1. Houston, cause they play dirty and were clean
2. I would go for McDavid to ask how to get good at skating
3. I take my clothes off and hit the sofa, watch some nasty cartoons 
4. My brother is next of kin, and he is kinda cool. He plays floorball in the national league
5. Small, compact, environmental car that doesnt pollute much. No Prius though
6. Pie, cake is risky because it can get dry very quickly
7. I would take control rather than take orders from anyone
8. He would write an essay about capitalism and how it is the superior way
9. One question short in the PC so I will ask myself about my players preference on women

1. I would call my boat the SS Sexual Experience
2. Something radical and never before seen not to forget our color scheme totally
3. Good minutes baby, that was all I was after
5. Yes it has actually, I tried out vegetarian food for the first time ever in a restaurant and I might legit order it again
6. Why me so shorty?
8. I have actually not have had any compliments so far, waiting on my first one for a thousand years...

Nice. The intensity of colors hit me hard in a good way and the tint on the back of the right side is really nice. Font works here well and highlights are fine
 
8/10

We will see how your predictions will go ahead into the postseason
 
10/10

10/10, one of the best articles right now in here. I like how you present good statements after claiming how a team had either risen or fallen. Depth evaluations are always good for both good and bad for guys to figure out whats wrong or either whats good. Tldr done very professionally and im looking for more

I love this for many reasons. Its fresh, its new and its Well executed. Brings me back to times when I was super into history back in school. I might even bring back some old scrappy books from the shelf solely of this inspiration
 
10/10 would read again and again

1. What are you player's plans during this off-season?
- Plan is to get to know as much people as I can. Wanna get more involved in this scene cause im loving it so far
 
2. Halloween was just a few days ago, did your player dress up and go trick-or-treating? Did they eat any candy?
- I didnt as I was hospitalized, i slipped in the shower and broke my tailbone. Painful asf, if u needed to know and was laying on my stomach for almost a week. I had a nice hazelnut bar though
 
3. After a long, hard fought season, a player can often forget about mental health. What are you (or your player) doing to maintain sanity?
- I do origamis. Might sound silly but its a great way to calm down and maintain your sanity whilst this lockdown
 
4. If your player needed to take on a part-time job during the off-season, what would it be?
- Washing dishes for sure. Easy, nonstop washing the dirty dishes and glasses and every other kitchen fear for hours straight is a way to make a living while doing something that gets you appreciated for doing
 
5. Are there any changes you'd like to see happen for S75?
- Im so unaware of everything so I dont even know whats going on. Change is welcome though 
 
6. As professional hockey players, we know that a well-balanced diet is important. One of the most important pieces of that diet is protein. What's your favorite cut of steak, and how do you like it done (raw --- well-done, in between)?
- I dont eat red meat so I eat fish instead. From fatty ones I like my salmon medium to medium plus depending on its cut and from a much leaner fish I like cod. Its Lean and tasty

Eeli Rantanen projects to be a player like his older brother Mikko. Unlike his brother he is much more into scoring. He had been idolizing Alex Ovechkin since his junior years. Currently undrafted and unpicked by anyone he relies himself the most since he has made his own path from the beginning
 
Pros:
Scoring - Eeli Rantanen has a massive wristshot, unlike any other player of his age. He grew up in same streets as Patrik Laine did and they held many gatherings in the local ice rink of Tesoma where they shit a few hundred pucks a night many times a week
Movement - Rantanen knows where to be at the time to score. His eye on offense is immaculate and he relies heavily on his teammates to clear some ice for him to get open, which he does very well
Strength - He is 5'7 or 170centimeters tall and weighs in at 88kilos or 194lbs with an absolute work of art of a frame. Clearly his fitness and strength training during his peewee times have paid off because this guy is a tank
Skating - they trained a ton of Shooting with Laine but they also kept their skating skills matched. They often tried to race around the rink to see which one of them was faster. Eeli won most of the races by nearly almost 4 seconds every time. Patrik won a few races here and there but Eeli learns from his misyakes very easily and isnt going to lose a second time
 
