I'm on my way back to school, so what better to do than dish out some questions for a press conference!!! I can't figure out how to center this on mobile, so you'll just have to cry about it if pc formatting is the hill you're dying on.

 

As always: you can answer 3 questions for 1 TPE, 6 questions for 2 TPE

1. How'd you bring in the New Year? Anything exciting? 

2. What's your favorite game at the moment? If you don't play games often, then what've you been filling your "you time" with?

3. What good thoughts will you be bringing to our team group-think session? 

4. What attributes are you focusing on as we face off against DC in the conference finals? 

5. Which opposing team member are you focused most on stopping? 

6. Who do you think is going to come out on top in the EU conference, Moscow or Malmo?

1. It was fun, went to a party with friends.

2. Binge watching Naruto Shippuden.

3. Earning well, and keeping up the hard work.

4. Probably my passing abilities.

5. Nobody really, doing my own thing.

6. Moscow, for sure.

Ah yes, that time of the year. Today is December 20th, and it's only 5 days away from Christmas! Which is my birthday by the way. To sum up the year, despite COVID, I'd say it's been good for me. I'm glad for this summer especially, as that was extremely beneficial for me. I'm thankful for a lot of things this year. Including the VHL, this has always been a fun place for me to come hang out. and Tate has been a huge success in my mind so far. Getting selected to Chicago was a great thing for me as well, I truly believe I can make a strong impact on that team in the future. Being traded to Las Vegas wasn't so bad as well, as now I'm on a contending team, and we are fighting for that championship. Overall, it's been a good year for me, and I hope it gets even better next year.

Las Vegas Aces Press Conference

14/12 - 20/12

Answer these questions for 2 Capped TPE

 

1) WOAH TRADES GALORE! What do you think about the recent trades as of late? What kind of statement does it make towards the other teams?

 

2) What do you love most about this time of year? The gifts? The gatherings? (Well not anymore cuz fucking rona) Maybe because you get a break from school/work?

 

3) I'm assuming none of you guys are children so what's an incident from highschool that you remember?

 

4) We're currently locked at 5th place in the standings. Will that change by the end of the season?

 

5) How are you doing as of late?

 

6) What's your favourite snack?

1. I think they are good, it shows we are in it to win it.

2. The gifts and gatherings for sure!

3. Oh well I am a child, in 9th grade, so, so far I've gotten into 2 fights and been suspended 6 days haha.

4. I believe so, we are a much better team then that.

5. Doing well, glad for this much needed break.

6. Fruit snacks if I had to choose.

With more then half the season over, I have been traded from the Hounds to Las Vegas. One of the original VHLM teams I was on with Foilen. I was quite surprised when I was traded, as I thought I was doing quite well, with my player, earning, and my LR activity. Nevertheless, I believe it is truly for the better. Although I have a smaller role on the team, I would say we are much more competitive. And GM @Spartan has been making move after move, to make sure our team stays that way. If we keep earning, we have a serious chance at winning it all, and I can't wait to be a part of that!

Chicago Phoenix Press Conference 

Answer 6 for 2 TPE; 3 for 1 TPE

 

 

 

1) Who is your favourite VHL blue team member? (Victor, Beaviss, Quik, Beketov)

 

2) Which VHL Expansion team do you think is the best besides Chicago (London, Warsaw, LA) and why?

 

3) Chicago Phoenix is having a SECRET SANTA... Which teammate do you think would give the best christmas gift?

 

4) Do you think VHL should take a few days off over Christmas? What would you do with your sim league holiday time?

 

5) If your VHL player were a professional wrestler, what would they look/act like? Would they be a hero or villain?

 

6) Chicago Phoenix is thinking of getting a locker room pet dog, what kind of dog would you like and what should the dog's name be?

1. Gonna have to go Victor here, my OG VHL GM, I owe him a lot.

2. London, I like their Logo.

3. Fishy I'm guessing.

4. Depends on how busy I am, just relax, take a few days off.

5. I would be the villian for sure, and I would too act too confident. 

6. Maybe a Golden Retriever, and Jove!

And we are back! We are about 44 games into the season, and I have 50+ points, 56 in total. And I have to say, that's not bad, even though the Hounds aren't as good as we were last year, I still feel like I have been playing my game, and doing what I can to help my team. I've been earning 12 a week, although I need to do one of my career point tasks, but either way, I have been improving as the season goes on, and that's all anyone can ask for. I'm hoping that I'm doing enough to at least be in contention for some awards, as throughout my time here in VHL, I'm not sure I have won a award. So hopefully, by the time the season wraps up, I can get myself and award or 2!

