    Welcome to the league, @Thrash94Gaming!

     

    I'm the AGM of the Mexico City Kings and we can offer you Top 6 minutes along with time on the special teams. We aren't the strongest team this season, so a cup is likely off the table, but if you want to join a fun and active locker room that can help you learn the ropes of the league, then Mexico is the place for you!

    @rory I realized last night that Hugh Jass is a dman and not a forward, so my last pick is essentially null.

     

    I'm in favour of my keeping Hugh Jass as a forward since nobody moderated the pick. 

     

     

    Otherwise, I'll pick

     

    F - Jungkok

    F - Thomas Landry II

     

     

    Sorry for fucking myself and the rest of the group over. 

     

    @omgitshim appreciate you. Pick whenever. 


    Landry is already selected, but I replaced Hugh Jass with Jungkok @gorlab

    1. What are your first impressions of our first couple of games?

    2. Are there any teams that surprised you in the VHL or VHLM?

    3. Is backchecking or forechecking more important?

    4. Which player is going to surprise people and why?

    5. What do you think our playoff chances are at this point?

    6. How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

    Review: 
    Not a big fan of this graphic. The logos on the top and bottom being stretched like that are really off putting, and they're barely recognizable from a distance. I like the picture frame style that you did around the picture. The text is kinda boring and I can't tell what it's meant to be, like is it supposed to be like a signature from the players, or is it something else. Finally, leaving the logos underneath the swap makes it look incredibly sloppy. I use the clone stamp tool to clean up the jerseys but I'm sure theirs other ways as well. 5/10

    Harvey for your first wins

    I think all of the extra things you added can be better integrated into the image. The grey boxes kinda just make it stick out like a sore thumb, and the bottom border looks like it would be better without it. I wish there were more effects going on in the image altogether too, kinda makes it look bland. 6/10

    Welcome to the league @STUNT!

    I'm the AGM of the Mexico City Kings and we're willing to give you top six minutes assuming you stay active. We're going to be in a tight race for the playoffs but aren't projected to go too far. This means that you'll get tons of ice time and points.

    We have an active discord locker room and we'll gladly help you transition over to the VHL.

    If you're interested quote this and say "accepto ?"

    Rory Address Media Following First Week of S74

    in Archived Media Spots

    Posted

    ESPN.mx - Rory O'Connor took the media scramble this evening following Mexico City's 7-2 route of the San Diego Marlins. Alabaster Slim and O'Connor took over the team mid-S73, and taken a team with little to no immediate upside into playoff hopefuls. Starting the S73 dispersal draft with only the ninth overall pick, they made various moves to enter the draft in the later rounds, ending with right wing RJ Thatcher @jhatty8, center Chris Foley @Firekiss, and defenseman Taizo Hasebe @thepandaken.

    Regarding the draft, O'Connor said: "We obviously had a couple of guys we had on our board. We really wanted to get a good team in front of Emerson @Xflexz and Thatcher and his son, Rodney, were a key part of our group of mercenaries last season. A couple of our guys went a few earlier then we had anticipated but we got Foley back, another important part for the squads culture. I've had history with Taizo's agent and I could see him becoming important for our push. We're hoping we can re-motivate him to reach his full potential, but time will tell."

    Following the draft, Mexico City signed several players to VHLM deals to fill the roster. Wingers Mando Blatsyuk @Hblatsyuk, Fongs Son @Elijah (Fong's Son), and Mexico's own Ramarod Ramirez @Ominous. "The forward pickups are great. We're always scouting leagues across the world, looking for people with VHLM skill and dedication. Blatsyuk from Britain is a phenomenal scoring forward, and is responsible the d-zone. Mexico City has had good history with British scoring forwards and we're hoping he can become like Hylands. Ramirez is kind of a local legend, and it shows that the VHLM's presence in Mexico has been a success. He's well rounded. I could see him getting a solid 60 points this season. Fongs Son is great. Very receptive to the front offices advice. He seems like a guy who can pot 100 points in a good season. Hope Emerson and him get along - they'll be dominating here and in Vancouver."

    "Defensively, we obviously also signed IAmMarkour @Markour. Good stay-at-home dman who can join in on the rush when we need it. Couple of great breakout passes set up Foley and Thatcher tonight and I think that shows his offensive upside. Kid needs to bulk though. 6'4 and only 150 pounds. Pretty funny, like a gentle giant. I see shades of Kamenov in him, but with less Putin."

    As the squad battles for the third seed in the west, O'Connor said that the team will focus on getting more young talent through the waiver program to bolster their roster their depth and continue the developmental nature of the minor league. "Mexico City has a solid history of waiver players becoming key parts for cup runs. Hylands, Pines, and Kamenov were essential parts to stopping the bleeding in S71 and really carried the squad to the first franchise cup finals. Theirs a couple of names here that could easily become those players, and hopefully better."

    With that, O'Connor continues rambling for an hour about the legendary S72 Mexico City cup run. Members of the media slowly file out, and the planned appearances from Thatcher, Foley, IAmMarkour and Ramirez were cancelled despite their 3 point performances.
