Happy birthday VHL!

Awesome man! That is a really cool graphic!

1. It does actually surprise me, we had started off so hot, but have cooled off lately. 2. Stamen, Pines, and Davis have all been our MVP’s so far into the season. 3. I am very excited. I haven’t played a VHL playoff game yet and hopefully we can go on a bit of a run. 4. My players performance is probably a 8. Fourth line minutes, doesn’t play too much, but makes the most of it. 5. My play style is Gritty. Hard forecheck and offensive abilities. 6. More of an introvert for sure. I’m a pretty quiet guy.

1. Possibly just add some depth upfront. I know cap space is tight so it might be a quiet trade deadline for us. 2. I would throw that 15 tpe into defence. I’m working on getting it to 90. 3. Team success is way more important. It’s all about winning as a team. 4. If it were to expand I would like to see a team in Montréal or even New Jersey. 5. question I hate being asked is; Can I see your ID? 6. I prefer to watch other game at home with a couple of beverages, can’t beat that.

1. We are in second place and it doesn’t surprise me because of how good our players are. We have strong defence and high end talent up front. 2. Probably just to be outgoing and having a positive attitude, just be someone people would like to talk to. 3. My go to hockey brand is Warrior. I always liked their sticks and gloves, the helmets are nice too. 4. My nhl comparison would probably be Timo Meier. Pretty decent offensively but will also check and play defence. 5. Good shutdown defence for sure. You can’t score goals if you can’t get to the net, defence wins. 6. number 13 has always been my lucky number.

1. 9/10. It’s always exciting when you have a fresh start, and I’m looking forward to the season. 2.Scoring ability, I have worked on improving in that category. 3. My biggest weakness I would have to say is my players strength. It isn’t where I want it and plan on improving on it. 4. I can’t say for sure, but hoping that we have more points than last year and can make playoffs. 5. Delay of game penalties. Some times it’s just bad luck that the puck goes over the glass and it doesn’t deserve a two min penalty. 6. I think Jeffrey Pines will lead us in points, possibly around 90 points or so.

let’s go boyss

1.FA opens soon, any targets stand out to you? This is my first season up in the VHL so I’m not really too aware of a lot of players here. 2. Who takes the scoring title for the team this season?Jeffery Pines is the guy I think takes the scoring title for us. 3. It's Nygren's last season, how many hits does he retire with?I think he will retire with at least 2100 hits after this season. 4. Which team looks the strongest right now?I think Malmo looks the strongest right now, lots of great players on that team right now. 5. Which team would you absolutely never play for?I wouldn’t want to play for Calgary, been there before and didn’t really like it. 6. Which NHL team is your favorite? Montreal Canadiens are my favourite nhl team!!

1.I’ve been keeping in shape for this playoff series and I’m just focusing on the next game, one game at a time. 2.It would be fun to be the GM of San Diego as it is such a beautiful city, also having the chance to build the team you want it would be cool too. 3. Yes a podcast would be nice to do, but I just do not have the time in my day to do, I am just to busy right now.I would probably name it something like the BigFin Podcast. 4.First off I am happy to be drafted to Los Angeles I love the city, but Helsinki is in my home country and everyone loves playing at home. 5. I would love to travel to Bora Bora one day. The islands are so nice and the water is so clear, it’s my dream spot for sure. 6. I would have to say add a team in the VHL to Milan. Northern Italy would be perfect for the next expansion team.

1) The Reapers swept Yukon in the opening round of the playoffs. How do you think the series went? I think it went well, we played great all around and we went 4-0 with the sweep, can’t complain at all. 2) Everyone agrees that playoff hockey is at another level. What is your favorite part of playoff hockey?The best part of playoffs is the intensity of the hockey and the speed it is played at. If you lose you go home, if you win you go on, so you always got that on mind. 3) The Reapers will face the San Diego Marlins in the next round. How do you think it will go?San Diego is a great team and should give us more of a challenge in this round, but I think we will come out on top in this series. Possibly 4-2 Philly. 4) The Marlins are led by their top defensive pair, Scotty Kaberle and Cowboy Prout, along with center Nero Endrizzi and forwards Red Lite and Maksim Yakolevsky. Anything you want to say to them or any other Marlin?They have some great players and all I gotta say is play hard and good luck because you’re going to need it. 5) The Reaper fan club left a Christmas gift for you at your locker. What was it?A box of Lindor chocolates, those are the best and it was a great gift. 6) Our organist is looking for new songs to play on the organ. What is your suggestion? Why?I would have to recommend Hell’s Bells, good pump up song and it relates to us as the Reapers.
