1. At this point of the season, what has been the highlight for the Vancouver Wolves to date? building a core for the future. Great work by our GM here. 2. Three games remaining as I write this press conference so what expectation or any goals do you have remaining for these three games? (Team or player) 11 more hits to pass my career high! Maybe a few more goals, taken a big fall there from 23 last season to just 10. 3. Do you think we can still catch Calgary Wranglers for first in the conference with the three games remaining? Does it matter if we finish first? Anything is possible but odds are we do not catch them. 4. Looking ahead to the first round of the play-offs, who would you like to meet in the first round of the play-offs? Why? DC or LA. Lower scoring clubs for us to skate by in round one…. I hope! 5. Let’s assume we get through the conference of death and make it to the Continental Cup Finals, who would you like to meet in the finals? Why? my old club Moscow. I think Warsaw overperformed this season and won’t make the finals. 6. Fill in the blank: Vancouver Wolves will be Continental Champions if we score more goals then our opponent lol, sorry for the captain obvious response.

1- yes as we have the pieces to get the job done and make a really good case for winning the cup. 2- Moving a 2nd round pick to upgrade a depth position. 3- Helsinki has been a mess since Jubo left so I have to side with any move made is a loss for Helsinki. Blunt but honest. 4- any time you can move a disgruntled member for something promising is a win in my book. 5- we’re in the playoffs, doesn’t matter who we face round 1. You eventually have to go through the best of the rest. 6- the answer is 7.5

1. We are 1st in the league, and have clinched the EU Conference. It looks as if we are going to end with one of the more dominant seasons we've had with this generation of players. How surprised are you with this outcome, after all the off-season changes? I am surprised as we have had in my opinion better rosters the last 2 seasons. Really great work by our GM and everyone staying active to get their players in great form. 2. We've have some pretty huge statlines on the team. Papa is having a career year. Seabasstard has excelled in his role as 1C, and Hard Markinson is having a career year as well. Do you think the Menace will have the MVP winner, or do you think there hasn't been one player that has stood out enough to be deemed more valuable to their team than another squad? Papa takes the MVP. Stellar numbers to say the least. 3. How do you feel your player has played this season? very very well. Career year in every way you look at it. 4. We will be playing against the winner of the wildcard in the first round, which will likely be Riga vs Davos. What team do you think will win that matchup? Riga should have a fairly easy time winning that series. 5. I've had an olive oil stain on my pants that I can't get rid of.. What is the worst food stain you've had to endure, and do you throw out clothes if the stain can't get out or do you just battle through? not food but I got a splash of bleach on a nice shirt, stupid of me to be wearing it at the time. No getting that out. 6. How is everyone enjoying their summer? I feel like our team is kinda going through a weird phase where everyone is on trips lol. busy for sure. But I like it that way.

Happy Birthday! VHL Graphic for this week https://vhlforum.com/topic/124283-power/#comment-938412

Happy 15th birthday VHL

1. New season incoming! How many games until your player gets a goal? I say by game 3 Wattson pots a goal this season 2. What other Menace player is your player closest to off the ice? His defensive idol Hard Markinson. Trying to learn everything from him. 3. What is your biggest lock for Predictions this year? DC winning the north american conference 4. Who did you pick first in your VHFL Draft? If you didn't participate, why not? Did not participate. I dont have the time to keep checking the site so Id probably miss a pick and make people upset in the group. 5. Is there a game marked on the calendar you are looking forward to the most this season? Every game against Duncan Idaho. We miss him but we wont go easy. 6. Last weekend I visited Hamilton, Ont. What's the worst city you've ever been to? Helsinki after Jubo left. Nothing good happening over there since then lol.

