Review: Wow! This looks absolutely amazing! To start of the graphic itself looks really crisp and is in a very high quality. The water drops are also absolutely sick, haven't seen anyone use them before and I love that you use them. Makes the graphic look more high qualitative than without. The text is also unmatchable. Truly one of the best I've seen in a while, it's fairly simple but fits the color palette splendidly. Moving on to the render, there is nothing to complain about at all. The logo swap is literally unoticable and has been blended in very well, another small thing I noticed was the same VHL logo on the neck part about the jersey. I don't usually see people change that but it adds that little extra detail which I love. There is nothing to complain about here at all, top 3 graphic I've seen 10/10

TO CLAIM FOR WEEK ENDING 01/23// 1. Tough series against Vancouver as the Wranglers lost in the 7th game, could we have done anything different to get the win? Not really anything I can think of. Meta teams pretty much always prevail 2. What are your early predictions on how well the Wranglers will do next season? Very well! I believe we can go far 3. Any special plans for the off-season? Taking it easy as usual 4. Two players on the Wranglers can potentially break Wranglers records, Phil for Hits and Eagles for Shots blocked. Will they be able to do it this upcoming season? why? Yes, because they are true Wranglers and have a passion for Calgary I haven't seen elsewhere 5. Is there any one draft prospect that you would like to see Calgary draft? Why? Not anyone specific. All I want is good friends 6. What is the weirdest snack you like to eat? Caviar on tube

Next season calgary will be having at least 2 new players coming up. Daniel Janser ( @Daniel Janser) and Reylynn reinhart ( @WranglersSuck) . One from the VHLE and one from Davos, both of them also switching positions. Reylyyn Reinhart Reylynn is from a family of great hockey players such as Jerome and Tyler reinhart. After spending 5 seasons at davos Reylynn got traded to Calgary, in calgary reylynn is one of the seven forwards as well as 1 of 3 Left wingers. The only difference in Davos was that reylynn was a Defenseman. Switching positions is a thing that is not so common around here but making the second largest position switch possible takes quite the courage to pull off. It will surely take some games for Reylynn to get used to being a forward but I think that she is fit for it. A forward fits in perfectly in our roster, now she could be matched with Dwayne the rock Johnson's brother Phil the rock Johnson for some nasty tic-tac-toe passing plays. She has also now become the highest tpe player on the roster. Having such a role model to go after in a cup chasing team is crucial to be efficient. She is the type of person we can rely on to score points when we are playing poorly. She can also contribute to the defense with her past experiences as a D-player in 4 vs 5 or even 3 vs 5. She is the star player we needed to be able to compete for a cup this season, although I think that she will need some time to adjust to her new position before she can get to steam rolling over defense pairs. I myself am also excited to see her on the team as I heard that she is very nice of her and does not like to be mean to other people. Daniel Janser The long awaited swiss god aka Daniel Janser is set to join the Wranglers this season. With a total of 60 points in 52 games he does not seem like a god but when you look at his other stats you start getting blown away. With a staggering 215 hits in S81 he was simply a beast to be reckoned with, he averaged about 3 hits per game which will let the opposition know who not to mess with. With his switch to a C he will be even more physical, it has been rumored that whenever he loses a faceoff he throws the gloves and gets ready to throw hands with whomever dared to win the faceoff against him. With such a rumor being spread around he will for sure have one of if not the best FO% in the league this year. It has also been said that he has been paired with the deadly Gustislav Nasherov to create a double S duo. The Swiss and the Swede will match together as whenever Nasherov has the puck Daniel Janser strikes fear into the opponents eyes and lets them know what will happen if the even thought about looking in Nasherov's direction. They are truly the best double S duo in the league and are quite undeniably unstoppable.

Review: This one is absolutely sick! The background bus the best I've seen in ages! The render us very well done too! It looks clean and the logo swap is seemless. I have no idea if that badge in the renders right arm is Prague's secondary logo but if it is I want to give you huge credit for putting that in! Never seen someone use it before ever here. A thing that I would change is the logos of the players in the background. If they would have had Prague's logo then this graphic would've been close to perfect. I get it is hard to make a logo swap in a black and white background but if you would've then it would make it that little bit better. Another thing I have to criticize is that both left and right arm of the render looks scuffed. I would recommend to make those at least look more natural. Other than that I don't really have anything to complain about at all! Well done! 8/10

Review: This one is awesome! I haven't seen much fire themed graphics the past month and I really like them! My favorite thing here is the text "Emeritus" as it is looks super awesome! It gives the graphic a while new "vibe" to it. Without it it wouldn't look as dramatic as it is now. The only thing I'd change is the background. I would like to see a bit more eventfully things happening there, for example a burning puck in the air or anything burning that has to do with a goalie. Another thing you could add was also making the helmet "firey", by that you could've made it with a fire theme or with actual flames on it. But I can see you slapped Bek's pfp on there instead so I can't complain much at all! Well done! 9/10

