  2. Answered 40% of questions - I think that qualifies.
  3. Helsinki, Finland, 27.03.2024 Grimgor Ironhide is speechless and angry Grimgor has been asked to join a press conference to discuss his plans for the off-season, playoff performance and his opinion on cheese puffs. Hello, Mr. Ironhide, I am Jeremy Radclaw from Drawn Sports Magazine, we have heard that after Helsinki lost their playoff series against London, you decided to absolutely cut all ties with your fellow players and have not engaged with them since then - is it true? ... Grimgor, do you think your own performance was one of the main contributing factors for the loss? ... Grimgor Ironhide has been called out for not being able to play under real pressure, do you think you can ease that mindset and help fans reignite with next season in mind? ... Sir, you have finally answer something, what are your plans for the off-season, do you plan to head somewhere or just spend time in Helsinki while thinking about how to tackle next seasons aspirations? After a long pause, Grimgor stands up and angrily looks at every reporter wanting to ask his questions, waits a moment while the air starts to feel heavy and almost suffocating and speaks. Listen ya cupcake eatin' squigg, Grimgor does what he wants, if I want to go and pillage a village somewhere, I do that, if I want to eat a massive fruit pie every day, I do dat, if I want to go and sleep and cry in my sleep while waiting for a price to come and rescue me, I do that. Ya not da boss of me. I am not happy, terrible performance by me, I should play better so all can see my true potential. Waaaagh, I am so angry I could break you in half and eat you like a popsicle on a hot winter's day ya squigg hugger! All I want is to play some big games, get many points and be da best of da class in numbers. Dat is not hard to imagine, especially for a brainy guy like you! I have never felt this feeling - some called it pain of losing, I call it my biggest weakness, I feel so puny and weak, almost like I never existed. It is sad but it also fills me with unimaginable rage to go and make sure everyone knows how big and strong Grimgor Ironhide really is. WAAAGH! Sir, before you leave, I have one more intricate question, journalist asks Grimgor as he slowly turns to them with a strong and fierce smile on their face, as if he was insulted by the weakest gobbo of Skarsniks raiding party. Do you sir know how to bake a Latvian cake? Grimgor's smile suddenly turns from having a deep and horrifying visage to a warm, welcoming, almost your had-grandmother type of a smile, warm, likable but still worrisome. "Yes, I have my recepies in my trunk, in ma room. I get it to ya when I see ya next time. Finally someone is asking real questions. It is very tough to get the dough flour to work as you don't have any dragon blood available for quick yeast activation. No matter what, be smart, get quality non powder milk." WAAAAGH!
  4. D.C. DRAGONS PRESS CONFERENCE Finals are here, how do we fare? Answer 3 for 1 TPE, Answer 6 for 2 1. GM Frostbeard recently said that D.C. Dragons being an underrated team going into playoffs took away a lot of pressure from our players - your thoughts about that? 2. What are your thoughts about our team cohesion going into playoffs and now after having won our conference? 3. Mark Calaway has been incredibly important piece for D.C. Dragons going into playoffs, what are your thoughts on his performance? 4. What are your thoughts on your own performance? 5. We are going to face London in the finals - how do you feel about that matchup? 6. Jason is heading into his last few games in VHL due to retiring at the end of playoffs, what would be your message to him about his time with Dragons?
  5. 1. European Conference is tight, where are we going to end up in the Standings at the end of the season? WAAGH, If we not at da top, Grimgor will be mad! We da team to beat especially if da team has Ironhide on it, da great green menace! 2. How many games would you want to let line changes ride before changing again? 6 games is all ya need! If ya wait longer, everything goes boom! 3. Are you or would you be a trade to get your team or a draft to get your team kind of GM? Draft is da way, then you can get people that want to be on da team, if ya trade, you not know what you get! 4. Can you skate? If so, when did you learn and when was the last time? If no, what's stopping you? Waaagh, what do ya mean? I am a hockey player for Helsinki Titans, of course I can skate! I am da best on them all! 5. Do you have cable? Why or why not? What is dat? Is dat da box with pictures in them? If so, no, I only watch things in my little palm thing. 6. Do you believe in ghosts or the supernatural? Ghosts are real, magic is real, dragons are real but somehow none of ya puny little things care about that!
