1. First in the league (as of writing), what’s got us to this point so far? We have been absolutely dominant in terms of scoring and keeping the puck out. 2. Currently we have 3 players in top 10 scoring (Lamb, Dear, Glass) and Uhtred just outside. How many do you think finish the season there? I believe we have 4 now which is insane. I will say 3 stay in there but would not count out 4. 3. There was a couple trades this past week, what are your thoughts on them? I have no idea, my main focus is Warsaw and winning with this team. 4. Do you think the trade market remains active or does it die off as usual at deadline? I think teams in general will always look for ways to improve so it could go either way. 5. Seems as though there are too many players for teams and the league plans to do something about it. What would you do to solve this problem? I agree with above that maybe some cap changes to weed out some inactives or bots being played. Maybe requiring extra lines or something? 6. Which other sim leagues are you apart of and rank them to most important to least. I am in almost every sim league. PBE and EFL are towards the top. VHL and SHL are towards the bottom just because I know hockey the least. No offence.

1. Warsaw is off to a good but not great start so far, how do you feel about the team performance thus far? It's meh. Needs to get better. 2. How do you feel about your individual performance? It has been awesome so far. 26 points in 19 games! 3. Are there any other teams that have surprised you whether good or bad so far this season? Probably Davos! 4. Who do you think is our biggest competition this year? Helsinki because they are kicking our butt 5. How important is it to upgrade Gino this year, or do you think we have a chance with no moves? Would be nice though I do like the volume I am getting because he is not great. 6. Do you have any plans for Easter this year? Maybe some Ham or something? And easter egg stuff

WARSAW, POLAND - One of the big stories so far of this year's VHL playoffs has been the emergence of the Warsaw Predators and this young recent expansion team has one their first ever playoff series in what was also the first ever reverse sweep as well when they came back from 3-0 down to beat Helsinki 4-3 in a best of 7 series. One of the players who has been very important, among many that has had a huge impact, has been winger Lexi Glass who has really come on as a big player this season for the Predators. Glass, a female right winger from Estonia, is in her 3rd VHL season and has improved on her points every single year to this point and finished off the regular season with 67 points in the 72 games and tallied 32 goals and 35 assists. In the 11 games so far in the playoffs Glass has 10 total points with 6 goals and 4 assists scoring around the same .9 points per game that she had in the regular season though she is about .91 now compared to .93 in the regular season. She does have a game winning goal in there as well which is pretty incredible for the young winger who was a bit of an afterthought in her rookie draft when she fell all the way to 23rd overall despite being easily among the top 15 in the class and is ranked at 14 in her current draft class in her TPE development. There are still a few more games in the series with Moscow but Glass looks to be a big part of continuing Warsaw's playoff run. The pending UFA is not thinking about the future right now and is 100% focused for the playoffs right now.

1. Warsaw just got its first ever playoff series win in spectacular fashion, pulling off the first reverse sweep in VHL history. How does it feel to be a part of this historical feat? Incredible! The first reverse sweep and the first Warsaw series win. Double history! 2. We have gotten our playoff winning streak up to 6 games as we sit up 2-0 against Moscow as of current writing. How do we keep this momentum rolling through the rest of the postseason? Well now we are 2-2! We should have swept them with how we played though. Just gotta play our game. 3. What is your prediction for the North American conference finals between Chicago and Vancouver? Going to go with Vancouver winning. 4. Which currently eliminated team do you think had the most impressive playoff run and why? Prague because DA is bae and they really put up a fight against Moscow. 5. If you could only eat one type of bread for the rest of your life what type of bread would it be? I love Rye bread with toast and sandwiches so I have to go Rye. 6. Ajay Krishna is up to 2 shutouts in the postseason thus far. What has his performance meant to our playoff run to this point? Krishna is the goat! He has been huge for us and putting together some terrific performances.