1. Now that a week has passed, how are we feeling about the upcoming season? It will be another fun season is Moscow that is to say the least. We have re-tooled a bit but we are looking strong again. 2. One of the biggest moves of the off-season saw Duncan Idaho shipped to DC. Idaho will go down as one of the best Menace players of all-time, and certainly the most statistically impressive player in franchise history. What are your favorite memories of this player? His calmness and leadership during the deep playoff runs. Idaho was robbed of a cup here. 3. Tomas Sogaard and Jason Argos are set to make their VHL debuts this season. Moscow GM Euron Leonidas has been quite impressive in finding exceptional talent. Which of these two prospects excite you, and what part of their game are you looking forward to watching? Both are exciting to watch as they have climbed up to the VHL. This is the type of scouting that keeps Moscow on top. 4. Another addition to the team was defenseman Flynn Remy. @jhatty8 was a steal in the 2nd round by Helsinki in S80, but has become a very reliable defenseman. How did you welcome Remy into Moscow, and/or what impact do you think he will have on the team? Power went to a 1 on 1 lunch with Remy and the two got to know eachother very well. It is evident his impact will be noticed from game 1. 5. I think the elephant in the room is apparent. We've lost four times in a row in the finals. We had the best player in the league, and had to move him. Has the window closed, or is this team still capable of winning a championship? We are still capable but have to expect it to be more of a grind type of season. You never know when things just click or not. 6. How have things been for you personally? Getting excited for summer? Any plans? Summer is underway and it has been a good one so far. Always making time for outdoor activities.

1. A week later, and we are in the Finals. What makes this one feel different than the last 3 three finals appearances? There is a stronger belief in the club. We trust our offence, defense and goalie all the same. 2. If the playoffs ended today, who do you think would be deemed most valuable Menace player? Emeritus. Close 2nd would be Hlozek. Strong stats for both to make a case. 3. What would you say is the biggest X-Factor for the Moscow Menace in this Finals series? Would have to be the goaltending. Seattle also has great goaltending but Emeritus hs another level he has yet to bring out. 4. What would you say is the biggest X-Factor for the Seattle Bears in this Finals series? The same answer, goaltending. This will be a goalie battle but I dont think Seattle prevails. 5. What does your player need to do, to be effective and help Moscow win? Focus on stopping dangerous scoring positions. Stop plays before they can even start. 6. I just planted my veggies today in my garden.. Do you do any gardening? I do not but someday I would like to do that.

1. Moscow looks to lock up first in the EU Conference. Confidence level for playoffs? confidence level is very high for us to reach the final. I think if Seattle makes the final we will have a very close matchup. 2. What team do you think we match up against the best in the EU? Riga. Great goal scoring and strong defensive game on both clubs. 3. What team do you think will come out of the NA Conference? It is for sure to be Seattle. They have the least goals against and a big lead in goals for of 42. Only two teams are a positive goal differential. 4. Which Menace player do you think will be the stud of the Playoffs? Its got to be Duncan Idaho who is soon to be a 50 goal scorer for the 4th season in a row. 5. Have you ever lost power in your house, and for how long? How did you manage? Never for more than a few hours. As long as its not cold out its really not a big deal for me. 6. How has your May Long-Weekend been going? it has been alright. Weather has been just ok. Always nice to have any extra time off no matter what.

1. We have stood strong in the standings. Do you think we can stay first in the league for the remainder of the year? Will be a tight race but we can do it for sure. Moscow is going all the way. 2. We've seen our big players play big, but what is an underrated x-factor for the Menace's success? The fun the team has off the ice keeps us loose in tough situations on the ice. 3. Preobrazhensky with 9 GWG or Markinson with a 3% Shooting percentage... What's more surprising? 3% shooting is just bad luck. Something has got to give. 4. Moscow has 40 wins after 51 GP. How many wins do we finish with? 55 wins 5. After falling to the Bears 6-2, are they the biggest threat to this year's cup run? yes for sure. It looked that way before the season even started. 6. I had the heartbreak of seeing my team lose yet another game seven.. How have the Stanley Cup Playoffs went for you? fun to watch for sure. I am watching right now as I write this.

Review: First of all, thank you! This looks really great, I swear no bias at all. I really like the two render look you did here and the colors are working well together. I think the only missing piece is the logo but it doesnt take anything away from the graphic. The text choice works great and is easy to read for both the name and team name. Thank you again for this awesome graphic of Power. Much respect, I will have to add this to my forum sig. 9/10!!!

