1.  What merchandise would you buy from the VHL if they had it?

I would be honest and never buy anything from VHL. Maybe I would buy a franchise if they had that option.

2.  Do you own any hockey memorabilia?

I do have pucks from games, but nothing else than that. I have a lot of equipment I used I wanna give away soon.

3.  We are taking a beating in the standings currently, how are you feeling about it?

I can't really tell how it's going for you guys cause I'm still in VHLE, but I do hope you guys start winning.

4.  How tall is your player and why did you make them that tall?

I have no idea why I made my player 5'11, but it's what it is.

5.  What is your players jersey number and why did you pick that number?

I don't even know if my player has a number, but if it had one it would be 81.

6.  Does your player have any tattoos?

Nah, clean body and clean game. I don't think it would look good anyway.

1.  Should there be a season limit on how long you can be a VHL GM?

No, unless you suck you can stay.

2.  Theme week is “Rookies”. Is it too easy?

I can't haven't had the time to think about it yet.

By only giving ocean codollers 10000 TPE, but for real I would say have an all star tournament in each league.

I don't think I will, but you never know.

5.  What is your favourite comedy movie?

1. We've made a ton of trades during this offseason! What do you think of the makeup of the team so far?

We are da best! Absolutely da best! No better team to exist, when you have Grimgor Ironhide on your side.

2. If there were an area the team could improve upon, where would you want it to be? Offense, defense, or goaltending?

Defense, we need big bodies on the Blue line, ones that can hit big numbers and dominate!

3. The Draft just happened and we picked up a ton of players! Who are you most excited to see in a Titans uniform down the line?

Yeah, I happy to have that Darko guy on the team, hopefully he knows how to get us some nice drinks as he for sure needs time to get to our level!

4. We're quickly rising up through the power rankings in the EU Conference! What does a good season for the Titans look like to you?

We are da best, no question about it! We have to be da best! I dare anyone to stay in our path!

5. If you could change one thing about the team or yourself, what would it be and why?

Get more skill in fighting, have been losing my skills there quite a bit, need to show why I am da big boss!

6. Be honest, do you see the Titans winning the Cup this season?

If you don't believe, get off da team, we have to dominate and be da team everyone with brain expects us to be! EUROPE, BE AFRAID!!!!!!

6. Be honest, do you see the Titans winning the Cup this season?

1. I like it for the most part; the roster has been completely overhauled. I was a rookie last season and I already feel like one of the longest-tenured players on the team now.

2. Not sure yet, we'll have to see how we do the first half of the season and then address our weaknesses at the deadline.

3. I was most excited to see Draw Mac between the pipes, but now with Lovstrom here it appears that we'll have to wait a bit on that.

4. Successful Titan season would mean getting through the Wild Card round at minimum, given the amount of draft capital management has spent in order for us to contend.

5. I would [biased opinion] retire Rudolph Schmeckeldorf's number. He was a player from my agency in the S50's who was a lifelong Titan, and is near the top of most franchise leaderboards.

6. Honestly, no; hopefully, yes!

1) The team is looking awesome, I'm excited to be a part of it for these next couple seasons.

2) Probably the weakest area on the team is defense so I'd go with that I guess.

3) Hopefully Darko stays with it and if he does, could be a pretty good defenseman some day.

4) After the first six seasons of my career in Malmo, a good season can only be defined by playoff success at this point. If we're playing in the EU finals it'll be a good season but the main goal is winning it all.

5) Rave doesn't have much of a track record in the playoffs so far. But the good news is, I can change that and hopefully this season I will.

6) I don't know if I ever go into a season saying I see us winning it all, because any given year there's probably at least 5 or 6 teams that could realistically win it. But I do think we are one of those teams.

1. The S98 campaign begins tonight. Would you say you are more apprehensive or excited about it?

2. Pundits are pencilling Helsinki in as a playoff team already, what do you think of this?

3. Where do you see the Titans finishing in a strong EU conference this year?

4. Who do you think will be Helsinki’s MVP this season?

5. Do you foresee any holes in the team’s current construction that could be filled at the deadline?

6. What would you consider a “success” for this season in Helsinki?

1) I'm excited, it's a bit different for Rave being on a new team but looking forward to playing meaningful games again and trying to win a cup for Helsinki.

2) Yeah I would think with the team we have, we should end up in the playoffs.

3) Could see us finishing top-3, Davos and Moscow are going to be tough to beat but it could happen. I'd rather beat them in the playoffs than the regular season anyway though...

4) I think Lovstrom was the entire league's MVP last season and I could see it happening again, so him.

5) If anything, a really high-end defenseman but we're right up against the cap as is & probably hard to see one of those moving at the deadline, so not really. I think the team looks pretty good.

6) It's really only playoff success that matters to me especially after my time in Malmo. If we're in the conference finals I'd say we had a good year.

[Corco 1,340]

1. Almost a week into the new season, the Titans are off to a torrid start; who do you think Helsinki's MVP has been so far?
2. Are you surprised at how successful the start has been, or is this what you expected?
3. Do you think this run will be sustainable?
4. Do you think there are any Titans that could be in the running for major awards this season?
5. How do you feel about the Titans current logos/branding?
6. Would you be interested in the VHL developing a "trading card" system for every player/member in the league?

1) I think it could be Lovstrom based on the stats (6-0 .948 SV%) but he has only played 6 of the 10 games, so maybe I would say Grimgor Ironhide instead... leading the team in scoring, tied with Rave but a huge physical presence as well.

2) More or less what I expected, at least in that I figured we would be one of the top teams in the EU.

3) Similar to my answer to the previous question, I think it will be sustainable in that I think we will stay near the top of the EU. I wouldn't expect us to win 8 out of 10 all season long though. That would be like 57 wins, I could see 50ish.

4) Definitely, I think Lovstrom is pretty much a lock to be in the running for major awards and I could see both Ironhide and Rave being in the mix if things go well.

5) I think it's fine, it's not amazing, but the colours go well together and the logo is pretty simple which I think is a good thing.

6) It would be a lot of work I think, but it would be pretty neat to have.
