42. @Pifferfish has created a new drug that makes you a better VHL player. What is it? What’s it called and made from?
43. @ThePerfectNut was seen in a new commercial. What was it about??
44. You just voiced a character in an upcoming movie. What was the movie and your role?
45. If a genie appeared and granted you one wish, what would you wish for?
46. What is your “dream” vehicle?
47. if your player had to be a WWE character, what would their name be? Yw, hogan.
48. If your player was an evil movie character, what would their name be?
49. If you had to bet on your player doing something next sim, what would you bet on them doing??
42. It's called Performa-Ade and it's actually just ground up viagra mixed with raspberry flavoured Biosteel.
43. A commercial for winter tires where they compare a car's ability to handle icy roads to Daniel Weaver's ability to deke motherfuckers on the ice.
44. Naturally Sax Justice was cast in the titular role as Harry in a remake of Harry and the Hendersons.
46. Like many young men I briefly went through a period in my teenage years where I lusted after cool looking aggressive and fast sports cars. Now I just want a reliable, economical thing that can carry whatever passengers and cargo that I require in comfort. I drive a 10 year old Ram 1500 with a shitty mismatched canopy and it does exactly what I need and want it to do.
47. I mean, Sax Justice is already basically a WWE name.
49. Going pointless and -1 in a game that we win 4-3.

27. MILESTONE! @ThePerfectNut scores their first as a Seattle Bear. It also happens to be the 100th of their career. How did the team celebrate the occasion with Weaver that night?
28. SVM @youloser1337 has 22 shots in 4 games (0 goals, though!) from the blue line so far. Predict their goal amount at the end of the season!
29. Thoughts on Seattle's start to the season?
30. Thoughts on your players start to the season?
31. @oilmandan currently has a shooting % of 25%. Even if it goes down.. how did their aim get so good???
32. A wicked witch leaves a baby at your doorstep. You give it to the VHL Commissioners. They name it and raise it. What's the kids name? What happens to them?
33. A team in the VHL wants to "separate" and become their "own league". We've heard this before, hey? What team is it and what are their plans?
34. If you had to see a team be removed from the league and replaced with a VHLM team, which would be removed and which would replace it? Why?
35. What is a VHL player build that could be so ridiculous it might just work?
27. The captain made a very brief speech and had a toast at the restaurant after the game. Naturally being a milestone goal, the trainer had saved and labelled the puck so that one can go on the mantle.
28. While my rudimentary knowledge of statistics suggests that he will have zero goals at the end of the season, I'm going to suggest that his shooting percentage should at some point approach normality and I'm going to say 17 goals.
29. Our record is fine, but I worry that we're winning a lot of close games, and haven't showed much dominance, so it will probably be a dogfight all year.
30. Absolute career average kind of stuff for Sax Justice. He'll never be "the" guy that leads the offense, but he'll chip in on the second line while playing responsible defense.
31. You should see the banged up old clothes drier in their parents' garage.
32. The kid's name is a Samuel Henry Ledger, or SHL for short. He grows up to join a rival sim league.
33. Due to the current geopolitical climate in the world, I assume Moscow is going to start their own league.

WHAT'S UP Wranglers?! I finally did the thing and made a graphic for these PCs I make. As nice and simple this one is (and I like it) I might end up making a new one sometime down the line...we'll see.
1. Congratulations to @vincentlg2007 on his promotion to GM for the Mississauga Hounds! Did any of you have a prediction of who would've been selected?
2. How many more times will teams get VLG'd this season? Will they ever learn?
3. Who's scoring the team's first hat trick?
4. What's the weirdest thing your player has seen Lindbergh do between the posts?
5. How would you rate my PC banner?
6. What's for breakfast?
1. Had no predictions, but as a Hounds alum, best of luck!
2. You fools! You're playing right into his hands!
3. Janser?
4. Skate to the bench for a fresh water bottle... while playing was live and the puck was in the other zone.
5. Love it, really classes up the place.
6. Eggs Benedict obviously. Unless it's GameDay, in which case oatmeal. Horses need oats.

Calgary Wranglers Press Conference
Week Ending April 9, 2023
1. What's up, Wranglers! Another week of off-season shenanigans (which has actually been exciting for me) and hopefully we'll be comin' out swingin' for the start of Season 88! What does your player miss most right now?
2. All drafts have been completed! Our GM @Ricer13 drafted goalie Merome Dilson @MexicanCow123, forward Mason Rice @Sawyer13, and forward Robert Boldy @The Goblin. Welcome, future prospects! How do you feel about our picks? Future prospects -- How excited are you to play for Calgary when your time comes?
3. Were there any other exciting picks from the VHL, E, or M?
4. Merchandising has decided to make a bobblehead for your player! First 500 lucky fans on opening night will receive one. How is your player posing?
5. Are Swedish Fish in Sweden just fish?
6. Do you stay properly hydrated throughout the day?
1. Mostly I miss the sims. Our locker room activity has been steady over the off-season, so I just want to be able to check the box scores every day to see how our team does.
2. I know Cow is a veteran user, and I'm not familiar with the other guys, but Calgary has a strong team culture to encourage activity and earning so I have absolute faith that they will all be good picks.
3. I barely pay attention to what our team did, I have absolutely no idea about the rest of the bigs or the minor leagues.
4. The classic hockey card pose, stick held horizontally behind the head, making the whole body into a bit of a flex pose.
5. Yes, but this doesn't change the fact that they are swedish.
6. I drink a lot of water. Unfiltered tap water. Love it. Can't get enough of it. Get it in me.

