Express Press Conference 

(Week Ending October 23rd)

Answering three questions gets you 1 Capped TPE

Answering six questions gets you 2 Capped TPE

 

1. We finished the regular season in 3rd place, which gave us a bit of a rest before starting the playoffs. How good was that?

2. What are your feelings about the team's regular season?

3. We are now starting the playoffs. What are your expectations for the team?

4. We have Oslo going against Vasteras in the other semi-final. Who do you think I'll take that series?

5. Are you following the VHL Playoffs? If so, who do you reckon is taking the Cup this season?

6. As you know, I was vacationing in Rome. So... do Roman nurses and healthcare workers refer to an IV as a four?

6. Only if they treat you in traditional Roman way

[Bojovnik 487]

1. It's an interesting one. It was good to rest up the body, but I hope that we don't lose our momentum

2. After the bad start, it was really positive. Now we need to show up in the playoffs

3. Bratislava will be a tough match-up, we have to give it our all.

4. I think Oslo are favourites, for sure. However, we played well against them in the regular season.

5. All I know is that Moscow aren't going to win that's for sure.

6. I give this question a X out of X.

1: It was good and bad good because we had a little rest, bad because i missed playing already.

 

2: I joined the team more to the end of the season, but I really liked how the team played in the regular season.

 

3: I think we are going to go far, we did lose last game but I think we can come back and beat them.

 

4: Don't really know haven't looked at both of those teams that much but I'll go with Oslo.

 

5: No i haven't really followed the VHL Playoffs, but I'll just take a guess and go with Moscow Menace.

 

6: That's a good question I dont really know, I guess you would have to wait and find out what they mean with IV.

1. So good! Like so much better than my first VHL season.

2. I think we did amazing and I hope we can pull this off in the playoffs.

3. Have fun! But hopefully win lots!

4. I'm scared to say Oslo because maybe we play them and it hurts.

5. A little behind on the current stats but will catch up soon.

6. Yes. And they call them High V's.

1. Here we are. The VHLE Finals. How rewarding was the path to get here?

2. 4 Wins is all it takes. What's the key to do it?

3. The Finals in the VHLM are set. Who takes the Founders Cup?

4. In the VHL there have been a few surprises. The European Conference already has its finalist. And who wins the North American?

5. Can Moscow break the curse?

6. Some great answers to last week's dummy question. X of X's and high V's killed me. So, on a completely unrelated note... do car tyres get tired?

[Bojovnik 487]

1. The path has been super rewarding. It's been a tough grind to get here, but we've made it.

2. I think the key is not losing any of our home games. Then if we can get to Game 7, anything will happen

3. I've got my fingers crossed for Las Vegas. Shindigs deserves it.

4. I think Chicago will get through, and then win in the Finals

5. No. I've played there, and it's a cursed place.

6. Do wheels get peeled?

1. Very rewarding. It feels so good to be able to prove right anyone who has had confidence in me.

2. Shots! Gotta keep that shot total up. Can't score if you don't shoot.

3. I really want to see Vegas three-peat just because I'm rooting for Shindigs.

4. DC Probably.

5. I hope so! Rooting for Spartan.

6. Yes and they won't spare you from their complaining about it.

1: Really rewarding, this is the farthest my player has gotten in playoffs, and getting to play with this talented team is very fun and rewarding.

 

2: I think we have to dominate on the power plays, and like Aimkin said shots there also really important.

 

3: I think its going to be Vegas, although Reapers have proven me wrong many times these playoffs.

 

4: I also think that D.C is going to win and go to the finals.

 

5: Yeah I think so, Spartan has built a great team that destroyed Warsaw Predators and I think they can continue that success against the other team.

 

6: Yes I think so.

1. Hurts but it's way closer than I got in the M so I'm happy about that.

2. The endless 1 goal games lol

3. London! And hopefully a successful VHL career.

4. Training and lots of writing.

5. Anything Broadway.

6. Drivers seat. I don't like not having that control lol. And also control of the music.

1. Training Camp has started. Have you pressed the button in order to get the free 10 uncapped TPE?

2. Draft was yesterday, but the team focused on actively getting assets for the future. How does it feel to be part of a group that focuses on continuity?

3. Free Agency, on the other hand, is up and running. How do you feel about the pickups so far?

4. This is day zero. A clean start. What are your personal expectations for the season?

5. What about team-wise, what's the end goal?

6. Last season, we started a trend of having a completely unrelated question at the end of the press conference. Here's your first... Is the sea salty because the shore never waves back?

 Express Press Conference 

(Week Ending January 29th)

 

1. What are your expectations for the team entering the season ?

I haven't looked at all the teams for a week or so now and I know there's been some changes, but I think we should be a slam dunk playoff squad this season. Ren Cup Finals or bust.

 

2. What are your expectations for your player this season ? 

I'll be pleased with a mediocre season. I think Bjork is starting the season with the lowest TPE on a team with 7 forward, i.e. the worst forward with the least ice time. But he'll work his way up the depth chart by playoffs.

