1.What teammate of yours is the best to follow on Twitter, and why? CGY LW2 because he's writing pretty funny stuff on twitter and when you chat with him it seems like you're talking to a bot! 2. Who would win an arm wrestling competition on your team? Jasper Canmore @Bushito because he has a lot of strenght and he's 250 lbs so I think he would beat us all. 3. What is the craziest thing a puck bunny has ever done for your attention? I'm too focussed in my game to notice them, but if you read my other press conference with Helskinki you know that I walk to the arena instead of driving. So when I was playing for Saskatoon, after a game I was walking from the arena to my home and a girl was driving pass me and stopped her car on the side of the road, she asked for my autograph and asked me if I want a lift. She was really cute but I said no to the lift cuz I preffer to walk. Then I continue walking and then I saw she was following me with her car, and she passed by me again and invited me again to come in her car but I said no again because I preffer walking. She did it 3 or 4 times. Then when I arrived at home she was still following me in her car and she knocked on the door and she said she's my biggest fan and she's sad that I didn't accept she drives me to home and we talked and we started dating until I was drafted by Olso in the dispersal draft. 4. Now that we have played a few games, what do your think our team strengths and weaknesses are ? What are your suggestions? Our defense is our biggest weakness. We need to address it in a trade or in the next two upcoming drafts. Our goalie Brick Wahl @BladeMaiden is a rookie so he may not be that good this year but he'll be one of the top goalie in the future. I don't like saying this because I want to win, but after Jasper Canmore will we gone we should rebuild for the future and only keep S62 and younger players. We need every positions except a goalie because we have Brick Wahl. Our only strenght is Jasper Canmore but he can't do it all himself and he's getting old. 5. Would your rather be more talented or have a high "Hockey IQ" I'd rather have a high hockey IQ cuz talent is good but it's useless if you can't read the game. 6. If you could steal the skills of any active player in the league, from who would you steal? I would steal Luc-Pierre Lespineau-Lebrunette's checking skills because I wish I had them. Hitting everyone on the ice is fun! Or if you mean overall skills and not just one in particular, it would be Mats Johnsson's skills. He can hit, he can score, he can skate and he's good defensively.

Big win!

Let's put this one to garbage.

Toronto Québec Seattle Calgary

4-2 Toronto

Things were getting dirty in the 3rd period and I got my first fighting major in the VHL! I think I have two wins in two fights in the VHLM but it's a little tougher in the VHL, I lost that one.

My first career goal in the VHL!

Play by Play 1st period 0:01 of 1st period - Jasper Canmore wins face-off versus Elias Sobeck in neutral zone. 0:09 of 1st period - Shot by Wlodzimierz Zajaczkowski. 0:09 of 1st period - Shot Misses the Net. Way to go for my 1st VHL game in career! Too bad I missed the net.

I just modified it, it looks better now. @Bushito

+4 for Zajaczkowski

1. How did you become a member of the Wranglers? Were you drafted, or did you join us through a trade? Is this your First season in Calgary or you a long-time member? I got traded for a bunch of sticks and pucks! Idk why @Quik didn't like me. 2. If you are a long-time member of the wranglers, do we have any cool pre or post game rituals? If you are new what traditions or rituals would you like us to start in the locker room? Not a ritual in the locker room, but after team training, I install punching bags on the ice along the boards and in open ice then I skate, skate and hit them punching bags! Hope @Bushito will allow me to keep doing it. 3. Do You think Calgary will make the playoffs this season, looking more forward into mid-season season where do you’ll see your player? What type of roll will you be playing? Sure, Calgary has been one of the top team in the league the past few seasons, maybe we lost some veterans but I bring some new blood on the team and I believe we'll make the playoffs and win the cup! 4. Do you think you’ll be traded this season? Why or why not? Well, after being traded from Oslo to Halifax, then from Helsinki to Calgary, I hope not. I wanna stay in Calgary and I love canadian dirty oil! 5. Player you are most excited to be on the Wranglers with and why? Jasper Canmore cuz he's the only one I remember without looking at the roster. He's clearly the top player on the team and hopefully we'll lay on the same line. If not I'll play on the 2nd line and I'd be happy with it. 6. Time to get a little personal. What did you all do in your off season? I was counting the days before I could play for Helsinki, then just when the training camp opened I got traded to Calgary. I'm not happy that I got traded, but I think I'm now in a good place with a good manager, he knows what he's doing and Calgary is a winning team so I'm happy to be here! 7. Are you a leader on the ice? How would you describe your attitude or personality on ice in comparison to your locker room and home persona? Yes I'm a leader on ice I'm a hard working player and I score goals and hit everyone and I spend a lot of energy!

Thanks, but I don't like the habs.

