New PC Q's

(Week Ending 5/16)

1. The playoffs are over and the Seat Bears won the Continental Cup. What are your thoughts on how the playoffs ended and the cup winners?

I don't follow the playoffs unless my team is in it but I like the Bears color scheme so I'm happy they won.

2. What are your expectations for the upcoming season, Season 78?

We're going to contend for a playoff spot and hopefully we can sneak in. Just year 2 of the process.

3. What will you be doing now that the season is over and we are in off-season outside the VHL? 

Just playing video games and working out to prepare for the offseason.

4. The Season 78 draft is right around the corner. Who would you like to see join our prospect team or what position would you like to see filled?

The draft happened and we got a defenseman which is great. We seem to have an excess of forwards and not enough defensemen but there's still time.

5. Any motivational words for our future prospects to be?

Work hard and it won't matter where you got drafted. I wasn't expected to contribute a lot for Moscow and I turned out ok.

6. NHL playoffs are also right around the corner. Any specific matchups you are expecting or any matchup you would like to see?

The Penguins winning it all is what I'm excited about. Also the Bruins and Capitals having the two dirtiest players in the game means at least one of them will hopefully get some karmic justice.

 New PC Q's 

(Week ending 5/9)

 

1. The Draft Lottery Tournament is over, and we came last. After the last game, a reporter comes up to you and stupidly asks, "why did you guys suck?" What's your response?

If I knew why we sucked then we wouldn't have sucked.

2. If you answer before the lottery, which picks do you think we'll get? (We can get any combination of 2 picks between 1st and 3rd overall). If you're answering after the lottery, did we do well? Or did we get shafted?

We got 2nd and 3rd because clearly the sims hate Spartan.

3. There's been mild chatter in the LR about not having an official AGM for Moscow. Do you think I should hire one? Why?

As long as someone does the PCs we don't need one.

4. Now that we're in the offseason, what's your training routine like? 

Pretty much the same as it is during the regular season minus team practice. Video Games, Skating, Cardio, etc.

5. If you could play a prank on any player, prospect or staff member on Moscow, who would it be and what would you do?

I would trick all non Penguins fans by changing the team's name, color scheme, and logo to the Penguins.

6. Say you quit your job as a VHL player and decided to be a Youtuber/Streamer/Etc. What would you stream or post videos about?

I would probably just rant about sports like UrinatingTree. My opinions would probably be just as reasonable tbh.

(Week ending 5/2)

 

1. So the season's officially over, and we're not in the playoffs for the first time in a long time. What was your favorite memory about this season?

Hanging out with the other rookies on my line. We were the best line of young players hands down.

2. Reflect on your performance this season. How did it go for you personally? Did you meet your expectations, blow them away, play like ass, etc.

I definitely didn't expect to lead all rookies in assists. The season exceeded my expectations for sure.

3. Which team will you be rooting for in the playoffs and why?

4. We've got the lottery tournament coming up, and currently the 2nd best odds to win the lottery. How are you going to prepare for the tournament?

I'm going to treat it like any other same. Same routine, same diet, etc.

5. We're in an exciting scenario where the DC 1st that we traded for a couple weeks ago is now projected to be the number 1 pick in this season's draft, which means we own two top 3 selections guaranteed in this draft. Who should we select?

Depending on who gets taken besides our 2 picks, Markinson, Reikkenen, Talliner and Seabasstard in that order.

6. I did a little dabbling with VHFL stats today to try to identify problem areas in the current scoring system. If you were running VHFL, how would you assign points to each statistical category? This doesn't have to be every stat, just pick 2 or 3.

Assists should be worth the most obviously. Followed by Goals, then Hits, then Shot Blocking. Assists should be worth 2, Goals worth 1, Hits worth 0.5, and Shot Blocking worth 0.25

(Week ending 4/25)

 

1. We've seen a decent amount of trades in the past week or so, including sending out Ryan Schwarz, Jay Jones and Fat Palloon. Anything you'd like to say about these players?

2. Given the moves in question, how do you (honestly) feel about the direction of our team?

3. Moscow has had some rough games in the past week, albeit playing against most of the top teams in the league. What do we need to do to stop the slide and get back to winning games?

4. @WentzKneeFan036 re-signed with us this past week, how excited are you to have Malone as our starting goalie for the next season!

5. There's been some chatter of folks wanting a gaming channel in the Moscow LR. What games would you talk about if it was added?

6. You guys roasted me last time, say something nice this time

1. Fat Palloon is a phenomenal name. 

2. We're heading in the right direction. We're winning more than expected and if we continue at this rate we'll be a playoff team within the next 2 years.

3. Inconsistency is the main issue. Some games our offense is good and our defense is bad and some games it's the opposite. Being consistent is necessary to be a playoff team.

4. Very excited. If he keeps earning he's gonna be a top goalie soon.

5. The Hitman Trilogy, Madden, NHL, NBA 2k, Maybe some other games on PSNow.

6. You're super nice and helpful.