1. What’s one good thing about your player’s position?

2. What’s one bad thing about your player’s position?

3. What do you dislike about the VHL?

4. If Geoffrey Dee planned a team road trip, which place would you recommend us to visit?

5. Would it be a good idea if I let you guys do the PC sometimes?

6. Which player should get pranked?

1. Playing C is fun, gives a balanced amount of goals and points.

2. More things to work on, meaning you have to be beastly at earning TPE.

3. Nothing really, I love it.

4. Hawaii!

5. Oh yea for sure, I'd love that.

6. Gorlab of course, without question!

Despite the Hounds not being at their best in this moment, I have been balling this year in my opinion. I believe I have 30+ total points on the year, and that's a great start to this season, better then last year when I was on 2nd line. I'm excited for this opportunity, and I seriously hope that we can pick our shit up before the season ends. We really need to go on a run and show that the type of team we are, the one right now is down in the dumps, and I know we can be doing better. It's up to us to make the chance, and become better teammates, which in turn, will turn us to a better team!

week end 11/29

Happy thanksgiving weekend everybody, thank you all for your existence, i'm thankful for you as you make this a better year than most would say.

 

1. What are you thankful for in everyday life?

 

2. What are your plans for thanksgiving? 

 

3. what do you plan on getting during the black friday sales?

 

4. Do you think we need to fix the lines, or wait until we start dominating like last year?

 

5. How has VHL helped get you through 2020 so far?

 

6. Which player on the team would you buy a gift for and what kind of gift?

1. My Friends

2. Hanging out with family is all.

3. PS5 games for sure, gift cards and whatnot.

4. No, we are fine.

5. Just provided another outlet for fun.

6. Probs Gorlab, a diamond ring.

Well, I'm in the VHLM for one more season, my team the Hounds isn't doing as well as I thought we would. I see a bunch of losses and am seriously wondering what's going on, however, it is what it is. I feel I have been playing at a solid level, 12 points in 9 games isn't too shabby, however, I can obviously improve, and that's what I plan on doing. We just need some time to really get our chemistry together, overall Chicago looks great in the VHL. I can tell we have a bright future, and I know I need to prove my value to the GM. Look forward to the rest of the year!

4. What would you want for Christmas?

4. PS5 for sure.

5. Listen to music, pretend im in Naruto

6. Phone, Headphones, practice gear, food, drinks.

Ah yes, we finally made it, drafted to Chicago! That's what I like, I'm grateful to be here, and I know we have a bright future, especially with me @gorlab on the squad. There's a lot of good VHL Community members on that team, and I'm proud to be there with them. GM @JeffD has done an excellent job, and I feel that it's going to be a good year. I'm gonna stay down in the VHLM for one more season, and I'm passing 200 TPE this week, I can sense it's going to be a great year! Back to 12 a week of course, my favorite part of being in Chicago is for sure the LR, it's active, and welcoming to prospects. Until next time!

Answer 6 for 2 TPE; 3 for 1 TPE

1.       Which aspect of your game would you most want to improve on?

2.       Will our FA signing Jared fit in well to the team?

3.       Do you listen to any of the podcasts made by our fellow VHL friends? If yes, which ones?

4.       How long will it take for the Chicago Phoenix to become competitive?

5.       What’s your favourite snack? 

6.       What’s the best song ever in your opinion?

1. Scoring for sure.

2. Yes, we need a leader such as him

3. Nah not really

4. Not long, we have a great core and future.

5. Nutella

6. I don't know, I have a lot of favorites. 

Well, a 4-0 sweep is not what I was expecting. Still, it really was a terrific run, and we did all we could in the end. That's all one could ask for, knowing I'll be back in the VHLM next year, and I'll be even better then before. The VHL draft is tommorow, and I'm so excited about getting drafted! I've gotten more draft letters then I can count, and it really seems like a team's are willing to take a chance on me. I've informed most GMs I want to spend another year in the M before making my debut, I feel my development would benefit a lot from that. But overall, I feel like I will go in that 3rd or 4th round section, either way, I can't wait to make whatever sort of impact I can!

Alright, alright. I know @fever95 just posted questions a couple days ago but I'll consider that for last week. Here are some more questions for the week of 10/18!

 

MOSCOW MOSCOW MOSCOW

 

1. Moscow is currently AGM-less after the departure of Eagles. Do you think it's time for Moscow to hire a new AGM? Does Victor need one?

2. Raymond @Mr_Hatter Bernard has his sights set on the Hall of Fame. What can we do as a team to help him get some accolades this season so he can get in?

3. Newhook, Angellini, and Stansson have been our rookies this season. How have they been doing? If you're one of these three rookies, how would you assess your performance?

4. Last week was theme week, and the theme was Dream Team. Who was someone you wanted to add on your dream team, but just narrowly missed the cut? (Here's your chance to recognize someone you may not have been able to!)

5. Vladimir @Victor Pavlov is having a career year. What have you seen from him both on and off the ice that could have led to this amazing late-career surge?

