Week of May 7th!

It is crazy around here in the Carson household so for the sake of getting a presser out there, here is one!

1. If your player had to play in net for a game (or for @aimkin if you had to play as a skater for a game), how would your player fare?
2. What is the best kind of yogurt?
3. If your player wasn't a hockey player, what would they be?
4. What do you feel you bring to the team?
5. What is something you hope your player can improve upon?
6. Our skaters can't hit the broad side of a barn these days. How would you train them to hit the net?

1.  My shots blocked are nothing to write home about but my size may allow for just getting in the way a bit!  No shutouts I would imagine.

 

2.  Blueberry Activia is what I usually go for, otherwise I do the higher protein yogurt if I look like I am wasting away.

 

3.  Beach Volleyball!  Would find an awesome partner and run it up on the beach.

 

4.  Youthful exuberance!  New to the VHL with a build that could go anywhere so my outlook is good!  Otherwise, assists!  My playmaker is making plays!

 

5.  Still improving my defense but once I hit 90 there I think I may look at skating?  Both scoring and skating is at 69 (heh) but I like to round those up.

 

6.  Shooting drills!  Shooting from everywhere.  Build that muscle memory.  Punishment for missed shots!

1. If your player had to play in net for a game (or for @aimkin if you had to play as a skater for a game), how would your player fare?

well... lets just say my player isn't a goalie for a reason lol I don't think my team would be too happy with me if I ever has to play in net.

2. What is the best kind of yogurt?

Ill eat almost any yogurt. My go to flavours are strawberry, raspberry, and vanilla. 

3. If your player wasn't a hockey player, what would they be?

My player would be an actress lol. I've always wanted to be famous

4. What do you feel you bring to the team?

Good sportsmanship! I always encourage the players to just try their best, but most importantly, have fun! 

 
5. What is something you hope your player can improve upon?

I think there's a little bit of room for improvement in every area. You can never stop improving!

6. Our skaters can't hit the broad side of a barn these days. How would you train them to hit the net?

We just need to keep practicing and working on our aim.

1. I would absolutely suck in goal, take me out coach

2. Frozen yogurt is best

3. My player would be a sports commentator

4. I bring stability and depth

5. I would like to get more points

6 I would set up a system of target practice where the players can't end practice until the finish the exercise

6) Who will have the most points for London in the playoffs?

1.  Molotov or Teno.  Molotov has brought the points but it is nice to see the spread out contributions.  No single player really carrying the team.  Always got to give props to the tendy though!

 

2.  I'm gonna go for 4.  Sock Monkey has been great all season and deserves it, Yasilievich has been improving quickly so I think these two will pick it up and Nalwa and Molotov will maintain pace.

 

3.  I'm going with second!  We are coming for Davos and I have to be optimistic that with our remaining schedule we should have a good record to close out the season.

 

4.  Malmo lol but I think we will likely go up against Moscow as Helsinki I think will make some moves up.

 

5.  I think we will!  We have a well balanced team and that should make a difference for sure.  Playoffs are a different beast and I feel like we have the depth needed to make a good push!

 

6.  I think Yasilievich is going to come up big in the playoffs!  Molly the Cat is due as well though!

1) I do love that our team is full of contributors and not just a couple stars and the supporting class. There's an argument for a ton of players.
2) Honestly like 3-4. we'll have a bunch in that area though.
3) Davos has a pretty easy schedule to finish it out here but I want 2nd.

4) My assumption is it will be Davos regardless, but I want to avoid Moscow and Riga.
5) Simon will do what Simon will do.
6) I'm going Molly the Cat here

1. Sock Monkey. He has seriously gone off in some games.

2. I think 4 or 5 based on the numbers alone.

3. Hopefully first! But more likely second or third.

4. The lowest ranked team at the end of the season lol

5. I hope so! We have an amazing team and I think we can go far.

6. I think Molotov!

1) If you had to pick a most valuable player for London, who would it be?

Not sure, theres a lot it good candidates so its hard to choose only one.

 

2) How many members of London will have point per game seasons?

Probably about 3-4. We have a few strong players on our team.

 

3) What position will London have in the conference by the end of the season?

I'm hoping for first, but we will probably only get third. (which i wont be disapointed about)

 

4) What team would you prefer to play against in the first round of the playoffs?

I wanna play against Helsinki because I think they would be easy to beat.

 

5) Do you think we will get past the first round this year?

Yes! I think we have a strong group of players this season and we wont make the same mistakes as we did before.

 

6) Who will have the most points for London in the playoffs?

My guess is Molly the Cat.

[Scurvy 1,573]

1. Molotov

 

2. 4

 

3. 4th

 

4.Davos. - BEAT THEM

 

5. Yes, Davos will choke LOL and I think you match up against Helsinki well

 

6. Molly the Cat

[JCarson 760]

The regular season for season 88 has come to a close so we are going to have a Press Conference on how it went

 

1) Did you player do better or worse than you expected

2) Did you earn the TPE you were hoping to

3) Best part of Season 88 Regular season

4) Worst part of Season 88 regular season

5) Who was the best contributor to the locker room

6) Who was the funniest contributor to the locker room

[jacobcarson877 2,573]

1) Worse but worse relative to what seems to be overall scoring this season.

2) Yup! Still pulling away from the pack and have enough saved for depreciation.
3) I really enjoyed last offseason, getting the squad together.

