1.) Happy St. Patrick's Day, anyone celebrating the occasion or is this one of the holidays you pass on? It's not really for me. Lately I haven't really been celebrating any holidays. 2.) Obviously Prague is struggling a bit, not even currently in a Wild Card spot, what's the panic level on this team in your opinion? It's still very early. It isn't like we are out of contention. I trust Tet, so I'm not worried at all. 3.) What area of the team are you looking to see GM @Tetricide improve if any? Do you want to see trades or just simple line changes? I don't think we need trades. We've got a good team, we just need to focus in on the special teams. 4.) Recently, Warsaw lost a game 9-0 in which they only took 8 shots total (zero in the 3rd period). If you were a fan of the team at the arena, how early do you leave, and do some of you possessions get thrown on the ice to show your displeasure? No fan ever likes to see that. I would hope I wasn't sitting in seats that were very expensive. I'd probably leave early into the third because it looks like they pretty much gave up at that point. 5.) How do you feel about @Mutti Ondrej Vencko 's stellar SV% and effort for the team so far? I'm really happy with what Vencko has done so far. As a team, we've got to be better in front of him so he doesn't have to make so many saves. He's averaging more than 30 saves a game. 6.) What rookie do you feel is shining the most so far between @minman Lucy Moreau, @Acydburn Brigitta Sandstrom, or @FiZi Filip Zinek? Stats wise, Sandstorm is killing it. 14 points in 16 games and leading the team in shots blocked. They're all doing great overall though.

1.) Prague now welcomes a new member via Free Agency in Filip Zinek @FiZi, how do we feel about the addition to the team? I'm really happy with the pickup. I had the privilege of working with Fizi in Mississauga. He was the back to back winner of the Matt Bentz Trophy, so we know we're getting a solid two-way forward. 2.) Where do you see your player in the lineup or the league in general in the next 3 seasons? I think I can be a solid first line forward who can put up 90+ points. 3.) What team is our number one rival in this upcoming season, or even just your player's personal rivals? I think Davos. They are a great team, so we need to bring our A game every time we play them. 4.) If the VHL had direct affiliation with VHLM teams, which one would be tied to Prague? Theme-wise, the Reapers. 5.) How excited are you for this season to finally start?? I'm very excited. Playing for a new team is always exciting. Plus I came into the season with a few new skills so I'm looking forward to getting some career high stats. 6.) What post game team team tradition would be cool to establish after wins? I think we should recognize the players who excelled the most. I think it motivates players to keep improving.

1.) What's poppin', Prague?! Apologies for the super delayed presser for the week... I hope you can forgive us in the admin offices. Let's get to it! We kept our 1st rounder for the S98 draft and drafted Alex Bridges IV @Oatex at 7th overall! A very talented prospect with a positive outlook for his career and was fantastic to chat with during the interview process. Please join me in welcoming him if you haven't already! Do you have any advice or words of wisdom to pass down to our upcoming Phantom? Welcome Oatex! No advice from me. I'm excited to play with you in the coming seasons! 2.) The start of the season is right around the corner! Mark your calendars for March 12th... What has your player been working on while in Training Camps? Stefano is working on being a more physical player and stronger on the puck. It's time to have more possessions and set up the team for as many goals as possible. 3.) How do you feel the team stands with our current roster/line-up vs the rest of the European conference? I'm really excited about the direction the team is going. We've got solid defense and the changes to forwards has set us up really well for the future. I think our goaltending tandem are going to do really well this season too. 4.) If you watched the VHL draft, which pick surprised you the most? If you didn't, you can look at the draft board here to take a gander at who was picked in each round! Hey...could come in handy in a future trivia question... I was most surprised by the number of players. Only two rounds were drafted, but I think that is a product of being so close to S100. 5.) What are your thoughts on the Mikko Rantanen/Logan Stankoven trade? I haven't really followed what has happened to Rantanen, but from what I heard, he wasn't too happy about the initial trade to Carolina. As much as the players want to help their teams, I do think it's important that they think about themselves too and their family's needs. 6.) What are you up to this weekend?! Saturday was board game night. Sunday is BG3 night. I'm off work for the rest of the week too so it will be a restful time.

@Pifferfish

1. Draft is fast approaching and we are picking 7th, anyone you'd particularly be interested in us drafting? I totally missed the draft. I am really happy with who we picked up though. 2. Have you been paying attention to the forum content and drama around the trades of some of the other teams? A bit. I feel like it is really hard to gauge how draft picks are going to turn out, just like in real life. I think that as long as GMs are trying to make their team competitive, they are doing a good job. 3. How close to the start of the season will your player get back in gym and start training? Maybe just a bit before training camp. TPE wise, I'm waiting to hit a goal amount and get a big boost to my stats. 4. Does your player have a home outside of Prague for the offseason, or do they slum it in Czechia year round? If they have accomodations elsewhere during the offseason, where? Stefano would usually spend a lot of time back home in Ottawa, but since this is his first season in Prague, he is getting to know the city better by sticking around. 5. What is your player's go to cheat day meal? At least 4 different types of pastas. Loaded up with so much cheese and meat and spice. 6. Where do you think you'll be at in TPE by the end of S98? I'm hoping to be pretty close to or exceeding 1000TPE

@LucyXpher

1. Howdy Phantoms, I'm your new AGM, Petr Pekař! How do you feel about my own addition to the Front Office? I'm very happy about it. As the first person to welcome me into the VHL, it's nice to have a familiar face on a new team. 2. Multiple trades find the team with a new look next season, how do you feel about the additions of Lucy Leitner @LucyXpher and Matteo Stefano @mmrs617? I'm happy to be here. I'm excited to see what I can do. As for Lucy, she is always a good addition to any team. 3. With these additions there was some subtraction. We lost our prospect Dog Jagr @koty_k. Anything you want to say about what this means to you to have a solid young player on their way out, even if it means improving? It's hard to lose prospects, but there are still lots of time to rebuild that pool. 4. Congratulations to those moving up to the VHL this season! That list includes Brigitta Sandstrom @Acydburn and Luc Moreau @minman. If you are someone moving up, any thoughts on your upcoming rookie season? If you are returning, what kind of impact are you expecting from the youngsters in S98? I think they're set to have a pretty impactful first season. This is a great place for minman to build their player as there are lots of veteran VHLers. It's always a boost to have a member like Acyd on the team. They bring a lot of experience. 5. Many other teams made moves so far, any comments on what our EU Conference competitors have done so far in Davos, Malmo, and Helsinki? I think things have been shaken up a bit. I feel we are set for a big improvement on last season's record and will be a challenge for those top teams. 6. Are you involved in any of the upcoming offseason tournaments either as a player or GM, if so which one and in what roles? I'm not this season. I've taken a bit of a step back to focus on IRL things, but still earning to be ready for the season.

@samx

1. I'm late to the party on this one. Seattle deserved this win and they are putting up a good fight against us. 2. I don't think this one really matters as much. I think Malmo is going to take it. 3. I didn't have a preference. Frank has put together a great team that is ready to take on anyone. 4. 10. We have been hitting on all cylinders this season. 5 players with 100+ points and another with 80+ and a goalie second in wins makes a great all around team. 5. 3. They are going to do great, but will be eliminated in the finals. 6. It's not that I don't look forward to it, it just feels like another day.
