1. I am a team person first, so I would go with winning the VHL championship and having terrible stats.

 

2. Despite question one, I would want to get my player into the Hall of Fame.

 

4. I would want to be able to travel when and where I want.  I don't mind learning things the old fashion way.

 

5. I would like to go back in time, not to 'fix' any mistakes, but to experience things over again.

 

8. Gaining invisibility is the ultimate superpower to me.

 

6. I would like to find a genie in the bottle so I could gain invisibility and go back in time.

1) Absolutely the cup every season. Don't get me wrong if you're playing forward literally scoring 5 points a year it's probably kinda boring - I am all for the team but you do need to see some individual production to stay interested - but 8 cups in a row is wild.

2) I very much agree that the player takes more luck and the builder takes more work/effort which is more important, but that's why I'd actually say player. Builder seems like something if you are committed to the league you can accomplish it eventually, but the player takes effort AND the blessing of the sim.

3) Definitely right away. Nothing against the M, I usually enjoy my time there but it's all about the big leagues.

4) While they both sound pretty good, give me the travel.

6) Find the genie.

9) Anywhere in outer space, I don't want anything to do with the deep ocean.

1. What are your thoughts on your player so far this season?

2. What are your thoughts on the team so far this season?

3. Who has been our biggest rival in S97? Which team(s) have we had the closest games against?

4. If your player could wear a tinted visor would they wear one? Which colour would they choose to wear?

5. Are you/your player a person who uses a bunch of tape around your shin pads? Or do you just raw dog it? I remember growing up and seeing teammates with giant tape balls in their bag and adding to it after every practice/game!

6. Now that Christmas and New Years is over I’m ready for winter to drift away. What next biggest holiday are you looking forward to? Valentine’s Day? St Patrick’s Day? Easter?

7. Have you been following the NHL this season? Which team do you route for if you have one? Do you follow specific players?

8. The NFL Super Bowl is just around the corner! Whether you’re a football fan or not it’s a very hyped up event. Do you tend to watch the Super Bowl? Do you have a watch party with friends or just watch on your own?

9. I forget if I’ve asked this before, what is the best or worst job you have ever worked for?

10. Malmo is inviting everyone to Lucy’s house because she has a massive backyard outdoor rink with big lights, a heated change room, and boards that go all the way around the rink (disregard the fact that she lives in Texas). You have to bring some type of food or drink, what are you bringing?? I’m bringing a bunch of Tim Hortons hot chocolate and timbits.

Edited January 15 by AJW

1) I've been super underwhelming this season to be honest, one of my worst VHL seasons to date which makes no sense. It kinda sucks but at the end of the day Malmo is in a pretty good place so I can't complain too much. But I wonder where we would be if Rave was playing up to his potential.

 

2) I think we're doing great. Contending for first in the EU & Victory Cup, basically a few points back with a game in hand, you can't ask for much more than that.

 

3) For some reason it seems like Calgary has been our biggest rival in S97. It's weird to say that about a team in the other conference but we've played them 4 times already and always feels like they have our number. Maybe we'll get the chance to get them back in the playoffs.

 

4) Oh heck yeah, a tinted black or dark blue visor would be sweet.

 

7) I'm a Jets fan. There are a few specific players I follow but in particular I still love watching Patrik Laine score goals and want to see him reach his potential, which I think is extremely high. I've become a bit of an Oilers fan as well because McDavid and Draisaitl are so much fun to watch.

 

10) Well, Lucy the player canonically lived in Alberta with the huge backyard rink according to Lightbringer, so it works... I'll bring the Taco Bell  actually, probably a cheesy hashbrown casserole that is one of my favourite things to eat

1. I think Shaw’s been doing pretty decent. I did expect slightly more, but I will take what he’s being doing this season, and hope to continue improving season upon season for the team!

2. I think that we’re lowkey doing really really well. I hope that we can sustain this, and maybe be near the top of the league come playoff time!

4. Yess! Shaw does love himself the colour purple (though I’d be impossible to see through it, it’d be pretty cool

7. Unfortunately I have, as a Canucks fan, it’s been a bit of a rough year. On the bright side Hughes is a superstar like I said he would be in 2020!

8. Usually watch it with my dad, we have this thing where that’s the only game we watch, and my mom and sister come in for the half time show!