1. Do you need a new signature? What render/colour scheme you prefer? owen power done in moscow colors 2. The team has been red hot to start the season, what can we attribute this to? attention to detail on the new builds and getting good lines rolling 3. Duncan Idaho looks to take on even more Menace All-Time Records, as he's about a season or so away from the Assists lead. Do you think his All-Time Menace records can be broken? every record can be broken with the right set of circumstances 4. This season has been a redemption year for Harkat Mulds. With Mulds, Hlozek and Massif all excelling in their change of scenery, who has stood out the most to you? Massif’s 12 goals is impressive. But all three have been great. 5. Papa has awoken. Is Emeritus taken the step into the elite goaltending category we all expected him to be? Will this push the Menace past the 2nd place mark they've hit three years in a row? I think its more of the builds of the players resulting in less scoring on high rated goalies. But this makes a lot more sense with how very good his build is, his stats should benefit greatly. 6. I spent $150 on Valorant skins earlier this week.. What's the dumbest purchase you've ever made? a signed hockey jersey for a player that was later traded away from the team I follow.

1. New season, new feel. How are you feeling going into the new season? Great and looking forward to my new build performing well. 2. Did you Participate in VHFL? How's your team look? I did not but I wish everyone luck who did take part this season. 3. Did you remember to do your predictions? Which is your lock of the year prediction? Seattle to win the east conference 4. How do you think your build with the new attribute system turned out - we got a preview with pre-season and the first few sims of the season! It looks good so we will see how it does in the sim engine. 5. Off-season was super long... was it too long of a break, or was it well needed? It was long but thats fine, we can all use a little break from this stuff. 6. NHL Playoffs starting soon; Stanley Cup Prediction? Florida vs Calgary final

1. This is one long ass offseason, what have you been doing in order to keep busy lately? watching NHL hockey and getting excited to watch playoffs 2. Training Camp is open, what aspect of your game have you been working on the most in practice? defence and puck handling with more scoring touch 3. How do you feel about being back on the ice for the first time since last season, is there any rust to shake off? There is no rust as I have been practicing at the local rink as much as I can 4. What do you see this team being able to accomplish this year? What are the expectations? expect us to make a fight again all the way to the finals 5. Where do you see yourself fitting in the lineup this year? first pairing dman if all goes well and hope we get off to a hot start 6. What are you own individual expectations for your player? more points and a better + this season. Maybe even some more powerplay points.

Reviewing. Great job on this graphic. The player render you chose is nice and clean. The player jersey swap and logo swap are really well done and I like what you did with the background. I like the city image in the background shape as well. The text you chose is simple but works well with the graphic overall. Cool to see something that is not a standard shape. Well done and good luck to Florida Man in Helsinki. Scoring a 9/10.

1. Another Finals exit; how do we regroup and get ready for next season? keep personally improving and as a team getting line chemistry going as soon as possible. 2. We have seen both Moreau and Atreides traded this off-season. Any final words before they left Moscow? good luck with your future in the VHL. It was a pleasure. 3. We are welcoming in nee players to the team this season. Which player are you looking forward to playing with? Jan Hlozek who I am sure will be on a pairing with me at some point. 4. This is an extended off-season. Are you enjoying the break, or are you eager for the season to start back up? eager to get the new season going 5. World Cup is on. Is your player participating? Are you following the coverage at all? i dont think I am in it and I wont be following it this time. Too busy right now. 6. How do you feel about your players new re-rolled attributes? Have you nailed down the build you want or are you still playing with thenumbers? yes I got my build set and am excited to see how it works out

1. We did it again! We are on to the Conference Finals; How do you think we stack up against Riga? No big deal, we have all the momentum! 2. Vancouver has already swept LA, how would we do if we did make the finals? Third times the charm, amirite? Scary team no doubt but we have the offense, defense and goaltending to get the job done. 3. How has your player been doing in the playoffs? Are you happy with their play? Far better than the season which is a good sign for Wattson’s future success. 4. Playoff beard or no playoff beard? How is your's looking? Its getting pretty healthy. If I laid down inna park a bird might move in. 5. What song are you playing in the LR before the game to get the boys fired up? Jock Jams! 6. I'm leaving for the Bahamas for a week onFriday... Where's your next vacation going to be? Hopefully somewhere warm and relaxing. I dont have anything planned right now.
