Blutch

1. We're definitely better than last year. I'm pretty sure we'll make the playoffs, we have a good defense that should help our rookie goalie well. Our offense is kinda stacked too, but has a lot of young players. All in all I think we're pretty good. 2. I think we did really well, we got a good young goalie which was the most important and some good young players to fill the linup. 3. I think they're pretty good. Our GM added some good pieces that should help us this season and in the playoffs. 4. I like trivia, it's sometimes annoying to have to search the forum to find answers, but it's pretty fun. 5. Yeah, possibly Mike Greer worst move until now. We lost Zetterlund for a guy that greer seems like the only one to be high about. 6. I guess it depends where I am, if I'm on the ice in the offensive zone whe the goal is scored I celebrate with the goal scorer, if I'm on the bench or in the d zone I might go to the goalie more.

3. Yeah, I really like being part of the rebuild, when I finally come up to the VHL I'll be ready to be a big part of this team's defense. 4. This is a long off season for me, been relaxing a lot and training a little to stay in shape. 5. I'm betting on Elf Shoes @ELF_SH0ES to have a big season. 6. I think you have to do both, in training you can improve your consistency, imrpve your basics, but there is some stuff you can only learn facing real opposition in a game. 7. I'm a metalhead. Especially power metal, love me some Sabaton, Gloryhammer, Twilight Force, Alestorm. 8. Green is definitely my favorite colour too. With red and black. 10. Was rainy for a long time, the sun is finally coming out this week.

Germany plays with team asia?

1. I feel pretty good, we got some veterans and young players coming along. Next season will be better than the last one. 2. CaptainSB is the one that helped me when I first joined the VHL. And then @LucyXpher saw a Sharks fan and jumped on me. 3. Ace has been great so far, I'm confident he'll keep doing a great job. 4. I'm happy with where Kurt's at. Putting up some good points while being reliable defensively and very physical. We'll have some rookie goalies this season probably so I need to help them as much as I can. 5. I did, I was initially rooting for Finland since it was the only team that didn't have any players I didn't like, and Granlund. For the finals I was rooting for Canada though. 6. Walman like to play video games so that could be fun, Macklin is a rink rat so he's never be home, Couture looks like a pretty chill guy, likes to read, Pickles would have his dogs put fur everywhere, Zetterlund and Elkund are attached by the hip so that's a no. Yeah I'd say Couture or Walman. Burnsie would be fun too bet brinsie can't have a roommate, he has ranchmates, he needs a lot of space for his animals.

2. As I just joined the team I'm not sure what the team needs right now, I'll just hope to be able to do my part when I join move up to the team. 3. I'm kind of a history buff so I like to vacation a little, visit historical places and museums. Otherwise keep training of course to stay in shape. 4. I'd like to lead the Mississauga Hounds to come back to the VHLM playoffs. I'd like to make more hits and keep improving defensively to help my goalies. 6. Nah, I like winter, it's hockey season! 7. I never take any new year resolutions, I know I won't keep them. 9. I'd like to improve my staking and passing, I need to improve my positioning and help to make the first pass out of the zone.

1. We need to keep playing better defensively, we need to clear the puck out of our zone better and limit the number of shots the opposing teams can get. We need to play hard and make them work for each shot. 2. Zinek is a good friend and we won together. It was kinda hard to see him go but I understand the process and we got a youngster and some draft capital back to build up the future. I wish him good luck with Miami and hope he might get another trophy before giong up to the VHL. 3. We're playing better than at the start of the season, at this point I just hope we can make it into the playoffs, once we're there anything can happen. 4. If they never score you win the game by only scoring once. Trying to outscore your mistakes is a dangerous game that often doesn't really translate to the playoffs, so I'm way more in favor of a full defensive approach. 5. Defense and Checking are the most important stats, you need good positioning to stay on their backs and prevent them from making a good play. 6. I don't, I'm not a big fantasy sports kinda guy.

1. We need to play better as a team and protect our rookie goalies better. Everyone needs to do their part. 2. Just doing my job. 3. I don't really care about what the media says. We'll just have to prove them wrong. 4. The 2 really go hand in hand, especially in the defensive zone where you have to use your body to keep the opposition player fromgetting the puck. Personnaly I'd say strength though, the stronger you are the harder you hit. 5. I like it. As for an alternate colour maybe some green, like if the hound was hunting in the weeds, with some yellow/orange for morning sun colours. 6. I have my birthday in January, so that's pretty cool. Other than that I like winter so January's fine.

1. I'm optimistic. I don't know if we can repeat the title, we lost big players like Slava or Deadpanda that joined the VHL, but we'll see what happens. I hope we can make the playoffs and then anything can happen. 2. I'm hoping one of the young goalie can really distinguish himself and give us a chance to win every night. Otherwise I think Zinek will have an amazing season. 3. I'm really honored to have been named captain, I didn't expect it. With Zinek and Smith we'll do everything we can to lead this team as far as it can go and help the new guys find their way into the league. 4. I'm kind of hoping for a bounceback from last season, My first season was really good but last season was kind of a sophomore slump. I did play well in the playoffs and I hope I can continue this tendency for the coming season. My objectives are like 60 points, 200 hits and over 100 shots blocked. 5. Repeating the title is the obvious goal. But I'd say at least reach the playoffs and make the second round. We're a good team and we should aim for good success. 6. Not really, new year resolutions are something I don't really do. Most of the time it only lasts like 2 weeks anyway and most people go back to their old ways.

