This is a really nice looking graphic! The placement of the players, BG logos, jersey logos and text is cohesive. Well done! The colour scheme works well. The players layers and cut outs are clean. Jersey logos are sized appropriately, placed well and match the jersey and team colours. The font for the text and placement of the text looks good for the poster. The fade off of the players looks great. It is fun to see a showdown Continental Cup poster between these two teams! Nice work this awesome, giving it a 10/10.

this graphic SLAPS. amazing job as usual, sadie!!

DAVOS, CH — HC Davos Dynamo have done the unthinkable after going down three games in the series against the Moscow Menace, turning the tide and defeating them in a reverse sweep. Meanwhile, London United eliminated the first place Prague Phantoms in five games and have been impressive throughout the playoffs so far. These two fiery and scrappy teams will now face each other in Round 3 of the Continental Cup Playoffs.
 
This goes to mention the rivalries that come with this matchup, as Siyan Yasilievich will be facing his former club— while good friends Lachlan Summers and Jesse Teno will square up in the crease for the first time in the playoffs, and potentially the first meeting of many. These two netminders have a rivalry that’s been blossoming over the course of this season and is sure to grow over the course of their young careers.
 
Summers, who is still considered a rookie and in his first season starting for Davos, has backstopped his team to his first playoff series win in his entire career (VHLM/VHLE/VHL), and Teno has simply been spectacular and consistent thus far. Comparing the two, Summers has a 4-2-1 record, .924 SV%, and a 3.14 GAA. On the other hand, Teno boasts a 7-1-1 record, .955 SV%, 1.51 GAA, and three shutouts. Teno, on paper, has had better numbers and more experience under their belt in the big leagues, but Summers has been shown to be resilient and clutch when the time has called for it. 
 
“I can’t think of a better team to be a part of right now. Nobody on this Davos squad was playing scared against Moscow. We took it one game at a time and put on a hell of a performance and comeback. These guys deserve all of the praise in the world, and we’re hungry for more,” quoted Summers in a press conference after game 7 against Moscow. “London has been a thorn in our side lately, but we want to change that.”
 
Summers was also asked about his rivalry with Teno, who he has kept in contact with since they were both players in the VHLM. 
 
“Jesse has stood on their head for London. That’s all I have to say. They’re playing like their life depends on it and I respect that. I know how hard they work and to be able to play against them in this next round will be thrilling. Plus, when Davos wins, the bragging rights will be unreal. It’s all in good fun, though. Anything that happens on the ice will stay there, as I’ve said before. They’re one of my closest friends in this league and I don’t think I’d be where I am without some friendly competition. We encourage each other to be better than we were the day before.”
 
This series should be a nail biter as both teams are fairly well-matched, although London had the edge in the regular season. VHL fans are eager to see how London and Davos stack up, with their young goalies being one of the main focal points!

With enough shit happening in my real life and with little to zero motivation for tasks, plus Murray being another mediocre player. I need a break I might be back. I would like to be back. I might also do a Mubbles who knows.
 
But thank you to everyone who made this place a great place.
 

Great theme. You are a winner.

Reporter: After having such a large bounceback in the regular season, does losing in the wild card round feel like it was all for nothing?
 
SSL: No, I think this season was a really valuable experience to have; to go from bottom of the barrel to a solid playoff team in the span of a couple months is a special achievement. Obviously the loss to London stings, but I have a lot of hope for this team next year. I think that despite my point total, I have improved a lot this year and it will start showing in my production soon.
 
R: What is your biggest takeaway from this season?
 
SSL: Basically, when you're down, you're never out, even when you are in last place with seemingly no hope. We were unlucky to face such a good performance from the United, but everyone feels good about what we have achieved I hope, because it was impressive.