Week Ending March 12, 2023
1. Playoffs officially kickoff this week following the wild card games! How's your player's mental right now?
2. Game 1 shut out?
3. How do you think your player will fare in the playoffs?
4. Who on the team do you think will score a hat trick? Fake bonus points if you can correctly guess against which team.
5. When was the last time you used a payphone, if ever?
6. What book would you love to see a movie adaptation?
1. Feeling good. It's almost a shame to not have to play in the wild card round as the team that we eventually play might have some momentum, while we might have some rust. Need to prepare mentally to not be slow out of the gate.
2. Tough to say, in the tight checking playoffs I expect it to be low scoring, but the competition will be a close match for us.
3. Same as he did in the regular season - Sax will pick up some proximity points just because he gets to be on the ice at the same time as Janser and Wolanin, both those guys will do the scoring while Sax will try to be a water-carrier and responsible two-way player.
4. Janser, easily.
5. Probably been at least 15 years since the last time I used one. Ever since mobile phones became ubiquitous, payphones are kind of obsolete.
6. The Dragonlance Chronicles trilogy.

1. Lindbergh was a mad man in the game against the LA Stars! Do you think we can help him get at least 10 more shutouts before the season ends?
2. As of this post, we're 3rd overall in the standings with 23 games played. We're almost a 3rd of the way through the season already... Do you think we can overtake the #1 position at this rate?
3. Went to a shootout against Helsinki, who is at the bottom of the standings... We won, but scary that it had lasted so long to take home the W. What could we do better next time?
4. Does your player do anything before the game for luck?
5. Chocolate milk or orange juice?
6. Did you watch any of the NHL All Star events?
1. All the shutouts. Team defense. Block them shots.
2. It's not a matter of if, it's when. We're unstoppable.
3. It's a tight league, there are no gimme games. Gotta work hard every shift, you can't sleep on teams based on where they are in the standings.
4. Shotguns a Coor's Light after warmup but before the anthems.
5. I try not to drink a lot of calories, but I'd take chocolate milk. Rather than drink orange juice, you should eat an orange.
6. A few, not many. I prefer the classic events (hardest shot, accuracy, speed skating) to the gimmicky stuff, but I understand that they're trying to entertain kids of the Twitch generation.

1. The S86 World Cup champions are Team Western Europe! Congratulations to all players involved! Also, congratulations to Team Nordic (WOOHOO!) for Silver and Team Canada for Bronze! Who did you expect to win it all?
2. Now that the WC is over with, we have SIMS starting soon! The indexes are posted, simmers announced, and the calendar says...season starts Wednesday (Jan 25)! Are you nervous? Excited? Anxious? HYPED?!
3. If you're doing predictions this season, how do you think you'll do compared to last season?
4. Who do you think has the best celly on the team?
5. If you could be any kind of bird for a day, which would you choose?
6. Is VR the future?
1. Western Europe isn't usually a powerhouse in men's ice hockey, and it is equally surprising that they did well in an English language sim league. Actually, is my player from the UK? Might be.
2. Ready to rock and roll. Hockey is fun.
3. Regular season will be about the same for Calgary. Playoffs will be a little bit different.
4. Phil for sure. Doesn't get to bust it out very often though.
5. Northern Aplomado Falcon.
6. No, the future is meditation and introspection.

Week Ending January 22, 2023
1. It's training camp time! That means season 87 is just around the corner. How prepared is your player?
2. The drafts are also complete. Did you watch any of them go down?
3. The World Cup is upon us! Who are you rooting for?!
4. How pumped is your player for the new season?
5. What time do you usually go to bed?
6. What is your favorite day of the week?
1. Sax Justice showed up overweight, out of shape, and drunk. As usual.
2. Nope. Don't know anything about any of the drafts. I assume we got players?
3. Antarctica.
4. We've got Unfinished Business. I hope this doesn't age poorly.
5. Between 11pm and midnight if I'm hope and not busy with something.

