It's a Legion party for Team Canada!!

Toronto Legion Press Conference (2 TPE for answering all six questions) 1. First PC as GM, so that's fun! Have you had a chance to check out the new games additions to the Legion Discord? Which one is your favourite so far? 2. Are you a hat wearer? If so, do you have a favourite go-to hat, and what is it? 3. We've already added a new defender to the mix for next season, do we use up the rest of the cap space trying to improve now, or do we save the space for an in-season trade? 4. What is a music hot take that you have? 5. Did you join the off-season Pro-Am tournament? If so, have you been drafted already, and by who? 6. Which flavour of Kraft Dinner is the best?

Bracket buddies!! I had Davos over Calgary in the Final!

The Continental Cup Final is here, and it sees the HC Davos Dynamo and Vancouver Wolves set to do battle for a title. In the regular season this year, the two teams met five times. Here's a breakdown of how their season series went: Game 1 Davos at Vancouver Game 60 Score: 4-3 DAV (SO) Shots: 49-30 VAN Davos had leads of 1-0 and 2-1 in the first and second period, and both times saw the Wolves equalize within 4 minutes. Vancouver would take a 3-2 before the end of the second period, while Davos would tie the game in the third period to send the game to overtime, followed by a shootout. This game saw the Wolves dominate the shot clock, but some up short in the shootout. Davos' Mina had the shootout winner, while Merome Dilson had 46 saves in regulation and overtime, and 4 more in the shootout. Game 2 Vancouver at Davos Game 332 Score: 3-2 VAN (SO) Shots: 40-26 VAN The Dynamo jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first period, but that was all the scoring that they would do. A pair of powerplay goals, one in the first period and one in the second by the Wolves would tie the game, sending it through a scoreless third period and into overtime. With no goals over the final period and the extra session, the shootout would see Pierre-Marc Bouchard score the winning goal. After 2 goals against in the span of 1:10, Vancouver goalie Soju would not give up another for the final 49 minutes of regulation, as well as the overtime and shootout. Game 3 Davos at Vancouver Game 341 Score: 2-1 DAV (SO) Shots: 44-28 VAN The only scoring in regulation for this game included and early second period goal by Davos and a late third period powerplay goal by Vancouver. After a regulation where they dominated the shot clock, the Wolves were defeated in the shootout by a pair of goals from Davos' Antonia Bucatini and Grimgor Ironhide. Merome Dilson was the star of the show again for Davos, stopping 43 of 44 shots in regulation/overtime, along with both Vancouver attempts in the shootout. Game 4 Davos at Vancouver Game 355 Score: 5-3 DAV Shots: 56-22 VAN This game featured the most scoring of the season series, and it got started early with Davos breaking the ice under 3 minutes into the game. Vancouver would reply with a pair of powerplay goals less than 7 minutes later, and would lead the game 2-1 heading into the intermission. After a scoreless first half of the second period, there would be 5 goals in the back half, 4 of which would be scored by Davos. The Dynamo got on the board first to tie the game at 2-2, with the Wolves bouncing right back to take the lead 3-2 just over a minute later. It only took Davos 10 seconds to even the game back up at 3-3, and by the end of the period it was 5-3 Dynamo. That's how the game would end, with Merome Dilson making another 53 saves on Vancouver in the win. Game 5 Vancouver at Davos Game 407 Score: 3-2 DAV (OT) Shots: 38-29 VAN The teams traded goals in the first period, with Vancouver scoring and Davos responding. Following a scoreless second period, the teams would trade goals in the third, again with Vancouver scoring and Davos responding. In overtime, it was Antonia Bucatini capping off the win for the Dynamo. It was the Dilson show in net for Davos again, making 36 saves in the win for the Dynamo. Conclusion This series looks like it will come down to whether Vancouver can continue to carry the play on the shot clock and actually break through the brick wall that is Merome Dilson in net for Davos. The Dynamo need to continue to be opportunistic and take advantage of a counter attack that led them to win this season series 4-1. The closest that Davos came on the shot clock was in the last game (which was still 9 shots less than Vancouver had), but that didn't stop them from winning the series handily. My prediction is that Dilson continues to stymie Vancouver enough to win a tight series in 7 games.

