1. Twenty would be my stretch goal, no pun intended, but more realistically at least 10

2. Henry Tucker Jr! Hope I get to score on him sometime soon. We came up together.

3. Nikolas Kauppi. I brought him into the league, and the guy tries to hit me constantly. Can you believe that?!

4. The Toronto Skyline as a castle. The CN Tower would make a great Turret. ( I think that is what they are called)

5. The Jr Chicken. It's got the tinnnnnny bit of kick that is nice. I tried the Big Mac Chicken and was not impressed.

6. I have never been and I don't really plan on going. Traveling is too damn expensive!

Welcome to Toronto @Trunkxolotl

Thanks! Now I have another reason to make an abomination of a signature!

Wow, I was here for a whole 20 games and I didn't win every award? This is anti-potato propaganda and I will not stand for it.

Wildcard round  (Joker round!?!?)

 

 

Here we are at the end of the first round or play in round of the play-offs called this weird and wonderful think about cards; not sure that it is a joker card or not but it should be called this instead of the Wild as it doesn`t really live up to that name. Joker sounds better; right?

Either way we are back with another press conference, so answer three questions for one TPE or all six for two TPE. As always have fun!!

 

 

1.Seattle Bears & Chicago Phoenix went the distance with Seattle winning in Wildcard (Joker) series in over-time in the fifth game. Did this surprise you and what do you think of our chance against Seattle Bears in the first round?

 

 

2. Riga Reign in my books upset the Warsaw Predators in the other Wildcard (Joker) series. Did you expect Riga to upset Warsaw in the wildcard and do you give them any chance against Moscow Menace in the first round?

 

 

3. What do you call a bear without an ear?

 

 

4. What do you call a bear caught in the rain?

 

 

5. Why are Teddy bears never hungry?

 

 

6. Oh, did you know that the other leagues are also playing in the play-offs at the same time as the VHL? This surprised me as our prospect Oreo McFleury is also in the first round with Oslo Storm currently down 0-2 to Stockholm Vikings; Can the Oreo McFleury and the storm make a blizzard out of the Viking to get back into the series? Why or why not?

 

Yes, I know the first two games have been played;

And no I don`t want to talk about it until after we come back and win the series!!

1. I'm honestly very surprised Seattle made it out. Chicago and them had similar points in the standings but Seattle had a much worse goal differential. Though considering how they've played us the first two games, I'm guessing that they made some adjustments and found something that works for them, and the GD didn't have a chance to adjust.

2. I mean, I picked Riga to win in fantasy, so yes. I believe in the power of Mr Henry Tucker. I mean, I have to. He learned how to goalie from me! Moscow seems strong though, but I believe in Tucker to carry.

3. It's a Bee. Cause Bear-ear= B. It's clever. Kind of.

4. A drizzly bear! Get it? Like grizzly.. but rain? Rain is sometimes called a Drizzle? Fo shizzle? Ha...ha.... ha

5. Because it's stuffed! Like both literally with... I don't know what bears are stuffed with. Imitation cotton? Either way, I was promised riddles and instead I get jokes. Rude

6. I figured they would be playing as well. As for Oslo vs the Vikings, I have a soft spot for both teams so it's kind of hard to pick. I'm cheering for the series to go the full length, because I think that'd be the most exciting. But its hard not to cheer for someone called Oreo

Nope, don't like that.

Why am I the way that I am?!

Final Count down

 

 

The season end is just around the corner with five games remaining in the regular season so today we are going to look at the play-off picture and maybe a few other things but who knows at this point. Either way we are back with another press conference, so answer three questions for one TPE or all six for two TPE. As always have fun!!

 

 

1. Vancouver Wolves are officially Victory Cup champions with five games remaining in the season, did winning the Victory Cup surprise you? Why or Why not?

 

 

2. At this time, it looks like Seattle Bears and the Chicago Phoenix are going to play in the North American Conference wildcard with the winner playing (us) Vancouver in the first round. Who would you like to meet in the first round? Why?

 

 

3. Calgary Wranglers and the LA Stars will play the other series. Who do you think wins the series? Why?

 

 

4. European Conference is a mess with five of the eight teams fighting for the play-offs & Wildcard spots. Who do you think makes the play-offs between Malmo, London, Warsaw, Prague and Riga?

