Houston Bulls Press Conference

Mutti · February 5

Hello and thanks for having me here. I can see the question are prepared, so.. Let's get started, shall we?

1. We aren't as good as we used to be, at least in the past 10 games played. 3-6-1 through our last 10 games, what do we need to do as a team to get back on the winning track?

- I think that we still show signs of development. However, the concrete is becoming to solidify and we are on our way to find a perfect groove as a team. I think that further training and getting used to our lines might do the trick.

-------------------------------

2. With our roster now set we do not need to add any new players to the team this season. What is the best feeling about being part of a full 12-6-2 roster? Are there any negatives you find?

- The best feeling about that is obviously the feeling of completion. I think that now, that we are complete, we are fully competent to show our overall qualities. Only negative aspect I'd mention is getting used to it, which may take a bit of time to achieve. But I believe in the team. We got a great spirit!

-------------------------------

3. Trade Deadline is here and Houston has two new faces joining us to complete our roster. @CowboyinAmerica was traded from Halifax and @KRZY signed from waivers, these two are fresh meat in the locker room. What is something these players should know about Houston and our team? Are there any cool spots in Houston you want them to know about?

- I think they should be prepared for an immense amount of humor in the locker, haha. But I believe they will get used to it quickly, if they haven't done so yet. I would certainly recommend some places with minorities from abroad. Especially if they like food. I certainly do, hehe.

-------------------------------

4. Playoffs are always in the back of my mind. Since drafting, trading, and signing each player this season, my goal is always to get to the playoffs. Looks like we got a good shot this season to make it! What is the one team you DO NOT want to go up against in the 1st round? VHLM playoffs take the top 8/10 teams in the league.

- I wouldn't like to go against Las Vegas.. Because I don't like Las Vegas. No offense to the residents, I just don't fancy the place. Anyway, if we turn out to go against them anyway, I will have to just.. Get through it, somehow. I think we have a good chance to perhaps surprise some teams in the play-offs!

-------------------------------

5. I have always loved Taco Tuesdays, Wine Wednesdays, Freaky Fridays, etc... Which day of the week is your go to "event day"? Is there a day of the week where you have a routine meal or event?

- Oooo, from those mentioned, I would certainly choose Wine Wednesdays. Shame that we don't have a day of week starting with "B", cause I would use that one for beer drinking. Perhaps.. Thirsty Thursday?

-------------------------------

6. It's GM day! I literally just made that up. For GM day you are required to give me something. This "something" can be anything! A unicycle? Sure! Some baby turtles and a tank for them to live in? Thank you very much! What is one thing you would like to give to me, your GM, if you could give me anything?

- A kitty named Bully, team jersey with "BEST GM" on the back and a hug, because you are awesome, man. Haha!

-------------------------------

Thanks once again for having me, it was a pleasure!

See you next time!

We aren't as good as we used to be, at least in the past 10 games played. 3-6-1 through our last 10 games, what do we need to do as a team to get back on the winning track?

With a lot of the moves being made recently to shake up the roster, and with the line changes, I'm confident that alone should be enough to get us back into winning form.

2. With our roster now set we do not need to add any new players to the team this season. What is the best feeling about being part of a full 12-6-2 roster? Are there any negatives you find?

No complaints here at all, of course. It seems like I'll be taking a backseat role here as I get moved back to second-line, but when you pitched me initially, it was for third-line so again -- I can't complain whatsoever.

3. Trade Deadline is here and Houston has two new faces joining us to complete our roster. @CowboyinAmerica was traded from Halifax and @KRZY signed from waivers, these two are fresh meat in the locker room. What is something these players should know about Houston and our team? Are there any cool spots in Houston you want them to know about?

1 hour ago, CowboyinAmerica said:

I'm excited to explore! I'm used to Italian cuisine, then Halifax was a lot of fish, but that's too healthy for me. Give me some good ole fashioned BBQ please.

If it's BBQ he wants, I know a few spots to share! Maybe we'll see about getting a team dinner together downtown after Bucatini's debut.

4. Playoffs are always in the back of my mind. Since drafting, trading, and signing each player this season, my goal is always to get to the playoffs. Looks like we got a good shot this season to make it! What is the one team you DO NOT want to go up against in the 1st round? VHLM playoffs take the top 8/10 teams in the league.

