When I was 13 all I remember was dedicating my life to playing Black Ops 2 and getting diamond shotguns instead of working on my grades that were plummeting into the ground

yes

1) It's that exciting time of the off-season; Drafts! What are you most looking forward to (VHL expansion draft, VHL draft or VHLM draft) VHL Draft for sure, seeing the future of the Titans is always an exciting time! 2) Free agency opens Thursday this week, do you see Helsinki signing anyone? As stated previously, loading up for a playoff push with pieces that we were lacking in the year before are all I can hope for. 3) The Titans acquired goalie Samuel Ross on the weekend. How did you welcome him to the city? The boys took him out on a night in the city of Helsinki, though how much I can disclose that happened is gonna have to be limited ? 4) Take a wild guess, which expansion team will have the best record this coming season? (Chicago, London, LA, Warsaw) London looks like it has the pieces it needs to start a strong franchise. 5) Who comes back from the off-season to training camp with the best tan? We're all living in Scandinavia, nobody has a tan up here. 6) You're challenged to a table top game on the flight to the next away game; which do you choose? I love me a few games of Poker, but I wouldn't pass up Checkers either

1) Our off-season started earlier than we were hoping, what have you done with the extra time off? Collecting on what I wanted to do for this final year of Hafkey's career. I'm gonna prepare him for the best year of his career and make sure he brings home one last Cup for Helsinki. 2) Protection lists are the hot topic with the playoffs ending this week. Do you think the expansion teams will have enough to pick from to ice a competitive team? Hopefully they will, but if not, they're basically guaranteed a good player to build around. 3) With Johnson retiring do you feel a proven starting goalie is what we need most for S73? Absolutely, if we want to be competitive for this final year for a lot of players, we should have every asset we need to compete. 4) What is the last movie you watched? The Last Samurai I believe 5) Do you plan to watch the 24 team play-in/playoff when the NHL resumes? Absolutely, seeing all these teams compete for the Cup is unheard of in the modern era. 6) Are you a member of any other sim league such as EFL or SBA? Nope

1) One goal games coming back to haunt us again in round 1. Do we pull off the comeback in the series? No, we lost 2) What are you most looking forward to in the off-season? What pieces we're able to pull together for Hafkey's last season. 3) Do you have a personal goal for S73? Win the cup, always 4) If you weren't on Helsinki, which Titan would you never want to meetup with in a fight? Every player here has a reason and a drive to play like they do. They could all hold their ground in a fight 5) What is your to go hot beverage? Coffee 6) What is/was your best subject in school? Science & History

What a Kyle thing to say

1) It looks like we are a lock for the post season! Who are you hoping to meet in round 1? (Moscow or Davos) I would've much rather preferred Davos, but Moscow will be a good series as well. 2) Have you met a seasonal goal in season 72? I have, I had a much better season this year compared to last, and we made the playoffs again which is always a plus. 3) Which retiring player will you personally miss the most in S73? (Rodriguez, Strong, Fontenette, Johnson) Fontentte for sure, he's been here ever since I got traded to Helsinki, and he's been an amazing player and friend to the locker room. It will be quite different without him sending crazy passes up the ice for easy goals. 4) If you were an expansion GM which positional need would you aim to fill first? Defense for sure, because you know what they say, "defense wins championships." 5) Are you currently into any mobile games? I don't fancy myself as much of a mobile game player, I play more on consoles or PC but I'll play a hockey GM mobile game here and there perhaps. 6) If you could have a plane ticket to go anywhere in the world, where would you go? Stockholm, Sweden, easily. I've wanted to see Stockholm for years now, and I want to eventually move there at some point in my life.

1) 50 games in, what has been your season highlight? My highlight will be lifting the Cup with the boys at seasons end, but for now I'd say just the turnaround I've had from last season has been good in itself. 2) Which expansion logo do you most enjoy? (LA, Chicago, London or Warsaw) There's something simplistic and brilliant about the LA one. I definitely like that one. 3) Are you hopeful to be on the Titans expansion protection list? Here's hoping I am 4) What area of our game do we need to improve on through the final stretch of the season? Closing out games, too many we've lost have been 1-2 goal games. If we can get that extra goal or two in a game we'd be in a remarkable spot. 5) If you could have any athletes signature who would it be? I would say Nathan MacKinnon, but I already got his ?. Past him, maybe Mikko Rantanen or Cale Makar. 6) Its hot out and you want to cool down with a cold dessert or beverage, what do you go for? A cold Coke seems to always do nicely.

1) Week three has come and gone. We sit comfortably in a playoff spot. Are you feeling like we have settled into a good groove? I think we're in a good spot, but we need to be careful not to get too complacent and end up falling out of that spot later. 2) We look to have three prospects joining us next season (Elsby(D), Helminen(W), Driver(G)). Who will make the quickest impact in your opinion? I see Helminen being the biggest gamer changer, our offense is getting older and we've struggled offensively last few seasons, he'll be a great addition to the team. 3) If you won tickets to a sporting event outside of hockey, what would you go see? Baseball most likely. 4) During shootout drills what is your go to breakaway move/deke? Toe drag left, wrister top right corner. Easy money 5) The power is out. What activity are you doing to kill time (keep it PG)? Work out in all honesty 6) What is your preferred game system? PC, Xbox, Playstation or Nintendo: PC, but I do have a soft spot for Playstation

1) Week two in the books and we lead the European Conference! Are you surprised to see us in this position? Not at all, I knew we had it in us, we just had to get some momentum 2) When playing on the road what is something you miss from home? The fans and atmosphere of playing in Helsinki. Always an amazing time 3) Do you like to listen to music in the locker room before games? Of course, getting pumped up for a game is a great way to go in with a good mindset 4) Who has been our unsung hero thus far? Again, tough to say for sure. This whole team has been playing great, but it's hard to overstate how much Michael Johnson's play has helped this team succeed this year. 5) If the guys went out for karaoke after a game would you go up and sing? still feel, by half alive for sure 6) What is your favorite movie trilogy or franchise? The prequels from Star Wars, but solely for Episode 3. Other two are eh

1) Training camp opens on Monday. How do you feel about being back on the ice after a short break? It's always nice to lace up the skates again and get back out on the ice. 2) In your opinion what is the most optimistic improvement the team has made in the offseason? We've learned from our mistakes last season and have a rejuvenated squad. We're definitely going to be better than last year. 3) How many goals and points do you project our rookie Valtteri Vaakanainen to have? 50-60 points at least 4) Who on the roster has the most improved team? Hard to say if one person improved the team most, as there is no "I" in "team." It's a group effort, so everyone contributed. 5) What is the last thing you ordered online? Probably something off Amazon, it's been way too long for me to remember though. 6) It's breakfast time, what would be your perfect breakfast? Bacon and eggs, easily