Reasons to ditch STHS and move to the NHL 22 sim engine instead. STHS is known for making some pretty crazy simulations over the years, examples like putting up 50+ shots on goal yet only scoring 1-2 times. Or meta teams, upgrade specific stats and become op. There is no easy solution to both problems. Or is there? NHL 22 does not sim such crazy games and honestly would keep them more realistic. Each player could also make their own style in terms of face, hair, goal emote or gear styles. We could also stream every game so people can watch it. Now before any says "But oh almighty vat simmers don't have time for that!!!!!!" I propose that we weekly have Stream 1 game of the entire sim, preferably on a weekend. Would create more of a fan aspect to the vhl than what STHS can achieve. In conclusion we should start simming on NHL 22 as it is better in many aspects. And if people complain about a sim or two you can now directly email EA sports and they won't care!

// TO CLAIM FOR WEEK ENDING 01/16// 1. The Wranglers advanced past the first round in quite some time, how is your player feeling? Splendid! 2. What must we do to win the 2nd round against a solid Vancouver team? Defeat their mega bull crap of a team 3. As of right now, who do you think is our playoff MVP? I have no idea everyone deserves an mvp here 4. Due to the new covid strain, fans aren't allowed into the arena to cheer the team on, how are you feeling about this decision? Extremely sad. The playoffs are the best games of the season 5. What are you holding onto that's holding you back in hockey? Not something I have thought about and have at the back of my head really 6. Did you arrive at this point in your career because you willed it or because you were destined to be here? I had no clue I was getting traded here before the trade happened so this is destiny

Review: I really like the orange theme in this graphic, looking at it I realize that orange is an underrated color. The logo swap is seemless and could not have been done better in my opinion. The text is also really good and fits in perfectly! There's not much I would change here, I really like it! Well done! 9/10

Review: I like the color of the effects you used as they match with the jersey and logo well! The logo swap is also very good. The transparent text is also a thing that I am a fan of. It fits in well. What I would do is to try to make the quality a little better but other than that I really like this! 8/10

I am getting closer and closer every day, in only 15 days it is my 1 year anniversary here. That's only 2 weeks and 1 day, I can't believe that. Felt like yesterday I joined the league and I couldn't be happier. As I have said before I do have a special MS coming up about it. Hopefully I'll be able to mention tons of important people who have meant tons to me and be able to thank them. All I want to do is make them feel special and appreciated because my last year in the VHL couldn't have been better. Irl stuff with corona and stuff is a whole different story. Other than that I want to wish everyone a happy new year and hopefully this one goes better than the last one. I also hope everyone does not quit on their new year's resolutions and keep chasing what they want. Happy new years!

Claiming this again 1/9 as there were 12 questions and I answered all

You just advanced to round 2 in the playoffs after beating Seattle 4-2! How do you feel? I feel great, Seattle has always been a rival for us and it is especially good to win these types of matchups, it also is a lot of fun. Going against your rivals doesn't usually happen in the playoffs so we made sure to enjoy every moment on the ice. Us winning the first 2 games were crucial, getting a 2-0 lead in a series right away is a huge advantage to take to the next games, being up by 2-0 we are not as stressed as for example the first game, where a series could end up for the better or the worse depending on how it goes. That did not mean that we should have taken it lightly, if we for one second thought that the series was over before getting the 4th win it wasn't over. That is the downside of going 2-0 in the first games. If you take your opponents lightly bad things will happen, you can never think that a game or series is over before it actually is, especially in the playoffs. Luckily we did not take them lightly and played every game like the first, even though we ended up losing 2 games we still won the series which is what mattered the most at the end of the day. How do you feel going into the second round? Me and the team are as pumped as ever for a new series to start, we will try to win the first couple of games to try to get off to a good start and try to secure 4 wins as safe as possible, I know our opponents are though but I have a strong feeling that we will provail, we have many capable players who can take larger roles when the "star" players don't perform their best, it is a huge upside to our squad and a big reason we played good this year. If we just play our game and listen to what the coach says I believe that we can win this series too, it might be closer than the Seattle series but that's expected as we are meeting very tough teams. This team is a team we have beat before and we should be able to beat them again. As I said before we can not take them lightly because if we do then we can end up in a pinch quickly. If we do end up in a pinch I still think that we coild turn the series around (under the right circumstances). Although I don not think the we will end up in such a pinch as I believe in our team and in our coach to lead us the right way and not make mistakes. Thank you for your wonderful time Nasherov! Good luck in the next rounds and have a good day! You too! Have an amazing day!