Thanks dude, very happy to have played alongside you, I wish you good luck for the VHL, you're a great player and I'm sure you'll do very well.

1. I believe Deadpanda could be a difference maker, he's a great goalie and we have the defense to help him shut them down. 2. I'm not super happy with my play during the regular season, kind or regressed compared to last season, but on the other hand I'm really happy with how I managed to up my play in the post season. Hitting hard, good defense, and putting up some decent points, I'm happy to be able to perform at my best when it matters. 3. Everyone is doing their part, everyone is playing his role effectively and the whole team chemistry is great. That's why we're winning. 4. Not really anymore superstitions than during the regular season. I grow a playoffs beard though, but it's more because it's a cool tradition than a superstition. 5. I believe so. I haven't really studied the thing but looking at how different both conferences were during the regular season, I believe the suppression of the VHLE played a role in that. 6. I'm mostly a stay at home guy, on and off the ice, I like to play video games, watch movies and series, this type of stuff.

1. We need to keep playing good defense, help our goalies and offense comes for good defense. Kepp doing what we're doing right now and we'll have success. 2. I'm not sure about the details, but my guess would be that the elimination of the VHLE and the redistribution of it's players in the VHLM probably played a role in it. 3. I hope so. Ozzy was a good player for us and he'll be missed. OConnor seems to be a really good player, already 2 goals and 3 points in his fist 2 games with the team. We'll welcome these guys and they'll fit right in. 4. Not really, I admit I'm quite disapointed with my season so far. I'm doing worse both offensively and defensively compared to last season. I'm kinda putting it as just a sophomore slump and hopes next season will be better. At least the team is doing great so there is that. 5. I think next season will be another full season in the VHLM. 6. I'd say between 18-22 °C is really nice. I could deal with lower temperatures, but over 25 becomes way too hot.

1. Yes I did, and I welcomed the newcomers into the locker room at the same time. It was pretty long though, especially towards the end. 2. Last season we had a good regular season, I hope we can at least match that. I think we can go pretty far this year, I predicted last year that we could go all the way and I was wrong but hey, I feel like we could do better this year. 3. Keep getting better, especially defensively, I don't want to see a - in my stat line at the end of the game. And add lots of hits. 4. I managed to reach 66 points last year, I'd say I'd like to reach 60 points again, reaching a point per game would be really cool but as a defensive defenseman it's not really the main objective. The other objective would be reaching 250 hits, that would be very cool. 5. I don't really know, I think it's a group thing that grows naturally. I try to send a message after a sim, people engage or not, it's depends on everyone. The people that interact the most putting on a good atmosphere should help the more shy people to participate. 6. An interesting colour? I've got colours I like, but never really though of it as interesting. Maybe teal? Like SJ Sharks teal, it's a mix of blue and green so it's kinda interesting. Otherwise I'm a big green guy and my favorite colour is maybe Olive Green.

Hi, thanks for the shoutout! I'll do my best to keep on this good trajectory! And thanks for your daughter for choosing me

1. I'd say it was a success. Kurt played very well and exceded my expectations and we had a really good regular season. It was also a good first season for our GM who made some good trades. I think we're setup to be good next season. 2. Being a first gen I don't really have an opinion about the VHLE. I like the idea of spending a little more time with the guys your player 'grow up' with in the VHLM, changing team only to go to the VHL. 3. I don't plan to change anything about how I'm gonna develop Kurt, he's slowly but surely becoming a good defenseman that I can be proud of, I just plan on keeping him on the current steady pace. 4. I don't follow the VHL so I don't know. 5. I've never been in an NHL size arena, but in a smaller one I've been on the last ring of seats and the view was nice, being high up gives you and overview of the whole ice and it's kinda cool. Being behind someone very tall is way more annoying, you can't see anything. 6. I'm a metal guy, there are a lot of good choices, Sabaton is epic and gets you ready to fight, but there are some other high energy bands that are super fun like Alestorm, Gloryhammer or even Electric Callboy that are great to pump up the mood.

1. I'm very happy with Kurt's season. He definitely expected my expectations, especially in points. 2. Great GM, keeps a good mood in the locker room, keep guys engaged, made good moves at the deadline. Nothing bad to say about the guy. 3. I think we're a great 2-way team, we score goals and we can shut down defensively. We need to keep hitting them until they can't score anymore and we'll win. 4. Slava Kovalenko is a strong contender in my opinion, great at both ends of the ice, 1st in points for dmen, 4th in blocked shots. It's probably gonna be one of the flashy offensive players that put up more points, but Slava is my pick. 5. Kurt does the playoff beard, but other than that not really, just keep preparing every day like in the regular season, especially after a successful one like this, up the intensity on the ice to skate faster and hit harder. 6. Europe, especially France and Germany. We've got everything from plains to mountains, hot and cold, historical monuments, beautiful castles, best place in the world.
