  1. I would like some TPE
  2. 1. Looking girls based solely on whether they liked Led Zeppelin. 2. TBH,I think it already did. We broke out of the early slump. 3. I think the flexibility of TPE earning here is a big appeal. Other PT leagues pigeonhole you into pretty specific things. 4. Toronto betting on Matt Murray was a real shocker. 5. We go as a family to food trucks, that's a good time. 6.
  3. 1. Gotta go with Big Z. He's tied for our scoring lead and has the positive +/-. 2. The Star Trek theme. 3. Converting on chances and maintaining possession. 4. I don't follow the draft. 5. Beach in the winter, preferable still in the Northern hemisphere, so it's warm but not too hot. 6. No, it's an admission of guilt.
  4. 1. I think we've been weak defensively. We need to clear the zone faster, get ourselves more opportunities off the rush. 2. Never thought Teekirque would be buried in the deep minuses. 3. London. They don't score nearly enough. 4. Eternal question of sim leagues. TBH, I don't mind a little down time. 5. Yeah, it's pretty rare to keep a roster like that together. Guys will want to get paid and it forces you to lose key players. 6. Kadri showing the Leafs he could cut it in the playoffs.
  5. 1. The other teams only break promises. 2. Only one man can conjure themselves out of fiction. 3. 1. David. 2. David. 3. Da-vid. 4. I just hope they don't draft another sex pest. 5. I might if he didn't already win a cup with the Ducks. 6. THE PROCESS. THE PROCESS.
  6. Yes, you've perfectly address both of my concerns. Excellent work.
  7. Each Category is graded 0-2: 0 - Bad 1 - Adequate 2 - Excellent Layout: 1.5/2 - The player is in focus, in the foreground, with the design drawing the eye directly to him. However, the arrangement of the text behind part of the background makes it difficult to read. Theme: 2/2 - The comparison of goaltenders to famous walls has been enduring for a reason - it works. Some might call it cliched, but in hockey we call cliched "classic." Creativity: 2/2 - Eschewing common backgrounds of blended colors, patterns or ice, the graphic instead features the remains of the Berlin wall. The text has a distinct worn effect. Polish: 2/2 The edges of the various layers are very clean - certainly cleaner than this reviewer usually manages. I don't see any ghosts or relics. Appeal: 0/2 - Despite demonstrating technical and otherwise being quality work, something about the blurred design next to the liquid pattern makes me motion sick. TOTAL: 7.5/10
  8. 1. I think it's great. A lot of those picks wouldn't have had room on the roster. 2. I gather we got some good users. I didn't pay much attention. 3. The culture was strong and will remain so. We're just able to enjoy the results, as well as the company, now. 4. Might have to go to Ohio. We'll see if we can get out of it. 5. https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=Yv_QUiDYTTg&feature=share 6. Ketchup. Next question.
  9. 1. Great trade, solidifies our young roster with some serious veteran contributors, while trading picks we probably wouldn't have space for. 2. Uosdwis R Dewoh 3. It's cool, but there hardly new faces. I can't seem to avoid Jubis. 4. University I skipped, to my regret, as I would learn a friend of mine was valedictorian. 5. Europa Universalis has probably taken the most of my time. 6. I don't even drink regular coffee.
  10. 1. I think they will. 2. Clicking the training camp button for that sweet TPE. 3. He sounds like a lock. 4. I find the lack of index annoying, so no. 5. I still think Tampa will pull it together. Or maybe I just hope. 6.
  11. 1. I like to eat, I like to eat, I like to eat apples, oranges and bananas. 2. No because I haven't looked into any of them. 3. Oh, [PROSPECT NAME HERE] has shown outstanding initiative. 4. It probably does. TBH, I kinda like having a little downtime. 5. Toddler is potty training. It's an experience. 6. Dr Pepper is my favorite, too, though I avoid it because it has like 10 times the sugar.
  12. Be honest, should I have changed the cheese label to say TPE?
  13. 1. TBH, glad it's ending. 2. I know we have a lot of prospects coming, but it's hard to say how much they'll contribute right away, so: a) more scoring up front b) defensive depth c) we're almost out of Tang 3. I appreciate that welfare allows me to take it slower some weeks without totally falling behind. 4. I follow American football. 5. Getting woken up early by a 2-year old. 6. I'm not much for beans, TBH.
