someone let me be there AGM. I won't do anything but I'm really good moral support 

That's all I need

1. What’s your way-too-early bold prediction for S89?

A1: Mason Jones puts up 27 points in the Playoffs and wins Playoff MVP
 

2. If you had to put all your remaining TPE into one attribute, what would it be?

A2: Puck Control. I think I'd get the most value from it.
 

3. What is your favorite part about playing for Davos?

A3: The Management is pretty cool people.
 

5. If you had to choose one VHL player to build your franchise around, who would it be and why?

A4: If I was able to get a player in their prime or at the start of their career I think I'd go with Daniel Janser. He's had an amazing career and is a champion for a reason.

7. What was the last movie you watched in theaters?

A5: I was talking to my friend about this yesterday. I kept all the movie tickets from the movies we've seen together and the most recent one was Hobbs and Shaw
 

8. Are you an introvert or an extrovert?
A6: Introvert. Might be a little too much information but  I have very high anxiety unless I'm with close friends. It's sorta strange because I prefer to hang out with multiple friends, just so I don't have to talk as much and don't feel pressured to be interesting. 

I'd like to thank each of you for applying for this role. It was a tough choice but the Istanbul Redwolves have decided to name @RJMW as our new AGM!

Mason Jones - Offensive Vision

The Istanbul Redwolves offer Dirk Diggler @Tbeez99. Please reply to this topic if you accept this offer.

       Hello! I am Masu Chan, the General Manager of the Istanbul Redwolves. It's been a little while before I had to make a post like this, but our AGM @Gaming Ringleader has been promoted to GM of the Iron Eagles, so naturally, I require a new Assistant. I don't have many demands for the role, experience doesn't matter the only things I'm looking for are: 

1: Be Active-ish in the locker room.
2: Do Weekly Press Conferences. 

        If you are interested in the role feel free to reply to this topic letting me know you're applying for it. 

1. A heartbreaking end to S88, but we’ll be back at it again with this core of players in a few weeks! What do you do to keep yourself busy during the off-season?

A1: I've been playing a bit of my NHL 23 San Jose Sharks franchise mode recently.
 

2. Are you happy with your performance over the course of the season? What would you improve?

A2: I'm very happy with how I did. I always get off to a slow start but I came alive during the playoffs and could've been considered a MVP.
 

3. How does your player spend their free time?

A3: Aside from Training. I like to imagine he games often and probably hosts Movie nights for his friends and teammates.

6. Which of the remaining teams are you rooting for to win the Stanley Cup?

A4: I'd love to see Dallas make a comeback and win but I'm pretty sure Florida will win this season.
 

7. Name a fictional character you relate to!

A5: I'm gonna go with Ken Kaneki from Tokyo Ghoul. He's kinda a shy dude to start, but he's really nice and soft-spoken.
 

8. Favorite ice cream flavor?

A6: I recently discovered Caramilk Icecream. Caramilk is one of my favorite chocolate bars and their Ice Cream is pretty TOP! 

1. What a thrilling series win against Moscow! What is one word you would use to describe our team right now?

A1: I'm gonna say it...I'm gonna say it! HC Davos Dynamo is a Juggernaut. 
 

2. Give us an inspirational quote!

A2: If you're ever feeling disheartened, that you're somehow not enough. Set your heart ablaze.

3. How would your player celebrate a championship win?

A3: My player is from Mississauga so I think it's only logical to return home for the first time in countless seasons and parade around the city.
 

4. What is your favorite part about being a part of the VHL?

A4: The people. As cheesy as it might sound I feel like I've met some great, creative people and hopefully, I'll get my name on a trophy alongside some of them this season!
 

5. What are your thoughts on the Chicago Blackhawks winning the Connor Bedard sweepstakes?

A5: As long as it wasn't actually rigged I am fine with it. Just slightly annoyed. Hopefully, they do right by Bedard and have a healthy place for him and his future teammates to thrive in.

8. I’ve been getting back into playing Payday 2, so in the same vein as last week’s TV question: do you have a favorite video game? If so, what is it?

A8: I'm a story mode kind of guy and I think the Dragon Age series is one of the best storylines, It's also really cool that you can customize your choices so each playthrough is slightly different depending on the choices you make in other games.

1. VSN predicted that we’re going to win the Continental Cup. What can the team do to achieve this feat?

A1: Ever since the Leduc trade we've been playing really well. We ended the season very strong having a 7 game winning streak pretty recently I believe. As long as we continue to play like we did in the regular season we should have no problem winning the trophy.
 

2. How did you come up with your VHL username?

A2: It's my Xbox live name. Basically, I was changing my Xbox name every few months because nothing stuck and I was trying to find the perfect name. My friend would call me Masu Chan every now and again and I finally asked "How would you spell that?" and I've had the name ever since. It's been probably four years of being Masu Chan so far.
 

4. If you could add an award to the VHL, what would it be?

A4: The Masu Chan Award: AGM of the Year. I feel I could've won it a couple of times during my time in Davos.
 

5.How did you do in VHFL/Super Coach this season (if you participated)? 

A5: Very well! It was fun, I made super coach history by finishing bottom of the entire standings. It's a highlight of my career so far! Needless to say I'll change my strategy next time, but it's super funny that I was the worse team.

