Moscow, Russia. After yet another finals loss, Moscow Menace defenseman Hard Markinson was quite disappointed. He has a strong overall season, and then a remarkable playoff. Markinson was able to score 28 goals and 110 points, while also throwing 222 body checks and blocking 172 shots. On both sides of the puck Hard Marksinon was really strong. In fact, Markinson grabbed voted for both Offensive Defenseman of the year, and Defensive Defenseman of the year, however did not win either. One would never call Hard a "specialist" when it came to his game, however, as he really is a complete player. For this, he was awarded, almost unanimously, the Sterling Labatte Trophy for VHL Defenseman of the Year. This was quite the achievement for the young blue liner who is now considered one of the more elite defenseman in the VHL. Marksinon was quoted saying the following: "It's a huge honour to win a Labatte. It was alsways a dream of mine to make the VHL, and now to be considered the top defenseman, it's quite incredible. I was pretty happy when I won the Stolzy for Rookie of the Year, but I think this one is another level. I couldn't have done it without the team around me, my D-Partner Chara @Agito was incredible, and is a huge reason why my game was able to move into the spot it is today. The whole team is excited for next season and push for a cup. The individual awards are nice, but the reason we play every game is to win a championship".

Review: I like this template you made for the draft class. Nice clear font, and generally speaking a pretty easy template to alter. I like the logo work and simplicity of the textwork. The only Thing is that there's a lot of different colours kinda going on. Not sure why the text box gradient is grey and red, maybe grey and orange or blue that matched the logo would be more fitting. Maybe even doing some desaturation effects on the player images, even if it wasn't fully B&W it would blend all together a bit more. Great work though, I love them! 9.5/10

Review: You are really hitting your stride. The last few graphics have been really cool. I love how you've elevated your work while still having your signature style. Overall this is a great looking sig. I love the red and yellow combo, not sure if that's a callback to Hulk Hogan the wrestler, but it's a nice touch. the text is interesting and the background text is also pretty cool. The double stroke is a nice addition, I but it almost seems like you could have had a simmilar effect on the left side as well (even if it was a stoke on the yellow hogan bar, just to frame the entire sig. I mean it's still really cool, just kinda throwing an idea out there. I think you do a great job with grungey, sharp, bold looking graphics. I would love to see in your future pieces try going with choices that aren't as heavy. For example, the stroke on the render, if you had it set at 1 pixel instead of 3 or 4, it might not dominate the whole sig. Hope thats helpful critique.. I do think you're improving at a really fast pace right now and I love it. 9.2/10

Review: I really like this one, I think it's one of your more visually appealing graphics. I like the neon look, and the strong definiting lines that are colourized really nice. I like how you've used the pink and blue gradient on the text to match the neon effect over the whole signature. The wave effect is cool, but I think you've removed too much of it, as you can really only see it on the mask and then lightly around the edges. It could be a really cool effect if you made that wave effect really strong on the edges, as if it's rippling out. I think the text is fine, I don't think subtext needs to be overly clear. I think the Augustus is clear enough, and the focal point really is on the render and the neon light effect. Great job here. 9/10

Review: Spot on jersey change. I love the colouring of this it is very appealing. The text work is really well done, I love that San Diego font. Overall just really well done for what this is. Water texture is cool, I think some sort of splash effect above the render would be cool, or something to kind of blend the render into the rest of the sig. I would give this signature a rating of nine point three out of ten, great work frank! the end.

I'll make one of these every week.. @MexicanCow123 @Moon

Moscow, Russia. After yet another Finals loss, the Moscow Menace are faced with an off-season of questions. Do they load back up, or is there something in the formula that isn't wuite right? Fans and critics alike have been debating whether this team can really get it done. They are cornered around franchise power forward Duncan Idaho, and a smooth skating playmaking defenseman Aurelien Moreau. Young netminder Papa Emertius has proven to be an elite goalie in the league, and made a statement in the playoffs. Second line center Seabasstard had a breakout season, where he dropped 127 points in 72 games played. Rookie Nico Pearce had an outstanding first season, living up to the hype around this blue-chip prospect. Paul Atriedes has been the number one center that Moscow expected him to be, when selected first overall in S77. When you break it down, there's no player on this team underachieving, and there are a handful of elite talent, incredible depth, and world class management - so why haven't they been able to get the job done? That is the question everyone is wondering; will this year be different? One player left off that summary was former second overall selection Hard Markinson. Markinson was paired up through the season with Zdeno Chara, and played a very important shutdown role on the second pairing. However, Markinson completely went off in the playoffs, having an offensive breakout post-season. Markinson put up 37 points in the 17 games played, while also having very impressive defensive stats. Hard had 110 points in the regular season, bringing his career total for points above a point per game. Between this season and last, his playoff points total 47 in 32 games played. While there are question marks about how effective Moscow is in the post-season, it does seem that the young hard hitting defenseman shows up in the games that matter.

Review: Pretty attractive looking graphic. The effort level is there with the three jersey changes representing each captain. The renders all seem like different quatity, and that Hayes render looks like it might have been resized improperly. I think the text is cool and informative for the type of message you're delivering. The render strokes are good, but I think they should all match the same size of stroke. I still think a good level of effort was put into this, and I think that means a lot. 8/10

Review: I like a lot of elements in this, but there is something that feels off. I don't know if it's the lighting, or just that the fire doesn't have the same sharpness as the rest of the sig. I think you used the same fire texture on the left and right side of the render, and it kinda stands out. I like the main text, the yellow and red work so well together. The face change as well as the helmet change is a really cool touch. I think you might have went for a Winter Classic hat over the helmet lol. Overall still a strong piece! 9/10

1. Papa shut the door when he needed to, and our offense really showed up! 2. It was quite a feat in my opinion. Malmo is a really deep team, with great meta players and chemistry. I don't know how we were able to get through them in six. 3. I think this is one of the underrated stories in the VHL. Seabass is such a consistent earner who knows how to make great players. The fact that he's on the second line, helps us create unique depth within the team that makes it hard on opponents. 4. I honestly have no ice how he's been able to produce at a 2 points per game pace for playoffs. It's great to see, but hard to explain! 5. If anyone knows it's OD. He's made unbelievable players in the past, and you just need to trust that Idaho will come out of this slump. He is still playing great, but I believe he will break out into the generational talent we all expect him to be! 6. One thing that is cool is a wireless phone charger. I can actually attach it under my desk, so that my phone charges just sitting on my desk.
