Press Conference, week of December 28th – January 3rd
1. Amazing series against Miami with the big sweep. Was the Miami series what you expected?
Yes, it was a surprise result if I'm being honest. I was always hopeful that we would defeat the Marauders, but to sweep to victory I didn't expect that at all.
2. We’re onto round two in a matchup with Philadelphia I believe. What is the strategy to taking on the top team in the East?
The Reapers are always a tough opponent and it will be a hell of a battle against them. I think our defense needs to shut down their great forward group and allow our guys to counterattack whenever possible.
3. Who was the MVP of round one? For San Diego? For the VHLM?
Based purely on points, probably Fertitta from Halifax. For us, I don't want to say Odinsson, so I'll go with Endrizzi. As for the VHLM, I'm staying local ; Scotty Kaberle has been awesome for us and has been a points machine despite being a blueliner.
4. With Chicago and Moscow moving on, what is your prediction for the Continental Cup of the VHL?
I never like predicting a series at such an early stage. Despite my dislike of Vancouver, they look good.
5. Which series has surprised you most so far across both, the VHL and VHLM?
I'd say Seattle against Chicago. It surprised the hell out of me and has caused some controversy amongst certain members.
6. With the New Year coming, what are some goals you have for our next loop around the sun?
Finish my house, get in a better head space and live a happier life. Maybe this is the year. 2020 can fuck off.
