HOUSTON BULLS PRESSER! Hello and welcome to this weeks Houston Bulls Presser! We are officially in the off-season! Please answer each question to your best ability. Answer three questions for 1 capped TPE or six questions for 2 capped TPE! For the Week Ending May 26th, here are your questions! 1. BOOM! We just moved up 4 of our picks to mid 2nd and 3rd rounders. This is going to (hopefully) let us bring on some folks that just need to learn the ropes to become some stellar talents. What were some things that you wish you knew when you were first starting that we could maybe pass on? 2. Once again, we saw Houston Bulls players being picked up in the draft like some cute puppies at an a adopt-a-thon. With Johnny Tsunami going 18th overall to Davos and Hulk Smash and Tommy Longpre each going to Prague in the 3rd round. Where would you want to be drafted? High expectations at #1 or coast at #20+? 3. Nucks or Oilers? If the game already happened, then who is gonna win of that, the winner or Dallas? 4. Florida or NY? Why Florida? 5. The names for Utah somehow keep getting worse as time goes on. So inevitably, once they decide on a terrible name, they'll have to decide on some terrible new threads. Do they keep the light blue trend going or do they maybe incorporate some new colors we haven't seen in the league? Suggestions? 6. This week, we're talking comfort food. Something where when you have a bad day, you get yourself a big heaping plate of whatever this food is, and you're immediately placated. What is it? For me it's beef tips, gravy, white rice and cornbread. (Can you tell I'm from the South?)

HOUSTON BULLS PRESSER! Hello and welcome to this weeks Houston Bulls Presser! We are officially in the off-season! Please answer each question to your best ability. Answer three questions for 1 capped TPE or six questions for 2 capped TPE! For the Week Ending May 19th, here are your questions! 1. Oh snap? What's this? Someone new is posting the questions? The off-season might mean a lull in the on-ice action, but the off-ice action is just beginning! To start, we made a trade for more picks and then we got a new AGM and it's me - Vice! Do you find the front office stuff more 'fun' than the on-ice stuff? What makes whichever you picked better? 2. We hate to discuss it, but it is a fact at this point...we have a history of not getting out of the second round. What key links do you think we might be missing to break through? 3. Some NHL players have quirks that they have when they play, like that they have to be the last player to leave the ice during warmups. What would be your players weird quirk? 4. With the upcoming draft, we'll most likely be bringing in quite a few new players to the locker room. Do you have any thoughts on the types of players we should focus on drafting? 5. The Utah expansion team just put up a survey asking fans what the name of the new team should be. Some on the list were: Mammoth, HC, Ice and Freeze (honestly terrible options if you ask me) among others. What would be your ideal Utah team name? 6. This is kind of a tradition with my press conference questions, the last one is always a food related question. So I gotta know guys, if you had to rely on one dish (a main and two sides) for the rest of your life, what is it?

The job fair is just boomin' lately huh?

My last one 1. That's a wrap! The S93 playoffs end with the Saskatoon Wild winning this season's Founder's Cup. What are your thoughts on Saskatoon's 4-0 series win against Ottawa? How would Houston have done if we had advanced? IT. SHOULD. HAVE. BEEN. US. 2. How did your player do these playoffs? Did they come out of their shell from the regular season? Was it a quiet playoffs for your player? I like how I finally got to go beast mode there at the end. It was a good effort all around though. 3. Speaking of playoffs still, the NHL playoffs just finished their first round. Out of the remaining teams (New York R, Carolina, Colorado, Dallas, Boston, Florida, Edmonton, and Vancouver), which do you think has the best chance of winning the Stanley Cup? Florida Panthers, all the way. I have been a follower of theirs for a long time now and I think they're one of the few 'overdue' teams left to win the cup. 4. The VHL off-season is just around the corner which gives not only your player, but everyone else a nice break of pace. What does your player do in their off-season? My player loves to start boozing around then. Go home and go surfing most likely! Family is everything so just getting to spend some time with my family will be appreciated. 5. I have been golfing so much lately that I decided to host a Houston Bulls Golf Tournament! All friends and family are invited, although I'm stuck on what the trophy will be... What should the winners of our golf tournament get? A trophy? $10 gazillion dollars? The good parking spot. You know the one. 6. I have also been using my bike a lot more lately (mainly because I bring my car to the shop tomorrow). Cardio sucks but I have always enjoyed bike riding. What is your favourite form of cardio if you had to choose one? Gotta go with swimming. It's a good way to get the heart going and it's always fun to be in the water!

Grats Seattle!