 

 

5. Talking about the European Conference Play-off race; (We) Vancouver Wolves actually has complete control of one of the teams fate; Warsaw Predators as we play them three times in five remaining games. How do you think we are going to play them considering we have nothing to play for other than getting ready for the play-offs? Are we going to wreck them and destroy their play-off hopes or are we going easy and doing them a favor?

 

 

6. This week lets try a fill in the blank:

 

 

Vancouver Wolves will repeat as Continental Cup Champions if __________________________.

 

 

Want to finish by saying Great season Vancouver Wolves with a ton of personal best. Play-off are going to be tough but I Believe we can repeat so lets rest up and give them hell!!

1. Saying it surprised me is an understatement considering a few weeks ago I was on the opposite side of the standings.

2. Seattle! They seem a little worse defensively and we have a lot of firepower that should make it an easier match up. Then again, how things should go is rarely how they do go.

3. Hard to say. LA is currently on a nice little win streak, so my gut would say to go with the hot hand. Either way I think it would be a hard fought series.

4. Honestly I gotta go with my heart here. I hope Riga makes it solely for the fact that they have Tucker as their back-up. Him and I came up through the minors together.... and so did his father and my cousin. It was weird.

5. Warsaw, to use a baseball term, seems like a tough out. I don't think their playoff hopes are in our hands, they are in complete control of how that goes.

6. The temptation to go with the 'Real Gud Pro™' answer of 'Get pucks deep' is strong. But I guess it really comes down to if "our guys step up at the right time, cover each others mistakes, and play as a team."

Trade Deadline Snooze!!

 

 

When thinking about the trade deadline, I like to think about who is going to be traded where, who is going to load up for a play-off push and who is now content in tanking for a better draft position. What wait a second no one tanks; right? Well, this trade deadline seen only two teams buying really and not a lot of action on the trade front. Either way we are back with another press conference, so answer three questions for one TPE or all six for two TPE. As always have fun!!

 

 

 

1. Vancouver Management pulled the trigger on two trades at this year’s deadline; What did you think about the trades and do they improve the teams chance in the play-offs?

 

 

2. Seattle loaded up with two-star forwards in Vasile Lamb & Tavish DeGroot in two different trades; Do you think this makes them a better team and improves their chances at making the play-offs?

 

 

3. If you could complete a single trade for any team (NHL, VHL, VHLE, VHLM)  what would that trade look like? Why?

 

 

4. With all the trades in the NHL taking place around the same time as the VHL trade deadline has it made it more exciting or distracting following the two leagues? Did the NHL trades over shadow the VHL trades?

 

 

5. In the locker room the other day a bunch of the players were talking about their career high in stats this season. Have you set career highs this season and in what stats? Did this surprise you or was this expected?

 

 

6. Most season are filled with ups and downs; while Vancouver this season has seen more ups and seem to be just waiting for the play-offs. What do you prefer a dominating season where you are just in wait mode or would you like to battle more to just make the play-offs? Why?

 

Also Welcome to the team Tater Tottingham @Trunkxolotl;

I had a question based around your player but forgot to add it this week!!

1. I may be biased, but I think that one trade with Helsinki is a pretty good one. I hear we got a pretty damn good player, with a bright future.

2. I've been away from the league for a little bit, so to be honest, I'm not sure how Seattle has been looking, or how good those players are. But generally, if you add without losing anything significant, it increases your chances!

3. Patrick Kane at 50% retained to the Leafs for Kerfoot, Robertson and a mid to low draft pick. Or some how prying Varlamov from the Islanders at 50% retained to shore up the fact that Murray is probably going to be too much of an injury risk.

4. Yes. I am humble enough to admit that my team getting Ryan O'Reilly overshadows Vancouver trading for me. Stay humble.

5. No, this looks to be a sophomore slump kind of season for me, but that may have to do with my previous team not playing the greatest. I do have more power play goals this season than I did last?

6. Wait mode, as long as it doesn't bring with it complacency. The near guarantee to make the playoffs is always a plus. It also gives time to evaluate, find where strengths and weaknesses are and improve on them.

Following the former Tot's footsteps!
