Doomsday

Blessed be Wawa!

You did good, Mooner. You weren't put into the easiest situation, but you persevered, ended one of the VHL's longer cup droughts, and turned Toronto into a legitimate contender season after season. Not only that, you've set up the team to be in great shape for a smooth transfer to a more than qualified assistant. You've truly left Toronto in a better place than you found it. Job well done, sir!

TALLY HO LADS

They're baaaaaaack!! You ONLY have to answer six of the eight questions! WEEK OF OCTOBER 7TH TO OCTOBER 13TH 1. Over the off-season, Chicago added veteran defender Celise Pereira through a trade and also acquired defenseman Feka Ohi Kau and goaltender RicerFourteen in the draft. As a veteran of the team, how would you best welcome them, or as one of the newcomers, what has you the most excited to be a part of the Chicago Phoenix? 2. The Chicago Phoenix once again have an AGM, with Doomsday stepping into the role after the folding of the VHLE. On a scale of 0 to 10, how terrible of a decision was this for Cole to make? 3. Speaking of the folding of the VHLE, what are your thoughts on that? 4. The Utah Hockey Club is set to play their very first NHL game this week.

The MLB Playoffs have been nothing short of wild this season, who do you see prevailing and winning the World Series? 8. What is your go-to convenience store?

1. All eyes are on Matvei Michkov, and he has looked fantastic in the preseason. This will likely be another borderline playoff season, but with Michkov making it over the excitement is through the roof now in Philadelphia. 2. To increase my banked TPE even more to bitchslap another round of regression away. 3. Prague's logo and colors are just so cool and unique. It really stands apart from the rest of the league. 1. Between Toronto and Riga, which Season 95 Conference Champion has the best chance of returning to the Cup Finals? 2. What is your favorite all-time VHL player name? 3. Do chicken nuggets taste better when they're shaped like a dinosaur?

YaBoi Oven - Defensive Coverage

1. North American: Los Angeles Stars -> Yukon Rush The Stars have pretty much the exact same color motif as the Vancouver Wolves, who have been around far longer. Why not shake it up and bring back a famous Canadian franchise, taking it a step further by bringing them to the big leagues? This would be absolutely incredible. European: Moscow Menace -> Berlin Blitz I don't have anything at all against Moscow or their theme, but with today's political climate, it would be pretty likely that the organization would have to relocate. In their place, I want the Berlin Blitz to become a reality, complete with that badass Tiger I design that was made for them. MAKE IT HAPPEN. 2. Body Checking, just to become an absolute hits monster on top of being awesome elsewhere. 3. I don't know him personally, but Terry Crews is exactly the type of nerd that would be into something like this and absolute hysterics would come with it. 1. What sport really needs a new/better sim league? 2. What are your thoughts about the VHLE closing up shop? 3. What is the most underrated fruit, in your opinion?

1. Chicago gonna win the whole fuckin' thing!! 2. The HC Davos Dynamo will always have a special place in my heart for the amazing run I had there with my first player. 3. Bummed, because I absolutely love the summer and the beautiful weather it brings. I don't care much for the cold at all, but at least football returns with it! 1. Who is your favorite graphic artist in the VHL? 2. Who is your favorite writer in the VHL? 3. What's the most interesting thing you've ever found out in public?

1. You can't go wrong with @CowboyinAmerica or @OrbitingDeath , both of them have a knack for producing the kind of legendary player you would dream of starting a franchise with. 2. Water, no doubt about it. You need it to survive and it isn't loaded with sugar. 3. On pace to set career highs in goals, assists, and points, fingers crossed! 1. What's the dumbest commercial you've ever seen? 2. What VHL player, for better or for worse, is having the most surprising season? 3. What's the most underrated STHS attribute?

1. Berlin Blitz, because that logo with the Tiger I ruled and I will fight anyone who disagrees. 2. Football, I've loved it for as long as I can remember. Love the strategy to the game. 3. Chicago Phoenix, next question. 1. When will Cole post another press conference for Chicago? 2. What's a video game/movie/book that you absolutely love, but doesn't really get a lot of praise or attention? 3. What celebrity do you think is most likely to secretly be a member of the VHL?

I have NFL.com, Yahoo, ESPN, and Sleeper, I am in!!

1. YaBoi is playing very well, as is Chicago as a whole. Currently on a point skid, but he'll be back to his scoring ways shortly! 2. I'm thinking something calming, something mellow. Pink Floyd is ideal for this! 3. Yes - find the time to spend with your funniest friend. The secret to health is laughter, and nothing remedies that like good times and laughter. 1. What's the most unexpected aspect of this season for you so far? 2. The NHL season is just around the corner, how are you feeling about your team's chances? 3. Which VHL member would, in your opinion, the most fun to spend a night on the town with?

What is up, it is YaBoi Hat Trick!!

Well-deserved, a fantastic teammate, friend, and ambassador of this great franchise!!

2. I knew we were capable of being this great, but it has been about as perfect of a start as I could have hoped for. But we need to maintain this pace for it to have meant anything. 3. I guess anyone who wants an overrated forward that can't/refuses to play defense and whines/complains about coaches can have him. 4. Seattle is a team that can never be truly counted out unless they themselves throw in the towel. They've got a talented lineup through and through and when they're clicking, they're tough to stop. 5. YaBoi has been very feast or famine so far. It's leading to some nice stats, but I'd prefer a more consistent approach on a game-to-game basis. Help win more games. 7. I think the boys are always hyped to play Calgary as they're such important games for both teams. You can't afford to come out flat against a conference rival when you have playoff aspirations. 8. NFL: Dallas Cowboys - FOR THE LOVE OF GOD JERRY, SIGN CEEDEE. PAY THE MAN HIS MONEY. NCAA: Penn State Nittany Lions - Should be another fun year, hoping all the added competition to the B1G makes them a tougher team this season!

1. A popular pastime of the Chicago Phoenix is golf, more beloved by some than others. We're hoping to have less time for it this year though! 2. VHL players are unbreakable, so they would absolutely be able to play without fear of injury. The World Cup goes off without a hitch, so they should be able to handle the Olympics just fine! 3. A co-worker of mine showed me her method - swallowing water while your head is upside down. Unconventional, but I have tried it and it actually seems to work, so I stuck with it! 1. Did you pay any attention to the Olympics this year? 2. What is the achievement you want to make in the VHL the most? 3. What is an antiquated item that you feel is still very useful?
