9. Tell me about the best VHL player you've had in the past?

1. Hogan had a slow start but recently burst into the top 10 defensemen and is not sitting at #4. I'm pretty happy with how he's playing and I think I may be able to climb a bit more.

2. More activity always makes a locker room more exciting, more voices and more people lets more things happen.

4. Nike's, I usually like mostly black shoes and Nike has good designs that I find fit well.

5. I'm a fan of both Davos and Bratislava. For Davos, I just like the colour design and how minimalist of a logo it is. Despite being a basic circle logo, it shows off that they're a hockey team and showcases their mountains. For Bratislava, it looks similar to one of my local teams alternate logo's and I've always liked theirs.

3. I think it's gotta be both of our goalies, they both sit among the top of the league in most stats and it's pretty insane to see that.

9. My first and best VHL players was Hulk Hogan. He put up nearly 550 points as a defensemen and won 4 cups with Seattle. He was never a top player in the league but he was consistently top 10 in the league in both assists and defensemen points. I hope to replicate his career but better with Hulk Hogan 2.

(Just answer at least 6 of the questions for 2 TPE)

 

 

1. We just traded for Daniel Janser, what are your thoughts?

 

2.Do you think we will have a player to hit 100 points this season?

 

3. Who would you rather meet in the playoffs?

 

4.Are you ready for Christmas?

 

5.The NHL has pulled out of the Olympics, how do you feel about it?

 

6.Will you have a turkey, duck, or ham sitting on your dinner table for Christmas?

 

7. What is your favorite genre of music?

 

8.  Do you currently have a show you're indulged in? I finished shameless and now looking for something else lol.

 

9. What is the funniest joke you know? 

[DarkSpyro 764]

1. We just traded for Daniel Janser, what are your thoughts?

 

1. A great acquisition! I’m looking forward to see how his play develops with our squad.

 

2.Do you think we will have a player to hit 100 points this season?

 

2. Absolutely. Hogan 2 and Li are both already at 75 points in 58 games. It might be a close cut, but I faith in them both to crack 100.

 

4.Are you ready for Christmas?

 

4. Ofcourse! I had a 2nd son and he is 5 month old now. This will be his first Xmas so the whole family is excited.

 

5.The NHL has pulled out of the Olympics, how do you feel about it?

 

5. I don’t think it’s the end of the world, but it is disappointing. I personally enjoy seeing the best hockey players in the world play in the Olympics, representing their country while giving us entertaining line combinations that we wouldn’t see anywhere else.

 

6.Will you have a turkey, duck, or ham sitting on your dinner table for Christmas?

 

6. Most likely Ham and a Turkey (and of course all the good stuff that goes with them).

 

7. What is your favorite genre of music?

 

7. Deathcore mostly, but I can kick it to just about anything.

9. What is the funniest joke you know? 

1. Best move ever as this kid brings a lot of grit and secondary scoring to the tabel

2. It is not impossible, but to be frank I doubt it, as the closest is 21pts away from that goal and only 12 games left.

3. Stockholm, as they have been inconsistent all season.

4. Yes, I was. 

5. I am sitting on the fence. It gives my team Switzerland a better chance to compete with the big nations, as the impact for us is not that big (maybe 4-5 players), while Canada and the US will have the 5th suit competing in the Olympics. On the other hand you want to see the best players, so there is that.

6. We had Duck, knoedel and red cabbage

7. Rock, always has been, and always will be.

8. I do not watch much telly these days, but will follow up on the Witcher

9. I cannot repeat it here, as it would violate the COC

[KaleebtheMighty 1,426]

PRESS CONFERENCE - Week of January 2nd, 2022
(Just answer at least 6 of the questions for 2 TPE)

 

1). With the season nearing its end, how do you feel your player did?

2). We currently sit in first place, but it's a close battle between Bratislava and Cologne. How likely do you think it is that we end the season in first place?

3). The new year is nearly upon us! Do you have any goals or resolutions for 2022?

4). Are you doing anything for New Year's Eve?

5). How was your Christmas?

6). Are you a multi account user? (I hope no one answers this with a yes )

7). What was one of your favorite moments as a member of the Red Wolves?