6. Alex Letang seems to have too much confidence and swagger right now. Roast him so his head doesn't get too big.

1. No, Victor is perfectly fine on his own.

2. Just pass him the puck and let him do his own thing!

3. I think they are doing fine, as all Moscow rookies usually do.

4. Hmm, I didn't do that, but if I had to say, it would be Beaviss.

5. His work ethic is admirable!

6. You need some milk young man.

And here we are, another finals appearance. Us hounds finally got it together, and have made it to the VHLM Finals. It's been a great journey so far, and I sincerely hope we can continue it, into another VHLM championship for this franchise. Overall, our team chemistry has been great all year, and despite what the haters said, we proved them wrong. I hope that we come out on top as champions, but either way, I'm proud to have been on this remarkable team. And Done whatever I could for them, next week is the week where we make our final stand, and see if we are up to the task. As for the offseason, the draft is next weekend, so I'm super excited for that, until next time!

On 10/25/2020 at 3:52 PM, Telkster said:

Wow does this page need some new questions or what!

1. Who scares you the most going into the playoffs?

2. Moscow had a weirdly shaky end to the season, can we get back to top form for the playoffs?

3. Whats one team that you have to tie yourself towards as the team that got you interested or more excited about the VHL? (Don’t worry, if you don’t say Moscow then @Victor won’t hit you too hard)

4. Would you say you do more, less, or the same amount of sports on TV since the pandemic hit around March?

5. I am in need of a new Netflix show to binge, suggestions?

6. Whether you retire have to retire next year or have a newer player now, do you plan on recreating?

 

1. I'm not scared of anyone.

2. For sure, never doubt the core Moscow group.

3. Moscow for sure, they blossomed me into who I am today, Saskatoon as well.

4. More Sports.

5. The Arrow! Or Naruto

6. Depends on my work load.

Well boys we did it, we made the playoffs, and in fact today we made it past the 1st round in a full 4-1 effort! I'm proud of this team, and proud of everything we have accomplished so far, but remember, this is only the beginning! I have faith that we can go all the way, and that we can actually win the ring we all so desperately want! Overall we had a great season, and I had 60+ points on the year, while only being on 2nd line! Of course that 2-3 week break took a hit to my draft stock, however, I bounced back and it seems to be rising now! The draft will come after the playoffs, and I'm extremely excited about that. I fully expect each VHL team to know that me and @gorlab are a package deal as well. But seriously, I hope that a VHL team takes a chance on me, as for now, let's get a ring this year!

Can the playoffs please hurry up already??

 

1. We had our 1st losing streak in a while. what caused it? is it teams becoming better or us not doing enough to keep consistency?

 

2. Playoffs are coming soon, how ready are you for it?

 

3. What is your hidden talent?

 

4. Do you think we have what it takes to take 1st place before playoffs? what do we need to do to get it?

 

5. What is the best gift you have even gotten?
 

6. What is your 2nd favorite NHL team?

1. We need to do more in my opinion, especially on my part.

2. 100% Ready to dominate and win a ring.

3. My Work Ethic and activity I guess.

4. Not sure, but we just need to keep doing our thing and working hard.

5. Not sure about that either, I'd have to think about it.

6. I don't have one!

After a 2 week break from updating, I'm back. I've been quite busy with school, sports, and the overall pressure of life over the past 2 weeks. I'm glad to say that I am back with a full update coming in. As usual, the Hounds are dominating! Although I know my draft stock has probably gone down, I'm going to work quite hard to get it back up. As a 147 TPE C, I'd say having 57 points at this time of the year whilst only being on 2nd line is a great place to be. I'm glad that our team has finally come together, and we look like a real championship contender! I have no idea how long I'm going to stay in the VHLM, but I plan to make the most of my time here, and am planning on being a 2nd round pick. In fact, I even got my first draft letter recently! I'm hoping he responds back quickly, but overall, I'm ready to get back to work!

Eat it, Mexico. Revenge has been served. Halifax is next.

 

1.  where do you think we will place in the standings at the end of the season?

 

2. WJC is starting soon, which team will you be rooting for?

 

3. What TV show or book have you been watching/reading in 2020?

 

4. Who is your gold, silver and bronze winners for WJC?

 

5. What do you believe is the most overhyped/popular thing in the world today?

 

6.  If you were GM, what would you do to keep the hounds dominating to the next season?

1. At least top 3, we have been rolling so far.

2. None, I don't pay much attention to that.

3. Watching the arrow currently.

4. Don't know, haven't been watching.

5. Honestly no idea.

6. Keep the current core together, and go after solid draft prospects.

Well, this season has been great in my mind so far! We picked up the pace, and are quickly rising in standings. It seems our team chemistry is back on point, and I'm hoping we can bring a ring home to the Hounds. However, earning wise, I'd say it's been pretty good. The one thing I'm hoping for is that @Victor brings back trivia, as that was the main piece in me getting 12 TPE a week. Other then that, VHL has been solid, and Tate has been a monster. Although he's only on 2nd line, behind @GustavMattias. He has 26 points in 22 games, hopefully I can continue to improve, but overall, this is some all star level play. However, I don't want to slow down here, I need to pick up the pace if I ever want to make the starting lineup. Overall, great start to the season, and let's continue this!
