Review this is amazing, everything is clean and it’s not busy, I love the Philly colors running onto the render which helps make it look like he’s wearing a Reapers jersey, the font is well placed and big enough to read easily but small enough that it doesn’t take a lot of space, I like the use of the team and league logos in the corner, makes it looks like a trading card

Oh my GOD Alex Johnston with a hatty and 4 PLAYERS WITH 3 POINTS

Oh my GOD Alex Johnston with a hatty and 4 PLAYERS WITH 3 POINTS

Damn, @inflastud with a HUGE start for the team, 7 goals in 7 games

1) Great! I think that would be a good way to gauge the best player on the team beyond the scoresheet.
2) I like our chances against every team besides the Yukon Rush. Those MFers are scary.
3) I would compare us to the leafs. (Not including all the choking) We have good defense, good offense, good goaltending, we just need to get motivated and improve our attitude and we’re one of the best in the league. 
4) I saw a youtuber advertise it (can’t remember which one) and it looked fun. Turns out, it’s better than I thought. 100% enjoying it.
5) best fighter. A UFC/Pride FC Grand Prix style tournament. 
6) Malmo or Rejkjavik. 
7) All my favorite teams missed or got eliminated. Flyers, Sharks, Kings, Flames, wild, Stars, so now I’m stuck with the Canes and Habs. Frowning 
9) Watch the ploffs, do Jiu Jitsu, and play video games. 

PRESS CONFERENCE: Week of June 6th, 2021
(You don't have to answer every single one, just answer 6 for 2 TPE)
 
1. Kaleeb and I have been talking about introducing a team MVP award to be given out each sim by the winner from the previous sim. What do you think of this idea? 
 
2. As the season moves along it's looking very likely that we will be up against the Minnesota Storm in the first round of the playoffs. How do you like our chances against them?
 
3. With us closing in on the halfway point of the season, what are your thoughts on how we've done and in what area do you think we need to improve the most?
 
4. What brought you to the VHL and are you enjoying your time so far?
 
5. If there was a VHLM All-Star skills challenge, what event would you most want to participate in?
 
6. With the VHLE being introduced in S80, where would you like to see a team? What potential team would you like to play for? @Juice has been pushing for a team in Budapest.
 
7. With me being a Buffalo Sabres fan, the playoffs are something that I've barely seen my favourite team in. If your favourite team is still in the playoffs, what are your thoughts on how they are doing and their chances going forward?
 
8. In a non-pandemic world, do you prefer to order-in or go to a restaurant?
 
9. What are you most excited to do this summer?

1. Kaleeb and I have been talking about introducing a team MVP award to be given out each sim by the winner from the previous sim. What do you think of this idea?
 
I think it's a cool idea, and not just as something to build camaraderie and get teammates acknowledging each other more. In the past, I've done weekly statistics to write articles or do podcasts highlighting top players. I like the idea of periodic accolades because it gives guys who are definitely not the best but still have a good day or week or whatever something to be a bit more excited about.
 
 
3. With us closing in on the halfway point of the season, what are your thoughts on how we've done and in what area do you think we need to improve the most?
 
We've done well on special teams, particularly on the power play where we are second in the league with 30.22%. Our penalty kill is solid as well, fourth in the league, and we are the leaders in combined PP+PK%. On the contrary, I think our even-strength play is a weakness, particularly on offense. We are only 6th in total goals despite 42 power play goals, and while we only drop down to 7th when looking at just even strength goals, I think it's worse than you see at first glance. While I don't have exact numbers regarding how much time we spend even strength relative to other teams, we do have the second-fewest power play attempts and the fourth-fewest penalty minutes. Given that we are successful on power plays as well, those attempts are on average going to be shorter than most, giving us even more even strength time. Plus when you compare even strength goals, we are a lot closer to the teams at the bottom. We are the team that is the most reliant on power plays, and it shows. I think expectations were higher for us, and our even strength play needs to get better if we want to contend with the top teams.
 
 
5. If there was a VHLM All-Star skills challenge, what event would you most want to participate in?
 
Is there a challenge that let's me hit people? That one.
 
 
6. With the VHLE being introduced in S80, where would you like to see a team? What potential team would you like to play for? @Juice has been pushing for a team in Budapest.
 
Location really doesn't matter much to me. Any preference I would have would be toward former VHL/VHLM teams. And truthfully, I care so little about it, that my number one choice would be to bring back the Toledo Scorpions. Obviously this is something that would never happen, but they were the VHLM affiliate for the Dynamo back in the early days, and I was GM for a season or two and played for them.
 
 
7. With me being a Buffalo Sabres fan, the playoffs are something that I've barely seen my favourite team in. If your favourite team is still in the playoffs, what are your thoughts on how they are doing and their chances going forward?
 
I'm a Wild fan, so my team is out. Even if they had pulled off a game seven win against Vegas, I gave them a very low chance of beating Colorado. I'm used to seeing them lose in the playoffs, but it could be worse, I guess. At least I get to see them in the playoffs.
 
 
8. In a non-pandemic world, do you prefer to order-in or go to a restaurant?
 
100% order-in. I really don't care much for going to restaurants. I'm a slow eater, so I end up either holding everyone up at the end or having to stay out of all conversation to finish on pace with everyone else.

Holy entire line brawl Batman!!

1) Great, we got a short king in net and one of if not the best two-way d-men in the league in Ranogajec. Certainly better than last season. 
2) I would, we’ve kept a lot of the good assets from last season that have all only improved, and added on with great scorers, defensive players and obviously some fantastic goaltending.
3) it sounds exciting, but I know we’ll crush them.
4) We don’t have many other teams close geographically and not much to work with in terms of team names, so I guess we’ll just wait till the end of the season to see if one forms.
5) Absolutely. Least points on the team but 4th in hits (with great company mind you) and tied 2nd in blocked shots, all while having just 3 minor penalties in 11 games. Great start to the season for me defensively.
6) couldn’t find the disk for UFC 4 so I’m playing a lot of UFC 3 and NHL 21, but I just ordered Skate 3 so hopefully I get some PT on that.
7) Speed of Sound by Coldplay. Not exactly a hype song, but my favorite songs usually get me going good before a big game.
8) Both because fuck it
9) No, because for something to be wet the default has to be that it’s dry. Water in its default form isn’t dry, thus it isn’t wet.

@Spaz Big games from a short man!

It should be illegal to only have 1 point in a game where your team scores 10 goals

That PHI vs MIS game....

@jaredc7 I guess we got a goon in our hands

LETS GO RON GORGONZOLA DROPPED THE GLOVES

LETS GO RON GORGONZOLA DROPPED THE GLOVES

1) I’m glad the Reapers retained my rights and really hope we can jump in the standings with the newer team, because I think we have potential to be not last. 
2) I am hoping to score 20 points, at least 125 hits and 100 blocked shots. Also halved pim/game
3) Hey Ya by Outkast. I’m not like, going through a rough relationship or whatever I just love that song.
4) As I said, there are improvements and I’m hoping we can get out of last in the league.
7) I really am rooting for the Hurricanes, or hoping that the caps win the cup with Tom Wilson injured. Oshie really really really deserves another cup.
8. a Cheesy Bagel with cream cheese and sliced turkey
9) It does, because you need the sweet combination with the salty/savory.
