A tale of two Brothers // inter-season interview, part 3

Jean-Luc Lieuxperroux hardly made it back to Toronto from Abbotsford, when his phone rang and his office told him to get another interview with the Janser brothers as they needed to fill pages on their paper. Cursing under his breath, Jean-Luc this time arranged for a videoconference rather than a one-on-one interview with Daniel.

 

JLL: Daniel, glad you could make the time to talk to us.

DJ: Anytime, Jean-Luc.

 

JLL: So, we heard that you are representing Team Europe in the WJC. How is it going?

DJ: We lost twice against the Canadians and won against the US Team. We have some players in the team I already knew. Karjalainen and me go way back, when we both played for the Brigade, Bushtit and Lamb played for Mississauga this last season and Sundin played in the Brigade while I was his GM. We are still in the race. We already had our losses against the arguably strongest team in the tournament and have some of the allegedly easier opponents still to play. I would like to do one better than last year.

 

JLL: When you won Silver?

DJ: Exactly. I am also doing personally better than last time around. I have already more points and hits after three games than last time after the full tournament. However, it is not about my own records, it is about winning as a team and I firmly believe we can do that. It won't be easy, but it is achievable.

 

JLL: We certainly wish you best of luck in this pursuit of undying glory. Now, we also were told by reliable sources that you are changing your position? Is this true?

DJ: It is more true than you probably think. There is a trinity of position changes if you will. First, I was named GM of Mississauga following N0HBDY's decision to move to Switzerland, after I told him what great of a country it is. Second, The Abbotsford Fir are shorthanded on the defence, so I volunteered to fill in the gap, as I have done many times in my youth teams, back in the old country. And last but not least, Ricer shipped off Tallinder, the Calgary's second line Center, to Riga in exchange for some picks. So he asked me to take over Tallinder's duty. Since I have already played Center the majority of last season, I could not see a reason why not, so I agreed to do it.

 

JLL: You seem to be a very versatile player indeed, and willing to help your team out, whatever the costs.

DJ: I do not think it comes at a big cost to be honest, but I guess you could say I am a team player, yes.

 

JLL: Speaking of roster changes in Calgary. Rumours have it that long time Davos defender Reinhart waived her NTC to come to Calgary. Have you any more information for our interested readers?

DJ: Reylynn is indeed joining our squad. We can count ourselves lucky to acquire a prolific player such as her. She will also switch position to LW instead of defender. And before you ask, I can neither confirm nor deny that her sudden move from Switzerland to Alberta has anything to do with a certain rough-on-the-edges, yet oddly charming and handsome Swiss player in the Calgary organisation.

 

JLL: Will take good note of that and quote you accordingly. Okay that's it from our side, thanks for your time and good luck in the WJC.

DL: Thanks for having me.
