  10. Calgary Wranglers Press Conference Week Ending February 26, 2023 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?
  11. Fans stand up and cheer for their team as the game is about to begin. One of the craziest experiences our players will face will be their opponents who are constantly back-and-forth on giving or taking wins, the electrifying hype in each other's arenas to celebrate the gladiators of the hockey arena, the constant player and fans chirping, and emotions always running high. This. Win. Matters. For VHL rookie Nikolas Kauppi of the Prague Phantoms, this is especially true for not only the teams he's faced since the start in the Minors but also fellow rookies fighting for the title of Rookie of the Year in the VHL. Rivalries are an incredible source of inspiration, motivation, and overall morale. Let's start where it all began -- the VHLM. After lacing up for a few games for the Saskatoon Wild, Kauppi found himself traded to the Mexico City Kings. In his first ever season he would actually find himself in the playoffs and score only one playoff goal, but only to be eliminated in the semi-finals 1-4 against the Las Vegas Aces. In his second VHLM season serving as captain, Kauppi and the Kings had a tough start of the season but finished it strong enough to be in the playoffs. Once again, the Kings would find themselves against the Aces in the semi-finals. Eager to deny the Aces a spot in the finals, the Kings fought hard all the way to game 7 where they unfortunately lost 2-5. The Mexico City Kings are currently #1 overall in the league with 77 points (as of this post) and have left the Las Vegas Aces in the dust where they stand at 30 points. Despite this, I believe the rivalry between the Kings and Aces is real and true, and will continue until the end of time. Also, #blamecole @badcolethetitan The face off. A quick duel to gain possession of the puck first. As most of us know, after our players are finished in the Minors they graduate to the European league. Kauppi's next stop? Norway, home of the Oslo Storm where he played for one season as an alternate captain bearing the pressure of continuing the Storm's Renaissance Cup championship the season prior. Once again, his team finds it difficult in the beginning of the season. There were a couple of teams that gave the Storm some grief, but one in particular stood out the most -- the Cologne Express. Out of the 10 regular season games played against them, Oslo only won 3 of those. Concerning the playoffs, even if Oslo managed to get a wild card slot, it was more than likely a team like Cologne would eliminate them with ease. It was the middle of the season when the GM @JB123 had finally had enough and lit a fire under his captain's asses. Step up or step out, we're getting that damn Cup again. And just like a miracle on 34th street, that fire was blazing a playoff trail that, at the end of the season, granted them a chance of entry as a wild card. After a decisive 2-0 series win against the Istanbul Red Wolves, the semi-finals against the Cologne Express was up next. Nerves were wracked in this series, but Oslo stayed resolute. However, in game 6 it was yet again another miracle. All Oslo had to do was win this game, and despite being outshot 50 to 26, @SebastienDokis scored the game winning goal in the 3rd period. The Storm, against all odds, defeated a rival seemingly unmatched by any other team in the E. Afterwards, Oslo went on to face Rome in the finals and defeated them in game 7 with a score of 3-1. They did it. The Oslo Storm, the first team in VHLE history to hoist the Renaissance Cup twice in a row. As it stands now, Oslo and Cologne are neck-and-neck at the top in the regular season standings and it would be incredible to see the two rivals duke it out in the finals, and even more so to see Oslo win it a third time. Two players, likely rivals, fighting on the ice. With a championship title finally under his wing, Kauppi finally enters into the VHL. Skates still blazing hot from his last victory, he entered training camp with stars in his eyes and a newfound appreciation for the sport. However, like clockwork with a new team, he struggled to find his footing and the losses start accumulating like snow in a blizzard at the start of the season. Now, I'm not familiar with Prague's (or any team's, really) history or rivals, except last season where they made it to the finals. Unfortunately, it wasn't an easy feat either. In the quarter-finals, they took the Warsaw Predators to game 7 and won 8-5. In the semi-finals, they took HC Davos Dynamo to game 7 as well and won 3-1. When the Phantoms stood face-to-face against the Vancouver Wolves they also went to game 7, but lost in a very close match that ended 1-2 in overtime. Now representing Prague, Kauppi hopes to eventually prove his worth to the franchise and help bring their first Continental Cup home. Prague's status in the standings seem dire, but instead of the championship cup Kauppi's eyes are affixed to the rookie standings. Understanding he likely has no chance against goalie Matt Murdock @Acydburn, he pays no mind to that and instead focuses on players currently at the top like Larry Abass Jr @RileyL, Sadie St-Louis @sadie, and defenseman Quinn Clark @axtron. Not only did Kauppi not see himself anywhere close to the top (at least for now) for rookies because of his play style, but the player right above him...is a former rival. Abass Jr. of the Calgary Wranglers, currently in the lead with 39 points, was also on his rival team the Las Vegas Aces. He may just be the player to put the spurs into Kauppi's sides enough to feed his ambition. As far as teams go, it could be Vancouver that are Prague's rival. In fact out of the 3 games we've played against them we've won 2 of them and have one more before the season ends, and while Kauppi loves the sport and the challenge...his blazing trail has changed direction from a team to a potential rookie of the year. Watch out, Larry Abass Jr., I'm taking that number one spot at the end of the season! 1044 words, claiming as PT for weeks ending February 19 and March 5, 2023. ALSO THEME WEEK YPE.
  12. "Chicken fried" just refers to the way in which the food is cooked. So, it's just a steak that is breaded and cooked like fried chicken.
  13. Calgary Wranglers Press Conference Week ending January 19, 2023 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.)
  14. a. I think it makes it interesting in the way that it pretty much forces GMs to move their lines around constantly because of it. b. Sometimes I do at work. A lot less lately, tbh. c. I know what that is, but I'm not entirely sure how it works. So, a shot in the dark guess with Seattle. 1. Is there a team you haven't scored against yet? Goalies - Which team (likely a rival) are you really wanting to shut out? 2. How well has your player evolved or molded since the M? 3. What show are you currently binging?
  15. This is actually a great idea that I might consider.
  16. WOOO THEME WEEK! LET'S GOO