I'm not so worried, honestly. As a late joiner, I don't have the highest TPE ever - but I made do with what TPE I had and performed, well, decnt. With a genuine first-line center joining, like Antonia, I feel a lot more confident about our playoff run.

5. I have always loved Taco Tuesdays, Wine Wednesdays, Freaky Fridays, etc... Which day of the week is your go to "event day"? Is there a day of the week where you have a routine meal or event?

Feels almost cheap to take an example that you provided, but Taco Tueday is a classic. It just can't be beat.

6. It's GM day! I literally just made that up. For GM day you are required to give me something. This "something" can be anything! A unicycle? Sure! Some baby turtles and a tank for them to live in? Thank you very much! What is one thing you would like to give to me, your GM, if you could give me anything?

I'll make sure to get you a championship in return so it looks like I'll have to put your GM Day gift on hold for now - might have to be a while before I can get that to you.

1. Build chemistry, we had a lot of new arrivals

3. We're a team that's just rolling along toward playoffs, moral will be super high come playoff time

4. There are no team I do not want to play against, we are THE team that nobody wants to play against come playoffs

5. I always thought Fridays were F'ed up Fridays where you drink and play games with friends?

1. We aren't as good as we used to be, at least in the past 10 games played. 3-6-1 through our last 10 games, what do we need to do as a team to get back on the winning track?

I think we just need to stick with it, don't change too much, don't panic, don't get demoralized-- just keep doing what has worked for us and what will keep us moving toward our ultimate goal which is a Founder's Cup. I think if we do this, keep working hard to develop, the results will come. And with some new additions, I think we'll have an even better chance of that.

2. With our roster now set we do not need to add any new players to the team this season. What is the best feeling about being part of a full 12-6-2 roster? Are there any negatives you find?

The best part of being on a full roster is that we have such a deep and exciting team. Even if you have an off night, you can trust that another teammate will pick up the slack. It's just exciting to think of where we could go with this roster. We've got some incredible personalities and amazing talents on this team and I'm happy and proud to be on this team. One tradeoff of having a deep team is individually we might have to give up some ice time and maybe some opportunities to score more points. I'm personally not bothered by that as the team success is more important to me, but everyone likes to play and score points so it is something you sacrifice for the greater good of the team. It's worth it 100% in my opinion.

3. Trade Deadline is here and Houston has two new faces joining us to complete our roster. @CowboyinAmerica was traded from Halifax and @KRZY signed from waivers, these two are fresh meat in the locker room. What is something these players should know about Houston and our team? Are there any cool spots in Houston you want them to know about?

Every time I turn around, it seems AJ is making another roster move and making this team better, it's unreal! I'm super excited to have these new players join our team and to get to know them in the locker room. Houston is a great city and an awesome place to live. The food scene in Houston is unreal so they definitely need to try that. One of my favorite spots is the old Houston Post. There's some great food vendors in there, and you can go on the roof of the building to get a great view of the downtown. It's also next to 713 Music Hall where you can catch some live music, there's always good acts coming through. In terms of our team, if you're looking for a drinking buddy, Vencko @Mutti is the guy, lol. In all seriousness, we've got an awesome group of players who have been really supportive of one another and working together towards the same goal all season. It's a great locker room and I'm sure the new players will fit right in.

4. Playoffs are always in the back of my mind. Since drafting, trading, and signing each player this season, my goal is always to get to the playoffs. Looks like we got a good shot this season to make it! What is the one team you DO NOT want to go up against in the 1st round? VHLM playoffs take the top 8/10 teams in the league.

It's gotta be San Diego. I think we're like 1-7 against them this year, they've just had our number all season long. However, we did beat them yesterday so that's a nice confidence boost to just prove to ourselves that we can do it. If we end up meeting them in the playoffs, I say, bring 'em on! I really do think we have a good shot against any team in the league.

5. I have always loved Taco Tuesdays, Wine Wednesdays, Freaky Fridays, etc... Which day of the week is your go to "event day"? Is there a day of the week where you have a routine meal or event?

