Birdman

Prague is currently sitting in 5th place with a log jam of teams (London 72pts, Warsaw 68pts, Prague 67pts & Helsinki 63pts). How do you think things shake out over the over the final 18 games? I think this is our opportunity to make moves. We’ve been playing down to our opponents level recently, but if we can overcome that and play our brand of hockey then I think we can definitely kiss London and Warsaw goodbye. Follow up question… How do you think your play will help Prague get there? Do what needs to get done. Get down in the corners and make the scrappy plays to get the puck where it needs to go. What type of pass do you like to make the most; Sauce, Direct or Indirect? Being able to use the boards as a resource rather than a hinderance is always a great feeling especially when you sneak a pass right around an opposing player. What is your favorite celly you’ve done this season? The good old duck hunt is always great. Usually spend around 5 minutes in the box after though. What gear do you prefer, CCM, Bauer, True, Warrior or other? Also are you endorsed by them? I’ve always been a Bauer man. Their skates have just fit me like a glove. However, I’ve been experimenting with some warrior sticks recently and I’m really liking them. When the season ends and Prague wins the cup, what would your ideal day be when you have it for 24 hours? Just to be able to bring that thing back home and spend some time with my family. That’ll mean more to me then one more party I won’t remember.

1.) Whats your plans for Valentines day (if you have any ofcourse)? A nice sushi date with the gf as is tradition for us. 2.) What is your favourite chocolate? I’ve always been a sucker for some white chocolate for my whole life. 3.) If you had a boat, what would you name it? I think I’m gonna have to go with Artemis for this one. 4.) How do you think we've been doing recently? Could be better, could be worse. We’re on a good trajectory and I like what we can do. We just need to make a few adjustments to our game plan and we’ll be right there with the best of them. 5.) What do you think would break the internet? Obvious one would be aliens, but I’m going with a manned landing on mars. Internet would explode in an instant. 6.) Who is your favourite teammate this season? Everyone’s great honestly. The whole team has made it so much easier to make a transition into the league and it’s been a great time.

1.) What is your all time favourite song? Currently I have to go with trials by star set for sure. 2.) Is there a show you’re watching? The Legend of Vox Machina is amazing and everyone needs to watch it! 3.) Who is your favourite athlete of all time? Coming out of left field with this one but Matt Emmons. One of the best shooters of all time that has overcome so much to do what he’s done. 4.) What is your go-to sandwich recipe Ham, egg, cheese, toasted bread. 5.) Is your player performing adequately? Better than I expected by quite a margin. Really happy with how much I’ve been able to contribute to the offense recently. 6.) What is your overall goal with this player? Accountability everywhere on the ice. I’m not gonna sacrifice defensive screw ups to facilitate offensive production.

1. What is your go-to meal? Surprisingly turkey burgers have been really growing on me recently. 2. Do you like coffee or tea? If so, what is your go to caffeine recipe? Generally neither but I can take some tea every once in a while. 3. What are your projections for your own player this season? Just try to make a splash this season I guess. Getting Settled is just gonna take a while and hopefully I can get some good work done for the team. 4. What does your team look like for VHFL? If you don't have one, who do you think are going to explode this season on prague? Yes. Cup incoming for sure. 5. Who do you think will become the Prague captain this season? I’m a bit late this season but we have lots of experienced guys on the team that would all suite the role very well. 6. Is there anything we can do, as Prague staff, for you? Donuts and nap time would be highly appreciated by all involved.

1. Since it's the offseason and it's the time to get to know eachother... Tell us one cool fact about you? I shoot competitively in my free time is one that turns some heads usually. 2. Who is your favourite current NHL player? Roman Josi for sure, the fact that he didn't get an all star nod is an attrocity 3. What is your favourite international cuisine? I don't get it often but I will die for some good Cuban cuisine. 4. What are your plans for the off-season? Mostly training and going back home to spend some time with the folks. 5. Is there anyone we should be scouting in the VHLM? Milan Dvorak looks like a solid pick if he slips down a little bit. 6. Who is your biggest distraction in the off-season? Pesky girlfriend always taking up my time smh my head

Count me in

You got this Donny!! Never give up on that grind brother. May we have a gloriously violent fistfight when we meet in the VHL! Also shout out to @FrostBeard from me too because he an awesome guy and I couldn't have possibly asked for a better GM.

1. Since we dropped out due to a loss to Moscow, who do you think performed the strongest? Gotta give the shout out to Dom. He played his guts out for us and left it all out on the ice. There's nothing more that you could possibly ask of a veteran like that. 2. Do you like pizza? If so, whats your go-to order? If not, what is your favourite quick order-in dinner? The meats all day every day. If it has protein then I want it on there. 3. What do you plan on getting done in the offseason? A vacation or off-season training? Training for sure. I go stir crazy if I can't get some good work outs in on a regular basis. 4. Which VHLE player looks the most promising to you? There's this one guy I saw one time. I think he plays for the Watchmen. If I remember correctly he should be coming up this year. Hmmmm... 5. Who is your best friend in the league and what is one nice thing you could say about them? Ever since the M me and Donny Carter @TheNeonShaman have been inseparable every chance we get around the league to hang out. He's always been a great guy that has helped push me to the limit. 6. How are you doing during the Covid-19 Pandemic? Luckily I'm blessed to have a great group of people surrounding me that support me and have helped me stay at my best while I'm often stuck in.