  14. Captain’s Log, Stardate 20220519 My progress in the hockey world of this other Earth continues. I have graduated from their developmental league, the VHLM, to their European minor league, the VHLE, and finally to their highest level of competition - the VHL. I was selected 14th overall in the draft by a team out of Davos, Switzerland - shockingly, a real country on this earth, as well - known as the HC Davos Dynamo. The people of HC Davos have greeted me warmly and quickly, and have accepted me as one of their own. In a practice that seems to be very common for sports teams on this Earth, I have been asked to participate regularly in press conferences, answering the inane questions the local sports media has prepared. I’m disappointed to say that the team’s performance on the ice has been, well, disappointing. Despite my herculean efforts to the contrary, at time of writing, we are two points away from the worst record in the league, with the second-worst goal differential. I have scarcely begun to recognize faces before they are shipped off for the promise of draft picks, sold at market like a dead Ferengi's desiccated parts. The concept of trading players is considered at best crude and at worst barbaric, in the UFHD, let alone for a completely unknown asset, but here it is not only common, it is considered prudent! I had expected better. I had expected that my transition from the derelict hulk that was the Oslo Storm would finally bring reprieve from the hopelessness endemic to last season. I had expected to learn something about the antiquated hockey methodologies at the highest level of this VHL. I had expected that my quasi-ancestors would not treat their athletes as commodities! I have been disappointed on all three counts. Well, I'm not going to take this lying down. Oh, no, that's not how James Teekirque operates. James Teekirque doesn't quit. I've gone into the corner against the Horn and come back out with the puck. James Teekirque doesn't give up. I've turned countless Romulan odd-man rushes into little more than embarrassing misfires, and many into scoring chances for my own team! James. Teekirque. Does. Not. Surrender. When Khan Noonien Singh challenged us to defeat his lineup of genetically modified super skaters, I came out victorious. I will forge success from this fire. When the scenario appears impossible, your simply change the rules. After all, I don't believe in no-win scenarios.
  15. 1. I think we've sold what we should sell already. Time to stand pat and get ready for next season. 2. Our snipes must be sicker, our dangles dirtier. 3. I know this is the bottom, and we'll be improving next season, so I'm motivated to see that performance. 4. No comment. 5. I'm about to eat some really good stew. 6. I have a cat and an orange raccoon.
  16. I accidentally deleted it when I removed the background, but left it because I thought it looked cool.
  17. Teekirque in Trouble? Expensive exhibition leads to excogitation of economic emergency A recent fan appreciation event held by HC Davos Dynamo defenseman James Teekirque has lead to some speculation that the starfaring skater is in a financial crunch. The event was advertised recently on Teekirque’s social media accounts, with Teekirque’s image featured prominently. Less prominently featured was the admission price: $400 a head. This exorbitant cost has some fans shaking their own heads, and has drawn harsh criticism. Romulan Center Sub-Commander Tal told reporters, “This is just the sort of self-aggrandizing greed that can be expected from Teekirque, and humans in general.” Perhaps more controversial than the admission price is the complete disconnect between Teekirque and Davos’ ownership. A quick email exchange with the Davos’ PR department revealed that the team has no knowledge of any fan appreciation event, which raises the question, is this a team-sanctioned activity? The use of Davos’ logo in promotional material without the team’s consent is at best a legal gray area, and at worst an outright violation of the team’s trademark. This is not Teekirque’s first public relations incident since arriving on earth, with the young defenseman already with a video of him ranting about not being selected for an award having gone viral. This one seems even more dubious, with Teekirque allegedly coming from a post-scarcity society.
  18. 1. Probably wait until next season. 2. I know what it says about James. He loves dramatically flopping to the ice. 3. I'm not picky either way, TBH. 4. Pretty good. Let the wife take a nap. Ordered sushi. 5. I, too, play many video games. I also do ttrpgs. 6. He's old now, bit Evgeni Malkin in his best days could dominate on the ice like no one's business.
  19. 1. The team has gotten too soft. We should cover our jerseys in concrete. 2. He must be very sore. 3. We need forwards that can maintain possession and finish chances. 4. I have a strict no zombie policy, but I'm willing to institute a special waiver if press conferences are forthcoming. 5. Favorite during my childhood was probably Darkwing Duck. Favorite in retrospect is Star Trek TNG. 6. Hot chocolate. I'm a tea drinker.