8). Hypothetical: there's 10 seconds left on the clock. We have a faceoff in the offensive zone to the right of the goalie. We win the draw and the puck goes to you. Are you shooting on net or finding someone open for a pass to set something up?

9). Another hypothetical: You steal the puck from our opponent and rush into the offensive zone on a 2 on 1. Who do you want skating with you on our team when you get to the net?

[Tape-to-Tape 298]

1- I was aiming for a point per game season and that is exactly where I am at.

2- good chance. Just have to keep winning and make our own luck.

3- spending more time outside doing what I love to do

4- watching videos and relaxing on the couch. No world juniors this time

5- it was a good christmas overall. Hope yours was good too.

9- didnt get that far, stole the puck but then passed immediately to a forward and stayed in position lol

1. With only three games remaining, Hogan 2 is looking to finish among a top player league wide. He's a few points behind others but with an extra game in hand.  With a few good games, Hogan 2 can propell himself and finish really good, I'm happy with him.

2. With only a few games left, it's pretty much guaranteed that we'll get first. We only need 1 point to secure our place. Considering we have 3 games to do it, I'm confident we will.

4. I couldn't really, I've been sick for the past little bit.

6. I currently have 7 accounts in the VHL, with multiple HOFers and top players.

7. The discord activity ramping up, towards the start of the season we didn't have much. Nowadays, we have more people talking and it's pretty nice.

9. It's gotta be our top scorer Ryan Li, they're a top scorer with 45 goals in the league.

1. I had 98 points in 72 games, I'm not too good at math but I think that means I was over a point per game, which is pretty good - although I would have liked to reach 100 points.
2. Well, hindsight is 20/20 and I'm glad to say that we did get 1st seed.
3. Probably to reach 100 points
6. Ye- sike nope
8. Hey, you can only score by putting the puck on net. If I have an opening, i'm ripping it top shelf.
9. I WANT IGUODALA, but Heavems wouldn't be a bad option either.

1. I did believe that we pull it off, alas Simon giveth and Simon taketh away...

2. If we want to win the Cup we would need to be able to beat everyone in a best of seven series, but since Nezuko is now playing for Stockholm, it would have been nice to meet with him again.

3. An end to the pandemic and a lot of VHL of course

4. It is a local food truck who offers the trinity of barbeque: pulled pork, spare ribs and burgers. Fries and dips are hand made and the ribs so tender... I need to stop saliva flow intensifies...

5. We agreed not to give presents anymore, so N/A for me I guess

6. Used to be Married with Children... nowadays maybe the Witcher

7. If we need to point out an individual it must be Hulk Hogan 2, with a close Red Menace on second.

8. I sat through a fair amount of Hurricanes, experienced one Earthquake (albeit a quick and relatively harmless one, we do not have Tornado's here, so Hurricane I guess.

9. If I go to the matches it is in the stands where people do not sit but chant all the time...

[Tape-to-Tape 298]

1). Playoffs are really intense, do you see us coming back against Rome to advance to the finals?
I truly did but it was not meant to be. We could not keep the shots down.
2). If we were to go to the finals, who would you rather face - Stockholm or Cologne?
Stockholm would have been a fun team to play against.
3). What is one thing that you are looking forward to in 2022?
Maybe getting back to some more normal life things.

The advertisements draw me in. My favorite is Wendy’s.

Some time off with family was the best gift

The Witcher season 2

9). What is one of your favorite places to go that you consider “your spot” to relax or unwind?

1. I did, I just wished I could have contributed more to the success of the team stats wise.

2. Absolutely not. I expected it to be 6 or even 7 games.

3. Daniel Janser is going to participate in the Pro-AM tournament and maybe he is called up for the WC/WJC, who knows?

4. Foggy, around freezing point. A rather depressing experience.

5. Hulk Hogan 2. for providing massive secondary scoring from the blue line.

6. I do not celebrate Valentine's day. It is cute for those who are into this, but I do not enjoy it.

7. I already live near mountains (and a lake, I live in a land locked country, so that is the closest to the beach I will get), and enjoy it very much.

8. I probably would not spend it but invest it, (and pay off some loans first).

9. As boring as it sounds, my porch with a book and a cup of tea.
