S96 World Cup of Hockey GMs Announcement
VattghernCZ replied to rory's topic in WC Team Announcements
FrostBeard is not GMing Eastern Europe? Isn't that like one of the ten plagues or something? -
Thank you for the opportunity, I hope I'll do half as good of a job as JCarson did!

True that, he never shows up to play when it matters

WH: That's right, these were the amazing Anaal Nathrakh from Birmingham and their banger of a song, So Be It. We're back in the TalkSport 2 studio, Willow Hopkins here, live with Alex Greenfold of London United. Thank you for joining us here, Alex! AG: No problem at all; happy to be here! WH: So, the fourth overall draft pick has arrived. How did it feel to be drafted by the United? What were your thoughts? AG: Yeah, first of all, I wasn't expecting to be picked nowhere near this high; you know, I don't think I really stood out during my draft year. But the United apparently saw something here, so now, my part of the deal is to make them not regret it. Yeah, I was really happy to be drafted by the team my dad played for. Obviously, he is ecstatic about it. WH: Oh, your dad played here? AG: Yeah, Wann Kerr. My adoptive dad. I was surprised by the warm welcome upon arriving here. He's still popular among some fans, it seems like. WH: The different name confused me, I see. After the draft, you stayed in Mexico City. Did you maybe think about jumping straight to the big league? AG: Yeah, the United are currently in the early stage of a rebuild. We, I mean GM Bob and myself, decided it would be best for my long-term development to stay in the M - or what should have been in the E - to work out some kinks in my game. WH: And how do you feel about your last year before coming here? Do you think you made strides towards being a successful VHL player? AG: It was a pretty rough season for my team, the Mexico City Kings. We had lots of troubles scoring goals, and when we cheated on defence, we got burned. As for my game, I've been focusing on defending, physical play, and mobility. If I'm going to succeed at the top level, these are my calling cards. WH: So as of now, what do you as a player bring to the table? What are your expectations for your first season in London? AG: It's hard to tell. The team is coming together; it's all a part of a greater plan. Even if we're not as successful as the fans would like to see in the next season. I'm going to accept any challenge my coaches throw my way. I think I can thrive in the defensive zone and on the penalty kill, so I guess this is what I bring. Some steady play on the blueline. I know fans want to see goals and points; we'll see how well this goes. Dad challenged me to record 30 points; he said he's going to stay away from beer for 30 days if I do, so of course that's what I'm aiming for. WH: Nothing quite like the father-son love. You've touched on this, but what are your expectations for the team? Have you already met your new teammates? AG: Yeah, Chazz is my Mexico teammate, and we've been in touch with Drosmis. But I haven't had the chance to meet the rest of the team yet. And there will surely be some moves made in the offseason. You can't really evaluate a team at this point. But I think there's an unwritten plan that this year will be focused heavily on development and building team chemistry. I think that's how the team's success will be measured, rather than in standing points. WH: You've heard it, fans: get ready for another lean year for London hockey! Last question before a little break: How do you like the city, Alex? AG: It's nice. Full of history, obviously. I've lived and studied here for a few years, when my dad played here, so I'm not in such awe from visiting a place for the first time. Maybe a bit too many tourists for my liking. WH: Old, boring, and crowded city, according to Alex Greenfold, folks! Thank you, Alex, for joining us, and thank you, listeners, for tuning in for today's interview. We will continue with some questions coming from the fans in a moment, but now, another Birmingham band - Napalm Death - and their song Fallacy Dominion.

Crashing your press conf, I don't feel like coming up with questions for answer 3 ask 3. 1. Already switched from beer to mulled wine and hot cider, so it's been nice. There was some snow for a couple of days, but it's gone now, there hasn't been white Christmas for at least a decade here. And yeah, I'm definitely stressing out, it's the most stressing time of the year work-wise! Let it be over! 2. Grønvold has already moved to London to check out the team facilities, and to work with the conditioning staff in person. While enjoying copious amount of fish, without chips. 3. I'm still employed by the same company I started working for 10 years ago, albeot at different position. I've never worked a different job, so my current job is both my least favorite and the most favorite. 4. I'm Czech, so I'm supposed to like football (soccer) but I don't, it's so boring. I'd take you all to watch some HEMA fights with longsword. 5. Obviously health, but let's be realistic. Something I'd like to have, but can't bring myself to buy it on my own. Like, I want a 10+ feet long stuffed snake, but any time I tell someone, they think I'm joking. 6. I love DnD. And as is obvious for any fellow fan from just looking at my username, I love The Witcher games and books (fuck the Netflix show), The Witcher 3 is my favorite videogame, and I doubt it will ever be topped.

S96 World Junior Championship GM Application
VattghernCZ replied to LucyXpher's topic in Job Interviews
Got Europe to the finals last offseason, but didn't clutch it. I'd like to get a 2nd chance! Applying for Europe, or I can AGM Europe -
Next offseason, I'll do a similar thing on all things defense, stuff like pass interceptions, puck retrievals etc. So I'm sure CGY will be a highlight once again!

It wouldn't be surprising if I goofed it up, the dumbass is strong in this one.

We have a projector and we screen the games on the outer wall of our house, no one should have to give the VHL money. It's all used to fuel the commishes' Clue Glue sniffing addiction anyway.

Simple solution mate...just watch the game like we do in the Wanker household - with a bottle of rum and a yo-ho-ho

Mexico City Kings Press Conference Week
VattghernCZ replied to JCarson's topic in Team Press Conferences
1. I've already posted it this offseason, but I guess it's my new thing to post a massive media spot with uselessly in-depth analytics of something. I already have a plan for next offseason article. 2. Nothing, really. I just hope it won't be too long. 3. It's my player's rookie season in the top league, of course I'm excited about that. Even though London is in a rebuild, so I don't expect much team success. 4. It might sound weird, but I hope Simon doesn't find the good stuff and doesn't make London elite. We need another top 5 pick or two before turning it around. 5. To put up a 2k+ media spot with uselessly in-depth analytics. Done. 6. Definitely! I need to outearn my first gen's 1700-something and I want to cap Grønvold at around 1200tpa. I'm all about that max earning life! -
