New week, new presser!  No one word answers. 3 questions for 1 TPE, all 6 for 2 TPE!

 

1.  Who is one member of the VHL you wouldn't mind hanging out with in person?

2.  What pick do you think we will end up with in the lottery draft?

3.  What is your opinion of the VHLE?

4.  What is your favourite hockey related slang?

5.  Do you like magic?

6.  If you could have any vehicle, what would you

have?

1. Definitely you lol. 

But if I had to pick someone I didn't already know in real life it would be a toss up between Sam and Kirbithan. Both are awesome people I've chatted with on here and I think they would be cool to hang out with in person! 

2. No idea here. Honestly too much happening in real life these past couple of months I haven't paid attention to the VHL as much as I usually do. 

3. I enjoyed my time in the VHLE and think it is a good transition to have between the M and L. 

4. I don't think I know any hockey slang! 

5. I am not a magic fan myself. 

6. A sweet self driving one! I don't drive.

6.  If you could have any vehicle, what would you

have?

1. I would say McWolf since I’ve known him the longest and have talked with him more in the past even a couple times when I was out of the VHL for a while.

2. Hopefully we can win it and get 1st, that would be pretty great but even not we should have a top 5 pick.

3. I like the step between personally. I think having a 300~ TPE player playing in the VHL is too low and your player will get dominated by 900+ players or just never score on most goalies either. I think it gives an opportunity to meet more people as well

4. There’s nothing quite like going Bar-Down

5. Are you talking witchcraft and wizards? No. Are you talking about Magic the Gathering? Yes.

6. My wife and I bought a used Tesla Model 3 recently and I’ve been really happy with it. It’ll save us money in the long run and it’s a very comfortable vehicle to drive. It has a lot of great features as well

[BOOM 8,759]

1.  Who is one member of the VHL you wouldn't mind hanging out with in person?

 

There's a few tbh, but both @Berocka and @OrbitingDeath  would be quite fun.

 

2.  What pick do you think we will end up with in the lottery draft?

 

I'll go first. It's time the Titans had some luck.

 

3.  What is your opinion of the VHLE?

 

It's OK I guess. Veterans tend to think it's a bit of a stop on the way to the big dance.

 

4.  What is your favourite hockey related slang?

 

Let's hockey, eh?

 

5.  Do you like magic?

 

Only if it involves sawing someone in half....and it goes horribly wrong.

 

6.  If you could have any vehicle, what would you

have?

 

A big mofo Battle tank, so I could crush all the stupid Cybertrucks that the wealthy and celebs think are cool.

6.  When on team road trips, what does your player bring to the team?

1. I've only had one player in the league so far but I'd be interested in choosing a different position than the one my player is in the future to mix it up. 

2. I do not. I haven't tried any other hockey related games and I currently don't have any time too. 

3. Grouse mountain I think! I didn't hike up there but taking the gondola up and then walking up part of the mountain was neat. 

4. I don't have an opinion on them as I'm not too sure what goes on behind the scenes. They seem like mysterious shadowy figures! 

5. Hmm that's tough. There are a bunch of interesting jobs around here. Probably one of the moderators for the offseason tournaments since I haven't had time to do something like that. 

6. A list of the best places to eat!

1. @Mysterious_Fish for sure. Accidentally spent like 4+ hours on the podcast recording and had to cut it down so much. We just love yapping together

2. #16 Helsinki for cup champs

3. I like the idea of it. I had a lot of fun there this past season

4. Silky mitts for clean dangles.
5. I'm not a big basketball fan. Oh you mean tricks? No I hate being lied to. Magicians are just lying to my face when they do a trick. They probably make fun of me behind my back after...
6. My actual answer is shelby GT500. My smart answer is a Bugatti la voiture so I can sell it then buy a Shelby GT500

1.  How did you or how do you choose what type of player you want to create?

I wanted to create a 2 way playmaker, at the moment it's going alright.

2.  Do you play any other hockey related games?

Not a lot, maybe on my free time when I'm extremely board.

3.  What is the tallest place you've been, not including an airborne vehicle?

I can't say, I don't remember the tallest building I have ever  been on. 

4.  What do you think of the VHL BOG (Board of Governors)?

I can't say much about them because I don't really know what they're up to most of the time.

