1. We managed to bring home 2 free agents this season. Brian Strong Junior and Xavier Leflamant. What is your thought about that?

Answer: Two different thoughts on the signing; congratulations to the team on two new siging and welcome to the team but isn't these two signing taking away ice time from our star players with two rookies on the team this season as well? This gives us ten forwards meaning our fourth line isn't the typical repeat of the first line that most other teams employee

 

2. With Moscow and Malmo now in a rebuild, we can say this season will surely change the power ranking in the europe conference. Give us your prediction, what position do you think Prague will be in the Europe conference standings?

Answer: Sadly, I would love to be optimistic but the fact we were likely the four or even fifth best team down the stretch last season means we will most likely be fighting for the playoffs again this season with Riga so we are looking at third or fourth in our conference. Must say I haven't paid much attention to this off season so not sure how others have improved due to computer issues.

 

3. Someone broke our player stat bot in the discord, who is guilty?

Answer: well, I broke my computer and phone case so just chalk another one up for me.

 

4. @animal74, former Prague Phantoms got drafted by Malmo with his new player. How will you be when you will play against him for the first time?

Answer: I don't focus too much on other teams players as I tend to look after my own game and hope the teams game follows. 

 

5. With only one pick in the entire draft, Prague drafted Nicholas Mariani with the 43rd pick and he already showed us good things in our locker room. Any message for the new Phantom's prospect?

Answer: Welcome to the team and keep working hard as the VHL is very different from the VHLM. Also look forward to chatting once the computer gets fixed. 

 

6. Do you think that Mikko Lahtinen will still be at the top of the league after being traded to London?

 Answer: No, but not due to being on London but due to his up and down career tendencies. He should be top 5 easily still. 

Can't wait to chat with as well, hope to learn a lot and keep building that good LR vibes!

Review: this graphic is just absolute class! Really love the fonts you chose along with the styling in the background. Aside from that the transition between colors and jersey switch is just FLAWLESS, you crushed this 9.5/10 can't wait to see more!

Review: Idk where to start.. this is just awesome! Really love the colors and how they pop, also a big fan of the flame-esque vibes you did especially how it curls around the player itself. Lastly i love how the name was done.. good choice of font, overall just clean AF. Good stuff 10/10

San Diego Marlins Press Conference

Week ending 14 March 2021

 

1. Are you excited to start S77?

2. Did you get picked by a team in the draft or hoping for a wavier?

3. What are your expectations this season?

4. Do you have a special plan for your player?

5. Did you experience the DRAFT HYPE?

6. If there is something you think the management should work on this Season, what would it be and why?

1. Going into S77 I honestly couldn't be more excited to get back on the ice and get the train rolling!

 

2. I got picked up in the draft.

 

3. My expectations individually aren't to high.. going into my first season, I still have a lot to learn and to grow from but my expectations of the team are pretty high, we got a good group of guys here that just want to win.

 

4. I have definitely been working on a few things for sure.. I don't want to spoil the surprise but let's just say if things go well you will here my name often on the score sheet.

 

5. I moat certainly did experience the DRAFT HYPE and to be honest I still am. An absolute unforgettable experience!!

 

6. Honestly I think management is doing great, got a great team so far and even better locker room chemistry! Management has done a lot to bring this team together and I have no doubt in my mind.

  

Congrats to all the boys who won awards and what a great read this was! 

Hey if you could do one for my player, Nicholas Mariani, and use Nathan Mackinnon as the render that would be GREATLY appreciated!! oh and the team is for San Diego Marlins

+10 Nicholas Mariani

Waking up this morning was probably the most excited I have been since I first picked up a hockey stick, the VHLM draft was happening and I had a lot of preparing to do. My day started with getting my condo cleaned up, inviting my friends and family over and prepping the dinner menu! But the constant nerves flowing through my body and the anxiety of when or if I would get picked tonight loomed over me more than ever before (I'm pretty sure I switched shirts 5 times from all the sweat that was coming out of me!). Fast forward to 8pm EST, the draft has started, I was projected to be picked around the 37 overall pick but my expectations were lower. Having a slower progression than imagined would do that to you. Everything changed when the 3rd round came around and we all heard.. "With the 32nd pick in the VHLM, the San Diego Marlins pick LW Nicholas Mariani". Oh the excitement flowed right through the room... nachos and wings flew off the plates everyone was holding my friends and family cheered and all rushed towards me to celebrate the most life changing day of my life! Fast forward to now and the feeling I have is still just as unbelievable as it was when I heard my name being called out on the TV. I am beyond grateful for @thadthrasher and the Marlins taking a chance on me an drafting me, it means the world! All that's left to be said is this, Let's get to work and bring home a cup for San Diego!! 

Review: Honestly I don't even know where to start, love the graphic I think you did a good job with the design and the font you chose works perfectly with it. It gives that authentic hockey card look to it which i find KILLER! Based off the previous comment/review I understand the concept but I do feel as if something is missing.. it's clear enough the player is a goalie so position is not necessary but if you did add his jersey number and position it would have made this hockey card look become complete... almost like a collectible! 8.5/10 good work and hope to see more!!

Review: Love the whole trippy/3d effect you got going on here really makes it unique! I really dig the background and my only 'negative' would just be what was mentioned above, I think that if you added your position it would really bring it together and if maybe you had your name in something a bit dark just to make it easier to see with the background up top. Those are only minor.. great work though!! 9/10

Below are some pretty basic questions you can answer as part of your press conference requirements.

 

1. What excites you the most about the VHL?
2. Do you have a specific team you would like to play for? Are you playing for that team now?
3. Everyone has a pre-game ritual. What is yours?
4. Is there any music you listen to to pump you up for a game? Do you have a playlist?
5. If there was any other sport you could play what would it be?
6. What's the worst hockey-related injury your player has endured?

1. I think what excites me the most is the learning process. Being new to it all i cant wait to get started and grow, love the people i have interacted with and i just hope to grow fast and play the best hockey i can!

2. Well in the beginning i could have cared less who i played for, i just wanted to play and earn my spot.. some of that stays with me now but being drafted by prague i just cant wait till i get called up and play for the boys.

3. My pre-game ritual usually consists of showing up to the game early.. taking first skate on the ice (all while listening to music) take a couple laps before ripping a couple shots before going back in, but only have i hit the top left, top right, and bar down center 3 times each in that order.

4. I usually have 2 playlists i rotate, one with more rap and hip hop (called my 'good vibes' playlist) and then i got my Rock music playlist, usually involves classic and some heavy rock. Depending my mood or whats on the line determines my music choice, my rock is to really pump me up and gets me going while my rap one is to just get me in the zone and focused in.

5. If i didnt play hockey it would football..

 No hesitation.

6. The worst injury i have had was most probably when i broke my left arm in 3 places (1 bone completely broke while the other 2 were fractures). Got it done to me after some practice shenanigans lead to a really dumb idea, next thing i knew i took a bad fall that just snapped my arm, but it was in my early years and now its stronger than ever!