Juan El Matador, one of the unique names in the VHL and probably the only Spanish person in the VHL too, Juan is a super massive goaltender who has no problems with putting himself in front of a puck. In the Spanish hockey leagues he puts up a .993 save % regularly, thus he is hands down the biggest (no pun intended) Spanish hockey prospect ever. No Spanish forward could score against him without luck, will it be the same in the VHL? no one knows but one thing is for sure and that is that the hockey life in Spain is growing and no one can stop it. Will there be more massive players from Spain? no one knows but this is a way point for Spanish hockey and a feat for the spanish hockey corporation and culture. Ever since he joined the VHL Spanish hockey hasn't been the same.

Review: I really like this one! the coloring and effect usage is my favorite by far. it's well used and I can't complain by one millimeter (0.0393700787 inches)! The name is also very cool and well made. it is top-notch and i can't remember the last time i saw such a well made letter combination. Having 2 renders is also a thing I really like about this. It's unique and i can't complain at all! Overall I really like it 9/10

Review: Ok, so I think that you had a great plan to make a masterpiece, and you did very well considering you made it in 4 minutes. And honestly it doesn't look half bad, flames covering the logo swap was creative but tbh I really like that placement of the "L" if that could definitely be improved on. Overall i think it could have been sick if you made it seriously. 7/10

Watch fireworks with my fam of course 12) What is your New Years resolution? Now this might sound un-original but to go to the gym.

Talks of scoring 100 points had been going since the beginning of the season. Calgary star gustisav Nasherov was destined to produce tons of points this season for the cup chasing Wranglers. Game after game he slowly inched closer to the destined goal. With only 2 games left of the season he needed to score 5 to end up with 100 points. First game was against London united. the game ended 4-3 to calgary and Nasherov scored 2. 97 points, 1 game. He needed to score 3 against Chicago. Things were looking bright after the first period, after 1 assist and 1 goal he only needed to score one point in 40 minutes to achieve the goal. 2nd period was horrible by Nasherov, he couldn't be found on the ice and many Wranglers fans were wondering if the goal was too far away from his reach. walking into the locker room after the 2nd period he spotted a well known face. His sister was there to watch him score 100 in the last regular season game. She had a sign that cheered nasherov on so much that he no matter what would not leave the third period without breaking his point record. No matter what. Going into the third period Nasherov was so fired up that you could see the flame in his eyes staring down the ice looking straight at the opposing team's goal, he had one thought in mind "SCORE". Only 5 minutes in he gets a chance, with a beautiful pass from Erlantz Jokinen e was through on goal, all by himself. The only thing standing between him and 100 points was a goalie. What should he do? Deke the goalie? wait for his teammate to get an easy assist? No, we stopped right in his tracks, winded up his stick, it was almost like time froze, his stick was in the air for what seemed like an eternity, then he shot. The puck was flying so fast that the goalie had no time to react. Bardown the puck was in the goal. The fans went absolutely crazy, no one was sitting except of course the Chicago fans. Nasherov's dream was complete, he had scored 100 points in a single season, he could not believe himself, his head was empty and lost for words, he couldn't think only move. Thus he threw his gloves into the stands and threw the most ferocious scream he ever had screamt. He had a feeling of being complete. Nothing could compare to what he felt that game and moment, it was angel like and if a heaven existed then that feeling would be the pinnacle of how happy you could ever be in heaven. Even when he had not scored a hattrick hats were flying from the stands. All of them had the meaning "Nasherov 100" on them. Unluckily he scored a hattrick 10 minutes later so there were no hats thrown but he couldn't care less because his dream was complete.

Review: A really clean and simple graphic, I like that. What I would try to do is to make the logos feel a bit more natural when ok the jersey. The text with "Ben Svenska" fits in with the background and really makes the simplicity stick out for me. Other than that I don't got much more to say than keep doing you! 8/10

Review: Really good sig! The colors match well and the white and black colliding is on of my favorite touches. The effect is also very cool and fits with the rest of the sig with ease. The only thing I'd change is the thing on the very left side. That's the only thing I dislike. 9/10

The majority of the Vhl people celebrate Christmas and I hope everyone has a great holiday. I hope you got to meet up with several old friends or family members living far away or family members you don't usually come by. Christmas started when supposedly Jesus came into the world. But now it's not about religious thought and more about q tradition, so what would've happened if Jesus wasn't born? What if there were not enough christians celebrating Christmas making it die out? Would there be Christmas? If so then what would "modern" Christmas look like? Could it have become a season of purely giving away presents? Or a season celebrating snow in places that it usually doesn't snow. Little changes like that which could change history as we know it interests me. There are so many possible outcomes yet whatever you come up with will with almost 100% chance be completely wrong. Although it's still fun to speculate. Either way, MERRY CHRISTMAS VHL!

Review: For a first graphic this is absolutely amazing! Looks like you have had tons of experience before. The colors fit very well except for the yellow stripes on the jersey, other than that there's not much to complain about. A small thing is that I would've liked it if the text was incased in a box like the 3 other images are, other than that this is amazing! 8/10
