Hmmmmmm, OK.

You should be equally as pleased with the Boomchenko. It's named after a legend(in his own mind).

1. Who should the Bears target in the draft tonight with their picks? They should definitely take that Kovalchuk guy. He looks to be pretty decent player, although his agent is a bit sus. 2. If the draft is over, how do you think the Bears did? Oh they did take "Chuck", nice. Yes then they did really well and should continue to improve again next season. 3. Who should the Bears target in Free Agency? Gunnar Odi.....oh shit, wait. I'm not sure they need to throw money around as the roster looks really nice already. Maybe some more defensive depth or something. Shit, I don't know, I'm not front office material. 4. Thoughts on Vancouver winning the Continental Cup? It was expected and the fact that it was, reflects poorly on both the league and the front office in Vancouver. Just another reason why I'll never play for that shithole. 5. What's one move you'd make to improve the Bears this season? Only draft or sign 40 Passing players. Oh, seriously? I think that the plan in Seattle is already on track, so I'm not sure any further moves are really necessary at this stage. 6 . What are your individual expectations for this upcoming season? I'm unsure of where I'll be headed this season, but it's likely that I'll just keep banking all my TPE and only apply it when I'm drafted to the VHL. As such, I expect to slide in the draft and subsequently have a terrible time in the minor leagues.

It's been a while since I've reviewed one of your pieces, so buckle up man, I'm a really harsh critic. Ha. This is really well done, with everything working well together to produce a quality end result. The neon is great and the coloring itself really works well. The text/font is nice and yes, while the "K" in Kennedy is a little hard to see, it's only subtext and it's readable anyway. No big deal, especially with the overall quality graphic. Easily a 9/10.

Well I'd vote for your reinstatement to the recruitment team, based solely on this. What a beaut. The double render is used to good effect here, and the text work while simple, is all that's needed to spread the point of the graphic in the first place. Coloring catches the eye, and the render work is pretty nice and blends well between the two renders as well. Excellent work STZ...9/10

@N0HBDY

Well fuck me. That looks nice.

Nice work. Even if it doesn't turn out completely right, it's nice to see someone doing media about the draft. Especially for newer users who appreciate the highlight on their player.

Congratulations on the appointments. Now draft me @Frank

Now show us your distinct lack of eyebrows.

@fishy my comment/gif was in response to Minions "Grammar from minion is the best" Easy enough mistake to make.

Fine then. Now they do it like this.

Name : Hammar Voss Nationality : South African Position : Defense Height : 6'8 Weight : 235lb Age : 20 Allow us here at VHL.com Scouting, to present a somewhat brief report on Hammar Voss. We had the pleasure of preparing this report while in Miami to look at some of their prospects working out prior to the VHLM draft, scheduled for the next few days. What follows is merely our opinion and GM's should not base their drafting decisions on the following commentary. Hammar Voss' skating ability is at a very high level, which will only improve with the proper development and coaching. He features excellent speed and acceleration both forwards and backwards, great pivots, excellent lateral agility, and fantastic edgework. The great skating gives him outstanding mobility allowing him to always be in position defensively, and to join the play offensively and still be able to recover back to his position. He covers a ton of ice, and it is very difficult to beat Voss one-on-one. Offensively, Voss shows confidence and poise with the puck on his stick, and is really developing into a solid two-way defenseman. His offensive game is keyed by smart decision making and developing passing skills, although they may be wasted in such a meta environment like the VHL. His shot is very hard, but what really makes it an effective weapon is his ability to find the openings to get it through to the net. With such a heavy shot, even his rebounds lead to secondary opportunities for his teammates. His agility and edgework allow him to walk the line and open up shooting and passing lanes. Defensively, Hammars mobility keeps him in position to make plays, and helps him to cut down passing and shooting lanes. He is a smart defenseman who anticipates the play well and he works hard in the corners, and is willing to battle in front of the net. In terms of talent he could develop into a top 4 defenseman capable of playing all situations and being a weapon on the powerplay. That may seem like a high estimate based solely on 11 VHLM games and one Miami training session, but we truly believe that Voss possesses the skillset and talent to be a VHL weapon. PROS: Skating : Voss has an incredible stride, and can really take advantage of situations where a forward may over commit. He can go end to end, which is a novelty for someone who stands 6'8 and it's thought that he will continue to develop and become even better. Shot : When Voss takes a shot, he really takes it. He possesses an absolute cannon and once he develops the accuracy to go with it, he will be a devastating weapon for his team. CONS: Confidence : Hammar needs to be more assertive with the puck and make faster decisions whether to pass or keep the puck. Sometimes he is unsure and that hesitation can cost his team a scoring opportunity. Mental Strength : Voss undoubtedly has a high hockey IQ but questions remain over his ability to cope with elite talent opposition on a regular basis. Most GM's think he can, but will need the right coaches around him to continue to develop and rid him of the few faults he currently has. 543

Name : Hammar Voss Nationality : South African Position : Defense Height : 6'8 Weight : 235lb Age : 20 Voss was born and raised in South Africa, a nation not known for it's production of elite Ice Hockey talent, although former BOOM™ Agency representative and HOF'er Bizmarck Koenig also has ties to the African nation. It's a minor miracle that players such as Voss and many others from around the world, find themselves with an opportunity to play hockey at an elite level, specifically with the Victory Hockey league. Voss had outgrown all opportunities to progress his playing career in his home country, so when Koenig was visiting his parents for Christmas this past year, Voss took the opportunity to speak with him and gain a personal recommendation to try out for the VHLM International Program. Voss showed enough in his one tryout for the Miami Marauders to offer him a "rest of season" deal and he played in the final 11 games of the season, finishing with 4 points(2 G, 2 A) 20 Hits and 7 Shot Blocks. He will be entered into the S82 VHLM draft, where he hopes to be selected by a team that will help him develop into a productive offensive defenseman and hone his current mediocre skillset. PROS AND CONS + Voss is a pretty good skater for a man his size and he likes to hit. And hit big. He possesses a cannon of a shot, has great puck skills and is strong defender with natural hockey skills. Add that to his high hockey IQ and a huge shot, and Voss looks like a player who has an incredibly high ceiling at the VHL level once he arrives. Of course he will need decent coaching at both the VHLM and VHLE level, but most established VHL scouts think that he has the ability to succeed wherever he plays. - There are always some negative aspects when bringing international talent to the Victory Hockey League and Voss is no exception. There is no question that he has a high hockey IQ, but questions remain whether he has the mental strength to continue to develop to his potential, while playing against top tier North American and European talent, possibly on a poor team being outclassed night after night. Voss is not the most accurate shooter either, despite having a heavy shot, the radar isn't always dialed in so to speak. He will need to work on that aspect of his game, in order to hear his name called early on draft night. If he can work on those flaws, many believe he may be drafted earlier then expected, but to hear his name called at all will be a relief to the young South African. 453

I don't think you guys do, but I just wanted to stir the pot. Good luck with your selection.
