WHAT'S UP Wranglers?! I finally did the thing and made a graphic for these PCs I make. As nice and simple this one is (and I like it) I might end up making a new one sometime down the line...we'll see.
1. Congratulations to @vincentlg2007 on his promotion to GM for the Mississauga Hounds! Did any of you have a prediction of who would've been selected?
2. How many more times will teams get VLG'd this season? Will they ever learn?
3. Who's scoring the team's first hat trick?
4. What's the weirdest thing your player has seen Lindbergh do between the posts?
5. How would you rate my PC banner?
6. What's for breakfast?
1. First off, well deserved! It happened so fast that I didn't even see who was in contention, so I had no prediction.
2. Hopefully a bunch more times. I don't think teams will ever learn.
3. Well at the time of writing this, Leandro was the first to get it so I think the second person will be Landon.
4. I've seen him talk to his post. Most of the time it's about random topics that aren't hockey related.
5. It's nice and clean. Very good job!
6. Ceral. More specifically, Cheerios.

Calgary Wranglers Press Conference
Week Ending April 16, 2023
1. What's up, Wranglers?! Season 88 started last week! How's that ice feel?
2. Did you submit your award predictions before the deadline? If so, how confident are you on them?
3. Our opening home game against the New York Americans was a tough one, ending in a 2-6 loss. In your head how were the fans' and players' reactions when the game ending buzzer sounded off?
4. I know it's the beginning of the season and it's way too early to tell anything, but where would you predict Calgary to be in the standings half-way through the season?
5. Happy Easter! Are you celebrating this holiday? If not, what are your Sunday plans?
6. Are you getting enough sleep?
1. It felt good, been so ready for the season to start.
2. I did, Idk how to feel just got to hope that RNG treats me well.
3. Well obviously disappointed but we know and they know we will be back to full form in a week or two.
4. I think we will be in the same boat as last year, probably 2-3 in the conference
5. I do celebrate Easter. I spent time with family.
6. I would say I do. I get around 7-8 hours of sleep every night.

1. What's up, Wranglers! Another week of off-season shenanigans (which has actually been exciting for me) and hopefully we'll be comin' out swingin' for the start of Season 88! What does your player miss most right now?
2. All drafts have been completed! Our GM @Ricer13 drafted goalie Merome Dilson @MexicanCow123, forward Mason Rice @Sawyer13, and forward Robert Boldy @The Goblin. Welcome, future prospects! How do you feel about our picks? Future prospects -- How excited are you to play for Calgary when your time comes?
3. Were there any other exciting picks from the VHL, E, or M?
4. Merchandising has decided to make a bobblehead for your player! First 500 lucky fans on opening night will receive one. How is your player posing?
5. Are Swedish Fish in Sweden just fish?
6. Do you stay properly hydrated throughout the day?
1. Playing the game he loves. He is ready to get things going.
2. I think the picks were good. They are going to be the players of the future and help Calgary stay dominant for seasons to come.
3. No, I just kinda paid attention to what Calgary did.
4. The pose would be Larry in a skating stride.
5. Sure?
6. Not like I should. I need to do a better job.

1. Our off-season games are in full swing! Are you participating as a player or GM in any of these? If so, how are they going?
2. Training Camp has also started! How's your player feeling getting back on that ice?
3. The S87 Awards have been announced. Oskar Lindbergh @Doomsday received the Daisuke Kanou Trophy, which is awarded to the Continental Cup Playoffs MVP! Phil Strasmore @Phil and Landon Wolanin @jacobcarson877 were also nominees. Were there any surprises on any of the winners of the other categories?
4. What is your player working on during training camp and practices to up their game for the next season?
5. How is your NHL team looking as we near the end of the regular season?
6. What house chore do you hate doing the most?
1. Larry is participating in ProAm for the first time and I'm surprised at how well he is doing.
2. He is ready and is ready to take the next step in his VHL career.
3. No, not really.
4. His shooting and offensive/defensive consistency.
5. Edmonton has been hot and is in a tight race for the pacific lead. I'm just hoping they can continue their success into the playoffs.
6. Living in Canada, I'd have to say shoveling. It does a number on the back and is just annoying to do.

