    Ace's Press Conference Questions (June 17-23)

     

    1. Unfortunately the Aces did not make the cut for the playoff's this season, so which team do you think is going to win it all?

     

    2. If you could change the Ace's color scheme to anything else, what would it be?

     

    3. As this season comes to an end, we will see a lot of players moving up to the VHL just after one season. Do you think is would be better to stay in the VHLM for an additional season or just move up to the VHL as soon as possible?

     

    4. The NHL Finals just wrapped up last week, are you happy to see the Blues hoist the cup for the first time? Who do you think are the early favorites for next season?

     

    5. If you could go back and start a new player right now, is there anything different you would do compared to your current player?

     

    6. What is your dream vacation spot?

    Late Season Additions Preparing Reapers For Deep Playoff Push

    in Archived Media Spots

    Posted

    The Philadelphia Reapers put the rest of the VHLM on notice when they aggressively entered the trading pool towards the end of this season. At the time there were debates on whether or not making those moves would pan out for the Reapers, however after seeing them lock up the top spot ending the season with a six game winning streak, it is hard to find any fault with the actions of the front office as they approached the trade deadline. 

     

    Let us recap the trades in question before we move on, for those who may not know. The first late season trade the Reapers pulled off was to send Rhys Chism over to San Diego, in return they recieved a S67 SDM 2nd round pick, S67 OTT 4th round pick, and center Scotty BigShotty. This could have been seen as the Reapers dishing off one of their top guys doing their best to develop some depth in the upcoming season, which would have been right, but the Reapers weren't finished there. Soon after their trade with San Diego, they engaged in three trades with Minnesota in quik succession. As we all know, Minnesota had just recently brought in some new leadership and it was expected that they were going to shake things up a bit, but nobody could have foreseen what was about to happen. The first trade between the two organizations was for Minnesota's top defenseman, Boone Jenton, which the Reapers had to part with S67 2nd round pick which originally belonged to Minnesota, as well as players Michael McConway and Tony Mac. This trade alone created quite the rumble around the league, as it became quite clear that the Reapers planned on making a late run in the upcoming playoffs and they were going to do whatever it would take to make it happen. But yet again, the Reapers weren't finished, they quickly also secured Minnesota's top offensive player Mat Tocco as well, while giving up their S67 2nd round pick as well as player Logan Swallow. At this point it was clear that the Reapers weren't messing around, and to put the final nail in that coffin they also acquired Tocco's long time friend and teammate Andrew Hawk while sending Peter Schilling to Minnesota. 

     

    While it was clear that the Reapers had added an amazing amount of talent to their already deep roster, the league was waiting to see if the gamble would pay off. Well fortunately for Philly, they didn't need to wait long as the recently added player almost immediately made their presence known. In the short time the players were on the team they had already 53 points between the four of them. Mat Tocco (7 goals, 6 assists), Scotty Bigshotty (3 goals, 4 assists), Boone Jenton (2 goals, 31 assists as well as 26 shots blocked), and Anthony Hawk who had no points but added much depth and talent to the team. It is clear that the Reapers had made the right choice. 

     

    During the time after these late-addition players were added to the team, the Philadelphia Reapers rose to the top of the standings and secured the number one seed going in to the playoffs. And ironically enough, the first team they will be playing, the team that gave all the new found talent to the Reapers, is the Minnesota Storm. It will be very interesting to see how this series plays out, but it is hard to see the Reapers not coming out of this one. We expect the Reapers won't see much of a challenge until the finals but it has become very hard to bet against them no matter who they face coming up. However, we know anything can happen come playoff time. We will be very excited to see where the Reapers end up

    3. Something nice you did for one of the New Guys: Anthony Hawk, Matt Tacco, Scotty Big Shotty, Condor Adrienne and Boone Jenton (if you are one of the guys we traded for tell me how the Reapers are doing at making you feel in your new home?)

    The guys on the team have been great so far, everyone has done a great job of making me feel welcome.

    4. Anthony Hawk, Matt Tacco, Scotty Big Shotty, Condor Adrienne and Boone Jenton were brought on to help us in our cup goals? Do you think this will help us keep up with the competition?  Who do you see being our biggest asset?

    I think the additions will be a huge benefit for the Reapers come playoff time, the amount of depth we have now is unreal. And I would like to think that my guy Boone Jenton would be the biggest asset, but all the guys we added will be big role players on the team

    6. Are you excited to know that The Reapers clinched a playoff spot?

    Absolutely! Everyone wants to be able to have a chance to perform in the playoffs so it's nice to know we have locked up that opportunity. Now its time to get prepared

    7. How do you deal with the excitement of playoff hockey?

    I think you just have to embrace it and use that excitement on the ice. There's a reason playoff hockey is the best thing in professional sports.

    8. Blade is buying treats for the team, what should she bring you ?

    Oh I'd be happy with anything. I'm not huge on sweets so how about a round of steaks for the boys!

    9. Comments on how the team is gelling after all the moves?

    I think the team is gelling perfectly with the new players adjusting to their new roles. It seems like the production of a lot of the players is at an all-time high.

    12.What would you choose as your animal sidekick if you were in a movie?

    I think I'd have to go with a bengal tiger, those things are fierce and I'm pretty sure i'd be able to saddle-up on one
