1. We sit in a playoff spot in a meaningful part of the season for the first time ever as a franchise. Who needs to be our MVP for the last 6 games if we're going to make it to playoffs? Honestly, it's hard to pin most of our hopes on a player or group of players. As long as we contribute as a team and play as a team, I think anything is possible! 2. It's likely that either us or New York will finish 6th overall in the league but miss the playoffs while Riga, Helsinki, and Malmo/Prague will make it while finishing in the 7th, 8th, and 9th slots. Should we go back to a wildcard system to avoid situations like these? I'm all for WIldcards cause it throw a major mix up when it comes to playoffs, there's nothing like underdogs finishing on top! 3. Looking back at our off-season adds of Kriketers, Frostbeard, Ritchie, and Fish, who do you think was the most important piece for our turnaround this year? 100% all of them, we wouldn't be here if it weren't for their veteran experience and guidance for us greener guys. 4. If we slide into the playoffs as the North American 4th seed, we would likely play Vancouver in the first round. Does our 5-3 record against them in the regular season give you confidence in the series or do you think regular season results should be ignored and the playoffs should be a whole new season? Absolutely, it's definitely motivation for us to know that they're human and can be beaten but it's not going to be a walk in the park. 5. This season's theme week theme is "Future Hall of Famers". Who do you think is most likely to make the Hall from our active roster? My ride or die, Aaltonen! Guy is an amazing player, teammate and leader. I'm really hoping he's the first Dragon to do so! 6. What do you put on a hot dog? And is it a sandwich? I like my hot dogs Chicago style with all the works: mustard (preferably brown), chopped onions, sweet pickle relish, a dill pickle spear, tomato slices. And no you mad man! A hot dog is a hot dog!

1. Kastelic, Borwinn, Kriketers, and McWolf all retire after this season. Who has the best chance at a berth on the Hall of Fame? I'm hoping for McWolf. I really liked his game and is one of the model Defensemen I look up to. 2. We're on a tear lately. Who's to thank for our recent success? I think it's an awesome team effort on all parts. Guy, Frost, Mikko, Charles and Kastelic have all been killing it. 3. We need to pass one of Calgary, Seattle, Vancouver, or New York to make the playoffs. Who do we have the best chance to catch? I'm hoping it's Seattle cause it would be awesome to surpass the previous back to back champs to make a playoff spot but any spot will do! 4. We finished our season series against Vancouver with 5 wins and 3 losses. How does it feel to give it to those elitist assholes? Loved it, loved every moment of it. I'm hoping that it'll build some momentum in the next coming games. 5. Do we have any specific rivalry? I'm thinking Prague since they're just as green as we are so I see it as a rivalry of the new kids on the block. It's a rivalry I don't plan on losing. 6. Who's a player on another team that you admire? Along with McWolf, I admire Garcia's style of play and how he values transition defense on the fly and contributing on the attack without putting himself out of position.

1. Who's going to lead our team in points this season? It looked like Aaltonen had it on lock but now Graves and Frostbeard are surging too. Rooting for all of them to crush points but if I had to choose I'd say Aaltonen cause he's my ride or die. But nothing like some healthy, friendly competition between the boys. 2. What position should we be addressing at the next draft? Left Wingers would be solid or a goalie prospect would be great additions. 3. Should we make a trade deadline addition to try and reach playoffs or are you happy with the squad we have right now? I think we have a solid squad right now, I still think that we could make it with the pieces we have. Just some unfortunate luck in games. 4. What's the bigger surprise, Helsinki falling to 8th after their hot start or Seattle jumping up to 5th after their terrible start? I'm more surprised about Helsinki, I figured they would be higher. 5. There's a 3 way tie for the league scoring lead between Helmsley, Jaguar, and Borwinn, who takes it home? Hoping Borwinn takes the gold in this race but I know how high stakes the competition is. 6. Yesterday it was announced that Saskatoon GM @Elmebeck passed away. Share a memory if you have one. I personally have never spoken with him but seeing how well loved he was in the community, it's a real tragedy and I wish the best for him, his family and loved ones during this incredibly unfortunate time.

1. How do you feel about the trivia rule change (that has since been reversed)? Kind of a slippery slope, it's a tough rule to enforce and I understand the reasoning behind however I do think that collaborating with Team members in getting answers is more of a showing of activity than really trying to cheat the system. 2. Kriketers has been wildly inconsistent between the pipes, should we give Pouta more of a chance? I think a lot of us got off on a slow start but I think he's been tightening up and playing well the past few games. I think Pouta is great player that does deserve some more ice time though giving Kriketers some well deserved rest. 3. Our 4 dmen are at basically the same icetime per game, is this balance good or bad for the team? I think it's a good balance, gives everyone an ample opportunity to contribute out there. I'm personally not too worried about individual point and more concerned with the outcomes of our games. 4. The rookie winger Ritchie was recently moved to the top line with Graves and Aaltonen, what do you think of this change? I think it's a good move, Ritchie plays his heart out every game the second he steps out on his shift. I think the guy is a steal and that he's benefit greatly playing with Graves and Aaltonen 5. How do you manage your money? Is it with your parents like Jack Johnson's was before they bankrupted him? I have a track record of impulsive purchases and immediate regret in doing so. I've been trying to get better with it in the recent years which is good and has been working out thus far. 6. Did you watch The Big Game? What did you think? I was personally rooting for the 49ners cause Jimmy was Brady's Protege but I'm happy for the KC fans finally getting the prize they've been eyeing for years.

1 11 games in, we are currently sitting at the 4th rank in the Eastern Conference. Can we keep it up and make the playoffs? Absolutely, I think we can make a solid run for it if we keep working together and improving as the season goes on! 2 This start of the season has been wild to say the least. Defending champions in Seattle is 10th in the league. Perennial laughing stock of the league in Davos is 5th, 1 position behind our expansion rivals in Prague. What's your biggest surprise so far? Honestly it's Seattle, I know they lost a lot of great players on their run but I wasn't expecting it to be almost "rebuilding" results but the season is still early. 3 Who has been the Dragons best player so far? Benny and Guy are crushing it out there and giving Mikko the goal supported we've been needing. Charles is also really helping and chipping in from the blueline. 4 What do your individual stats look like af the moment and what do you hope they'll look like in another 10 games? I'm hoping my stats take a more positive turn, most of my points come from losses so I'm hoping I can contribute more to help us win in points, shotblocks, hits, whatevers needed. 5 What song do you think they should play when you guys jump on the ice before our home games? Only the greatest song of all time: Darude's 'Sandstorm' 6 What's worse: snow or rain? I can drive in snow much better than in rain, either way I'd rather be indoors for either unless maybe skating on a pond during snowfall but those are hard to find in the DC area haha