And it was the best decision I made! I wouldn't have chosen a different team to start with having been through it with Houston now. The draft is up next, but like last time, I'm sure whatever happens from there will be good for me too. Thank you to Houston for it's amazing hospitality and friendship during my time there!

Note: This graphic was made for the end of the season, using regular season results. Does not include playoff data. Strengths: Tsunami shows a high degree of offensive vision, and with the right coaching program and regimen, could become a lethal goal-scorer or assist machine. Which is also what adds to his strengths, Johnny is currently in a position to pivot into whatever role is needed for his incoming team. During the VHLM playoffs, Johnny took on the role of an offensive center and despite not hoisting the cup - ended the post-season as it's top goal scorer. There's clearly a lot more in the gas tank to go. Weaknesses: Johnny is also prone to taking on quite a lot of penalties as he finds himself in engagements often. Taking these penalties at inopportune times can cause games to shift momentum, however, with some more focus on discipline and control, Johnny should be able to overcome these. Tends to talk a lot in the locker room, too. Like a little too much. Post-Season GP G A P +/- 93 (HOU) 12 9 7 16 8 Despite their stellar performance in the S93 playoffs, we still predict Tsunami to be drafted either late in the 1st Round, or early in the 2nd Round. For teams that have needs at center or forward, there are a few options that stand out above Tsunami. Beyond that, the top echelon of the draft is laden with defense so it would be curious to see if any teams take that into consideration when making their picks - you know we'll be running the mocks once the lottery is complete!

Just now noticing I put stats for a season that doesnt exist yet. That was meant to say s93. Lol annnnd fixed

Inspired from @CaptainSB's:

This is sincerely impressive. I've always like reading your posts and I've enjoyed their formatting quite a bit so it's good to know this is here!

Reviewing this! First off, congratulations on your players retirement! Having just started my 2nd character only recently, its just as fun the 2nd time around time too! Your graphic has a great foundation for what I would call a 'social media' graphic, like it would be posted to a teams socials or something. The jersey swap is good and I do appreciate you using your layering there with the logo. I recommend maybe adding a layer beneath some of the text in a secondary color to give it a little depth. Also maybe physically separate the stats away from the rest of the graphic with like, just a a square around the stats. Great start! 8.5/10

1. In the first round of the S93 VHLM playoffs, Houston defeated the Las Vegas Aces in 5 games to advance to the second round. What are your thoughts on this series and our wins? I'm just grateful I got to join a stellar team and get some experience playing on a real team. I'm real eager to get playing in the E now. 2. Winning one round doesn't get you a trophy! In the second round we face the top team in the league, the Ottawa Lynx. How does it feel going into this series as underdogs? What are Houston's true chances of winning this series and advancing to the finals? Well, 0 now. 3. Playoff hockey is known to be a lot different from regular season hockey. With more physicality, competitiveness, and hunger to win, what is your favourite part of playoff hockey? I love the teamwork! Settin' up those quick shots and the rush you get from seeing the finished shots, just awesome. 4. Some drafts will be coming up after this season! The VHL, VHLE and VHLM will all be holding drafts... have you been interviewed by GMs of other teams yet? Have you put any thought into your draft stock lately? If you have already been drafted, what team are you playing for next season? Not really my concern where I go in the draft. I just want to keep training and to win while I'm at it! 5. In these VHLM playoffs, we are currently facing Ottawa. In the other series, Saskatoon faces Halifax. Who do you predict to win the other series? Saskatoon or Halifax? I did predict Halifax but Saskatoon pulled out the upset, happy for 'em. 6. I am finally on summer vacation! I just finished my second year of school after taking two years off. What should I do this summer? What do you like to do during your summer? Any fun things for me to try or do? Definitely just take some time to relax and do nothing for a week or two. You've earned it!

Welp, I wish the post-season went a bit better, but regardless our top 3 guys on the Bulls really broke out from the pack, did a little graphic to commemorate Offseason Stats: Player Name GP G A P (93) LW - Filip Zinek 12 8 9 17 (94) C - Johnny Tsunami 12 9 7 16 (93) D - Ray Stanton 12 1 13 14 Wasn't for a lack of effort, that's for sure. @FiZi@horoscope

Applying!

Even I was kinda shocked.

I should just make this my personal graphic portfolio at this point:

Reviewing: The color palette you used on this was stellar. The cream and blue work so well together and you managed to put together a render that uses the faded yellows to match the cream...very well done! (hit me up with where you get your c4ds from...) All that said, the red kinda throws me out a bit. I know it was probably to accent the demon part but, eh just throws me out of it. Otherwise...top tier sig man. 10/10
