1. It's jealousy. He knows I'm a superior VHL historian even now.
2. It's always been Calgary, briefly was a toss-up with Davos, but nah Calgary wins my heart every time. Also the Stockholm Vikings of course, RIP.
3. Used to be Vasteras, now probably Quebec or Seattle. I'm going to go with Seattle because I've at least played for Quebec with moderate success.
1. Boredom I think and maybe a bit of a desire to help, inject a bit of activity. I'm just glad the VHL is still here and an option to come back to.
2. It's hard to choose a fave, there are many people I enjoy interacting with here. @JardyB10 and I go back a long time though, so for nostalgia points it has to be him.
Least fave is much easier but I'd prefer not to answer - I've just come back so will use this as a clean(ish) slate.
3. Not hugely. In the past, there was some NHL influence I think, for instance Lars Berger started out based on Lars Eller, and Alexander Chershenko on Alex Ovechkin, but it became more of a very emotionless process for me - just build the best player for that position possible.
Thank you for your questions you fine gentlemen, I will answer the other 4 next week and hopefully someone will throw a few more at me in the meantime.
