An Interview with Matthew McCagg

[TheNeonShaman 214]

This interview is from a few weeks ago and I just forgot to do it, hope you enjoy and thanks to @Jack kidd for featuring!

 

*Show’s theme song plays. Camera shows Joe Smith sitting at a desk, and Matthew McCagg sitting across from him.*

 

Joe Smith : Well folks welcome back to the show, today I’m here with star Ottawa Lynx goaltender, Matthew McCagg! *McCagg gives a wave to the camera.* Now Matthew actually leads the VHLM in wins and GAA, and is second in save percentage. In your opinion, how does this stack up to your other two seasons?
Matthew McCagg : Well that's an easy one. I really like the way I'm playing. I'm doing well and making saves, seeing the puck well and getting those rebounds and I think it really helps when I get the shutouts for the team.
Smith : You definitely have been incredible. 7 shutouts this year, over double your career best. It’s definitely something to be proud of! You really can keep that rubber lump out of the net. *McCagg gives him a strange look* Anyways, with those numbers, do you think you would call yourself the MVP of Ottawa? I feel there is definitely an argument to be made there looking at your impact.
McCagg : Well I think I pretty much am the MVP for Ottawa but there's some skaters who could be MVP for Ottawa.
Smith : Ah yes I couldn’t agree more. You’ve got a very good team there in Ottawa. Speaking of that team Matty, can I call you that? I’d love to know some stories from the Lynx locker room, I haven’t been able to get any out of Kegger.
McCagg : I wish I could have been in the locker room chatting more than I've been recently so I really don't have any stories but yes you can call me Matty.
Smith : Dang nabbit. I never can get any locker room stories. Well, looking at the team you guys have, do you think you have what it takes to win it all? (again this interview was a few weeks ago)

McCagg : Yes I think we do and I'm looking for redemption for last year's playoffs finals so I'm on a mission this year. 
Smith : That certainly would be an incredible story! I definitely have the Lynx at the top of my contenders list. Last thing, how does your future look? Is it finally off to the VHLE next season?
McCagg : Oh yeah it's what I planned on making that jump when I reached 200 and I'm going to try my best and hopefully I don't go below a 900 SV%.
Smith : Well that’s a good goal, if you go below a 900 SV% then you are instantly washed! *McCagg gives another look at Smith* Let’s see if you can continue your success in Europe next season, everyone is watching you. *Smith stares directly into McCagg’s eyes. McCagg starts to look around nervously as Smith continues to make eye contact. The camera cuts to black. After a few seconds it fades back in and McCagg is no longer there.*
Smith : Well everyone, that was a great interview! Best of luck to Matty and the Lynx in the playoffs! We’ll see you next time!

 

*Show’s outro plays and the screen fades to black again.*
