Thunder

What about ring dings or devil dogs?

Just go easy when Halifax plays Saskatoon please!!

1. The end of the regular season is here! How do you feel about your performance this season? Would have liked more hits and shots blocked, but being on a great team is awesome. 2. Which team do we have to keep our eye on in the playoffs? One series at a time. 3. Which series has been the best in the NHL playoffs so far? I’ve only watched Boston/Toronto. Not happy with it. Bruins need to step it up. 4. Describe your perfect date. In a suite at the Bruins and it’s game 7 for the Stanley Cup. Wife has her eyes on the game so she’s not bugging me. Bruins win!!! What could be better than that? 5. What is the most important thing that a team needs to have success on a deep playoff run? They need to play playoff hockey. 6. Why is it that the second movie in a trilogy usually ends up being the best one? Well, Dumb and Dumberer was kind of funny!!! I dont know why tho.

1. We’ve only got a few regular season sims left, who do you predict will be the Continental Cup champion? Moscow 2. Our beauty of a captain, David Jokinen, has had a career year! Any words to commend him on this feat? He’s my hero. 3. What do you believe we can learn from this season that we can carry onto the next? Any bold predictions or suggestions? Win more, lose less 4. If you had a chance to add a new award to the VHL, what would it be and what would you name it? The Ray Bourque Trophy. Player who wins the most fights 5. Regarding fighting in hockey, do you believe it is a staple of the sport? Or is it something that should be phased out of the game entirely? Ouch. You serious? Whoever is suggesting that fighting be phased out is not a hockey player. You cannot participate in playoff hockey without hitting hard and that sometimes flares up into a fight. Now, the fighters can decide how hard to punch. 6. The Stanley Cup playoffs have begun! Which team has impressed you most thus far? It’s easier for me to tell you which team has not impressed me. That would be the Bruins, my team. They cannot maintain 60 minutes of playoff hockey. I thought Big Rig would help motivate them, but thus far, they soften up too soon. 7. In terms of playstyle and build, which NHL player is yours most similar to? Radko Gudas. Love that Gudas hip check!! 8. Since this debate has flared up again recently: is a hot dog a sandwich? It can be when it’s called a polish sandwich, ie. the hotdog is split in half and placed on two slices of bread with pickles mustard ketchup and onion. Other than that, no. Especially when a hot dog is cut up and put in spaghettiios. Oh, now I’m hungry.

All that work to get lifetime fan club membership and you turn me down. What am I going to do now?

Graphic Review You are seeing this review because I’m a dumb ass and got a trivia question wrong. The color scheme is well chosen as the shades of purple go with the black helmet and they blend in quite well to make the graphic appear to be a work of art. The player is the focal point of the graphic and its size is appropriate as it doesnt dominate the graphic and allows the viewer to appreciate the background as art. I like the direction of the eyes you have chosen on the player as it adds to the graphic’s purpose. The signature location is a really good spot on the graphic as well as the font size. It goes with the player and the color scheme as well. I dont recognize your graphic style so I dont think I have done reviews of yours in the past, but looking at your two signature graphics along with the graphic you just completed, its safe to say that you have quite a bit of talent on making graphics. Well done! Score 10/10

There is a new giant in the VHLM. At 6’8”, weighing in at 250 pounds, this player has come to cause damage. Marlins GM, @dylanjj37, has joined the San Diego Marlins squad, and in his short preview of only playing 6 games, GM has been punishing opponents. GM has 16 hits thus far, and the referees have taken notice to the physical force GM provides to the San Diego defense. @Mysterious_Fish, San Diego Marlins general manager, has welcomed his new player, and plans on mentoring Marlins GM, so that GM has a successful career in the VHLM. San Diego AGM, @meandyoc, has some concerns with the freedom Marlins GM has with the team and has expressed his concerns of the possibility of San Diego relocating to the Faroe Islands, where Marlins GM is from. Given Marlins GM relationship with Juan Ceson, John Season, Stan Par, and other wealthy hockey stars, Mysterious_fish and Meandyoc are looking forward to the unlimited resources that could be coming Marlins way, and they are planning on a VHLM championship in the future. In the meantime, they are spending their free time in the Juan Ceson zoo, as they have lifetime membership passes. 270 words

I miss uncle BoJo

Just fight Rip Wheeler a few times, that will boost your win loss record.

Take Rip Wheeler @ScottyP to Vegas with you and bury him in the desert.

Graphic Review After doing review of the first graphic, scrolling down to the next one to review because I got both trivia questions wrong, I saw this one and liked the detail so decided to review it. As it turns out, it’s the same designer as first review today. Designer definitely is talented with doing graphics. You have skill. I like the colors because it’s simple on the eyes but there are enough changes in colors that it identifies everything in the graphic that needs to be said. The player is the main focus on this graphic, as the size of the player encompasses from top to bottom. The logo is warped and distorted at the right dimensions that its impossible to tell if it is layered on the jersey. It fits well and the shades make everything realistic. I like the shades of blue used for the entire graphic. The dark on the left that is behind the player and then lightens as progresses on the right side. Added to that is some kind of blended shapes which make it all fit in. The detail of making sure the color of the fingers on the left side of the graphic are darker and the colors of the fingers on the glove near the signature are lighter, matching the signature really adds to the graphic. I can assume a lot of work was put into this and it was quite time consuming to make these fine tuning adjustments. I can now say that this graphic is consistent with the work I have seen of your graphics. Very good graphic. Score 10/10

Graphic Review It sucks getting trivia wrong because then I have to go down the list of graphics and put my inexperienced two cents in, so here goes! At first glance, my response was “Wow” this is a good graphic. I like what popped out right away, the player, mysterious and unfettered. The Wolves logo behind is perfect because it adds to the no nonsense of what Annie Oaks is telling the viewer, “Don’t Fuck with Me.” I like how the wolf blends in with the player and the wolf shows teeth, bad ass. The selection of the shades of black really add to the graphic and makes everything blend in really good. The size of the player is not overbearing and the signature is located at a spot in the graphic that emphasizes its importance but with dominating the graphic. The font choice is good and works well with the wolf. I think this is the first graphic of yours that I have paid attention to, and I see that you have serious graphic talent. I really like this graphic. Score 10/10

1. What did you make of the wild's trade deadline? We scored on that deal. No doubt about it. 2. Who do you think pose the biggest threat to the wild this post season? The biggest threat is partying in between playoff rounds as we wait for the other teams to catch up. 3. 1 game left for the east team to make it into the NHL playoffs! Who makes it?