1. Are you suitably prepared for the playoffs? As ready as I’ll ever be but I have a good feeling. 2. Which teammate do you think will be crucial to the playoff campaign? It’s such a fickle sport that to say that any player is more crucial than any other is blasphemy. 3. How gnarly of a playoff beard can you grow? Sadly my jeans are inferior and peach fuzz will forever be my limit. 4. What is your standard order of wings? Boneless and with lots of ranch no matter how much crap I get for it. 5. What is something we don't know about you yet? I’m a huge rifle shooter who, in another life could’ve pursued that over hockey. 6. Do you have any personal goals for the playoffs? Support the team is always the mission, no matter the circumstances.

1. With recent announcement of GM Frostbeard looking for an AGM, what do you think is the most important thing an AGM should know before taking the job? Consistency is key. A little bit every week is gonna go way farther in the long run than a few huge spurts. 2. GM Frostbeard recently created a My Space account to keep up with the current trends. How do you feel about your GM becoming more involved with youngsters? The youngins are definitely important. I just hope he can stay fleek enough to hang with em. 3. If it would be up to you to give any of our players an MVP prize - who would it be and why? Cadmael has been lights out this entire season and his work ethic has been a real inspiration to the whole team. 4. Orion D H Chiester IX and John Baard had a fallout after the last game against Iron Pigeons and John Baard hoped that GM Frostbeard would bench him for the playoffs. Are these fake news or there is some validity there? Benching is a little strong but 20 dollars is 20 dollars. 5. What is going to be our key to make the playoffs and win games against the toughest teams in VHLE? Defensive responsibility. We can keep up with these guys on offense but we have to prevent them from running amuck in our own zone to facilitate that. 6. What would be your perfect 1st Playoff game meal either to watch or plan? I've always been a big pasta fan to be honest. My go to has to be some chicken Parmesan.

1. With so many teams buying in quality players, do you think the fact that we only made 1 trade this season is going to hurt us? We have a strong core with the ability to go deep in the playoffs as it is. Shoring up our defensive end was all we really needed to make that last step. 2. GM Frostbeard was caught using a burner account on Twitter to trash talk other VHLE team - do you think the league should punish him for this action? If they punish him then they would need to punish the whole league as far as I'm concerned. 3. Nils Godlander just hit 40 goals in the season with quite a few games left, do you think there is a chance he gets to 50? He's got it in the bag if you ask me. He just has an insane eye for where to put the puck at the right time. He never takes shots that have a low chance of scoring. 4. Bratislava fans went on a rampage due to our team losing in a devastating fashion against Rome Gladiators, some of them were detained by police. How should the team management respond to that matter? Definitely pay their bails and buy them a few drinks. 5. How do you feel about the trade in which our team acquired defenceman Shaggy Tipton? I've heard good things about him and I'm excited to have him contribute to our team. 6. Do you feel that your player is contributing enough and is helping our team to excel? I'm still top ten in goals, points, and assists so I am definitely happy.

Happy Birthdaayyyy!!!

1. There was a secret party with only team members invited and some extra special guests - what can you tell us about the party, what happened there? burp I know not of what you speak passes out 2. GM Frostbeard has recently come up in some nasty rumours that he is planning to relocate the team to his home town of Nereta - has he ever talked about that as an option with the roster? If it means more moonshine then I'm all for it. But to be honest these fans really make our team special and it would be hard to let them down like that. 3. Austin Towbaker has been a truly solid option as our 2nd line scoring forward, what do you think makes him successful at that very important role? He can exploit mismatches. Having someone of his caliber on the second line really allows him to take advantage of different match ups and punish the other team. 4. Slovakian PM has been in though waters lately for saying that both Slovak Extraliga and VHLE are equally important to their hockey culture and that he supports teams in both leagues - do you think it is something you can do when both leagues are competing for viewership and fans? Putting biscuits in baskets puts butts in seats and whoever can do that better is gonna be better off for it. 5. Cadmael recently launched a cosmetics line called - "Cadmael's Special Creams and Juices" - do you believe it is a clever or really disturbing way how to call your cosmetics line meant only for male audience? I dunno man. All I can say is that since I've started using it, my skin has never been the same. 6. Our team's Penalty Kill has been absolutely terrible, how do you think we could improve that and become a more stable team on defence? More depth would be great. Those long shifts on the PK really get you gassed and it takes awhile to recover. Being able to roll our lines better would really help us be more solid overall.

Get me in here

1. How do you feel about Bratislava team being 1st in the VHLE? Do you think it is luck or really the strength of our roster? We definitely deserve to be where we are for sure. We have a very strong team with a solid core that can contribute all the way down the depth chart. 2. GM Frostbeard has been called "A bully who hates everyone but his own team" by media all over Europe - as a member of Watchmen, do you think that is an accurate way how to describe your GM? I dunno. He seems fine to me. Keeps talking bout some bees or somethin weird tho and he's always smellin like honey. 3. Orion D H Chiester IX has been seen walking around Bratislava with a shirt that says "You are all like a swiss cheese but me, I am a true cheddar beast!" Not sure what to really say but - your thoughts? I'm more of a nice gouda man myself but I can respect the vibe. 4. There have been rumours circulating around that Cadmael and Will have had a bet on who is gonna fight against Rome Gladiators player first - is that bet true or is it just a straight up lie? There is some money on me and I don't plan on letting any of my team mates down. 5. Viking Brandy from Sweden has finally agreed to sponsor our team after lengthy 1 week in person discussions. GM Frostbeard and team captain John Baard came back from Malmo looking like they had consumed all of the Viking Brandy stock - do you think that is a good way how to gain sponsors for the team? hiccup seems just fine to me! 6. Nils Godlander is just 3 goals away from being the best goalscorer in VHLE, do you think that Nils has what it take to win over that spot? That man is a beast for sure. He can easily make a goalie sweat from our own blue line.