Cons:
Defensive game - Rantanen isnt the most talented guy to what comes to defending. Seems like he always had a mentality that defenders would handle defending along with other forwards in his line
Passing - Eeli is a goal hogger by nature. Whenever he gets the puck he will look to shoot, which might come an issue as the season gets longer, when his teammates get frustrated when he doesnt share the responsibility. These kinds of things affect the locker room atmosphere, you know
Leadership - This guy is still young and is looking to improve but my god what an awful leader this guy is. Being a Child its not easy to act accordingly from time to time but on the rink you have to maintain your calm. Eeli Rantanen might get frustrated easily if his team is losing, and he is not giving enough in that situation, letting his team down himself which might End up in them losing by a much bigger marginal. 

Eeli Rantanen was born in Turku but was quickly shipped to Tesoma when his parents divorced roughly when he was just 7 years old. Having played since he could walk it was obviously a massive setback to leave his favourite club, TPS, to join a club in Tampere. Tappara and Ilves were the obvious candidates and he had his tryouts to both teams but he didnt like the locker room atmosphere there. He was bullied for being from a city that the locals hated. Management wanted him in both of the teams but he refused. After a long search he landed in KooVee, a lesser known team with a promising youth program. In his first season there he faced difficulties in adapting to new teammates and their style of play. He didnt do much for a few years because he "didnt feel like doing so" - but when he hit age 14 and really started to give a damn again he met Patrik Laine Who he went to high school with. He had no idea of him playing hockey before their first outdoors gym classes where he saw him playing hockey properly. They befriended quickly and started to hang out more and more getting Eeli more and more excited about hockey for the first time in ages. When he heard that Patrik played for Tappara, he immediately switched teams
 
In their first season together at Tappara, they scored a whopping 94 goals in Total from the same line. Laine scored 51 and Eeli 43 in 45 games. Sadly they didnt make the playoffs as other guys from the team were absolute garbage, playing there because they were forced to. Second season the guys changed to much older player class and it paid off. It was their glory days as they scored 164 goals in total, Laine scoring 67 because of an injury and Eeli scoring the rest 97, more than doubling his goals in a season. From there on it was crystal clear that Eeli was a prodigy to look upon. Laine was drafted to Winnipeg Jets to the NHL but Rantanen missed a draft because of his size. Apparently 170centimeters is not enough for the NHL, but still players like Nathan Gerbe play there. From there on Eeli hated Nathan from the bottom if his heart. Instead Eeli would pursue a different league, VHL, starting from the minors. He was picked up by Mississauga fays after the draft was concluded and is looking to countinue scoring like an absolute animal there. 

Eeli Rantanen, the one that got away in the NHL draft has chosen his path to pursue pro hockey players dream in VHL. Currently undrafted Rantanen is rumoured to be signed to the Mississauga Hounds for his first season before the upcoming draft concludes. We managed to catch him in Helsinki-Vantaa airpott before his flight to the US. 
 
So, why did you leave your NHL dream to pursue VHL? 
- Easy, they didnt appreciate me like they should have. Im as good as Patrik Laine on the ice but im several inches smaller and slightly lighter than him but other than that im as good as he is. It makes me furious how people undermine size. Take Nathan Gerbe for example, playing in the NHL and he is way smaller than me. That makes me furious how hypocrite some of the GMs are in the NHL
 
Are you excited to leave abroad to play hockey? 
- Of course, its a whole new chapter in my career. I have only played here in Finland and the same halls every other week have started to make me sick. Hell, I might even know every janitor of every skating hall here, so a change in that is a pleasant one
 
Do you have any pressure being little brother to Mikko? 
- I dont know where these accusations come from. Mikko is very talented young player, and so am I. But we are way different in style of play and we of course are not going to play in the same league so I dont think that really matters. So the answer is a fat no. Now ive got a plane to catch, so im done here
 
Thank you Eeli and good luck!
