Press Conference Week ending Dec 24.

 

1) What are your plans for New Years?

2) If you could be any type of animal what would you choose, why?

3) If you had one superpower what would it be, why?

4) If you had a superpower would you be good or evil, why?

5) Should the VHL mandate wooden sticks in season 92? Why?

6) If you could pick one VHL job what would it be, why?

1. Hoping to go down to my cousin's and spend time with them and their 2 year old.

2. Cat. But one that definitely has a home. Because omg if I were spoiled the way my kitten is, it would be the life.

3. The ability to summon instant karma on terrible drivers who deserve it.

4. I think good. I could summon cops to catch speeders, have people cutting in and out of traffic running into each other. So good, but a chaotic good.

5. Of course! Splinters all over the ice would definitely make for an interesting aspect of the game.

6. Updater! Omg I have been trying to get this job since almost day 1. I would just love to get people all their beautiful TPE asap.

Applying! Again! 

S91 has ended for Jesse Teno and the London United, going out to Helsinki in the semi-finals 4-1. Not the goalie’s best showing but still a good performance overall. But with the end of the season comes the inevitable locker clean out. 

“Jesse, how are you feeling about how the season ended? Couldn’t have been easy going out on a shutout.”

No, it’s not. I did all I could to keep us in the game but sometimes it just doesn’t work out the way you want it to. The whole team gave a great effort, but Helsinki just outplayed us and Fuukka Rask managed to hold it together better than I could.

“Do you think your team was ready to close out the season? Or do you think Helsinki maybe just wanted it a bit more than London?”

I don’t know if they wanted it more than us but they certainly outplayed us this round. 

“What are you doing during the off season?”

Finally going on my honeymoon. The wife doesn’t mind me getting out of work a few weeks early so it will be nice to have that extra time together.

The Poppy War is the best war epic fantasy I've ever read. Kuang does really impressive work in the genre ESPECIALLY as a debut. I've read all her books, and I liked Poppy War the best. I don't re-read books, but I will be re-reading that trilogy!!! 

I've never read epic fantasy before because I struggle to get through the history and lore. But the way she writes it makes it so easy to digest and understand.

On my to-read. Have you read anything else from R.F. Kuang? I read Babel this summer and liked it.

No, this is my first book by her. I've been going back and forth about adding Bable to my tbr. 

Stopped reading for about 2 months due to the wedding. So you'd think being stuck at home with Covid for 2 weeks would mean catching up on a lot of reading but that was not the case since I spent most of it sleeping. But I did manage to get The Poppy War on Libby and I'm a little more than 100 pages in and really enjoying it. 

Shiver me timbers

yello

Oki dokie smokey

Hidey ho

As we quickly approach the end of the regular season we are going to do an evaluation Press conference

 

1) Did the GM live up to expectations for this season? Why?

2) Did your player live up to your expectations this season? Why?

3) Who on the team had the most significant impact on our results? Why?

4) Are you wanting to be traded, signed elsewhere, in the offseason? Why?

5) What area do we need to improve for next season? Why?

6) Who provided the most impact in the Locker Room this season, Why?

1. Hell yea! Jacob's moves in the off season definitely paid off! 

2. Beyond! I'm so proud of Jesse for breaking through and having the best season of their career. 

3. I guess the D-men. Goalie is left out to dry without them. 

4. Hell no! Jesse wants to spend their whole career with London. 

5. I think shooting is still what we need to aim to work on. More shots, more goals. 

6. Sjin! Great to have him hanging around! 

It’s a simple but nice graphic and pretty straightforward. Definitely works as a banner and call to action for the VHL as a website and forum. Maybe a little wordy in terms of the TPE details but I think overall it’s got what it needs. I like the glowing effect on the letters in the bottom half and it gives it a sort of neon feel. Overall a 4/5 rating and I think with a little tweaking, it could be a legit ad for the VHL.

Jesse Teno continues to dominate the VHL with their best season yet as they round into the last quarter of the season with an incredible 31-10-6 record including a league leading 5 shutouts. Jesse is only 3 wins away from tying their season high wins and with 18 games left, we’re pretty sure they will surpass their personal best. Jesse currently sits in 5th for wins, 1st in save percentage (0.939) among starters, and 1st in goals against average (1.97) among starters. S91 is truly turning into a career defining one for the London goalie who only has 2 more seasons left in their career. With 1 cup and 1 trophy under their belt, we wonder if this season’s performance will earn Teno a much-deserved nomination for the regular season as well as an award win. Time and the rest of the season will only tell how Teno will end up but something tells us it’s going to be an amazing rest of the season.
