Sure I'm down

1. I'll be honest, I don't really pay attention to the draft because I don't really follow any of the prospects. 2. Given the circumstances, my play has been okay for a veteran. 3. I'm the type of player that would work on the areas that the team is currently lacking in. 4. We just need to do a better job at scoring goals. 5. Nah if the NHL was rigged then the Coyotes would've gotten first. 6. I'm doing literally nothing today.

1. We just gotta win games. Simple as that. 2. I'd say that our group has a very good chance against them. 3. Prague is a pretty formidable team right now, they would certainly be tough to play against. 4. I'm not really sure, it's a hard league and anything can happen. They certainly have proven that they can be a good team. 5. It's absolutely very likely. Both of those guys are very hard workers and both should be considered for the MVP. 6. A decent amount of my picks were very wrong, so I'm not so sure anymore.

1. I think it's a combination of several things. Our power play has been clicking much more than the start of the season. A lot of guys have been stepping up when we need them the most and I think that's really helping us. 2. I might be biased, but Soggy has had that dawg in him since the start. You can always count on him to take advantage of opportunities and to set a great example for the guys in the room. 3. I'd say that I've been doing my job pretty well. If there's anything I need to change, it's taking too many penalties. 4. Bananas and Strawberries. That combination of those two fruits always get the job done. 5. I'm kinda disappointed I never got to fight Soggy while I was in LA. I'm sure he could hold his own pretty well. 6. A stick without a blade. I don't really use it that much anyway lol.

Damn this is so sick!!

1. I'm not too well versed in the current best prospects, but I don't see how this trade could be viewed as a bad thing. 2. There's always that possibility that late round picks become effective VHL players *wink* *wink* 3. Depends on where our GMs view the team is currently at. I can see both sides 4. The NHL draft is always by far my favorite, given that the NHL is the league I follow the most 5. Blasted nachos always felt like it was too much cheese. The original cracker is the best because it's not overwhelming. It's more of a low-key type thing 6. Moskau by Dschinghis Khan is a little too obvious but I feel that it's a good contender. Perhaps the Red Army Choir version of "Let's Go" is the best option. It's the most hype march I've ever heard and sometimes I listen to it at the gym.

It's great to be back!

Interviewer: Hello Jason, thank you for joining us today. You have had a pretty interesting journey in the world of hockey, particularly with your friendship with Tomas Sogaard. Can you tell us about how you two first met and how your friendship developed? Jason Argos: Sure, I first met Tomas when he joined the Mexico City Kings of the VHLM during my second season with the team. We quickly bonded over our shared love for the game, but also found that we had a lot in common off the ice, like our shared love for fishing and the outdoors. Interviewer: You and Tomas played on a few different teams together before being drafted by the Moscow City Menace. Can you tell us about those experiences and how they helped strengthen your friendship? Jason Argos: Absolutely. When we played together on the Kings, I wasn't a rookie anymore, but it was still exciting to have a new teammate like Tomas. We had instant chemistry on the ice, which made playing together even more fun. He had a much different, and much better if I'm being honest, skillset than me, so he was able to help me improve my game in the areas in which I was not so comfortable. And then when we both played for the Istanbul Red Wolves of the VHLE, we were both living in a foreign country and dealing with language barriers and cultural differences, so we relied on each other for support. It definitely helped bring us even closer. Interviewer: When you were both drafted by the Moscow City Menace, it must have been exciting to continue your careers together on a more competitive team. Jason Argos: It was definitely exciting, but it was also a bit nerve-wracking because we were moving to a new country again. But having each other there made the transition a lot smoother. He actually helped me a bunch when I was learning some Russian. And playing for the Menace was a great experience because it was a highly competitive team and we were both able to grow as players. Interviewer: After one season with the Menace, you were traded to the Los Angeles Stars, but Tomas stayed on the Menace. Can you talk about how your friendship has changed now that you're on different teams? Jason Argos: Yeah, I was somewhat upset that they weren't able to keep me. I was hoping we could play together our whole careers, but I knew that would be unrealistic. Our friendship hasn't really changed that much, to be honest. We still talk all the time and catch up whenever we're in the same city. Of course, there's a bit of a competitive rivalry now that we're on different teams, but it's still a friendly rivalry. Sometimes I might seek him out intentionally and give him a big hit or two. We both want to see each other succeed and do well, even if it means our own team loses. At the end of the day, we're still good friends and that's what matters most. Word Count: 511

1. Guys can do whatever they want prior to a game. That might just be their way of preparing for a game. Guys have all kinds of wacky rituals they do before games, but relaxing in a hottub crosses the line? 2. I'm not superstitious, but I am a little stitious 3. I feel that it's fair. Be supportive of everyone involve, but remind them that there is still a job to do at the end of the day. 4. I believe that things like this happen every season. While I do believe that we should be working to fix this issue, we can currently afford to lose a few games here and there given our current standing in the league. 5. I feel that if we could find a way to make it work, it would be very interesting to have a VHLPA. 6. This is the best season that I've ever had. While I'm currently satisfied with my current production, there is always room for improvement.