3- Who do you think will win the VHL

Oh that's as up in the air as it's ever been. I'll go with my perennial hope in the Calgary Wranglers.

 

4- What’s your favorite sport team ?( All sports )

I suppose the Calgary Wranglers . But for real, it would have to be the Edmonton Oilers.

 

5-Is there anyone particular that’s been helpful to you since you arrived in the VHL that you’d like to thank/acknowledge?

I can't remember anymore. @Victor was always good shit. @Spartan  is a modern day saint. Everyone else is dogshit.

 

6- do you have any question ideas for next week Press conference ?

First of all, I fully encourage you to submit any and all answers to this question as next week's press conference.

Second of all, "If you could re-locate one VHLE team to Gothenburg, which would it be?"

1. I'm hoping for a lot out of this team and myself. It'll be hard to do even better than I've done last season with the Marlins but that's what I'm setting myself out to do, and I hope everyone here does the same.

2. I'm expecting the same great stuff I brought last season. It'll be a little harder but I have a lot of faith in myself.

3. I don't really know who's gonna win the VHL, when it came to predictions I just chose a team.

 

4. I like the Golden Knights, Coyotes and UNLV Runnin Rebels.

5. I mean always @jacobcarson877, got me back on track.

6. Sorry, not doing your job for you, I'm figuring it out for myself!

3- My VHL team. Let's go WARSAW!!!!! lol. Seriously, I think they can do it.

1. We are now a week into the season. How do you feel about the team?

Honestly I expected a bit better results ngl but I’m still happy with our roster and I’m confident the squad will reach expectations soon

2. What about the VHLE. Are there any clear favorites already?

for me there’s always 1 favorite

3. Do you have a favorite player in the VHL? 
Gonna have to go with the 1 point wonder Mr.invisible himself : Vincent Laroche-Gagnier 

 

4. What's your pregame routine?

sleep

5. The Super Bowl is set. Who's winning, the Eagles or the Chiefs?

i’d love to see the eagles win but man I can’t go against Mahomes despite the injuries on the team.

 

6. If you decide to describe yourself as indecisive, are you decisive or indecisive?

if I describe myself as indecisive then I can’t respond to this questions cause I’m doubting. But I’m not indecisive so I’d say I’m decisive. When I hesitate about something I just pick one of them options very spontaneously… which is probably a bad thing

1. We are now a week into the season. How do you feel about the team?

Even better than I did going into the season! We've been winning plenty, and outshooting our opponents almost every game, so that's a great sign! Of course we can always end up getting swept in the playoffs, but regular season should be a good time.

 

2. What about the VHLE. Are there any clear favorites already?

I suppose the favourites aren't CLEAR, and I'm biased, but I think Cologne is doing the best! And we have the power of double Cobbersons, so we're unstoppable.  @David Cobberson @Hendrix Cobberson

 

3. Do you have a favorite player in the VHL? 

I like Saku Kotkakoivu, the player concept is cool, @DollarAndADream  is cool, and he's been an unreal and consistent player his whole career.

 

4. What's your pregame routine?

I eat spaghetti and throw the leftovers at the crowd of transients I have chained up in my basement.

 

5. The Super Bowl is set. Who's winning, the Eagles or the Chiefs?

Damn, that was quick. I suppose the Eagles, because I don't know what I'm talking about?

 

6. If you decide to describe yourself as indecisive, are you decisive or indecisive?

I mean even indecisive people have to make decisions. It's not that we DON'T EVER make decisions, it's that every decision takes forever and is much hemming and hawwing. Also, as a Libra, the stars determined that I'm indecisive as fuck, and they happen to be correct in that. So *I* didn't even decide, the constellations did.

1. Theme Week is here! How do you like the "Rivalry" subject?

I think it was a solid pick for a subject! It can create some competition and also inspire some media about some fun and intense rivalries in the past. Or it can inspire 15 minutes of stream of conscience rambling, depending on who you ask.

 

2. Halfway into the season, how do you feel about the team?

I'm loving it! It infuriates me that we can't score more, and it does seem like Oslo is outperforming us generally, but I feel very comfortable with our chances of getting to the Finals!

 

3. Did you watch the Super Bowl?

I did not, but I heard they played a game of football and that the Kansas City Chiefs ultimately won that game.

 

4. Follow-up to (3)... how about that Rihanna Halftime Show?

Still don't know, but I read an amusing joke about it on Reddit recently.

 

5. Do you listen to Harry Styles?

Not specifically, but I do listen to the "Chill" station on Sirius and they feature this remix of Matilda quite a bit and it's a gooder.

 

6. I suffered through a painful riddle this week and so will you, "what tea do hockey players drink?"

This sounds more like a question than a riddle, but if it must be a riddle I will guess "Iced tea." If not, I'd say whatever tea helps them with their health on any given day.
