    Press Conference - Week Ending January 2nd

     

    (Answer all 6 questions for 2 TPE)

     

    1. First and foremost, welcome back from the Christmas break! Did you have a good Christmas?

    2. Alex TheGreat has had a tremendous season for us thus far, with only two players in the VHLM being within 20 points of his 114 points scored to date. How do you rate his award chances heading into the final stretch of the season?

    3. Thomas Price has also been one of the best goalies in the league this season, sitting second in the league in save percentage and GAA. How much confidence does it give you heading into a game knowing that we have a goalie like Price between the sticks?

    4. We've recently had to release a couple of players for reasons beyond our control, but if you could name one VHLM player you would have loved to replace them, which would it have been?

    5. What is your VHL New Years resolution?

    6. What is your real New Years resolution?

     

    @Alex Thegreat @Julien_Bernier @Dtayl @Budnik @CDS_Leb @Girts @Speedster69 @hcrooster96 @Max77 @BenTheViking64 @Patty @PuckyMcStick   @Da Trifecta @Thunderidge @ClarkClanT @The_happy_apple2 @Zyrok @jacobaa19 @Kairi @Rhynex Entertainment @Crstats23 @Kendrick

    1. Christmas low-key, but it was good!

    2. I would rate them very high, he seems like he has a legit chance at taking home extra hardware this season.

    3. When you have someone back there that will make up for your defensive mistakes, it does make it a bit easier to perform under pressure.

    4. I'm new to the team so replacing anyone with me might have been the best decisions but that's just my opinion.

    5. To score more goals and to realize my potential and go after it!

    6. To only drink water and live a healthier life in general. We only get one body, gotta treat it right.

    Hey @Kendrick, welcome back to the league! I'm MubbleFubbles (although you'll know me better as Tagger) and I'm AGM of the Las Vegas Aces and we'll be able to give you third line minutes this season. We're currently leading in our conference and second place in the overall standings, so we've got a good shot at giving you some success this season before you head into the VHLM Draft, but we can also offer you an incredibly active discord locker room on top of that! If this offer strikes your interest, quote this with #McKayIsAllIn and should you accept, we'll get you aboard in the locker room and in the sim as soon as we can.

     

    Best of luck with your new player!

    Hello sir! Tagger...is that also a name that came after another name?

     

    I'd love to join Las Vegas! #McKayIsAllIn

  3. Here is my honest take: I'm not insulted it was used, I totally get the Steel portion and I understand Steel may relate to the revolution in industry progression years ago. I just think there are more things that could represent Germany better like the following

     

    • Oktoberfest (Think a festival style logo)
    • Autobahn
    • Castles
    • Beer (Think Milwaukee Brewers)

    34. Bears have slowed down. If you were coach, what lines would you try?

    35. At the next home game, the Bears are including a prize with the 50/50. What is it? Example, boat, season tickets, etc.

    36. Seattle is currently 47 games though and counting. How do you feel they finish the season?

    37. Rasputin career high for wins is 37. Will he break that? Will he hit 40?

    38. Brown is currently 20th all-time for Bears points. 2 away from 19th, 3 away from 18th and and 23 away from 17th. Where does he finish the season? "Player Stats"

    39. Tight race in the NA conference. Which teams make the playoffs? Who doesn't?

    40. Do you feel the teams are mostly set in the Euro conference or will there be some surprises?

    34. I'd throw paint at the wall and see if it stuck really. See who blends well, I don't know who works with who until it's tried.

    35. It's a free admission to the Space Needle for life!

    36. I feel we finish with 45 wins!

    37. I think he will finish with 41 wins this year

    38. I say he finishes with the 16th most all-time!

    40. I feel it will end up the way it is right now

  5. In society now you see a lot of people speaking up to racial inequality, racial divide, systemic racism and hate against the LGBTQia2s+ community. You also see a lot of opposition to these individuals who are speaking out. Mainly the "Well I wasn't a slave owner so don't get mad at me" crowd. When these people speak out saying that things shouldn't change and that the statue represents history, there's one thing that comes to mind: Shut the Fuck Up. If you honestly believe that racism isn't an issue just because you haven't seen it or experienced it, then you're both ignorant and a fucking dumbass. Quebec has a damn law that prohibits Muslims from "looking Muslims" with their cultural and religious attire. Kamloops was just the start of the search for Indigenous truth and there are more to come. Hell even today Manitoba found some more bodies. This will continue to change this country and we can start be speaking up about the terrible history this country has been apart of. Being "woke" shouldn't be an insult, it's a damn right to be aware and trying to make a change.

    27. What are your thoughts on the Bears so far this season?

    28. The Bears Den Restaurant just came out with a new announcement (#7) and @16z was added as a menu item.. SEE HERE! Do you have any ideas on what member and what they could be as an item could be added to the Bears Den?