6.Who is your favorite all-time NHL player?

A6: Martin Brodeur. When I first started playing NHL games I was a Devils fan, and still sort of am but Marty was my boy. I've always been intrigued with goaltenders so it only makes sense that I'd be a fan of the one with the most wins in history. 

8. I just watched the newest episode of Demon Slayer! What is your favorite TV show?

A8: At the moment, probably Demon Slayer. After the Mugan train I ended up reading ahead and to see it all animated is very fun. 

1. In a crucial two-game sim against Prague, we came out on top! How are you liking our chances of beating them out for first in the conference? 
A1: It's gonna be tough, they still have a pretty good lead on us. Regardless I think we'll prove we're the better team when it comes to the postseason.

2. As we close in on the end of the regular season, how would you describe your player’s performance?

A2: I'd describe my player as a very consistent player. Maybe a bit underrated.
 

3. What brand of equipment does your player use?

A3: I used to enjoy CCM gear but ever since Nasher got sponsored by Bauer it's been my go-to brand.
 

5. How did you find out about the VHL?

A4: I watched Adam Couser's videos about a year ago when I saw an ad for the VHL, I think it was the 2nd time I saw the ad and I decided to give it a try. 
 

6. Which two teams do you think make it to the Stanley Cup Final?

A5: Edmonton Oilers vs Florida Panthers. Edmonton's offense is insane and Florida is making their current series look like a cakewalk.
 

7. Where is your ideal vacation spot?

A6: For me, I don't care much about the location but rather the people I'd be with. So, if I had to pick a place I'd go to Texas and meet some of my online friends in person.

1. We have just acquired Alexandre Leduc in a blockbuster trade! Do you have any thoughts on this move?

I think it is a good trade. As much as I like Puk, I think Leduc's skill in the faceoff dot will help us a lot in the playoffs. 
 

2. There are some amazing, funny, and interesting player names in the VHL. Do you have a favorite (that’s not your own)?

I really like the name Adam Rage. It's maybe a simple name compared to some but it reminds me of the AEW star Adam Page.
 

3. Which player do you think will lead Davos in goals by the end of the season?

I've always been a big fan of Teek's game. Whenever we play together we seem to overwhelm goalies and I gotta go with him just for the amount he shoots the puck.
 

4. Which EU team would you most like to face in the playoffs?

I'm gonna go with the London United. Siyan is a very good friend of mine but I have a little rivalry with him. Earlier in my career, I wanted to be captain of Davos, it was an honor that Siyan got and deserved, but I think having the chance to prove myself against him would be very exciting.
 

6. The Maple Leafs finally made it past the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Did you expect them to achieve this feat?

I did. There was always doubt for me as a Leafs fan but I did predict a 6 game series and I'm happy to be right. The team has one of the most talented forward groups in the league and deserved to showcase their skill a bit.
 

7. What was the last movie or TV show you watched?

Demon Slayer Episode 3 of this season. It's such a pretty anime with satisfying animation, funny moments, sad moments, and epic moments. You can't go wrong with it. Zenitsu is super annoying though...

Theme week delayed me posting this but here is @MrMom's player Adam Rage.

CAPTAIN UPDATE
S88  S88
C - Legacy Gaming @Gaming Ringleader
A - Steve Lattimer @pugsood
A - McDonalds Bigmac @ryf87

After trading away Mark Calaway and Reese McFleury, the Istanbul Redwolves must look to the future. That future is bright and I believe this team will be able to make an impact for seasons to come. Our future will be built with the help of these three players, they will leave behind a Legacy that will inspire Redwolves to come!

Condition: Should the S89 Draft go 5 rounds, Istanbul receives back S89 IST 5th, which was sent to Oslo in this earlier trade: @Enorama this condition should actually make things easier 

 

Thank you @Masu Chan for the talks, good luck to Istanbul! You can like or comment to confirm the condition.
 

Welcome to Oslo @Stroheim! Glad to have you!

I can confirm this condition.

@Masu Chan @Anthique @zepheter @Mongoose87 @Crstats23 @Otaznik @Thunder @CrlineDijohn14 @Wheaties @Ahma

 

1: I feel great about our team at the moment, everything seemed to click recently and everyone has stepped up at different points to allow us to get on such a long winning streak.

2: Make Prague change its colors...Either that or add Team Steel to the VHL.

3: Oh, XD I answered that in the last question by mistake...I'll do 7 questions this week.

5: There are a few I really enjoy...If I had to go with one I would have to go with BUFFALO SABERS this season. They did it perfectly, and I doubt any Sabers fan was upset with that design.

6: Monday. It's less confusing for the updates....Probably, I'm not to sure how they handle stuff like that.

7: I'd want Ryan Reynolds to play me but I'm not nearly that funny. The more realistic choice would be Michael Cera, I am really quirky and shy and he'd probably do the best job.

8: Xbox, simply because of the friendships I have made. This might be the nerdiest thing I ever admit on this website and iIt's hard to believe but I helped make a gaming group of best friends between Americans and Canadians. I wouldn't trade any of them for anything, they are great people that I'm lucky to know.