Week ending December 18, 2022
1. The trade deadline is today (December 12th)! Do you think your team makes any trades, and if so, who?
2. What's your player's current weakness and how do you plan on making them stronger?
3. Who would you say is your team's conference rival and how has your team fared against them?
4. The season ends in about a week! Overall, how has your player been playing up to this point?
5. Have you even started your Christmas shopping?!
6. How cold is it supposed to be today?
1. I think we're set, but Ricer is a pretty active GM so who knows.
2. My player's biggest weakness is that his user doesn't earn lots of TPE, so he is constantly behind the power curve.
3. Seattle or Chicago, I don't pay a ton of attention to the rest of the league though.
4. About as expected. I just try to do my part to hold the line until we can get a skill guy out there.
5. Did a bunch of it earlier in the year, but I really should get on more of it.
6. Not sure about today, but yesterday it was -7C and a nice day for some pond hockey.

Press Conference for week ending Nov 13th 2022
1. What a wild draft!!! The Wranglers walked away with some great talent. Who has the highest ceiling of the drafted players?
2. How are you feeling about being drafted as a Wrangler? This can be for old and new team members!
3. If you could play for any other VHL team who would you want to play for?
4. What would make the VHLM experience better?
5. Who is your favourite NHL team?
6. What part of the world are you from!?!
1. Looks like we got a feast of good players. If I had to pick one, I think Adam Rage @MrMom is going to have a great career.
2. Happy to be drafted as a Wrangler! @Ricer13 inexplicably thinks highly of me and reached for my player way too early.
3. I'd play for any team. Don't get me wrong, Calgary is my preference, but I'm a mature enough person that I'd play anywhere. I like teams with active LRs though.
4. I enjoy the VHLM, but with my first player I was confused for a long time about the different ways to earn TPE, so maybe they could teach that a bit better.
5. I support the Vancouver Canucks, for better or worse (usually for worse).
6. Prince Rupert, BC, Canada. Northwest coast of Canada, at the tip of the Alaska panhandle.
-
1. It's Game 7 of the Continental Cup finals, in overtime, and the Calgary Wranglers are awarded a penalty shot. Who would you want the Wrangler taking the penalty shot to be?
2. You just got rocked by a hit from behind from some thug on the other team. Who is the first Wrangler on the scene dropping his gloves and coming to beat the shit out of the guy that hit you?
3. It's All Star Weekend, and your player.... was not selected to appear in the All Star Game. How are you spending your days off with no practices or games?
4. Some players age like a fine wine, while others are a candle that burns brightly but for a shorter time. How is your player planning on staying relevant when they hit regression?
5. What should your General Manager @Ricer13dress up as for Halloween?
6. Who is going to win the Stanley Cup, and why is it the Vancouver Canucks? -

Week ending 9/18
1. The VHL season is underway, your thoughts?
2. NFL season up starting up again are you watching?
3. What is a player in the VHLM or E you can’t wait to see in the big leagues
4. What is your favorite VHLM team
5. Who is your favorite VHL player besides yours?
6. What VHL “era” do you think was the best and why?
1. It is. Are we doing good? I don't know! I think we're doing okay. A little above .500 I think?
2. I'm not a huge NFL. I'm in Wranglers fantasy, but barely pay attention. I used to be into it more, but I watch hockey, baseball, soccer, curling, and Canadian football more than I watch NFL.
3. Ty Justice because the only thing better than Justice is Double Justice.
4. I've got a soft spot for Saskatoon because I played for them with one of my players, and also my mom and her family are originally from Saskatoon.
5. Whatever Phil's current player is, Phil is a fucking beauty.
6. I've only been around since S75, but the league seems like it's in an okay spot right now.

Week ending (9/11)1. The VHL 15th birthday raffle winners should be announced by the time most of you answer this, so did you win anything?
2. Do you think the VHL could/should add a stamina stat and stop it from automatically being 99?
3. What is a old VHL team/brand that you would like to see come back?
4. Do you think the VHL should add more ways to earn TPE
5. If your a gm would you rather draft a play that has a lot of TPE but didn’t perform well in the VHLE/M, or a player that performed really well in the minors but doesn’t earn much TPE?
6. How did you spend your Labor Day, if it’s celebrated in your country?
7. What is your process for picking predictions for the VHL each season?
1. Don't think so, but I also don't think I entered.
2. The league would probably need to condense a whole bunch, right now it seems like most teams only have 10 skaters.
3. Quebec City, because they've lost an NHL team and a VHL team.
4. One more "easy" 2 point task would treat me right, since I don't really do tasks for VHL, on weeks where I don't have an affiliate task from PBE to claim I usually miss out on 2 points.
5. TPE is probably king, performance is luck based (unless their build is whack).
6. Haven't done much so far, but might go fishing for a few hours with my kids despite the terrible weather.
7. I look at what other people are doing and shamelessly copy it.

