6. What is your favourite movie?

1. Not olive garden or Applebee's. That is a junior hockey reference and if someone gets that, we are cool. Let's be honest, it has to be the greasiest place on the planet with enough mom's for the boys to take home.

2. I don't know if there is such a thing as a favorite fruit... i guess apples?

3. Bro, cleaning. I'll do all the yard work and cooking.

4. probably @thadthrasher's birthday in college. I pulled the all-nighter the night before and then kept rolling. 

5. Taco Bell. For reason's I will never be able to explain.

6. If anyone puts anything other than the 2004, Disney, Sports/Drama, 2 hour and 15 minute long, cinematic masterpiece, MIRACLE, then they are wrong and deserve to be traded immediately. There is only one movie and one movie only.

PRESS CONFERENCE

For Week ending February 27 2022

(answer the questions as your player)

1. We acquired @Ente2997in a trade the other day, what do you think about this trade and how do you think it will help us moving forward?

2. We are currently sitting at third overall, do you think we will stay top 3? is there anything you think that may hinder us?

3. What do you think has been your biggest strength this season? why do you think this is your biggest strength. 

4. What do you think our biggest weakness as a team? is there anything you think we can do to fix this weakness? 

5. When we play the top two teams, we can really stay with them up until the third period, what do we need to do in the third to secure the wins?

6. Who have you found the most chemistry with this season? why do you think this chemistry grew? 

[Scurvy 1,488]

1.  He is going to be a great offensive pickup for sure.  I think it will help propel the team into the ladder half of the season.

 

2. The Vikings and the Watchman keep winning (and losing) at the same rate keeping both teams equal in the standings.  Both teams need Cologne or Rome to have some strung together losses to make up some ground.  The only thing I think that can hinder the Vikings is Watchmen Defensemen Brian Payne.   lol

 

3.  I think your biggest strengths of the season has been your team defense.  Lock Ness, Beach, Butts and Ben Dahl have been beasts for you and have remained consistent all year.  

 

4.  Biggest weakness is the same as we have in Bratislava.  Being consistent and winning those close games.  

 

5. Limit costly penalties and play a full 60 minutes.  

 

6.  Well since I am doing a Stockholm presser and not Bratislava I would say the most chemistry I have had on my club is Harry Bagel but were split now and I haven't had a point in 4 games. lol.  I would say I would love to be on a defensive line with Loch Ness or Beach in Bratislava because they are studs.  

 

Best of luck Vikings!!   Beat Rome and Cologne please but not us!

1. I think it's a great trade. Ente is a amazing teammate to have in the LR.

2. I think sky is the limit.

3. My ability to pot the puck in the net. Goals win games baby.

4. Our defence is young. Otherwise, I don't see a weakness to be honest.

5. I think we need to work on our stamina and line changes.

6. Is water wet? explain your thinking.

1. Honestly, I don't think we did anything necessarily wrong. It just seems to be that we were not in favor with Simon!
2. I am! I thought we advanced well, established a solid foundation, and we proved that we are a team to be feared.
3. My plans are to keep an eye open for upcoming prospects, especially that Napoleon Dynamite kid!
4. Well, as a manager I felt like we had a real shot. However, that's not what Simon thought.
5. I am, but as a manager I'm also a bit nervous. I have no idea what this is going to look like as a whole, and it may change a lot of how we run lines and strategies. 
6. No. To be "wet" is to be saturated with water. Water itself cannot be saturated, therefore it is not wet.

sorry for the late presser!

1. How do you feel we did at the draft? explain! I feel ecstatic, can't wait to start my career with the Stockholm Vikings. Hopefully, we can finish with a better record than last year. 

2. Where do you think Stockholm is finishing this upcoming season? I think we will finish 4th overall in the league. 

3. What is your player doing to get ready for the upcoming season? I'm working on slap-shots and wrist-shots. I'm also working on my defensive coverage. 

4. What is your favourite sports team and why? The New Jersey Devils, we have a cracked fanbase. I love fanbases who are crazy. 

5. Do you think any other teams will give us a run for our money this season? if so who? I could see the Cologne Express dominating the league.

6. What do you think our biggest weakness is? biggest strength? and why? I can't really say our biggest weakness until I've been in a game. Our biggest strength I believe is our forwards. We can press well and attack. 

 

[Gaikoku-hito 2,081]

Press conference

For week ending April 10 2022.

sorry for the late presser!

1. How do you feel we did at the draft? explain!

I am usually very excited for any draft and this season being the fact that I skipped the VHLM draft to be a free agent in the VHLE has me even more excited. Collecting PJ Daniels in the second should really help the team this season. While the other players selected in the later rounds will have a season or two before the join the Vikings in the longhouse; but if they continue to develop the will be great additions.

2. Where do you think Stockholm is finishing this upcoming season?

I think we start the season somewhere between fourth and sixth but if all the players continue to develop then we should be somewhere around fourth at the end of the season. We will be much stronger at the end of the season then we will start the season.

3. What is your player doing to get ready for the upcoming season?

He is currently pumping out  the TPE to earn his right to actually be in the VHLE by the time the season starts. He is a young overachieving prospect and looking to add more defensive mind set to his game. He should progress nicely as the season hammers ahead.

4. What is your favourite sports team and why?

Hard to answer considering I really stopped following a single team and rather started following players/drivers (athletes) since as I developed as hockey player myself I realized it not about the place you play but the team or players that you play with that will make your experience either a unforgettable one or one of complete regret. Winning and Losing is actually only part of this aspect. Teams I followed since I was kid though has been the Vancouver Canucks & Pittsburgh Penguins 

5. Do you think any other teams will give us a run for our money this season? if so who?

I think we are currently a middle of the pack team so at least half the league will give us a run for our money this season but looking at roster and this past draft then Istanbul, Cologne and Vasteras are clearly currently raising to the top of the league. Bratislava will also be contending for the top three placement in the league during the first half of the season.

6. What do you think our biggest weakness is? biggest strength? and why?

I hate these types of questions since every weakness can be turned into a strength and every strength can be turned into a weakness. That being said I will agree with what was said in the locker room earlier today and that is the fact that the roster is currently thin meaning we have an opportunity to fill the gaps via trades and free agency. Overall I think the management has identified the gaps and are trying to plug the holes. Either way it is our job to keep the long boat pointed in the right direction and moving forward while they manage the leaks.

1. I’m hoping to have a decent first year in the E, I’m excited to see how the new system works out.

2. Norseman, I think this one is fairly self explanatory lol.

3. Not a routine more of a superstition, left skate first always. Something that he has done since he was a kid, no real reason behind it.

4. All about that Chicken Alfredo! Good carbs and protein to fuel the body.

5. CCM everything, the fit is perfect. However he still isn’t sponsored by them but it’s just all about the comfort.

6. He’s alright at baseball, not much of a hitter but he can play first base like no other.
