Both posting in this thread for the raffle, and still being grumpy about dropping in the M draft. >.> <.< >.> Bah-humbug.

Hey yeah, friends? I'm not a defensemen... But you did call where I went exactly right, so I'll let it slide.

1. Clearly her biggest impact is bringing me here. But more honestly, I think the thing that really stood out for me was how interactive, engaging and active she helped make the lockerroom seem. She was very good at getting some form of interaction going. 2. Not in ProAM because I am a silly goose. But maybe the WJC. I'm still adjusting to everything with the game, so it's taking a moment to relearn everything. 3. Honestly think I'm going to go with a non-Leafs answer here and go with the two most recent phenoms. Michkov has been absolutely killing it, and Bedard has... impressively fallen flat. Though he also doesn't have... well. Teammates. 4. As a Canadian, I feel like I have to answer the Nordiques. I think bringing back the Quebec rivalary would be pretty damn dope. 5. Lays baked BBQ, or really any kind of kettle chip. Recently had some Doritos that were Cool Ranch mixed with Intense Dill that was pretty good. 6. Listen, I know my answer is technically a present, but I'm a rulebreaker. The answer is new socks. Gosh I've become a boring adult. But fine, if it isn't socks then, my answer would be Peppermint Bark.

Congrats!

1. The community! It's nice to meet and talk with new people who share a similar interest. 2. Unironically... I really like the Leafs Black/Blue Next gen jerseys. They look so nice to me, idk why. 3. Crispy Chicken Meal and a JBC from Wendy's. It hits the spot. 4. My dog walked over to me, jumped into my lap, farted and then hopped back down and walked away. 5. I miss Auston Matthews. But otherwise they are doing... middling. Just looks like a repeat of every other year and will probably be another first round exit. 6. I'm not sure. Its hard to count out the Oilers after the run they went on last year. Winnepeg can beat any team thats not Toronto. And on the other side its hard not to pick a team from the Atlantic. Probably go with... Vegas and Florida I guess.

1. I'd probably split it evenly between DC and OV. While I am trying to tend towards being a more offensive player, I don't want it to come at the cost of defence. 2. The Matthews ear to the crowd celly. Gotta get them pumped up! (Nothing happened after he did this. The game ended. Shush.) 3. Silky. Since I'm probably an anomaly for how much I like PH as a stat, I think this words represents best. 4. GIVE ME MORE ARCANE. Sorry. Ahem. Yes, more of Arcane season 2 is what I am looking forward to watching. 5. I would pay off my debts, and then probably go on a vacation. Take my sister and nieces with me as well. 6. Okay I know this sounds weird, but a local pizza place lets you put pickles on pizza, and it somehow just works. I kind of love it.

1. It's great! Especially as a forward, it's good to know that if you make a mistake you have a solid last line of defence back there that can cover for you. And all it takes it an occasional meal to make up for it. 2. I have no idea. I feel like with the tough schedule coming up we are going to drop a little bit. Unfortunately I have a feeling we will finish in the 5 slot. 3. Well as stated previously, having two strong goaltenders certainly helps. We also seem to have a good team defence mindset, including strong skating and backchecking. 4. Gotta go with the Marek Malik between the legs. It gets some laughs if you miss, and embarrasses the goalie if you score. So either way it's a win win. 5. Gotta wrap with the pride tape before every game. Each stick, individually done. Trainers not allot to touch my sticks until they are done. 6. Canadian Smarties. It's like M&Ms, but Canadian, and therefore better. Also they come in boxes which make for easier consumption.

In this image, Hater's brother, Tater Tottingham, appears in the clouds, Mufasa style, to pass on the knowledge that his fore bearer, Tater Tot, had passed on to him. This isn't a run on sentence, I don't know what you mean. I am sorry for yet another cursed graphic.

1. I'm beyond impressed actually. Didn't think I'd be third in points on the team by this point- also very well disciplined for someone named Hater. 2. To be fairrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr... Bone-Breaker is still second on the team in penalty minutes in nearly a third less of the games played as everyone else, so I think losing them was a net gain for the team defensively. That being said, we don't have many forwards getting in front of pucks, so if we make more of a team effort to do so, I think it would certainly help. 3. Well my family namesake are potatoes, so I think I'd have to do something involved with that. Maybe bacon stuffed baked potatoes? Carb load and tack in a little bit of protein as well. 4. I don't know, but I'm a sucker for Pastel colours. So maybe like a soft pastel baby blue (#C3EEFA), and just black to contrast it? I think that'd look pretty dope. 5. Unironically Space Jam. The first one, not that Lebron James bastardization. Would love to see a different sports version though. Ohtani? Crosby? Rinaldo? I think it'd be fun. 6. I do! Rocket League will always be a go to for me. Keeps the hand-eye on point and keeps me with the competitive spirit during downtimes in the schedule or during training. Gotten pretty good with playing it while on the treadmill too!

1. Well as of writing this we've gotten up to .500 at least, so we're already seeing improvements. I think a playoff spot is just out of reach, but as long as improvement is seen throughout the year, its a successful season! 2. Our strength definitely is the locker room. Its very active, friendly, welcoming and engaging! Well our most recent weakness appears to be counting, but overall I definitely think it's discipline. Too many penalties! 3. We are, but as someone who both plays on the PK occasionally, and only has 4 PIM on the year- I don't mind the extra ice time. 4. Well right now I'm on a .5 point per game pace (about) and I think that continuing wouldn't be too bad. So 18 goals, and 18 assists for a total of 36 points. 5. Well, since we are all about BOATS... I'd have to go with Italy, specifically Venice. Lots of boating to be done- and some pretty good food and culture to boot! 6. Unfortunately, my Leafs. Some days, they look like gods. Others they look like ECHL players. And unfortunately, it looks more like the latter than the former. But, they play well when no-one expects them to, so its always a damn coin flip.

1. Considering I am extremely new to the team, I am not so sure yet. Though I suppose making friends and getting to play with someone called BoneBreaker seems like quite the thrill! 2. I don't know. I hear they almost accidentally gave it away to a frog. Controversy is not a good start to Captaincy! 3. Finish top 5 in scoring on the team. I think that would be a fairly successful rookie season! 4. Primary points. As an offensively minded player, points are the best judge of how you are doing- and primary points are even more so a good representation of such. 5. I'm not sure? Maybe Privateers? Apparently during the war of 1812, Halifax was an important trading hub for Privateers. And it still fits the BOAT GANG catch phrase. 6. I only think they should remove fighting in the times when the other team has better and/or more face punchers and hit givers. If we have the better or larger amount of face punchers and hit givers, then it should stay in the game.

Convenience? Back in my day...

Wait what? I DONT LIKE CHANGE

Thanks! I look forward to the GM spam!