    29. Which team is more impressive right now in the VHLM... Yukon or Halifax? Why?

    30. What are your thoughts on your players performance so far?

    31. What Bear has been the underrated hero so far? Could be more than 1 etc.

    26. I will be heading to the interior to visit my favourite town with the family

    27. I think we have been improving and taking the league by storm

    29. Halifax because the city itself is more impressive

    30. About what I expected as a rookie coming into a league full of veterans

    32. I think a cattle branding might work better, make him part of the team more with the logo branded on his forehead

    33. They should call it Furcoin

    22. I'm just looking to up my stats, I don't care about my in game production.

    23. I'm a rookie so can't say I will be doing this, but several people have bought many shaving cream cans

    25. Probably New York because they are rivals and I hate them (not really)

  8. Once again Kendrick is here to give a shoutout but unfortunately it is not for any one person, feel like we've been here before. However, I think it's important to point out my thoughts on the VHLE and what that brings to this forum. Take this with a grain of salt if you want (I know @frescoelmotakes everything I say with a grain of salt anyways) but I totally support this VHLE expansion. I trust that the cities that get chosen are ones that make sense. Not that I think everything should be realistic considering the VHL is a league comprised of teams that don't really physically exist (try telling Anderson that though). However, in my opinion cities like Paris do make sense now as French hockey has taken a real leap in terms of talent in the past 10 years. Teams in Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, Belarus, Ukraine and Austria all make sense. Hell why doesn't Iceland have a team yet? Let's be realistic but have some fun with the exposure aspect. Russia? Yes, hell yes to that. I mean we can work on making sure the travel conditions are better in Russia, but I fully support that country having a VHLE team. Let's not go down the road of putting a team in remote places though, they won't work. No to Vasteras because that will always have a stink to it. You want Sweden? Sure go somewhere not associated with Lucas Tannehill and his weird obsession.

  9. Got damn it's nice to be out of the house more. Spring is a sexy beast and Mother Nature wears her best when the flowers bloom and the sun comes out in full force. I could do without my neighbour Ron thinking the community is a nudist colony every Tuesday, but hey I guess we all need that sweet sunshine on our skin. Anyone else a spring baby and thrive the most when the weather is nice but not deathly attacking your potential skin cells with cancer scares? I've always got the most work down this time of year and it's a boost to both my wallet but also the family to be able to go outside and experience when Spring has cleaned up from Winter. Don't get me wrong, Winter is nice too but given we just went through our first full out COVID Winter, we are so over it now. So I would like to raise a glass of your finest Porter and give a nod to Mother Nature for her generous offering of sun, pollen destroying my nasal passages and fresh new fruit in season. Spring...FUCK YEAH!

  10. Winterhawks.jpg?time=1617286839

     

    Nixon Caldwell has spent the last two seasons grooming down in the VHLM, but before that he was graced with the opportunity to be coached in the WHL with the Portland Winterhawks. Caldwell spent his first two seasons on the Winterhawks with only playing 15 games due to being undersized and of course a 16 and 17 year old. Being around the team and coaching staff allowed him to grow as both an individual and as a player. It's that maturity and growth that allowed him to be come a regular with Portland in his third official season with the franchise. His growth also was seen in his figure as the once 5'9" defensemen had grown quite a bit physically and was now 6'1" and ready to fill out his tall frame.

     

    His third season started off with a bang as a former teammate of his in Bantam took a run on his captain, in the first game no less. Caldwell stepped up and dropped the mitts and smashed the opposing players face up pretty bad. Nixon was ready to assert himself and that he did in that first season of regular minutes. Nixon averaged 19:13 minutes of ice time a night and saw action in 52 games with the Winterhawks. It was there where they found out his booming snapshot was a key ingredient in their winning formula. Nixon notched 12 goals for the Winterhawks with playing on the third pairing and also saw minutes on the second power play unit.

     

    In his fourth season with the Winterhawks while turning the age 19, he saw increased minutes and some NHL Draft buzz. NHL Scouts started to fill the press boxes looking for some gems in the WHL and Caldwell caught the eye of several clubs. His strong play that year which consisted of 14 goals and 44 assists allowed him to get some WHL player of the week awards as well. It was in this season that Caldwell also increased his penalty minutes as he was a leader and leaders step in when teammates are in trouble. Ultimately Caldwell didn't get a lot of fighting majors but did end up getting roughing minors for stepping into altercations.

     

    At that seasons conclusion Caldwell was not drafted in the NHL but the VHLM did come calling he ended up getting selected in the VHLM Draft. It was in the VHLM that he finally felt wanted and accepted and the selection allowed him to have more pride on what he does.