The abundance of female players in the VHL is certainly growing and the quality of these fabulous females is on the rise as well. This was certainly the case for the Warsaw Predators in this past season who spotted a few terrific women on the ice in Aloe Dear, Lexi Glass, and Dagmar Havlova. In what was perhaps the biggest game in the young Predators' history, the women came to play! Warsaw completed the reverse sweep of Helsinki in a thrilling game 7 that saw the Predators take a 6-3 win in the win and you're in game. In this game, 5 of the 6 goals were scored by female players with Lexi Glass and Aloe Dear having 2 goals each and Dagmar Havlova adding one as well, the first goal for Warsaw I believe. I would be willing to bet this may be the most combined goals for female players in a playoff game which is a huge achievement! I would be interested in overall stats for female players especially with more and more coming into the VHL and more and more becoming star players as well. Warsaw relied on 3 women as some of their star players and it paid off in this game, that's for sure. On to the next round! The team is filled with terrific star players outside of the girls as well! Watch for guys like Waters, Reynolds, Lamb, and star goalie Krishna as well to help carry the team. The team is talented and the team is diverse and would usher in a lot of hope for all future young teams and expansion teams along with all the female hockey players out there looking to play professionally!

1. Regular season finished! Are you happy with your performance this year? Yes I would say so! I think it was the launching point to my prime! 2. We were unable to get that 1st position locked up by just 2 points, how do we get over that going into the first round? First place is not super needed if we can just come together! 3. Playoffs! What are you doing extra to make sure we succeed this year? Extra skating practice! 4. Give yourself a pat on the back, we were the highest scoring team since season 64. What had us firing on all gears? We have so many weapons! 5. Are you gonna party like Brady and Gronk when we win the cup this year? Brady and Gronk are gross so no! 7. Speaking of Disneyland, do you like amusement parks and which is your favourite? I do! I really enjoy Disney World and Six Flags (new england and georgia)

1. As we gear up for the postseason, who do you see as our biggest competition and why? It has been us and Moscow all season so has to be them. 2. Who is in the playoff race that has surprised you the most this season? Prague always does well and looks to be a tough out. 3. Who has been the team MVP this season and why? Has to be Mitchell.

I really liked that trade for Prague but they have failed in goalie trades before 2.

We just need to play how we have most of this season! 3. Do you post on any social media platforms? Twitter and Reddit of course! 4. If a young fan asks you for your autograph, are you more than willing to give it? Of course! Would never deny a young fan of an autograph or photo! 5. Valentine's Day is coming up! Do you have a special person in your life? Lexi is currently single and ready to mingle! 7. How pumped are you for another chance at the playoffs this season? Extremely! It is what I play for. A chance at a cup!

We are 1st in the EU but it’s a close battle. Who do you think is our biggest competition? I would have to say Moscow is right now! 3. How do you feel about your players performance thus far this season? It has been really good so far and Glass keeps improving. 2nd line is firing! 5. It’s currently raining where I live, where it only rains a handful of times a year. Do you love or hate the rain? I don't mind it. Compared to snow though I love the rain! 6. Would you rather a piece of pie or cake? Which kind? Cake is great and I like ice cream cake or yellow cake with chocolate frosting 7. Are you a hat person? If so which style of hat Yes, usually a baseball cap or if I am in a cold place a trapper hat honoring the goat GMO Skee

What are your goals for this season? A championship is always the goal! 3. Having started 4-0-0 for a second consecutive season, what has been the main factor behind our strong start? 6-0-0 now I believe and just the whole team is coming together! 4. What was your favorite sports story of 2020? I'll piggyback off the one above. Alex Smith story is amazing. 5. How has the addition of Uhtred and rookies Kevin Wu and Nero Endrizzi to the team impacted us so far? Obviously it has been amazing! Chemistry has not been hit at all! 7. Chocolate or other sweets? Depends on my mood really. I bounce between fruity sweets vs Chocolate when I am having sweets.

For years, people have wondered just how Lexi Glass does it, maintaining a full-time hockey career along with a vast modeling gig as well and while not easy, she definitely pushes forward and loves doing both things. So much so, that losing one or the other right now is just not something that can happen. Now, you are wondering, how can someone have a career in the model industry and also play hockey where people hit you, the risk of teeth falling out and having your face or bones broken always looms on the ice and usually that is not something common in the world of modeling. Lexi takes great care of her body as well as her dental health as well and to this day has never had to come to the decision with what to do in terms of needing to replace a tooth or anything along those lines. Not to say that it is impossible but she does have top dentists that work on her mouthpiece equipment to try and ensure that she can continue having a terrific smile on and off the ice. Lexi, during the VHL off-seasons engages in multiple trips to model in different places all around the globe as well as appear in TV commercials and has even made cameos in television in her native country of Estonia. Recently, she had made trips to Portugal, Spain, and South Africa for opportunities to model for a few different fashion designers and one of the pictures can be seen above modeling for Cristobal Henriquez in Barcelona, Spain. It is a busy schedule, and Lexi continues to condition herself for all of it. When she isn't modeling, she is sleeping or playing hockey and when she isn't playing hockey, she is sleeping or modeling. It is a busy life but not one she will sustain forever. "I know that both hockey and modeling are both not super long term careers. I would love to get into fashion design, acting, or even broadcasting for the VHL at some point but I still have a lot in me. I love what I do and am excited for the future in my careers!"