1. We're doing great as of right now, so I don't think it's necessary to think about a rebuild right now. 2. I was? That's news to me. Those LA nights, man, they do some crazy things to you. I might have been a little "under the weather" if you catch my drift. I personally always try to take photos with fans despite what I apparently said. 3. Yes I have. It has a very distinct Nordic flavor. 4. I feel that our group right now is very good, so I can't really think of any problems. 5. They're always rock solid. Both of them never give up no matter what. 6. I'd say so, but I don't need to be a superstar. I just try to win hockey games.

Interviewer: Good afternoon, Jason. Thanks for taking the time to speak with us today. Jason Argos: No problem, always happy to chat with the media. Interviewer: Let's start with your background. You were born and raised in Alaska, how did that influence your decision to become a hockey player? Jason Argos: Growing up in Alaska, hockey is just a way of life. Everyone plays, it's just part of the culture. I started playing at a very young age and fell in love with the game. I knew early on that I wanted to make a career out of it. Interviewer: You've been playing professionally for several seasons now, starting with the Mexico City Kings, then moving on to play for the Istanbul Red Wolves in the VHLE and now currently with the LA Stars in the VHL, How has your experience been playing in different leagues? Jason Argos: It's been a great experience, I've been fortunate to have the opportunity to play in different leagues and learn from different styles of play and coaches. The VHLE and VHLM are both top-level leagues and they have helped me to develop my game and adapt to different situations. The VHL is a different level of competition, it's more physical and faster, and I'm happy to be back here and playing for the Los Angeles Stars. Interviewer: You've had quite a successful career so far, with 95 points in 216 games prior to this season. How do you maintain your level of performance? Jason Argos: I think it's all about hard work and consistency. I always try to focus on the next game and not get too caught up in my past performances. I also make sure to take care of my body and stay in good shape. And of course, I have a great team behind me who helps me to stay motivated. Interviewer: You're off to a great start this season with 9 points in 8 games. What do you attribute that success to? Jason Argos: I think it's a combination of things. I've been playing with a great group of guys and we have a great system in place. Guys like Vinny Detroit and DBIII have really helped improve my game. Our coaches have been doing a great job of putting us in positions to succeed. I'm also feeling more comfortable with my role on the team. I'm playing with more confidence and that's translating to my performance on the ice. Interviewer: Finally, what are your goals for the rest of the season and beyond? Jason Argos: My main goal is to help the Los Angeles Stars win the championship. That's what we're all working towards as a team. Personally, I want to continue to improve as a player and be a consistent contributor to the team. And in the future I would love to represent my country in international competitions. Interviewer: Well, we wish you all the best for the rest of the season and beyond. Thanks for taking the time to speak with us today, Jason. Jason Argos: Thank you, it was my pleasure.

1. Our GM is a very respected person not just to the players, but to the community. That manager refusing to show that documentary is blatant disrespect and I fully expect him to apologize. That kind of behavior will not be tolerated. 2. So much of hockey chemistry on and off the ice. I am personally a fan of D&D and I can totally see how it can improve their chemistry, so I have nothing against it. 3. I feel that there are plenty of D-men in the league that wouldn't cost too much to get. 4. I feel that it's okay as long as there's moderation. Unlike modern sports gambling ads, most alcohol ads don't feel nearly as predatory. 5. I mostly wanted to improve my offensive game, get better at generating chances and opportunities. 6. My goal is to have more than 40 points this season.

1. I felt that our GM got some great players with the picks we had. 2. I can understand where they come from in that regard. On paper we have a very strong team, but for some reason we aren't executing. The worst position a team can be in is one where they're not living up to expectations but they don't really know why or how to fix it. 3. Sirdsvaldis Miglasķēms has always been the type of guy that would sing that part. I'm not dissing him or anything, he just seems like a goofy kind of guy. 4. It's really disappointing to hear that. We're really trying to get better. This group of guys works their tails off every night. 5. Scoish Velociraptor Maloish always seemed like captain material to me. Fantastic player, tough as nails, gives 100% every night, he seems to fit the bill to me. 6. Whoever we can get, honestly. I have a feeling that some players want to stay far away from our team given our record, but hopefully the guys that can see that we're building something here in LA will tag along.