1. What's up, CHAMPIONS?! That's right! The Calgary Wranglers are your season 87 Continental Cup Champions! How's it feel?!
2. Did you fear the 3-1 series curse?
3. How would you picture the way everyone celebrated the win after leaving the arena?
4. Congratulations everyone on the team. Every single one of you played an important role in each minute of every period, and it most certainly could not have been a win in the books without our GM @Ricer13! His playbook strategies leading all the way up to the last game showed the strength, will, and tenacity of our players. Is he a wizard? (Feel free to leave some feel-good feedback here
)
5. Are we running it back, season 88?!
6. Do you enjoy any of Daft Punk's music?
1. It feels great! Ready to run it back.
2. Well no lead in hockey is safe, but with the group we had, it would have been difficult for Davos to come back.
3. With a big parade and lots of beer.
4. Amazing work!
5. 100%.
6. When they come on the radio it's a vibe!

1. What's up Wranglers! We're going into the final games of the semis and it's really getting down to the wire here. Is your player amped or a little anxious?
2. As of this post no one's scored a hat trick yet in either series. What does that say about our competition?
3. ...Or is that a player skill issue?
4. Does your player prefer the cheers of the home crowd or thrive off the grief of the opposing team's fans at away games?
5. Spring is right around the corner! How are your allergies holding up? Texans are dying from all the pollen...
6. What toppings do you put on your pizza? Don't worry pineapple lovers, you're safe here.
1. We won the chip baby, wohoooo!
2. It's very tight defensively. It is hard for anyone to get going and really take over a game.
3. I don't think it is a skill issue, it's just that every team is locked in and playing more defensively than they would be in the regular season.
4. He likes both but prefers the home crowd. He loves when the fans are hyped and going crazy.
5. Very excited for the snow to be gone! I'm lucky I don't have to deal with allergies.
6. I'm basic, so just a regular pepperoni pizza.

1. Playoffs officially kickoff this week following the wild card games! How's your player's mental right now?
2. Game 1 shut out?
3. How do you think your player will fare in the playoffs?
4. Who on the team do you think will score a hat trick? Fake bonus points if you can correctly guess against which team.
5. When was the last time you used a payphone, if ever?
6. What book would you love to see a movie adaptation?
1. He's ready to go and is looking to help Calgary in any way he can.
2. Unfortunately it didn't happen.
3. I think Larry will have a tougher time in the playoffs than he did in the regular season but you never know.
4. The safe answer would be Janser or Wolanin, but I am going to say that Braun @Toast will get one.
5. Never.
6. IDK, I don't really read books, but the books I have read are already movies.

2. What are the odds on us winning the rest of the games and Vancouver losing all of them for the Victory Cup?
3. Which away arena is your player's favorite?4. Did anything happen by the trade deadline that surprised you?
5. Any NHL trade surprises?
6. Are you allergic to bee stings?
1. Hell ya!
2. As of writing this 0%.
3. He likes to play in Vancouver.
4. To keep it 100 I have no idea what happened.
5. Tampa overpaying for a grinder is surprising, and Ottawa getting Chychrun for so cheap.
6. No.

1. Why does Chicago hate us?
2. Karl Pedersen @JeffDhas started a few games! Of his 4, he has 2 wins and 2 losses (one OTL). Both wins were shutouts. What do you think about the future of Pedersen?
3. We're sitting 7 points ahead of the next team, in which the next 8 teams only have a few points variance between each other. Do you think the dust will settle at the end of the season and show the points further apart, or will they remain to be neck-and-neck?
4. Who was your player's role model growing up?
5. Who was your role model growing up?
6. Star Wars or Star Trek?
1. To be honest it's probably because they know they won't be as good as us.
2. I think this says a lot about our future goaltender and that we will have a reliable goalie for seasons to come.
3. You never know with the sim, but with how this season has gone I wouldn't be surprised if it stays neck-and-neck.
4. Mark Messier, for his gritty play, and his ability to score with the best of them.
5. I'm still decently young, so I'll say my parents because they both show how hard work will eventually pay off and that all the long hours of working weren't for nothing.
6. I'm a be honest, I've never seen Star Trek and I've only watched about an hour of Star Wars, but just because of the Star Wars lego, ill say Star Wars.

