Stockholm Vikings Press Conference

[Renomitsu 934]

1. We're entering the home stretch now, with the Vikings winning three of four games against the Bratislava Watchmen to pull four points ahead of their threat to a playoff spot. What's your confidence level heading into this week's match-ups?

10/10. If you don't have confidence in yourself, what are you doing playing pro hockey, right?

 

2. Who has the team MVP been to this point?

Lots of candidates, but I think Pereira deserves it at this point. Hard to pass on a player that is sacrificing as much of himself as he has.

 

3. What is your secret to success on and off the ice?

I'm totally not a moth Nothing specific.

 

4. Thanksgiving has come and gone in the United States, is your tree up yet?

Nope, I don't plan on having a tree this year; I tend to keep totally to myself at home and help decorate communal trees (like one in our workroom).

 

5. I encountered snowfall on the way to work this morning, have you had to deal with snow yet this season?

Sadly no. I really like snow and where I live there's only maybe one snow a year.

 

6. Rumors swirling out of Chicago are that Corey Perry, who the Blackhawks brought in to be a father-type of mentor for Connor Bedard, has allegedly engaged in extramarital affairs with Connor's mother. On a scale of 0 to 10, how much did Perry understand the assignment?

Uh... I have no idea. 6.9?

It iz me! Grimgor Ironhide, always da big MVP!

 

3. What is your secret to success on and off the ice?

 

Don't eat a squig before a game and you fine. Eat a squig and you sleepin' like a damn stunty on his big grudge book.

 

4. Thanksgiving has come and gone in the United States, is your tree up yet?

 

What is this Thanksgiving you talk about? Do ya eat it? If so, invite me over and I will dominate any food given to me WAAAGH!

 

5. I encountered snowfall on the way to work this morning, have you had to deal with snow yet this season?

 

Big Snow all the time. Biggest of snows. Cold but I do like cold, you can eat the white flakes and they turn into watah' - it iz da best of it all!

3. Winning a cup with Toronto with my last player to end the career. I feel like that must be it

4. Uuuh a tough one. I like erode, no specific reason haha

5. hmm, I havent really eaten anything too bizarre. I guess a weird combo is Ice cream and hot sauce?

1. We just need to improve as a team! Even if we dont make it fsr this year in the playoffs, we can keep most of our players hopefully and be better!

2. I completely forgot it and missed it

3. I liked SHL, PBE and ISFL one where they swapped commissioners

4. I do not! I think i might just sleep haha

5. There are a quite a few, but i think one that has gotten more publicity then it should have is gang violence and sh*otings etc.

6. Hmm. I feel like this is a forever question. I think instead of more ways, they should imploment a counter to the portal that shows how much tpe you have earned this week and how much more you can earn

[Doomsday 4,130]

5. Ketchup and Spam

6. Yes if im gonna be playing for any team!

[Doomsday 4,130]

 

1. The trade deadline has come and gone, and the team Stockholm has is the team they will push to the playoffs with. With the fourth seed still in play, do you see the Vikings securing that spot?

 

2. As of the current moment, this is the first draft in some time that Stockholm holds all of their selections. What kind of impact do you see this having for next season's team?

 

3. The Vikings recently announced that they will be looking to hire an AGM. Who do you think would be a great fit for the position?

6. What is the most memorable point task you have made or seen?

1. I think it will be a close battle with Rome that could end ether way, but I'm going to give us the advantage!

2. I think it will have a positive impact! Rounding out the roster with fresh talent and going to have the old players at 400ish tpe is gonna be a huge help

3. I could see a lot of people being good for it, I would probably say someone whose not fresh in the league and maybe has had few players would be ideal!

4. For the World Cup, Its hard to think of one, i think the WJC has a good buzz already bc it has M players. WC is a tough one tho

5. hmm. If it can be extinct animal maybe a sabertooth tiger. if it needs to be one currently alive, a hippo

6. VHL Scrabble (i still need to do the E/M version)

[Doomsday 4,130]

 

1. The regular season has come to a close, with Stockholm finishing in fourth place and securing the final playoff spot. Did this meet or exceed your expectations?

 

2. The Vikings will take on the top seed in the VHLE, the Oslo Storm, in the first round of the playoffs. Does Stockholm have what it takes to pull off a massive upset?

 

3. Who would you say is the regular season MVP for Stockholm?

 

4. The Season 94 Draft Class looks to be very deep again this season, who do you see being a potential steal?

 

5. Lately the VHLE has been relatively top-heavy, do you see a string of strong draft classes courtesy of the VHL Recruiting Team restoring balance and competitiveness to the VHLE?

 

6. What's your favorite holiday meal?

2. I think we can put up a fight, need some luck, but dont ya always

3. Is it too cheesy to say myself? Fuck it, its me.

4. I cant name a single player, but i think in 2nd or even 3rd round there will be players who we will go back to look and wonder why they dropped

5. I do believe so, making E a competitive league where everyone has a chance is good for VHL as a whole

6. Christmas Foods and especially ham.

4) There is a hidden reference in my name

5) Maybe I will do some skiing

7) Can we start season 94 please

[Gaikoku-hito 2,089]

. The VHLE draft is over and S94 is set to begin. What are you most excited about in this new season?

Watching Stockholm losing every single game and crying like little baby vikings all dressed up in diapers with baby battle axes and shields. Are they just little cuties? Like stealing candy from a viking!!

 

2. What was the biggest surprise in any of the S94 drafts?

Pierre Marc Bouchard not being drafted 1st overall by Moscow in the VHL draft since he is clearly the best player in this season drafts. At least @rory got it correct when he selected him first overall in the VHLE draft!!

 

3. What do you hope to accomplish in this season?

Perfect season as Bratislava is expected to win everything as baby viking lose their tempers and smash their baby shields against their baby viking boats. Should be fun watching the viking boats sink!!

 

4. What is one unique thing about yourself that you want the fans to know?

I am a bald god!! Sent to score 50 goals and 50 assist with one hand tied behind my back. But don`t confuse me for a viking god as the vikings don`t have any!!

 

5. What is one place/activity that you want to experience during your time in Stockholm?

Yeah!! A nice bonfire where all the viking boats are set a fire when they crash into the shoreline since the Watchmen decided to turn out the lights on the Vikings!! Should keep me warm in the cold hell of a place that Stockholm is!!

 

6. What do you want/expect out of Vikings management?

A lot of crying, whining and throwing objects when they realize that Bratislava is a much better team. Something something referees!! We paid them a lot of money and we still cannot win!! 

 

7. Anything else you want to say?

Bratislava is clearly the best team so good luck this season my little baby vikings!!

1. Figured I should shoot for the stars, targeting top point getter, highest hits, blocks, +/- and penalties.

2. Preseason has been a blast, looking forward to building chemistry on the ice

3. They are all just speedbumps for me to run over

4. Pineapple on pizza

5. I don't really watch youtubers or listen to podcasts

6. Just put a question mark on the jersey, nobody knows what is happening with them, or to be amusing you could call the the Salt Lake City Phoenix