4) Not getting to really experience this season as much as I had hoped to with real life things.

5) Triller really came through this season with Dom, Cole, aimkin, Molly the Cat and I all having super busy seasons.
6) Sam and lemorse are always funny additions to any LR.

1) Worse, I hoped to do much better, but I'm picking it up in the playoffs.

2) Yes, I maxed earned every week.

3) Probably beating Davos.

4) Being not as active as I wanted to be.

5) I would have to say Triller, as I was pretty inactive this season in the LR.

6) This one is a little difficult. I think Triller and Aimkin did a great job.

1.  I would say he met expectations!  Best of the rookie skaters, all about the assists and still played a defensive and physical game.  Hopefully it is only up from here!

 

2.  Earned every bit I wanted to and more with how I did in the fantasy zone and the VHFL!  Not to mention the addition of Super Coach!

 

3.  Just getting to see my player perform in the big leagues and seeing all the moves Jacob did to start the season!

 

4.  Would have been nice to skip the wildcard but now that we won, it feels like a nice warmup for the next round!  Other than that, our OT losses.  Want to win those for Teno!

 

5.  Aimkin and Jacob.  Most consistent contributors in my eyes!

 

6.  That's a tough one!  We don't have many comedians on the team but Cole can usually bring some self deprecating humor in regards to his player.

1 Worse, honestly. Jesse did about as well as they did last season and I'm a little disappointed in that. I was hoping to get a bit more out of this season.

2 Yes! Had to claim welfare twice due to life and work but otherwise I maxed out.

3 Getting that series win over Lachlan and Davos!

4 Jesse falling in value in the second half.

5 Triller with his amazing graphics!

6 Probably Molly the Cat. Always getting into things.

 

[Scurvy 1,573]

Sorry Crashing in again!  Not sure we have an AGM anymore ?? 

 

1. Payne did ok.  Decent numbers, hits and SB were down but overall can't complain.  Especially after taking a beating on depreciation.

 

2. I like to max out every week but had a few travel weeks were I didn't earn well enough.  

 

3.  Having 9 fights.  

 

4. Not making playoffs 

 

5. Jacob 

 

6. Hmm. Not in your room but I would guess Molly the CaT

[chikn 130]

1) Did you player do better or worse than you expected

My player did exactly how I expected.

 

2) Did you earn the TPE you were hoping to

I didn't plan on being a max earner, so im happy with how much I earned.

 

3) Best part of Season 88 Regular season

Being on this team is a great opportunity alone. 

 

4) Worst part of Season 88 regular season

I don't really have any bad things to say about this season.

 

5) Who was the best contributor to the locker room

Definitely not me lol.

 

6) Who was the funniest contributor to the locker room

I was inactive in the locker room so im not too sure.

1. Sleep! But also lots of training so I can save up for depreciation.

2. The Boss

3. Wear a chicken suit, sunglasses, cowboy hat, and cowboy boots.

4. A heaping plate of scrambled eggs, 2 strips bacon, 2 small sausage links, spiced hashbrowns, toast, and ketchup. (oh I'm hungry now...)

5. They already are! Bringing hockey lessons and equipment to low income and at-risk kids.

6. Tripped the guy getting too deep into their crease.

1.  Planning!  My cache of graphics and ideas have run dry.  I need to come up with some more, though I will also be updating the cups and rendering out quick GIFs for whoever the champions may be in each league!

 

2.  JC.  Can't think of anyone of significance that would already use these initials.  That or "The Chemist!". The way he put the right ingredients together here in London for this run was scientific and calculated!

 

3.  Couple baby pictures at least, but for sure we need him to get the London United logo printed on a t-shirt and then capture a video of him yelling "United".  That can be our parade!

 

4.  Honeycombs!  I don't get them too often but I always enjoy them when I do.  They give me a nostalgic feeling!  I do go with cereal in general but for non-cereal, eggs benedict!

 

5.  Anything to help out Children's Hospitals.  Having a child of my own now really puts into perspective anyone having to deal with a sick child.  This and cerebral palsy.  I used to work at the YMCA with kids with special needs and some of the most fun I had was caring for a child that had cerebral palsy.  Amazing kids!

 

6.  Probably instigating?  Leonard is not a fighter but would pull a guy if he was messing with one of his teammates!

1.  We couldn't have done it without you!  The motivation that comes with the expectations we are held to is what kept getting us through the next game!  You knew we could and we did!

2.  VERY excited!  I honestly did not think I would get so into a sim league but my emotional investment is so high right now!  It was amazing to win like this and to have us all actually play together!  Everyone contributed and that is how you want to win!

3.  Just be with my family down by the lake, relaxing with the cup!  I then want to also go hang out with Teno when they bring the cup to the kids at the Teno Foundation!

4.  Just championship graphics, so many championship graphics!  Probably will be putting them out for the next 3 seasons lol

5.  Absolutely!  First season as a VHL GM and he takes this team that missed the playoffs last season, makes some VERY key trades and then gets to the cup finals and comes back from a 3-1 deficit to win the Continental Cup against one on the winningest teams in the league!?  He better win it!

6.  Playoffs Teno all the way, Regular Season I have to go with Molotov or Sock Monkey!  Crazy points and amazing +/-!

3. Bring it to the top of Big Ben, I guarantee it hasn't been there before!

5. 100%, he's one of the main reasons we were able to win the cup!