1. What's up, Wranglers! It's theme week! What do you think about the theme of "rivalries"?
2. Who would you say is our rival for this particular season?
3. In the SO loss against Riga Reign, we slightly outshot them and period 2 seemed to be very back-and-forth. Landon Wolanin had 12 shots on goal with 2 goals and 2 assists. We killed it on the PK, but still couldn't bring home the 2 points. How would your player respond to how the game felt overall and how we could improve our production while also keeping our defense tight?
4. Skaters - where is your favorite point to shoot the puck? Goalies - where is your least favorite point to be shot against?
5. What show are you currently binging?
6. Chicken fried chicken or chicken fried steak? (I feel like this is a very Texan thing to ask, but I'm doing it anyway.)
1. I haven't been in the VHL "space" for very long, so I don't really know of any rivalries, so I got a do some research and try to come up with something.
2. I'd probably have to pick another rookie so I guess maybe Nikolas Kauppi @Tetricide
because we are both from the same draft class (S85), picked after one another, Larry at 16 and Nikolas at 17, and are currently one and two in rookie scoring.
3. It's just one game, every team will have these types of games. I'd start getting worried if these types of games were happening constantly. Larry will just put the game behind him and get ready for the next one.
4. I think Larry's favorite place to shoot the puck would probably be the five-hole, but he does love a good tip in goal.
5. I don't really watch shows, I just watch sports and play video games.
6. I'd have to go chicken fried chicken just because I have never had chicken fried steak.

1. Lindbergh was a mad man in the game against the LA Stars! Do you think we can help him get at least 10 more shutouts before the season ends?
2. As of this post, we're 3rd overall in the standings with 23 games played. We're almost a 3rd of the way through the season already... Do you think we can overtake the #1 position at this rate?
3. Went to a shootout against Helsinki, who is at the bottom of the standings... We won, but scary that it had lasted so long to take home the W. What could we do better next time?
4. Does your player do anything before the game for luck?
5. Chocolate milk or orange juice?
6. Did you watch any of the NHL All Star events?
1. With the way he is playing it is very well possible but I think a more reasonable answer would be 6 or 7.
2. Hell ya we can.
3. We can't underestimate are opponents, we have to play are game every game.
4. He does his on ice warmups in a specific order, and does each of them for the same amount of time.
5. I prefer Chocolate milk but I'd rather have apple juice.
6. No, I couldn't be bothered.

1. What's up Wranglers! We had a kind of rocky start to the season, but as of this post we're on a 7-game win streak! The GMs made some necessary line changes that was apparently exactly what we needed break through the funk. How are we lookin now?
2. Also as of this post, our very own Larry Abass Jr.@RileyL is currently sitting at the top of the rookie leaders board! How possible do you think it is that he makes rookie of the year?
3. Daniel Janser @Daniel Janseris also on a few leaderboards, but is currently #1 overall for Forwards. What do you think he puts in his water bottle?
4. Oskar Lindbergh @Doomsday, our one true goalie, is also on the leaderboards. In a 3-way-tie for 1st place in shutouts and 3rd in wins. Sitting at .918 GAA, how can we help raise that number, the shutouts, and continue winning?
5. Why is the rum always gone?
6. How is/are your sport(s) team(s) doing?
1. We are definitely rolling right know but in all honesty I think we can do better and be the team to beat. The sim also needs to be nice to us.
2. It will be a very close race for sure so let's just hope he can continue his production.
3. If I had to guess, probably some water and special powder.
4. We are on role right now, so "if it ain't broke don't fix it."
5. I couldn't tell ya.
6. Edmonton Oilers are currently 7th in the west which is first wildcard so they are in the playoffs. Denver Nuggets (NBA) are currently second in the entire league.

2. Now that the WC is over with, we have SIMS starting soon! The indexes are posted, simmers announced, and the calendar says...season starts Wednesday (Jan 25)! Are you nervous? Excited? Anxious? HYPED?!
3. If you're doing predictions this season, how do you think you'll do compared to last season?
4. Who do you think has the best celly on the team?
5. If you could be any kind of bird for a day, which would you choose?
6. Is VR the future?
1. I had zero clue on which teams were good/bad so I'm just going to say Canada.
2. Very excited to play in my first VHL season!
3. I think it will be hard for me to get 8 again but I think I could get around 5-6
4. I haven't seen anyone's celly's but I reckoned Phil will have the best.
5. I think it would be cool to be an owl.
6. It could be but at the moment It's just a weird way to play video games.

1. Felling pretty good, still got work to do to catch up to the top teams.
2. The team has been rolling, I think we have a very good chance of catching up and being in the mix for top 3.
3. Try and complete a graphic.
4. You never know, anything can happen.
5. Over. The other way is just criminal.
6. In the winter when the roads are just pure ice and it's almost impossible to stop.