  6. Howdy! A little late for my Theme Week submition as I do try to get them in nice and early however here we are, finally getting to it. When thinking about All-Star teams and all-star selections and so forth, I remember our own All-star games that (I might be imagining this) were run by Beaviss. They were an experience that I still think back to, amazing ideas, if only there was a comentating done of real quality, we could think to bring it back! With that in mind, I looked back at my teams that I have managed and have decided to create an all-star team from Houston Bulls, Malmo Nighthawks, Bratislava Watchmen and D.C. Dragons. To limit myself, I have decided to choose 2 players from Houston Bulls, 2 players from Malmo Nighthawks, 1 player from Bratislava Watchmen and 1 player from D.C. Dragons. After all, some of those older players do deserve a recognition. The All-star squad looks like this: Forwards: Ray Sheilds @Zetterberg () - Erik Killinger @Peace () - Jason @Jason kranz () Defencemen: Khalabib Stiopic @SweetMike666 () - Condor Adrienne @OrbitingDeath () Goalie: Orion D.H. Chiester Jr. @Donno100 () And now a bit why specifically these players were selected. Ray Sheilds - Well, those who remember the time when I was GM of Malmo Nighthawks will also remember the time when fairly unknown player from Seattle was acquired and added to Malmo Nighthawks roster. Sheilds became a star in Malmo, S83 Funk winner, one of the reasons why we won Continental cup in S75 - 28 points in 19 games played - he was our own hidden gem. I still believe acquiring Sheilds might have been my best move as a GM in all the seasons I have been at this role. A stud who managed to be well over PPG in every season with Nighthawks. Erik Killinger - A player that I remember picking 1st Overall in S70 draft, my last with Houston Bulls. There were many forwards that I could name but I don't think there was anyone more deserving this recognition as I don't think I have had a player join a team and be that dominant immediately ever before. His 124 point season was outshined by many players hitting that 120 point mark and some going well beyond however I still believe that S70 Houston squad was only that good because of S70 draft that brought in a superstar forward in Killinger. Also, Peace was a stellar guy in our locker room and I still consider him to be a good guy, geniune and true to his word. Jason - the only active player from this all-star squad. Jason has found D.C. to be his home, he has been at the core of our recent success and has become a player I know as a GM I can rely on every game. For me, it was a huge surprise as I think it was for Jason to have such a glow up in S90. Two individual awards, always team first and a person who deserves all the possible praise. A prolific goalscorer, one of the best I have ever had a chance to GM. Let's hope he can help us all to seal the deal this season with Dragons in playoffs. Cheers Jason! Khalabib Stiopic - a name I never thought I would mention but he was our true first star in my time with Houston. He has all the team would like - active, interested, worked to make him player great but sadly after VHLM career was over went inactive. A player that for a reason was our playoff MVP when Houston won our S68 cup! Looking back at it - I do think I have had a pleasure having multiple great defencemen in VHLM under my management - Hugh Jass, Khalabib Stiopic, Frederik Elemebeck and many more, that said none of them had such an impact on any of our teams on ice as Stiopic did in S68. Condor Adrienne - a hall of fame player, the best defencemen of his age, an unstoppable force with Malmo in his second half of the career. I have had many amazing members under my management but only few of them really stand even close to OrbitingDeath and his player legacy. For us in Malmo, Condor was a player I know many looked up to, he was our star and the player that we knew we could count on to do great even if he himself didn't believe that too much. The best player I have ever had a chance to GM. Orion D.H. Chiester Jr. - once again, so many great goaltenders I have managed but Orion is the one who has an award named after them. A player I knew was at the core of our competitiveness with Beardislava, Orion was a player who you could look to when other parts of the team were not working, when you knew that the team was slacking. A 3 time award winner in his career, probably the most important name in Bratislava Watchmen VHLE history. A player I am happy to have had a chance to get and work with them to create a legacy that will be tough to beat. I think that is it, my All-star team!

