For week ending 5/19/24

Answer 6, get 2 TPE. Answer 3, get 1 TPE

 

1. Whole bunch of moves this off season including some new teammates. How are you feeling about the shuffle?

2. If you could bring one player to London (no limits) who would it be?

3. Do you think we have one more good season in us before the true rebuild begins?

4. If Jacob were to leave his GM position to one United member, who do you think it would be?

5. What do you think is going to be our biggest struggle this upcoming season?

6. Riddle: When is a door not a door?

1.  The team is looking awesome!  I'd say basically everything has been improved on offense.  Hopefully we can grab a big Dman and as much as I like Dilson, they are no Teno but they will still be an amazing goalie to have!

2.  Liv Slater!  My wife would be a wonderful addition especially because she is a top Dman!  Been stuck in Vancouver, caged by Frank lol

3.  Absolutely!  With the pieces Jacob added we are heading to the playoffs again for sure.  I want a taste of the finals one last time!

4.  You!  Aimkin all the way! Lol I suspect Sjin would take it if offered but with Ricer in the LR now we know who the successor would likely be.

5.  While AGMing in Helsinki it felt like Simon had limited capacity for great goalies.  Rask went from very good the season before to not great with a flick of that slider.  The separation between the best goalies and everyone else was significant.  Hopefully Dilson is chosen lol they deserve it!

6.  When it's open?  I don't know lol I feel like the main function of a door is to be closed, keep things out or in but if it's open, it might as well just be a hole in the wall.

I love Desharnais.

@LucyXpher  Thank you for waiting! lol
 

Not even close.  I don't lose sleep over a loss in the VHL even if it's a playoff game but I will think about a missed play from my teams of choice in real life for days.

Claiming from my media spot last week.  Pombo!

I was there to watch this.  Riveting.

Congrats to the S93 Continental Cup Champions, the Seattle Bears!
 

Playing in front of Teno for my whole career has been a huge pleasure!  You have allowed Leonard to make the playoffs for every season of his career so far and that has been an unexpected part of this whole journey!  Glad to still have you in the LR as the AGM.  London is the way it is because of you and Teno!

An extremely tough position to fill and that isn't even taking into consideration the one that came before.  Are any other VHL tendies willing to take up the mantle?  Are any even capable?

Lovely series!  GG Seattle!

Certainly shows who wants to win the award the most.  Not my style but you make a case.

A great team, an amazing GM and a fantastic season!  Super happy with this group going all the way.  Some will retire or find opportunity elsewhere but we will forever be UNITED!

Leonard Triller - OV

Congratulations to the Oslo Storm becoming the Renaissance Cup Champions for S93!

Congrats to the S93 Founders Cup Champions, the Saskatoon Wild!

Also to some public transit is batshit awful as an option. It would take me over an hour and a half to get to work if I had to take the bus, that's just not something I'm capable of doing. The EV was honestly "spend a bit more now but save way more in the long term"

I had to spend 1h 10min on transit cause with traffic, driving would have taken 2 hours.  EV was never even an option due to living in an old apartment building.  Saved for a house and drove the same car for 15 years instead.  Pontiac Vibe held it down when I needed it and it was all I needed.  When I retire and the kids are out of the house then maybe I will snatch the car I've wanted back since I sold it.

Vehicles are so stupid expensive these days along with everything else I couldn't imagine prioritizing my car, beyond simply being reliable, unless that vehicle was my means of making money.  Owing on a vehicle would drive me nuts but to some, owing is simply a constant these days.

New week, new presser!  No one word answers. 3 questions for 1 TPE, all 6 for 2 TPE!

1.  My player plays his last season next season. How have you/would you celebrate your player's last season?

2.  I'm about to get a haircut as I write this. Do you care who cuts your hair or do you always go to the same person?

3.  Have you ever created a player in tandem with someone else with the intent to build a story between the two?

4.  What would help you feel even more invested in the VHL?

5.  Sam has final exams going on, share some encouraging words!

6.  What is your dream refrigerator? Yes, I said refrigerator.

Respond to my draft interview! lol  nice graphic as well!

Dearest Pombo,

     I hope this correspondence finds you comfortable and happy even with the far too early exit caused by your playoff foes, the Bulls from Houston.  My name is Triller and I am representing the Titans of Helsinki as the Assistant to the General Manager.  You may recall our first interaction after your team's home game win against those pesky fish from San Diego in which your Aces supplied their gracious fans with a very impactful 7-3 win.  You had received the second star of the game for providing your team with a fabulous first period goal along with three wonderful helpers.  After your interview with the off-ice correspondent of the respectable Victory Sports Network, I was able to get your attention hoping to chat with you in regards to the upcoming S94 Victory Hockey League Entry Draft.  Though scouting is not my official job title, it does fall into the purview of my duties and there is no one I had wished to meet more than yourself, but I digress - in the confusion of the post game excitement you must have mistaken me as one of your team's equipment keepers and saw my outstretched arms as the caring location to which your sweat drenched gloves could be dried, sanitized and detailed for the Aces second game in the back to back meeting with the Marlins.  Though the meeting did not go the way I had dreamed it would, I did manage to get out of the arena with your magical mitts tucked gently under my waistcoat without attracting any attention.  

     Your gloves now rest on my office shelves in the Titans Complex and remain a constant motivator and reminder that I will achieve one of my life's greatest goals by bringing you into the Helsinki organization through the draft and returning these tools of destruction to the hands that best wield them.  Your performance this season came as no surprise to anyone who knows the game of Puck Stick like I do.  Your hockey IQ and bloodhound-like nose for the net makes you the pinnacle of your class and topping the scoring race is the most basic way of helping the plebeians of the sport understand, through simple numbers, that you should be their focus if they want to bring a new level of attention to their teams and cities.  However, they fail to read and recognize the spirit of a true goal scorer beyond the stats sheet.  Someone who never simply shoots for the back of the net, but shoots with the mindset of putting the puck THROUGH the back of the net.  You don’t, “tickle the twine”, “pop the bottle” or “light the lamp”.  You “eviscerate the twine”, “devastate the bottle” and “engulf the lamp in endless flame” with your ability to make defending goalies second and third guess their life choice to be in opposition of you.

     Helsinki and its people are wonderfully accommodating and provide an amazing place for our players and our team to grow and prosper.  We are building for the future and never more do I need my transition glasses than when I peer into that bright, lens flared future with you as one of the main set pieces of our leadership group.  We have amazing players currently associated with our team and they will be leaned on to represent the organization and grow into a team that will be ready when our other prospects and yourself emerge to carve a deep path into the Victory Hockey league as you represent all those wonderfully accommodating people of Helsinki.

     Other, less equipped, Assistants to General Managers may reach out to you with weak, limp wrists and soft, oddly moist hands in hopes that you will build a preference for their organizations but remember, I have the means for you to avoid the wet, wilting pieces of lettuce that they call hands…your gloves.  Join us as a Titan of Helsinki and let the name of Pombo rise into the elegant spruce rafters that house our passionate and dedicated fans.  Hear them chant your name and let it echo to the peaks of the mighty Loukkumaki.  Become a Titan.

Thank You
AGM to Helsinki, Triller