5.  What job do you never want in the VHL?

Media spot, reason being it's the most boring thing on earth.

6.  When on team road trips, what does your player bring to the team?

My player bring A5 waygu every game.

6.  When on team road trips, what does your player bring to the team?

1. Goalie. Always goalie. Never not goalie (goalie)

2. I play a lot of Hockey Nation, I've been trying to get into EHM and FHM10 but I need to take the time to actually figure out those games to play them properly lol

3. The peak of Panorama mountain in the Rockies

4. I don't know! I honestly thought BOG stood for Back of Game. Like a developer. They seem really cool though I don't think I've directly interacted with any of them though

5. I think being a simmer. It just doesn't seem like my kinda thing.

6. Karaoke machine. And frisbee

[BOOM 8,759]

1.  How did you or how do you choose what type of player you want to create?

 

It's random, but always a F or D, never a G. No desire to create a Goalie....ever.

 

2.  Do you play any other hockey related games?

 

Nope. I'm thinking of going back to the SHL instead, so maybe that counts.

 

3.  What is the tallest place you've been, not including an airborne vehicle?

 

The Burj Khalifa in Dubai.

 

4.  What do you think of the VHL BOG (Board of Governors)?

 

I think we should have fresh elections and oust the Best people here but socially distanced.

 

5.  What job do you never want in the VHL?

 

GM. I can't manage my own player, let alone a team full of shitheads just like me, with egos, hopes and dreams.

 

6.  When on team road trips, what does your player bring to the team?

 

Nothing. He sits by himself and speaks to no one.

6.  When on team road trips, what does your player bring to the team?

1. I just wanted to make a solid two way winger with a focus on goal scoring. It’s also the style player I also play in NHL

2. I don’t do any other sim league stuff but I do play NHL a little bit with my brother and cousin

3. I would have to say the CN Tower in Toronto

4. I don’t really know enough to have a great opinion to be honest. From what I see though it seems like they run the league well. I don’t know how they could really do things differently

5. It would be hard to be a GM in the VHLM. The turnover rate must be super high and you’re helping a lot of new comers (which is great) but then they just disappear and never come back. You also lose your best players so fast. I guess it’s a lot like the CHL in that sense

6. Just making sure everyone’s having a good time and we continue to work hard

1. Based my player on crosby  

2. I use to play the NHL games but I don't have a console anymore so I haven't played any of the recent ones.

3. Ohh maybe the top of yosemite or ben nevis I'm not really sure what's taller.

4. I don't really know what they do so don't have an opinion.

5. Probably recruitment.

6. full english breakfast really gets the london boys stoked.

6.  What is your players greatest weakness?

1. Painstakingly go through the last 25 Hall of Fame players to study their builds and strategy to create the proverbial Michael Jordan of the league.

2. Couch or my office, great for relaxing.

3. I last rode a bike in 2022 on a beach trip.  Didn't realize it had been that long!

4. Absolutely. I never stepped on the baselines when I played baseball.

5. The closest local pub to drink with the unwashed masses

6. That I don't have any weaknesses

5.  If your player wins the cup, where do they take it first?

6.  What is your players greatest weakness?

1. You should make a player named "please don't draft me" in the mean time and see what happens. Or maybe named "I'm going to retire" and just not say when.

 

2. My office. Other than that I'm a 60 second walk from the beach so sometimes I just go and ponder my orb on the beach

 

3. The last time I've ever touched a bike was when I did a 40 mile marathon around my city when I was 17 or 18. I did not want to bike for a long time after that lmao

 

4. Yes and no. I think superstitions are a lot of fun and can build good team chemistry and relations, like a ritual. If superstitions do affect an actual game in any way, it doesn't affect it more than the hard work of the players.

 

5. Calgary

 

6. He gets heat-stroke very easily. Luckily not a factor in a winter sport like Hockey, so he has ZERO weakness'

 

[BOOM 8,759]

1.  I'm taking a break from having a player. What should I do to prepare for the next one?

 

Just enjoy the freedom from not having PT's to complete, and the sim engine screwing your player for a while.

 

2.  Where do you go when you want some peace and quiet?

 

Already have my land, so no need to go anywhere else.