+4 for the new Wrangler Zajaczkowski!

Helsinki will regret trading me, I'm gonna hit all of their players on ice and score goals against them.

Someone who would have been my teammate if I weren't traded... Mats Johnsson -- D -- Helsinki @SidTheKid87 you're up

1. Once again, your GM has made several moves this off-season; how do you feel they will impact the team's performance this coming season? The impact will be positive. Mats Johnsson is a great addition to our team for this season and Vesto Slipher, for the long term. With all last year's rookies getting better and those, like me, who were in the VHLM coming to the team we'll be one of the top teams in the league! 2. Which move made by the Titans has surprised you the most, and how do you feel about it? Signing Mats Johnsson. I didn't thought he would sign with us, maybe he likes our potential. I'm really happy to have him on the team but unfortunately he'll retire soon I think. 3. With the Sponsor's Shield currently going, which Brand are you most surprised by? What? I guess you're talking about the brand tournament, I haven't looked at it. 4. If you could purchase one real thing with your player salary, what would it be? A house because I need a new home, though I'm not sure if my salary is high enough. Considering my salary, a house in Costa Rica would be ok. 5. Which type of Christmas party do you prefer, and why: House, banquet hall, restaurant, other, none (bah humbug). Restaurant. With my imaginary girlfiend (she left Manti Te'o for me) and all my imaginary friends. We'd eat lots of stuff and drink lots of booze. I would dress as Santa and give presents. 6. With training camp opening up, what are your favourite ways to prepare for a season? Are you more of a lifter, a runner, or do you prefer flexibility training? As I said previously, I prefer walking than going to the arena or the gym by car, it helps for my cardio. I also have a unique way of training. After the team training, I install punching bags on the ice along the boards and in open ice and I skate, skate and hit them all!

What games? I didn't know about this tournament.

in!

1. We've got a pretty big influx of youth arriving in Helsinki next year, what's your best piece of advice for the new guys?  Well I'm not sure what advice to give to myself, yes I'm one of the new guy! Just have fun when your on the ice, play your game and don't try to do too much. 2. What's your favorite story about a teammate that took place over the course of the season? We were at a hotel in Saskatoon and Jesse Wilson @monkeywrench15 was stuck naked outside of the room and he had to go to the lobby to ask for a new key. 3. Who on the team deserves a pat on the back for their efforts this year? Julian Borwinn @Jubo07 because he's already over 500 TPE so he must have put a lof of efforts in training 4.The VHL and VHLM Finals are both currently 3-0; do you think it's possible we see a reverse sweep come back in either - if not, did you think the series would both be so dominated? Well I don't understand why Ottawa beat Yukon and considering that Saskatoon beat us (Halifax), I'm not surprised if they sweeps Ottawa. I have no idea about the VHL finals. 5. If you were to go into a death match fight, and can only bring one weapon or defensive item, what would it be? Running shoes. Because I'd run away! I like hitting everyone on the ice, but I don't like fighting to death. 6. What's your favourite show currently still in production?  Maybe Hawaii 5-0, it's the only one that I still watch. Idk why, tv has been really boring lately.

McAllister because he has more hits than anyone else!

1. The time is nigh (?), do you prefer gift shopping early, to get it out of the way, or are you more of a last-minute, procrastination kinda person? Honestly i'm always at last minute for shopping. I'm too busy working out to be in shape and thinking about hitting and scoring that i forget about xmas then I realise it's coming and I still haven't buy any present then I rush to the shopping center at the last minute lol 2. What are your thoughts on the Nylander contract; do you think a player should just sign (assuming it's a fair contract) and play, or do you side with the player holding out to earn as much as possible? I don't agree with holding out as long because while he's holding out he,s not playing so no hits and goals for him. I don't agree either with his choice to play in the NHL because the VHL is the better league. Look at @SidTheKid87, he's better now as an Helsinki Titans dman! 3. Who in the VHL would you get a gift for? Who would you give coal to? idk maybe I'd give a gift to @Sonnet because he's a great goalie and I'd give coal to any GM who didn't drafted me and their GM's player. 4. What is your favourite way to get to the rink: Car/SUV, Snowmobile, Public Transit, Walk something else? Definately walk. I like walking. Actually it takes me an hour to walk from my appartment in Dartmouth to the arena in downtown Halifax but I love it. 5. What's a song you've had on repeat lately? Thunderstruck by AC/DC. I listen to this song on repeat before every game I'm playing. This is how I get pumped to score goals and hit as many players as I can! 6. If you were sitting in the General Manager's chair, what kind of chair would it be? No chair. It would be a jacuzzi and I would have my laptop and a drink in the jacuzzi. because a jacuzzi is cooler than a chair!

yeah but it's not the result we expected.