Week ending 9/4
1. We have added some new piece from the draft what are your thoughts?
2. How much of a effect do you believe free agency has in the VHL.
3. What are your thoughts on all of the open GMing positions we have seen this season?
4. Are you in the Calgary fantasy football league, if so do you believe you will win?
5. Do you coke or bake is so what?
6. Does the VHL have a burnout problem?
1. You can never have enough players named Justice.
2. Quite a bit, but the salary cap is also a part of that.
3. Not sure if it's coincidence, or if there is something going on behind the scenes that is making people want to quit.
4. I am, and DollarAndADream is going to win for sure, based on the fact that he hasn't made a single pick yet.
5. I make a lot of homemade pizza. I used to also make a lot of beer.
6. I'm not sure... it's not my primary sim league, so I have never given full effort to this one. I will say that I am starting to get burned out on sim leagues in general.

week ending 8/28
1. The playoffs are almost over, do you feel the VHL should adjust the playoff format, if so how?
2. What would you say the VHL could add that would enhance the sim hockey experience?
3. Would you rather get a GM job on a team that’s really good that already is competitive and has a winning history, or a rebuilding team you need to rebuild?
4. With fall falling upon us what do you look forward to in the new season?
5. Do you know any other languages besides your main language?
6. Tell us who your favorite NHL team is and why?
1. I think the playoffs are about the right length, I don't think a change is needed.
2. This one is a pipe dream for the VHL, but one of my favourite things about the PBE is that with OOTP as our sim engine we get to actually "watch" the games play out instead of just seeing a text summary of the game.
3. Rebuild
4. My player getting back on to the Calgary Wranglers!
5. No, unfortunately. English is my first and only fluent language. I know a tiny bit of French, but not enough to have a meaningful conversation.
6. Vancouver Canucks as they are my nearest team, and my Dad was also a supporter.

1 hour ago, Ben said:
1. Well the season is over, but what do you look forward too for next season?
2. How much do you think salary cap effects VHL teams?
3. Do you believe being a really good GM in the VHLE would transfer to being a GM in the VHL?
4. If you’re hiring a GM for a VHL team would your rather choose someone who has experience AGMing a VHL team, or some who was a GM for the VHLM?
5. What is a funky fact about you that you wouldn’t mind sharing with the team?
6. How much do you believe size matters, in hockey?
1. Next season I think that Sax Justice is going to be joining the Wranglers, so I'm pretty excited about that.
2. Tons, I think? I stay out of management in this league, but I think the salary cap makes it really competitive.
3. Not as much as you might think, being a VHL GM you need to think long term, whereas in the E you are only going to have players with you for a much shorter time.
4. AGMing a VHL team I think.
5. The music I listen to is 90% melodic power metal.
6. In real life? Quite a bit. You can't teach size. And while there are are guys like Quinn Hughes or Brad Marchand that aren't huge and are successful, there are also guys like Tyler Myers or Hal Gill that largely have an NHL career because they are big. In VHL/STHS, I have no idea if height/weight is a factor.

6. Would your rather live forever, or die tomorrow?
1. This season is the appetizer, next season will be the main course.
2. No, not at all. I'd have to know the name of another player in the VHL for that to happen.
3. Probably getting drunk, he is a hockey player after all.
4. Not sure, maybe some sort of weekly game or activity?
5. No idea, my guy was in the VHLE this season, but is now at like 325 TPE so I guess that means he has to go up to the bigs next season?
6. Live forever I guess.

Not sure? The game index bot on discord hasn't been working for a while so I haven't been checking scores.
2. I'm embarrassed to admit that I know almost nothing about real life Stockholm. I'd love to learn more about it though.
3. The speed and intensity, the puck control, and most important the working together with your teammates at a fast pace.
4. I play recreational ice hockey, curling, and softball. I also enjoy video games and homemade pizza. Also a lot of (too much?) drinking.
5. Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future because it's the greatest television program of all time.
6. Morning skate for sure. Wake up, breakfast, head to the rink, grind out a hard practice, shower, then maybe team meeting/coaching session/film review, lunch with the team, then back home for an afternoon nap, back to the rink for snacks and dry land warm-up before suiting up and getting ready for the game.

4. What is your favourite nhl team?
5. Who do you think has the best logo in the E? Why do you think that?
6. does your player model their game after any other player? If so who if not who are they like?
1. Right about where I'd expect, putting up 3rd line type numbers.
2. The E seems very competitive. It's early, but the gap between the top and bottom teams is not very big.
3. Yeah, I'm excited to try it out, get a chance to experience a fairly new part of the league, meet some new people.
4. I have the unfortunate fortune of supporting the mighty Canucks of Vancouver.
5. All of the logos are great. I'd say either the Watchmen or the Red Wolves are my favourite.
6. Bo Horvat I guess? Strong two way center, not a bruiser but not shy about physical play, can kill penalties, not the fastest skater.
