Helsinki 3-2

1. New season 1st in the league... Do you think we are this good? All things considered, we're doing extremely well with our backup holding down the fort and getting us to this position. 2. Do you think we can carry this on for a full season? Absolutely, as stated before with our start with a backup in net, just imagine how good we'll be with an elite starter 3. What do you think is our biggest strength? Defense, by the looks of things 4. Thoughts on getting our back up goalie done with all 8 games early? Glad we got that out of the way now in all honesty, now we don't need to worry about starting him in the playoffs instead ? 8. Do you think the leadership of the team is good? Absolutely, we're in a great spot now because of our new Captain and leadership. 9. If you could change one thing about the team what would it be? Nothing, we're elite now and there's no reason to screw the momentum up

Who do you think will be the most improved on our team this season? Everyone, we've learned from our mistakes from last year 10.

1. What are you going to be working on the most this offseason? Offense, for sure. My numbers have got to get up if we start relying on depth offense. 2. What did you think about training camp? Loving how the roster is coming together, I like the chemistry and think this can be a strong group of guys with a drive to win the cup again. 5. What movie did you watch and love this summer? Rewatching the Mighty Ducks trilogy for sure 7. If you could be coach for a day what would you make us practice? I'd have the boys run some suicides and shooting drills and call it a day 8. If you were the GM what one trade would you do to make our team better? Start dropping off some picks for players and add some elite talent to our offense probably. 10. Who do you think is the future captain this next season? It really depends who steps up in the spotlight after Beau retired.

1. How are you feeling? It's a tough way to go out for sure, but the better team won the series and game 7 showed that. 2. What do you think went right? A lot went right, chemistry seemed good, production from the team was nice as well. We had a lot going for us in all honesty 3. What do you think went wrong? It's impossible to pinpoint one specific problem for our loss, but overall game 7 was a bad team performance, so we'll need to reassess and prepare for the next season. 5. What do you think we need to do this offseason? Honestly, not too much. I feel our team is really good as is, we just got unlucky and a total blowup is not necessary. 6. What do we need to try and do in the draft? Go for gems or maybe flip picks for players to assist in the win now strategy 7. We are just now getting in our prime as a team... what do you think will push us over the edge? Depth or growth from the team in general. We're on the cusp of having an incredible team here, so major changes will just ruin the chemistry of the team.

1.) Has the team ever collectively Howled at the moon? If I said yes we'd be called a cult, so no 2.) Best kept secret about the Wolves LR? It wouldn't be much of a secret if I told the press conference our secrets, eh? 4.) Vancouver is a guaranteed playoff team, choose a team most likely to beat you. And no you can say you are invincible? Calgary gave us a spook last season in round one, I could see them being motivated to beat us this time around. 7.) What do the Wolves do for team bonding? Totally not howling at the moon 9.) Are you in it for the money? The fans? The Fame HOF? or for Your Team? I've always been about the group effort, but going pro has shown me that there is so much more to hockey than just what you're in the sport for. It's a lifestyle. 10.) Nicest thing you have done for a teammate? Probably letting them borrow my pick stick tape, I'm starting to run out though so I may have to pay Blade another visit for a resupply

1. Trades happened. Where were you when you got the news? I was sitting in my house and got a text from a teammate that Palo got moved. 2. How do you feel about the trades? It's early to say, but losing your captain and best player is definitely a hard loss to the entire team. We'll have to see what kind of effect this has on the team as a whole. 3. We lost our captain and top player... What words do you have for him? Thank you from all of us for everything you did for the team and the city of Vancouver, your presence will be missed for sure. 4. On the next home game where our former captain comes home what should we do for his return? Big tribute to him on the jumbotron and a ceremonial puck drop with him and a player from the Wolves at the very least. He deserves it. 5. With this new line up the lines are all over the place. How do you feel our chances are right now? I feel like we stand a strong chance at making a post-season return and proving the doubters wrong. 6. With the captain being traded we announced some new leaders in the locker-room... any words of advice for them. Hard to say as I've never been in the position myself, but just treat it like you've been treating the team and you'll be a natural.

Vancouver 4-2

1. What was your first memory of hockey? Waking up in the early hours of the morning to go to practices on the other side of town. It was always worth it to me. 2. Who was your favorite player in the NHL growing up? Good ol' Burnaby Joe Sakic 3. Who do you look up in the VHL? Rauno Palo 8. What VHLM teammate do you miss the most? John Frostbeard 9. Why do you miss this old teammate? He lit the lamp like crazy in the VHLM and was a true leader in the locker room, and I took a lot of inspiration from him and his style of play and applied it to my own. 10. Which teammate you currently have pushes you to be the best player you can be? Rauno Palo, he's a leader on and off the ice and I definitely look up to him and his ability to lead a team