We don't have a fun alliterative name for it yet, but I go out with a group of friends most Friday nights-- Friends Friday I guess lol. We always try new places and sometimes we go see some live music. It's always something to look forward to at the end of the week and we've got a great group of friends.

6. It's GM day! I literally just made that up. For GM day you are required to give me something. This "something" can be anything! A unicycle? Sure! Some baby turtles and a tank for them to live in? Thank you very much! What is one thing you would like to give to me, your GM, if you could give me anything?

I would give you a mixtape of my top 10 favorite songs that I think everyone should listen to-- yes, a literal cassette tape. I'll throw in a small cassette player so you can actually listen to the thing. It's just kind of a fun nostalgic thing I like to do, but I've got this tape recorder that I use to write cassette tapes with digital music because I just love the analog sound of cassettes and the ritual of putting it in the cassette player, fast-forwarding and rewinding, even the funny little warbles you get with warped cassettes. My parents had a big cassette collection that I listened to growing up so I've always had a soft spot for them even though everything is easier in digital.

1. Coming in as a waiver at the deadline I’m not overly familiar with our roster quite yet but , Toby is ready to play hard and contribute to the team any way he can !

2.we have a lot of depth and everyone is fighting for a spot in the lineup and to prove they belong . The only downfall I can see is it’s hard to give everyone even playing time but that’s also not a bad thing at all .

3. Todd Cooke also played here when he was coming into the league he gave me a heads up about the locker room antics . He also suggested a couple of deadly steakhouses on Main Street !!

4. Philly and Miami both look like strong hard to beat teams this season

5. I’m a sucker for taco Tuesday myself !

6.I’ll give you foam finger saying Houston is number 1 so you can cheer us on in the playoffs from the press box !!

1. We aren't as good as we used to be, at least in the past 10 games played. 3-6-1 through our last 10 games, what do we need to do as a team to get back on the winning track?

I don't think there is much to change right now. We have a large quantity of players who haven't gotten time to familiarize with each other's way of playing. I think a little bit of patience on the group will bring results.

2. With our roster now set we do not need to add any new players to the team this season. What is the best feeling about being part of a full 12-6-2 roster? Are there any negatives you find?

With a full roster, we get a guaranty that everyone is used to their full potential without either being overplayed or pushed to play above the playtime they are able to sustain. It also makes every players want to push themself for better ice-time.

3. Trade Deadline is here and Houston has two new faces joining us to complete our roster. @CowboyinAmerica was traded from Halifax and @KRZY signed from waivers, these two are fresh meat in the locker room. What is something these players should know about Houston and our team? Are there any cool spots in Houston you want them to know about?

First of all, extremely happy to see new players joining the team and be enthusiastic about helping us push the team closer to the top positions of the standings. As to what are the cool spots of Houston, well... I haven't been here a long time myself either but I do love to go check the multiple museum open around. I do also recommend to go check some of the smokehouse barbecue restaurants, they are a killer.

4. Playoffs are always in the back of my mind. Since drafting, trading, and signing each player this season, my goal is always to get to the playoffs. Looks like we got a good shot this season to make it! What is the one team you DO NOT want to go up against in the 1st round? VHLM playoffs take the top 8/10 teams in the league.

Honestly, I have a large fear of the Philly Reapers. Not only are they first overall right now by a far margin, but they also have some big scorers which leads them to having the best GDiff by almost +40 and I really don't think our chances against them in the playoffs would be the best. Right now in the season, we have a record of 2-3-1 against them with a -4 GDiff.

5. I have always loved Taco Tuesdays, Wine Wednesdays, Freaky Fridays, etc... Which day of the week is your go to "event day"? Is there a day of the week where you have a routine meal or event?

My personal recurrent activity is to go with a close friend on every Saturday around 10:30am to a bagel shop that does really good bagels with plenty of different type of fillings in them.

6. It's GM day! I literally just made that up. For GM day you are required to give me something. This "something" can be anything! A unicycle? Sure! Some baby turtles and a tank for them to live in? Thank you very much! What is one thing you would like to give to me, your GM, if you could give me anything?

I have been a big collector of hockey cards for a few years after I picked up my dad's collection that he started in the late 70's or early 80's. With the fact that we are in a Hockey Club, I would probably give you a set of the collection.
