Beketov

A bit of both. The Beketov agency has never had a defenseman so I was already a bit of an outlier. I knew from a get-go that switching over to forward was always going to be an option for me. Considering I’ve been nominated for top defenseman nearly every season, if not every season, but have never won it I figured it might be time to try my luck at a different position. Considering how well Pablo played last season and with the team bringing in Jokinen to boot I knew that we would be okay on defense so helping out on offense just made sense. It’s very hard to say. Normally his stats would be enough to get the job done for sure; especially with him being second all time in Shutouts (both career and in 1 season) and pretty high up in S% and GAA. However one’s award cabinet also needs to be taken into consideration. Sadly I think this is what might keep Jakab out of the hall. With only 1 Shaw and no cups his hardware is definitely lacking. I would love to see him go into the hall because I know he had a great career but as of right now I’m not sure if he will be able to make it or not. Well I’m on pace right now for 180 right? So clearly that’s what I’m aiming for! I kid, obviously I know I’m going to slow down but 5 points in my first two games as a forward (games against Seattle and Riga I might add) definitely has me feeling good going into the season. As far as expectations go I’m not sure sure but I’m hoping to be at least top ten in scoring if not top 5. We’re a strong team this season and I hope to be a big part of our offense. Ballpark wise on points I’m thinking somewhere around 110 or above would be good.

They are theme specific, all the themes just have them. If they aren’t done yet I’ll try to change it out tomorrow morning. @Will we also need the portal updated with the new index. Edt: nevermind, you said that, I should learn to read before posting haha. I should also figure out how the admin CP in the portal works and I might be able to help more.

Maybe we can have it without pesky Riga getting in the way this time haha

A guy can’t be dramatic for the sake of it? You went from a steady lead early in the season to third place. That’s far more plummeting than losing in game 7 when most of the games went to OT.

Ah, Seattle getting big heads from a flukey early win, where have we seen this before? Oh yeah, last season when they plummeted down to third. The shot totals tell the story here. Credit to @BluObieZ for stealing the game but V2A isn’t gonna save Seattle every time.

Apparebtly I should have discovered @boubabi‘s meta build years ago. Oh yes, he’s only 2nd all time time shutouts, what a terrible scrub, hardy har har

I should probably remember to amend that.

Well, that sucks. Shall we burn his sim version to the ground?

This engine appears even more unpredictable than our normal one haha.

Can’t stream tomorrow night so I’ll probably record a CoDCast instead. Questions? @der meister @Phil @tfong @Banackock @gorlab @JardyB10 @evrydayimbyfuglien @Jericho @DollarAndADream @Kendrick @Smarch @Beaviss @Devise

Man I’m not good at this lately. You’re supposed to still have it based off what I did. I’ll check again.

Potentially my last World Cup and it ends like all the rest with Sokolov, no gold

Not sure when it was either, I didn’t touch that one. Must not have been holding command or something. Fixed.

- You had a busy off-season, first being a restricted free agent and then being traded. Were you unhappy in Calgary? If so, why? - The Bears lost some pieces this off-season but made gains in other regards. Do you believe they can push for another finals appearance or perhaps a cup this season?

@Beaviss - Nearly everyone predicted you for Most Improved last season but you were unfortunately not nominated for the award. Why do you think your performance was not up the standards everyone expected from you? - The league has abolished the former awards for top leader and most sportsmanlike. Do you believe their replacements for top offensive D and best GAA best represent where the league's future lies?

New Week, new press conference. Leave me your questions gentlemen. Week of: Feb 19-25 Questions Asked: V2A / Keaton Louth (x2) / Mats Johnsson (x2) Answers

Calling it a joke is the oldest excuse in the book and it won’t fly. I don’t care what you call it, I call it racist. @boubabi has been placed on post moderation for the next 24 hours.

I assume it’s safe to say you accept your own offer?

He follows Crosby around.

Not denying that. I’m not saying the teams are the same. You just asked when it happened and it happened 3 seasons ago haha. It’s definitely not impossible. But thank you for thinking moving Sokolov was a good idea. I figured @jRuutu and @Kesler can hold their own on the blue line, they don’t need me holding them back. Seemed better to get some extra fire-power up front. Especially with a free re-roll being available.