  12. GM John Frostbeard steps up to the podium near the DC Dragons home arena on a very cold winter's morning with a megaphone and a glass of Viking brandy"I am cold and I am angry, yet here we are, announcing those who will be leading our squad on ice for S92! I am incredibly proud of the team we have managed to assemble here in D.C. It has been a great time to see our players grow, mature and become true leaders. Now lets lead ourselves to playoffs and then to the finish line - we can do it, we are meant to do it!"Here are the Captains for S92 D.C. DragonsAssistant captain and a player entering his last season, a centreman who became an anchor of our offensive capabilities, became a dominant player and brought unequalled leadership to our locker room - Jason @Jason kranz Assistant captain and a leader who has kept developing and becoming our one true defensive juggernaut, an individual who is a true D.C. Dragon, loyalty towards his team and loyalty towards his teammates is what makes him a real leader - Ben Laas @dustywilson22 Captain and an individual that jumpstarted our rebuild, he became the star player that D.C. Dragons needed, our S88 1st Overall pick, master of offence on the blueline, the one true king and an individual who is ready to get that Continental cup - Mark Calaway @Beketov Congratulations to our Captaincy squad - lets get the job done!
  13. Waaaagh! Grimgor, da great green menace, da bit boss approves of dis! On another note, really good job - one of the most underrated villains in Star Trek universe - great job there @MSouthworth

  18. D.C. DRAGONS PRESS CONFERENCE New season, another playoff push? Answer 3 for 1 TPE, Answer 6 for 2 1. GM Frostbeard recently said that he believes D.C. Dragons have the roster to contend for the 1st place in NA, what are you thoughts about that? 2. Team Captain VLG was recently seen discussing future plans with tabloid magazine journalists - as your teammate, has he told anyone about his future plans? 3. D.C. Dragons recently made a trade and acquired a starter goaltender from Riga, do you think that will help our team finally be considered true contenders? 4. Mark Calaway is strongly considered to be one of the best defencemen going into S93, how influential will he be for D.C Dragons this season? 5. What are your individual expectations going into S93? 6. Recently Ben Laas in an off-season press conference said that the hidden jem going into S93 for D.C. Dragons is Keegan Gamble, do you agree with that statement?
  19. Howdy Probably a bit of a chill Media Spot this time. Few things to talk about - firstly Grimgor, his time in VHLE, expectations for season with Helsinki, then about D.C. Dragons, the trade that brought in Henry Tucker Jr and my place in VHL now and going forward. Firstly, about Grimgor - really liking the character, love that fact that I can roleplay a character and I through that I don't feel bad about sometimes being an arse. That said, I know no one here actually would take any thrash talk seriously. I do have some serious expectations from this season, that also will influence my career in Helsinki - I am expecting 1st line time, if I do get that even in my first season, there is a chance in resigning after my rookie contract is over. I am also expecting to become a true hired gun with Grimgor at some point as I have always wanted to have FA experience. Secondly, about D.C. Dragons. I feel like we are in a really good spot going into S93. Honestly, I really feel strong about our players, roster, sure, don't know what S93 will bring in terms of chemistry on ice but we can for sure work with that and the goal is to get to playoffs, prove that D.C. squad has what it takes to win some serious playoff games. I do have to say, I did rush the rebuild a bit too quickly but then again, have had lots of fun with our team, have lovely on the team so that is incredibly huge thing. The biggest gap in our roster of course was our missing goaltender and having a chance to acquire and resign Henry Tucker Jr. was absolutely massive. Now we have a true starter for 2 seasons. I am incredibly excited to see ourselves on ice. I know, there probably will be a ton of people doubting D.C. but I have full faith in our team. Thirdly, the more I think about it, the more I understand that Grimgor might be my last player in VHL. At least for a while. This is my 4th one and I feel I am getting to a nice point where I can go and rest for few seasons. Will that include me stepping from D.C. Dragons GM position? I am not yet sure, I do love D.C. Dragons, I love the team and people there but will just need to wait and see how it goes. I am looking forward to seeing that S100 for VHL, for sure it is going to be absolutely magical. I do like number 104, that might be a season to return? Well, whatever happens, we shall see. I am still fully commited to see my player finish a strong career and still do my duties to my full capacity in D.C. I am a little bit excited about recruitment drive for VHL, always happy to help new people in the VHL, hopefully quite a few will stick around and have fun with all of us! Well, in any case, that is it - a small media spot to talk about what matters to me right now.
