1. As we pass the first third of the season we sit one win away from our team goal of double digit wins! How do you feel about possibly becoming the most successful team in Moscow history?!
I think after the S66 draft and a pretty active off-season in terms of roster movement, it was pretty much a sure bet that we would be the best Moscow team yet. I wasn't surprised whatsoever. I don't think we are very far off from being a playoff team, that, to me, is our next goal.
2. Who do you credit the most to our victories?
I think our defensive core and goaltending are probably the biggest factors in our wins. Owen May has had some great performances in net, and is only getting better. Nano and Buefordsson coming in at the back end has also been immense.
3. Earlier this month Vlad Putin voiced his displeasure in the state of affairs of our team. Do you believe he's justified to be angry with the Menace?
Yes. I believe that President Putin is indeed correct. Moscow has to be better. We must take over the hockey world.
4. What are some differences you've noticed between the VHLM and the VHL?
The loss of the +1 tpe from practice facilities is the biggest difference. It hurts my soul every week.
5. What's your pre-game meal? Does it change or is it always constant?
I get a Fuddruckers 3/4 lb hamburger delivered every game day. I usually top it with diced onions, pickles, a little shredded lettuce with some mayo.
6. Are you superstitious? Is there a routine you must do prior to every game in order to feel like you have a chance to succeed?
I try not to smoke marijuana before a game. I only partake after the game, even if we have an early game the next day. As long as I can sleep for a good 6 hours, I'm refreshed and not impaired.