10. Would’ve brought some Tims if you weren’t, but considering that gotta bring some cookies and sweets, maybe some from India, and get you guys addicted as well!

1. I have a shot at the triple, quadruple, and quintuple crowns for a goalie. Ecstatic at the prospect of making that happen. Could cement myself in VHL history.

2. Playing great, just gotta stay on top of things, and keep that puck out of the net.

3. We have only played them once but it's Moscow, those are our biggest games of the season.

4. I'm not Chad Powers @Big_Dyl need all the visibility I can get. 

6. Whatever day we lift the cup.

10. I'm bringing all the cups, plates, silverware, and napkins. Goalies are the anchor of the team and should I line be the anchor of the BBQ.

1. I am doing about as well as I thought.  Need to be a little more active to help gain more TPE.

 

2. I am very happy with where the team is right now...  we need to just keep pushing and winning.

 

4. I am not convinced that a tinted vision give a play that much of an advance, so I probably would not wear one.

 

6. I have been a Washington Capitals fan for years. I am obviously following Ovechkin's quest to win the goal-scoring title.

 

8. I will watch the SuperBowl no matter who is playing, but I would be even more into it if the Rams are playing.

 

10. I would probably just bring a ton of BBQ meats.

1. Really happy with Jensen this year.  He’s been as good as he has ever been and considering it’s his ninth season, I’m pretty thrilled about that.  
 

2. Really happy with how well we have played as well.   But let’s be honest…this team will be judged on the playoffs. So hopefully..this is finally our year. 
 

4. He probably wouldn’t wear one.  With that being said, I do like the dark tinted visors. 
 

7. I’m a huge Habs fan.  Only team I really cheer for at all.  
 

8. My wife and I don’t do a lot but like to get together with some friends to watch the SB or as my wife calls it…”The __________ Concert”.  
 

10.  I mean…I love to cook so I’m definitely making my chicken and sausage gumbo.

3. Trade deadlines are sometimes scary/exciting for players with the thoughts of potentially being shipped away to a new team, new environment, new people. What does your player feel about the possibility of being traded? Are they okay with going somewhere else? Is Malmo the only organization you'd play for?

4. Malmo is still hot halfway through the season! Do you think we have enough fuel in the tank to finish 1st in the league?

5. What has been your favourite part of S97 so far?

6. Sometimes players are just waiting for the season to end and playoffs to start. Are you the type of player who loves playing all 72 regular season games or are you someone who is counting down the days until playoffs?

7. The Malmo Nighthawks are known for our bright green colours as you can see on our logo, we are the only "green" team in the VHL. Do you like our colours/logo? Would you change anything if you could?

8. What colour of tape do you use for your stick? I've always done white tape on the blade and the butt end, have never taped the shaft before, Phil Kessel never influenced me enough.

9. I'm getting tired of winter, I'm not sure if you are too... I would love to book a trip somewhere hot by a beach/ocean. What are some hot destinations you would recommended me to visit?

2) I think our roster is ready to go, we're playing very well right now.

 

3) I don't want to be traded - I'd love to play my whole career in Malmo. But at the same time I don't want to hold the team back just because I don't want to play somewhere else, so if management were to entertain a rebuild I wouldn't say Malmo is the only place I'd play. At this point in the season though I would be pretty disappointed. Fortunately I have a no-trade clause and would probably activate it if I were to be traded at the deadline... but I am pretty sure I'm not going anywhere lol 

 

4) First in the league in the regular season isn't really a big deal to me, but I do think we are playing well enough to pull it off, yes.

 

5) S97 has been great! It's nice to see @Advantage hit some career milestones like the Malmo all-time record and 700-point marks, it's been great to get to play on a team with @LucyXpher, and @Pifferfish is having a season to remember between the pipes so far which is awesome. But I guess if I had to pick one thing, I think seeing Jensen's accomplishments this season is pretty cool since we've been teammates for so long. He deserves it.

 

6) I mean it depends, there are definitely times where you just want the season to be over with, I think that usually comes when you're not on a competitive team though. With Malmo my whole time here we've always been a good team and quite often in a race for positioning, Victory Cup, etc. so it's been interesting right to the very end.

 

7) Malmo's branding is phenomenal. I do think the logo should get rid of the word "Nighthawks", it's perfect without it. The colours though are so nice.