Let me preface this by saying that I'm aware that there are some discrepancies between the portal stats and what has occurred over the history of the league, but since the portal is the only place that the stats are listed, that's what I'm basing this off of. After six seasons with the Legion, Harry Callahan has climbed the ranks of the Legion stats pages, both in the regular season and the playoffs. Here's a breakdown of the statistical categories and where Callahan sits: Points Regular Season - 10th (545) / Playoffs - 4th (74) For the regular season, Callahan is 1 point back of 9th, 7 back of 8th, 18 back of 7th, and 21 back of 6th. To crack the top 5, it would take a 63 point season. On the playoff list, 3rd place is 3 points away, while 2nd place is 15 up, and the leader is 26 away at the top. Goals Regular Season - 9th (234) / Playoffs - 3rd (35) More of a gap here, as Callahan is 16 goals back of 8th place for the regular season. Cracking the top 5 will take 45 goals. In the playoffs, Callahan is 3 goals away from 2nd place, and 9 goals back of 1st. Assists Regular Season - 14th (311) / Playoffs - 7th (39) Similarly to the goals list in the regular season, Callahan needs 22 assists to move up a spot into 13th. There is a large cluster of players above that, and Callahan needs 58 to move into 5th place. For the playoffs, Callahan 1 assist back of 6th, 4 back of 5th, and 5 back of 4th. Plus/Minus Regular Season - 14th (+164) / Playoffs - 3rd (+29) This is a difficult one, mostly because it is more reflective of how strong the team has been. Callahan would need to be +16 in the regular season to move into the top 10, and +59 to move into 5th place. On the playoff side, Callahan would need to be +6 or better to move into the top spot. Shots Regular Season - 6th (2970) / Playoffs - 3rd (415) Callahan needs 126 regular season shots to move into 5th all time, and 273 to move into 4th place. In the playoffs, Callahan is 72 shots back of 2nd and 142 back of 1st. Hits Regular Season - 12th (1043) / Playoffs - 9th (130) In the regular season, Callahan is 27 hits away from moving into the top 10, and 249 away from the top 5. For the playoffs, Callahan is 1 hit back of 8th, 16 back of 7th, 17 back of 6th, and 24 back of the top 5. Game Winning Goals Regular Season - 8th (44) / Playoffs - 2nd (9) Callahan is 4 regular season game winners away from 5th place, and 10 away from 4th. 1 playoff game winner is all that Callahan needs to move into a tie for 1st place. Powerplay Goals Regular Season - 8th (51) / Playoffs - 4th (7) 7th place on the regular season list is only 3 powerplay goals away for Callahan, while 6th is 4 PPG's out and 4th place is 5 away. On the playoffs side, Callahan is 1 PPG back of 3rd, 2 back of 2nd, and 3 back of 1st. With a strong final season in Toronto, Callahan would move into the top 5 in several statistical categories, hopefully cementing the foundation of a legacy of productivity with the Legion. Playing through an era with other Legion players who have made it to the top of the lists like Mac Atlas, Jimi Jaks, and Bobby Bob, it would be an honour to join those players in Toronto history.

Toronto Legion Press Conference (2 TPE for answering all six questions) 1. Who is going to win the Continental Cup in the Finals, Vancouver or Davos? 2. What would be the coolest video game to get dropped directly into and play? 3. Do you think that we should have more ways to earn TPE in the VHL, or do we need to keep the cap on earning as there currently is? 4. Will the Minnesota Wild (and their players) get more deserved attention now that they're leading the NHL in points? 5. What is the most important position for us to add in the upcoming VHL Draft? 6. Which movie has your favourite twist ending? (Don't reveal the twist)

Can we purge older posts from the Team Press Conferences? It takes significantly longer to load that section of the forum than most others. Likely don't need to keep all of the posts going back to 2019 due to the volume of them.

Congratulations on a wonderful career as GM in Malmo, you're far and away the franchise's leader in GM wins and games, and I doubt that will be touched any time soon. You've been a pleasure to chat with for off the ice deals as well, which is a bonus. As far as outside the league, it's nice to hear that it's some personal success that has limited your time, hopefully that continues for you! Best of luck with that side of things, and hopefully we continue to see you around the league a bit (especially in net for the Legion!).

I apply for Toronto only.

Answers 1. Pittsburgh Steelers, as a play on the skate blades, as well as the connection to the city. 2. I think that it's probably Keon for the individual and team success. At some point it could be Matthews, but that will require him to do what hasn't been possible for many other Leafs legends. 3. Probably football to watch and baseball to play. I love fantasy football, so it keeps me entertained. Played baseball for years when I was younger, would like to get back to it at some point. Questions 1. What is your favourite spoof/parody movie of all time? 2. Would you rather block a big shot or throw a big hit late in the third period with a one goal lead? 3. Does ketchup belong on Kraft Dinner?

A pair of defenders heading into the prime of their career are set to be the stars of the Legion blueline for the foreseeable future. Heading into their third and fourth seasons in the VHL respectively, the Legion look set to see Andrew Skilton and Gul Dukat take control of the back end and handle the bulk of the defensive load moving forward. Skilton is under contract with the Legion through S99, while Dukat has signed until S98, so both players have plenty of time to continue to grow into their new responsibilities in Toronto. Both players are coming off of point increases in this past season, and will attempt to best their totals again next season. Skilton saw an 8 point increase from his first season to his second, while firing 43 more shots at the net. Dukat picked up 11 more points than S95, and added 55 more shots over the previous season. The players will still have a veteran to guide them along, as Walter Fitzroy Jr. is set to enter his 7th season on the Toronto blueline, coming off of a career high in goals last season. Fitzroy Jr. is also signed through S98 to provide the stabilizing presence on the back end, so the Legion blueline is almost set for a couple of seasons.

This is awesome, thank you!!

Coming off of a 99 point season in the VHLE last season for the Bratislava Watchmen, expectations were high for Dorji Khan coming into this season. The first season in the VHL can be daunting for any player, but that especially goes for a player who was looking to help replace a large amount of lost production for a team that had just lost two franchise icons the previous off-season. Dorji Khan has thus far lived up to those expectations of being a player who could bring the offensive talent and production to the team. Khan sits in fifth place in Rookie Scoring in the VHL with 43 points in 67 games, and has an outside shot at a 50 point season with a strong finish to the year. It's been an even amount of production for Khan, who has 21 goals and 22 assists this year, showing the ability to be both a goal scorer and a playmaker. The production showed this season bodes well for Khan's future in Toronto, after signing a 3 year extension through S99 to stay in the blue and white. With a career on the upswing, the future is very bright for Dorji Khan in Toronto!

Toronto Legion Press Conference (2 TPE for answering all six questions) 1. Barring a miracle, we're set to miss the playoffs for the first time since S89. What areas do we need to improve in on the roster next season to ensure that it doesn't happen again? 2. If you had to pick music from a specific decade to listen to for the rest of your life, what decade would it be? 3. What are you most and least happiest about your player's individual season this year? 4. Which NHL team's start to the season has been most surprising in your opinion? 5. If you could change one thing in the VHL, what would it be and why? 6. Would you say that you are more left-brained or right-brained?
