Press Conference for the week ending on Sunday September 13th.

 

1. Offseason is finally arriving, which means maybe one more week or two before season starts again. What's your routine when you don't have games before another 2 weeks?

2. Are you rooting for Helsinki or Seattle, in the VHL finals?

3. Talking of rooting, which bandwagon are you on in the NHL? Dallas, New York, Tampa Bay or Vegas?

4. It's a really good time for sports fans in general, with the NFL season starting this Thursday. Are you a fan of American Football? What teams do you like?

5. What are your favourite current TV shows?

6. And while we are here, what are your favourite older TV shows?

 

@TTtheT @MattyIce @SirRupertBarnes @Boragina @Biggreen10 @der meister @Ninjaboi @SeamusSv

1. Just relaxing and taking a break before the next season starts.

2. Seattle I guess. Not too familiar with either teams.

3. VEGAS. Always cool to see an expansion team be great.

4. Not really. More of a hockey/basketball guy.

5. Not really a traditional tv show, but I've been liking AEW lately. 

6. Don't really watch old shows.

I'm in

Press Conference for the week ending on Sunday September 6th.

 

1. In the league's first ever pity lottery tournament, we finished last from a group made up of the 6 worst teams in the league. Did you expect us to do so bad?

2. Did you enjoy the tournament anyway?

3. With the tournament now done, we are truly entering offseason mode. Suggest a trade we could make.

4. We're going golfing this weekend. Who do you think is the best among the United players and staff?

5. What's your favourite British insult?

6. I haven't read a book in ages. What's the last one you read?

 

@TTtheT @MattyIce @SirRupertBarnes @Boragina @Biggreen10 @der meister @Ninjaboi @SeamusSv

1. I thought we could win something, but I guess not. We'll be in the playoffs next season though.

2. The non-hockey things were nice, I guess.

3. A competent goalie for a bag of chips.

4. I think I'm pretty good.

5. Fookin _______.

6. I read the hunger games trilogy last week.

Press Conference for the week ending on Sunday August 30th.

 

1. Our inaugural season is pretty much done - we only have 3 games left as of Monday morning - which makes this a good time to look back and analyze what our performances this season. Did you think we'd be finishing 2nd to last in the whole league?

2. We only had issues with hooligans a couple of times throughout the season. What's your most memorable hooligan-related moment of the season?

3. What are you going to do during the offseason?

4. The team's front office said they wanted live performances from local artists during the intermissions starting next season to make United home games a one-stop, must-see, multi-dimensional, spectacle. Who would you like to see perform on the ice of the London Coliseum?

5. Talking of which, the London Coliseum sounds kinda bland. What sponsor should we pursue to give our arena a name with a unique feel?

6. Predict one award winner for next season. Could be any award, any player or team.

 

@TTtheT @MattyIce @SirRupertBarnes @Boragina @Biggreen10 @der meister @Ninjaboi @SeamusSv

1. It was very disappointing but not unexpected. We're a very young team, but at least things can only go up!

2. Someone threw a baguette at me..

3. Work on my game and relax.

4. Some rap, maybe.

5. Gucci Gardens sounds cool.

6. London winning the cup?

Press Conference for the week ending on Sunday August 23.

 

1) At this rate, it seems like none of the expansion teams will make the playoffs (including us). Who will you be pulling for, once the bracket begins?

2) London hosted this year's World Junior Championships, do you think the exposure to hockey will bring more fans into the stands?

3) While things aren't looking so hot this year, the United have a promising core that will look to break out in s74 and beyond. Who do you think will be the first to make their mark on the league as a whole?

4) If you could design a 3rd jersey for the United, what would it look like?

5) If you were the GM on draft day, which aspect of the team would you look to improve first?

6) If you could choose a goal song that best represents the team, what would it be?

 

@TTtheT @MattyIce @SirRupertBarnes @Boragina @Biggreen10 @der meister @Ninjaboi @SeamusSv

1. Probably Riga since they were my team before I was expansion drafted.

2. Yeah hopefully it brings in new fans.

3. James Rose.

4. Red and white. Maybe mix in some black to change it up.

5. A goalie.

6. Eye of the tiger?

Blockbuster trade edition.

(1) We sent Guy Lesieur back to D.C., do you think he will help them turn their season around?

(2) Are you going to stay in touch with Guy or is he now an enemy to you?

(3) The return in the trade was a conditional 1st round pick. It'll be this offseason if D.C. makes the playoffs, next offseason if they don't. So.. are you a Dragons fan now?

(4) Who stepped up for us now that our only veteran - and clearly our best player - is gone?

(5) Pretend we are getting an extra 1st round pick this season through this trade; what positions do you think your lovely GM picks with both 1st rounders?

(6) Who'll be our first player to get over 800 TPE now that we lost our only one?

