Can't believe you spelled Bo's name wrong. #blamecole

#blamecole at least you got MoscoL losing in the finals right (most likely).

Not only did you add Elephants, but also the alps (presumably) so you really took the 100% reasonable feedback on your last sig to heart and decided to keep expanding on the concept. Always great to see that, other than that I do like the more stripped down b/w style. But I think using some more tools to add depth to the sig would have helped set it off a bit further, as well as implementing the text a bit more in the style that the rest of the graphic runs in. I'd have expected a more sort of press print look of the text to fit in with the black and white movie vibe of the background and player. Possibly using a stock to add some film grain and other such effect could have almost helped further solidify that vibe, if it was actually what you wanted to go for. Could just be my interpretation of it. Rating (as always): 6.9/10

Shots lead to Goals, Goals lead to wins, Wins lead to the dark side. It is known. With that being said .You probably could have done with using some combination of levels and/or exposure to match the darkness of the Scoring Machine with Obi-VHL Kenobi to make it fit together a bit more naturally. Same for the face swap, since it's a bit brighter than the background you could have worked a bit more with the lighting on that to make it fit better. But for a meme graphic, it does the job. So all good. In keeping with tradition, I'll rate it the following. Rating: 6.9/10

1. MID, then go out early in the playoffs. As is a long standing David tradition. #blamecole 2. Purple and Black, instead of Black an Purple. 4head #blamecole 3. Points and Assist-wise, yes. Goals wise he's being FISTED ANALLY BY A CIRCUS MONKEY though. #blamcole 4. Trygve Many Guns. Best hockey player name ever, fight me! #blamecole 5. Well, in his rookie season it would have been Elias Pettersson. This season I haven't watched a single game though, so can't really comment. #blamecole 7. Die Hard, obviously. #blamecole

With Bo's 93 Assist so far this season that's a new hybrid era record, and he's got his sights set on trying to beat Moreau's 112 point record for dmen. Though after two awful games where he only put up 1G 0A, it's looking like a very tall ask. Needing to score 9 points in the final 4 games of the season to do it. Now Bo has scored at 2 PPG pace for quite a few sims this season, including multiple performances in the 14 game point streak that just ended, with the best sim arguably being one where he put up 8 points in 3 games. So to set that record he's going to have to really clutch up these last 2 sims. But it's not impossible. The interesting thing to note about Bo's season is that as much as he's had an amazing season. It's been far from perfect, sitting on a somewhat laughable 4.56 S% he's left with about 10 fewer goals than you'd project him to have with his shot totals. So had Simon favored his shooting to a slightly more normal degree this season, Bo likely would have slammed the record that was set by Frank in S83 with a 10.10 S%, putting up almost twice Bo's goals with ~70 fewer shots on the season.

Claim 3/3 Week Ending 12/25

The funny thing about Bo's season is that his S% is absolutely atrocious at around 4%, if it was closer to "normal" numbers he'd have another 10(ish) goals on top, putting him neck and neck with Baby Bob.

I'm cool with it if Bojo is.

Always hard to tell what is/isn't working with builds. I've tried to keep a 4-5 gap between Skating and Passing on purpose to make Bo skate the neutral zone instead of trying to pass through it, but I do agree it's a bit weird the difference between Poopy and Bo is as big as it is just looking at this season. Previous seasons I think we've never really been *that* similar. At least different enough that having very different outcomes make some sense. Bo's first two seasons had neither SC or CK, then 3rd season was SC but no CK and 4th season was SC+CK. The DI+LD add didn't happen until this season, and with how much STHS seems to just love high TPA. It's almost hard to tell how much Bo's performance comes from what I've actually added to, and how much is from STHS going "big number good, ooga boga!" The main reason I've added to DI is cause I don't want Bo taking 100+ PIM like last season, and since neither LD or PO depreciate it's the only things I can still add to and be able to deal with the new depreciation while also peaking Bo at 1337 TPA, because it's a funny number. And really, I probably wouldn't recommend Bo's build to people. Thunder's build makes more sense unless you're degen earning like I am. I'm basically just brute forcing performance by earning all the things. His is significantly more "efficient".

It's how I do. Also you can't really blame anyone involved for this trade, other than me. Since I did demand a trade. That always puts management in an awful position and at the time getting a 1st + 2nd back for a largely unproven 1st gen was realistically the most anyone could ask for. That being said, in hindsight, it's a pretty brutal trade. At least until we reach the point where trading Bo away becomes the correct move for Chicago, at which point I'll happily waive my NTC. That is indeed the plan.

This pretty much matches up with how I "felt" like it works, dmen (beyond 1 high TPE per unit) barely matter in the regular season, but if you don't have them in the playoffs you are usually in a world of hurt, somewhat similar with very low TPE goalies.

Simon loves turnips, it's been confirmed!

And another 5, for 5 questions

Very true, if there was ever a city to dodge it's Västerås.

Have you considered playing for DC at some point in your career? Also to the surprise of absolutely no one, the 3 players with the most LD are at the top of the STHS TPA list.
