Switch.

     

     

    6.  What is your favorite ice cream flavor and what toppings do you add?

     

    I like good ole’ Pistachio, no toppings. Maybe some whipped cream if I’m feeling crazy.HOUSESIG.jpg.47d94df267e69afb599c556557ae6103.jpg

    I really like the logo swap on this one! I think the light blue logo pairs perfectly with the navy and orange jersey. I also really like the HDR effect you have on the image. It makes a really cool contrast and shine on the player's visor! The borders around the image compliment the graphic really well also! I think to take this design to the next level you could utilize some textures or effects on top of the text, this could make it appear a bit less like it is simply placed on the top of the design. Overall a great graphic! 8/10!

    Nice graphic! I really like the way you utilized your editing tools to change the color of parts of the jersey, as well as the logo swap itself. I like the overall layout of the design also, I feel like it has a great balance of utilized and empty space, where it doesn't feel too empty nor too crowded. The only thing I personally would change is to remove the blur effect around the player's face, but that's just personal preference! I think overall this is a sick graphic! 8/10!

    Scottie House Junior Review

    in Hello Europe

    Posted

    Growing up in England, Scottie was the only member of his family to fall in love with the game of hockey. While his friends packed Bet365 Stadium to watch Stoke City play, Scottie would stay home and try to catch a peak of the VHL in the dark hours of the morning. After years of commuting an hour by train to the nearest rink, Scottie’s coach noticed that he had special talent. 
     

    At 13 Scottie made the move to Borlänge, Sweden to sharpen his hockey skills. He always dreamed of making the leap to the VHLM but never felt it was possible. That all changed a few days ago. After lighting up the third tier of Swedish hockey Scottie noticed the buzz around beginning to heat up. He had already missed the deadline to declare for the VHLM draft so wasn’t sure what he was going to do. It was at this time that he discovered he could join the VHLM as a waiver player and prove himself to be a top pick in next year’s draft. After fielding offers from Regina, Ottawa, and San Diego, Scottie decided that Mexico City felt like home. 
     

    Now Scottie looks to grow his game with the Kings and hopefully compete to go first overall in the draft next season. He knows that in order to accomplish this feat he must grow his came from the defensive end out. Without the ability to be a rock in the d-zone no teams are going to want to take a risk on him with a top pick. I’m Sweden, House often found himself on the wrong end of odd man rushes and making a few bad reads when moving the puck up the wall. His continued focus on defensive coverage and vision this season will hopefully lead him to restructuring his game in a ways that will be successful in Mexico City. 
     

    Scottie is thankful for all of his coaches back home but knows this is the step he must take in order to make it in the VHL. The VHLM is THE place to make a name for yourself to the big guys and House looks poised to make a splash, maybe even making the squad for the World Cup of hockey. If Scottie can get to the point this season where he feels comfortable in the D-Zone, he knows that his offensive game will follow suit. Look for Scottie to be a top draft pick in next seasons VHLM draft.

    (Answer Questions for 2 Capped TPE!)

     

     

    1.  What was your favorite part of the draft process and how do you feel about being picked by Mexico City?


    i was not selected until he draft but signed with Mexico City on waivers. I’m excited to get going with this group and build myself up to compete to be a top pick next year. The team seems like a great group so I’m excited for the season to get underway 

     

    2.  What type of player are you planning on building with TPE during this season?

    This season I am looking to build a strong base defensively to build upon next year. I see myself in the future as a puck moving defenseman, in order to grow my offensive game I need to be solid in the d-zone first .

    3.  How many seasons do you plan on being in the VHLM and what would keep you from moving up?


    I’m willing to be in the VHLM as long as necessary to make sure I’m fully ready to take the next step. 
     

    4.  What is your favorite sport that you played, are playing, or wish you were good enough to play, and why?

     

    my favorite sport is hockey for obvious reasons :)

    5.  What is the best hockey movie and why?


    i think the best hockey movie is Mighty Ducks because it played such a large role in growing the game for a generation.

     

    6.  What are your favorite pizza toppings and should pineapple ever be put on a pizza?

     

    My go to toppings are green bell peppers and ham. I personally am not a pineapple guy but I don’t discriminate if that’s your thing.

    Review: I like to way you utilize the team logos to show the history of the player! I think a good way to improve is to try using some HDR filters or maybe a cool border around the image. Maybe even experiment with cutting the player out and placing him on a background. This can be done on IOS app Superimpose or even Photoshop for the computer. I like the font you chose and think it is a great start to becoming a designer! best of luck this season! I'd give your graphic a 7/10 and think you are at a great starting point!

    I think this is a pretty cool graphic! A way you could maybe improve is to try cutting out the player and putting him in front of the texture you've applied. I think the texture and font choice creates a very cool design! I am not sure what software or app you are using but this can be accomplished with the app superimpose on iPhone :) Keep up the good work and you will continue to improve! I'd give this graphic a 7/10!