 

3.  Do you ride a bicycle? When was the last time you rode?

 

Only MTB, but it's been a month or two.

 

4.  Do you believe in sports superstitions?

 

I'm superstitious in general(maybe OCD) so yes, why not?

 

5.  If your player wins the cup, where do they take it first?

 

I doubt I have to worry about that with this player...what a scrub.

 

6.  What is your players greatest weakness?

 

Ego and blaming everyone else for their poor performance.

[sportexperts show 80]

1. Just live life without stressing to make pt’s in time

2. My room will always be my number one answer

3.Rode a bike not to long ago, I have some sort of a mountain bike in horrible shape

4. I believe in superstitions! I use the same socks every game without cleaning them until we lose. When we lose, I wash them and do it again

5. Take it back home to Canada for sure!

6. Certainly the lack of confidence with the puck

Make a player with a funny theme and make it elite.

2.  Where do you go when you want some peace and quiet?

I would say my sleep because no one can really reach me when I'm asleep.

3.  Do you ride a bicycle? When was the last time you rode?

No, never rode one before.

4.  Do you believe in sports superstitions?

I would say everyone has some sort  of superstition in anything in life. So, yes.

5.  If your player wins the cup, where do they take it first?

Do the closes fisherman outpost.

6.  What is your players greatest weakness?

Lack of water and food, but lack of sleep kills.

6.  Are you watching the Olympics at all?  What's events?

1. I think we’re hopeful to make the playoffs but maybe not quite out of the rebuild. It depends on how the season plays out

2. My last player I switched from a forward to D for my last season because London desperately needed a defenseman and I wanted to help the team

3. I would yes. I would think that my player would still be somewhat serviceable even as a vet

4. Congrats! That’s awesome! As for a name I would say something more traditional rather than a trendy name like Hannah, or Emily

5. Years ago someone did a painting of the golf course that my family owns so we have that. As a wedding gift someone made a wooden sign and engraved our names with the golf courses logo on it as well

6. I haven’t been no, I’m not all that interested in watching any summer sports

1.  What is something a bit different you would do if you were the GM of a VHL team?

I would like to see a team in Quebec or Halifax.

2.  Are you more of a fan of trading or drafting?

I like both. Both allow potential talent to be brought on to a team but at different times and ways.

3.  Do you have any ideas for new point tasks?

No not really yet, but would be cool to see.

4.  With 16 teams currently in the VHL, how many more would you like to see?

I think the number is fine, but only should increase if more players chose to join the league.

5.  What is your favourite movie?

I don't really think I have one.

6.  Do you currently own any nerf guns? Do you want to?

I do have one, but I never really use it and it's just there.

1. I would mandate a relocation to Atlanta, no questions asked.

2. I think trading gets more value, but also can be riskier

3. Honestly? No.  I like all the ones we have.

4. Four more, with at least one team in Atlanta

5. Lost in Translation

6. No and yes!

1.  What is something a bit different you would do if you were the GM of a VHL team?

If I was; for example: the GM of the Riga Reign; I would advocate for the name of the team to be changed to the Royski Reign for a competitive advantage.

 

2.  Are you more of a fan of trading or drafting?

I love drafts so much, I think they are so exciting. It's so much fun to get to see people get excited about their players and meet new people.

 

3.  Do you have any ideas for new point tasks?

A reporter! You can ask an individual player 3 questions about their game, performance or about themselves for 1 capped tpe (for a max of 2 players for 2 tpe a week). Players can also claim their answers for the same amount of tpe (1 tpe for 3 questions). Both asking and answering share a cap. The answers will be reported to a section on the forum for submission, and will follow guidelines or a template for posting the answers.

 

4.  With 16 teams currently in the VHL, how many more would you like to see?

I think 16 is a good number. Nice and round and smooth. With that being said the number of VHL teams is heavily influenced by the member and active player count, so seeing a lot would be good because that would mean a lot of new people!

 

5.  What is your favourite movie?

The Kingsman. Or maybe something like Top Gun: Maverick. I can never remember what movies I like

 

6.  Do you currently own any nerf guns? Do you want to?

Yes. Always. I want one of those big nerf machine guns with the tripods.
