Come to Mexico... be a star

It's cool, we're used to it, losing has become the vibe.

Tui Sova’s Scouting Report The VHLM season is well underway and we’ve obtained a strong enough sample size through the games played so far to provide an early assessment of the Mexico City Kings defenceman Tui Sova. Since signing with Mexico City in the offseason, Sova has been tossed into a starting pair role on a very depleted team, which lost many of its prominent players after their championship year in S76. While the teams overall performance so far has been straight dog water, Sova being thrusted into a top role has been provided the chance to really prove himself before the S78 VHL draft. After an evidently slow start to the season mainly due to the lack of a strong net presence, Mexico City traded it’s two top veteran players to solidify the direction of the team into a rebuild. This gave Tui Sova and his good pal and training partner Anze Miklavz the reigns to run wild and free, playing top minutes and having the chance to pad stats. Thus far, Sova has been a shot blocking machine on the back end, and after some adjustment and chemistry development, he has begun to rack up points. Through 24 games, Sova has performed quite well offensively despite the aforementioned slow start tallying 6 goals, and 10 assists, for a total of 16 points. On the defensive end he has notched an outstanding 49 blocked shots and 27 hits. This propels Sova to top 5 spots on two stat leaderboards, where he is tied for third in powerplay goals with 6, and tied for second in the blocked shots category with his enormous 49. It is safe to say that Sova has been a shot blocking machine, preventing the team from more blowout embarrassments than they already have. Below we will highlight Tui Sova’s pros and cons as a n S78 draftee as determined 24 games in. Pros: Shot blocking machine, the numbers don’t lie here. This is enormous for a 19 year old to have the courage to put his body in front of the puck for his team, and shows early signs of leadership proving he is willing to do whatever it takes to defend the zone. Powerplay quarterback. Sova is a rock on the point so far, and doesn’t hesitate to take slappers in hopes of a deflection or some top cheese. He’s been solid at holding the line and the Kings power play has been a bright spot for the team amongst everything else. Discipline — 29 penalty minutes total really isn’t much and Sova has proven he can remain level headed in testy situations, normally taking the high road rather than a stupid retaliation or a cheap shot. Cons: Sova isn’t much of a hitter so far, which could explain the low PIMs. At 19 years of age he still has a lot of strength and conditioning to go through, and needs to put on some size before he can be considered a true physical presence on the ice. We project the checking will come once he matures, but right now it’s not a bright spot. Scoring — Sova loves shooting the puck from the point, but rarely takes wrist shots in tight. This is something his coaches have begun to work on with him, as his rocket of a shot has the potential to be even more lethal closer to the net.

1. Get some more bodies on the roster, specifically second and third pairing D to try and keep more pucks out. 2. 4 goal game in Calgary during high school. Or Crosby's golden goal... 3. Probably a crack head... Seriously though hockey is my passion and I can't imagine doing anything else. 4. Doha, Qatar 5. Hockey Night in Canada 6. Chug an iced coffee

Quite the jump this week for the kid.

Way to leave us hangin'.

This is hawt. Very clean and crisp, with a great level of brightness and white usage that helps add a nice contrast to the colours of the teams. I love the ice background and ice shatter effects, as well as the blending. My only nit pick is the font choice and the italics of the smaller text. The render effects are great which creates a nice focal point for the winning teams and their trophies. Overall score 9.8/10.

This is pretty bare bones and missing a lot to be worth 6 TPE in my opinion. You did a logo swap and added some text but other than that there are no effects, blending, colouring, or anything for that matter. There are plenty of sig tutorials around that can help you learn new things and if you don’t have Photoshop there are web based graphic tools and apps that can make something not look like it was made in under 2 minutes. Also check out the graphic section in the Discord, many of us are willing to help out anyone willing to learn and ask questions!. Sorry but imma have to give a 3/10 for this one.

+10 Tui Sova

Game 55, fight night.

Loving this, the render pops and the lighting is on point. Excellent colour scheme that helps the flow of the sig, and the text is amazing. The crumpled paper effect and render blending effects work well together, and I think this would look even better at a larger dimension. Overall review 9.5/10.

Love the colours, and the extra effort for the jersey change. I think it would look better a little bigger, or maybe the render bigger without the background pic. Font choice and text effects are solid as well and I dig the small touch on the left hand side to give it some extra pop. Lighting is solid as well but would have liked to have seen some more on the render (or less blending) to make it more of a focal point. Overall score 8.5/10.

I voted for this one btw

1. What are your thoughts on our interesting start to the season? The first 3 games were great but its now evident that we desperately need an upgrade in net. 2. What goals do you have long-term in the VHLM/VHL? Become a known 2 way D-man, and WIN CHAMPIONSHIPS. 3. Anything management can do for you and your player? Hop in the net and stop pucks. Jk, management has been great so far. 4. If you could bring in any player to Mexico City, who would it be? Kuba Fleury or Darcy Cat. 5. Favourite postgame meal prior to a Mexico City Kings game? Fish tacos and oysters. 6. Biggest pet peeve? Stupid drivers, and not getting condiments in takeout bags.

Strong start for the boys.

Mexico underrated this season. Love to see it.
