1. Actually, we played better than I expected. I was expecting the win, but not a sweep. I am very happy with the results. 2. Well, I was hoping to pull this one out, but we fought hard and played a good series. Very proud of this team. 3. All I could hope for was to keep playing our game. We have a great team. 4. I feed off of both the booing and cheering. I want to play hard for our home crowd and upset the crowd when we play away. 5. I would have loved to see us play Ottawa. 6. I am not too particular about the actual restaurant as long as we dine as a team and load up on those carbs, so probably a good Italian place.

1. I think we are in really good shape. We are top of the league and playing well. No concerns here. 2. I am not playing as well as I would like, but I did expect my numbers to go down since a lot of talent was being brought back in with the closure of the VHLE. 3. Absolutely. There is much more competition and the standings are close, but I am excited to see how we do. 4. I am trying to model after Peter Bondra. I loved his playing style and how he took charge of his position. 5. I would not change a good thing, especially as we move into the playoffs. 6. I think we are going to lose some players as they advance in their careers. I am hoping that I can improve enough to move up to the VHL over the off-season, but if I am still here, I hope to put up some better numbers.

1. I think the team is positive and really coming together. Overall, I believe that we're all happy where we are and where we are going. 2. Stay the course. Keep doing what works. 3. I am pretty simple, try to sleep in a bit, wake up to a good size breakfast, then morning stretches followed by some off-ice conditioning. 4. Quietly... I am not a big Halloween person. 5. I had a super detailed steampunk costume that I have used for multiple Halloween parties. 6. Pumpkin pie... no question. I like apple pie, but pumpkin is way better.

1. I think spirits are still good. It is a long season and we have a long way to go. 2. A toque is a must for pre-game attire, but on ice, we get pretty warm, so just a thermal shirt, maybe a turtleneck, will do. 3. Just play our game and we will be fine. I try not to focus on who we play and just be consistent. 4. I am a pumpkin guy so anything pumpkin works. 5. I am an old-school music guy, so new music is not my thing. I just need so good 80's alternative to get me going. 6. I am not a Halloween person, so no big plans for me. I will just hand out candy so my house doesn't get egged.

1. I want to improve my player and score some goals. I really just want to be productive for the team. 2. With all the talent that has come back into the VHLM, that is going to be a really tough task. I hope so. 3. I try to focus on where I am underperforming and look for things to work. The difficult thing is when you think you are doing thing right and still not preforming. Just got to work through it. 4. I know for me, scoring is way down. I hope to find a place where I can be productive. 5. I am a very picky eater, but my go-to meal is chicken parmesan with lots of pasta. Carb loading for the win. 6. Passing, Scoring, and Skating - I want to be a top goal scorer. Very loosely model myself after Peter Bondra.

1. I have loved being on this team. I think it has been a good fit for me and look to do good things going forward. 2. There could be many, but I will pick Coldplay's Trouble. 3. I think we are gearing up for a repeat. I think the energy is good and I can't wait for this season to start. 4. If it is done right, Philly cheesestakes are the best thing ever. Got to get it with peppers and onions. 5. I expect my player to be a top-middle player... maybe even one of the top players if I can keep my TPE earnings up. There is a lot of talent coming down from the VHLE, so I know it is going to get tough on the leaderboards. 6. Every year, I play in a tournament in Phoenix, which is pretty much the highlight of my year. It is a fun all-skill-level hockey event where you get drafted on to a team and play 5 games over 2 days. It is a blast.

1. We will need to rely on the whole team sticking together like they have all season. We have a good group here, we just need to take it across the finish line. 2. Score often. We have the best goal-scorers in the league right now, we need to keep the petal to metal and keep it up. 3. That's a tough question since I think Vegas has a pretty solid team. If anything, I think that their offense is a bit softer than ours, but not by much. 4. Honestly, I thought Mississauga had a lot of potential to make it. Mexico City was high on that list as well. Vegas was not a surprise. 5. I feel really good where I am right now. I am putting up great numbers and getting a lot of ice time. 6. I would probably do what Jack Johnson did and eat ice cream out of the cup. Or maybe just drink a really good bourbon out of it.

1. That would be pretty sweet, but the race is tough with only a few points separating the top 3 teams. I think we can do it. 2. To tell you the truth, I am pretty focused on our team and don't know who is out there. That being said, I think we have a pretty solid team. 3. I would put myself on the shortlist for needing to step up. I have been playing well, but I can do better. 4. I would say it is a combination of both. I think right now, it is just staying focused on completing the season. 5. Being from a small town, everyone knows who you are. As I have been progressing in my career, the fan base is growing and the support is definitely there. 6. I love comedies that can be serious as well, so I would have to say SCRUBS.

1. I am very excited about this season and am honored to be with the Reapers. 2. That is a tough one. I am hoping it is me, but it will probably be You're Not Fucking Retiring. 3. I would have to say that we are pretty light on defense. Adam Joy and Leifr Eiriksson are holding down the fort, but I think they need some players to spread out the load. 4. Being a goal scorer, I think that goals are important, but plus/minus is probably 5. I don't really know who I would say since I have not done any scouting, but check out answer #3 for where we should be looking. 6. Crepes are much more than thin pancakes. They are like tortillas that taste like pancakes that you can fill with stuff.