1. Big congrats to Malmo, how does it feel now that we lost to the cup champs in the playoffs? It is always a bit better losing to the champs because you lost to the best team and that is okay. 2. Draft is in a few days, do you get excited even though you're not part of it? It is always great welcoming new teammates but it is not as exciting not being part of the draft in my experience. 3. We made a big trade bringing in Uhtred, are you happy to have another star forward up front? It will be good. Not sure what it will do with my ice time but hoping to get to a cup final! 4. With the roster pretty much set, how do you feel about Warsaw's chances next season? I like our chances a lot. I think we made playoffs sooner than I thought but sky is the limit now! 5. What have you been up to with your time off in the off-season so far? Lexi has been working on her modeling career around the world making stops in Portugal and Dubai. 6. I know it's a joke about golfing after the playoffs, but do you play? It has been awhile but yeah I enjoy golfing from time to time!

What a difference a year makes! After a severely underwhelming season as a rookie skater in the VHL, Lexi Glass, the Estonian right winger on Warsaw, had a season that should have people around the team and around the league super excited for her development and ability to stick out a great career in the VHL. For those who don't remember or have not looked into the stats, Lexi Glass had an okay rookie season, having been called up with a season and some change in the VHLM with both Mississauga and Ottawa. Lexi finished the season with a respectable 31 points, having totaled 15 goals and 16 assists but also the team took some hits it seemed while she was on the ice as she totaled a negative +/- of -25 in her first season. It was just not enough for how much promise she had when she entered the league and maybe that is why she fell slightly in the draft, and not just that she plans to at least explore free agency options after Season 76! Last season though, she started rounding out her game more and had more confidence and with a much improving supporting cast, Lexi was able to improve a lot on her underwhelming rookie campaign. Lexi finished with 52 points, an increase of 21 points as she now totaled 22 goals and 30 assists and the +/- was a positive at +36! Warsaw made the playoffs for the first time and Lexi was able to contribute to that success with her solid play on the right wing. There is still a lot Lexi can improve as she grows but she is looking like a valuable piece in the VHL and looks to break through even more as she continues to work on her game!

1. How are you coping thus far into the off-season, missing hockey already? Always better to be on the ice playing with the team than off the ice! 2. What kind of beverages you gonna enjoy the next few weeks? Water of course, gotta keep in shape! 3. How important is it that we lock up Lamb this off-season? Very! The guy is critical to this team! 4. Who you cheering for in the cup finals? Meh, nobody. Warsaw or bust amirite? 5. Are you excited for NHL to start back up? Yes I am! Don't watch religiously but always follow my team and try to catch some games. 6. Who do you cheer for in the NHL? Boston Bruins of course!

Agreed. OBX best BX

1. I got to say me just because I really hope I can be a difference maker! 2. Going with Havlova from an above answer! 3. Much improved! I feel like I am helping and not hurting the team! 4. Prague cause they traded and killed Crawford! 5. I love goalie, it is my favorite position but never tried winger so that is why I recreated! 6. I am out in Utah and Idaho visiting family and friends for the holidays!

Claiming the 6 uncapped. Doubles next week! Awesome job VHL!

Yes

1. Why does the team not perform as well in front of bot goalie as we do in front of Krishna? Because we love Krishna and only want to see him succeed! 2. When we are in need of a goal, who does everyone look to? Probably Lamb but hopefully me at some points at least in the future! 3. Over half way through the season in a tight conference, how do you like our chances for playoffs? Why not us!? We can do it! 4. If we can get there, do you think we have a serious shot at a run? Yeah once you get in, anything can happen so I would say definite yes! 5. What improvements do you see that need to be made to continue our success? We are on track I think, just gotta keep winning the close games! 6. Are there any video games out there that you can’t stop playing currently? I play Madden a lot because I am in a couple leagues, it is not the greatest game but leagues make it worth playing. Other than that OOTP is my go to. 7. How many hours of sleep do you need minimum to function normally? Don't need to answer this one but I usually get between 6-7 hours and that is just fine for me!