 

@TTtheT @MattyIce @SirRupertBarnes @Boragina @Biggreen10 @der meister @Ninjaboi @SeamusSv

1. Hopefully so!

2. Off the ice I'm sure we'll keep in touch, but he's an enemy on the ice.

3. I guess I have to be.

4. James Rose for sure.

5. A goalie and a forward.

6. James Rose.

Oh cool

Press Conference for the week ending on Sunday August 9.

 

(1) 26 games in, we are 6 points behind an even record, and 6 points behind the Malmo Nighthawks. Can we pass them and finish 3rd out of 4 in our division? 

(2) How's the ambiance in the arena on game nights? Are fans pleased with our performances? Any sighting of hooligans?

(3) Hypothetical situation: Our top player Guy Lesieur is blindsided, a real cheap shot. Who steps up and defends him?

(4) What food would you not recommend from everything that's available at our home stadium?

(5) What would you have done with your life if you didn't become a professional hockey player?

(6) Rank melons from best to worst: cantaloupe, honeydew, watermelon.

 

@KC15 @TTtheT @MattyIce @SirRupertBarnes @Boragina @Biggreen10 @der meister @Ninjaboi @SeamusSv

1. I believe in us!

2. Someone threw tea at me when I missed a shot. 

3. The whole team!

4. Anything with aged cheese.

5. Probably would've coached.

6. Watermelon, honeydew, cantaloupe

Press Conference for the week ending on Sunday August 2.

 

(1) 13 games in, we are sporting a 5-8-0 record, good for 13th in the whole league. Did you think we'd manage to record 5 wins so fast?

(2) Due to an anti-tanking rule, we are forced to play to play a bot goalie named β-LDN G, pronounced BLEEDING, probably. He's actually better than both Park and Jaundice, so no harm done there, but how is it playing with an actual robot? Is it weird in the locker room? Does it shower with you guys?

(3) Who's your favourite S74 Draft prospect and why should we pick him or her?

(4) The points leaderboard is currently led by a pair of Los Angeles Stars veteran, Sigard Gunnar and Tyler Barabash Jr. Do you think they'll hold on to it? If not, who passes them and wins the scoring race?

(5) How are we doing better than D.C., what's wrong with them?

(6) Not really a question. Recommend me a song I have probably not heard before.

 

@KC15 @TTtheT @MattyIce @SirRupertBarnes @Boragina @Biggreen10 @der meister @Ninjaboi @SeamusSv

1. Nah not at all. I think it's great that we're surprising people.

2. At least he doesn't smell after a game.

3. Not really focusing on draft prospects but I trust McWolf to pick someone good.

4. Not sure if they stay up there but I don't know who else is really a candidate.

5. They don't have me

6. My Favorite Part - Mac Miller

Press Conference for the week ending on Sunday July 26.

 

(1) Regular season starts tomorrow, predict the score of our first game.

(2) What song should play when we enter the ice for our home opener?

(3) What is your objective for this season?

(4) If we could have selected an extra player in the S73 Entry Draft, literally anyone, who would you suggest we add to our roster?

(5) This is the expansion era, let's get crazy. Where does the league expand next?

(6) What was your first favourite video game? Mine was TMNT IV: Turtles in Time on the SNES. I played the heck out of it with my neighbors.

 

@KC15 @TTtheT @MattyIce @SirRupertBarnes @Boragina @Biggreen10 @der meister @Ninjaboi @SeamusSv

1. Uhh it already happened but let's pretend I don't know. I predict a 6-5 win.

2. Something londony for the home crowd.

3. To win ROTY.

4. A goalie.

5. Australia. 

6. First was probably Smash Bros.

Press Conference for the week ending on Saturday July 18.

 

(1) First things first, congratulations on joining what will soon be recognized as the best expansion team from the four that joined in Season 73. Great decision from you. Yes, it was your decision.

So, with that out of the way, our first question is a simple one: what are your thoughts on the team identity?

(2) Whether you were acquired by London from the Expansion Draft, the Entry Draft or via trade, were you surprised to join us before our first season?

(3) How do you think we will do this season? Honest answers only.

(4) What are you going to work on this offseason?

(5) What number are you going to wear this season? Any particular reason for it?

(6) And let's just learn a bit about our new players: are you a dog or a cat person, and why is the only good answer 'dog person'?

 

@KC15 @TTtheT @MattyIce @SirRupertBarnes @Boragina @Biggreen10 @der meister @Ninjaboi @SeamusSv

1. So far we're just an expansion team, but hopefully we can pull away and build a name for us.

2. I kinda had a hunch beforehand, but I didn't think I was going to go 1OA, so that was a surprise.

3. Probably not too well. We're young and we don't have a lot of TPE.

4. Strength and maybe scoring or defense.

5. Pretty sure I'll wear the same number as last season haha. Not sure what it was.

6. Dogs all the way.
