Welcome to Season 95 remember to answer all questions with full sentences.

 

1) What do you see as Mexico's greatest strength currently?

2) What do you see as Mexico's greatest weakness currently?

3) What is your players greatest strength currently?

4) What is your players greatest weakness currently?

5) Which team do you think is our greatest opponent this season, why?

6? Which team do you think will place last this season, why?

1. Mexico City has a very active and inspiring locker room as our greatest strength. 
2. Our greatest weakness in my opinion is filling all of the holes of players that left for the VHLE league.
3. My player's greatest strength is contributing to the defense and playing in the defensive zone.
4. My player's greatest weakness is keeping up with opposing defenses whenever he starts playing offense.
5. I think every team in the league is great to face during the season because every day is a challenge. 
6. I think the team that collects the least amount of TPE will end up in last place this season because developing every week is very important to a team record.

6) What is your opinion of Mexico's logo?

1. Mainly in how everyone stays optimistic even when the team struggles a bit.

2. Would probably want a store like Aldi to sponsor, mainly since I'd only want sponsorships from companies that I like

3. I frankly would be ok playing for any time in the league, but I'm glad I chose to come here.

4. I put my headphones in, get hyped up and get in the zone.

5. I liked my wood stick, but the composite has been my favorite since it's been lighter.

6. It's decent, but there's but too much going on

1. If my memory is correct it was the first team I ever played for in sim leagues

2. Fitz's Root Beer

3. Probably LVA since its a team I've played for in the past as well

4. Relaxing by himself and chewing unusual amounts of gum

5. Composite...Who usues wood anymore. Old fashioned

6. Pretty peak I would declare

I know this is last week's, but I didn't do it and don't feel like coming up with the questions for A3A3 this week haha.

 

1. Honestly, I've never really given any thought to Mexico City, being European and nothing I'm particularly interested in coming from Mexico. I must admit I know next to nothing about Mexico City. I'll tell you what's not my favorite thing - the weather.

 

2. Fishing is probably the most expensive hobby I'm really seriously into, so probably Sonubaits. I used to use their baits when I was fishing competitively, but it's just too damn expensive without a sponsorship.

 

3. I guess Miami, Ricer sounds like a great GM and a great guy.

 

4. He's one of the guys who puts on headphones to pump himself up. He sits on the boards, listens to "Guten Tag" by Varg and eats a decent amount of roasted sunflower seeds. He doesn't carb load, he's on keto 

 

5. I used to play with a wooden stick as a kid, then got my first composite stick at around 12. Much lighter and whippier. Shooting with the wooden stick was just painful.

 

6. Mexico and Prague are probably my favorite logos to be honest.

1. We have a number of solid players that can do a few different roles for the team and we excel over others

 

2. Erhardt at times has been a 200 foot player, but most certainly excels in D, showing no mercy when it comes to hits

 

3. He's currently working on making his hits more debilitating by focussing on body checking

 

4. Should never happen. EVER!!

 

5. You have to boast. If it's just mild, what's the point. Get in their face and laugh, drink out their bottle. Enjoy

 

6. Just chilling when not training, usually in the pub. Good at interacting with the young fans in the street

1. We got that magic juice thats 100% legal

2. I've been playing significantly better in net. Gained a ton in SV%

3. I'm capped out right now but I've been focusing on being well rounded

4. Never had it but wouldn't say no to trying it

5. They can be good but sometimes people go a bit excessive for the moment

6. Relaxation and staying as together as possible

1) What is your greatest VHL experience?

2) Tell me about a bad VHL experience you have had?

3) Tell me about any thoughts you have about your next potential player?

4) What is the best thing about your current player?

4) What is the best thing about your current player?

5) What is the worst thing about your current player?

6) If your player was going to be arrested what would it be for?

 

1. That has to be a tie between my last 2 seasons in Vancouver and my last 2 seasons in London. The S89 and S90 Wolves were the best LR I've been a part of so far, and with the S93 and S94 United, my last player had the most individual on-ice success.

 

2. The end of S94. My last player never won a championship, despite playing in the finals in the M, in the E, and three (or was it 4?) times in the VHL. To end the career with a game 7 finals loss was heartbreaking.

 

3. He's gonna be the polar opposite of my current player - an undersized winger with the silkiest mitts and deadly shot, think Patrick Kane.

 

4. The fact the new toy excitement hasn't worn off yet! He's got a long ahead of him, and I'm looking forward to what can he do.

 

5. The fact I have to bank TPE. I want to watch him grow!

 

6. I don't know, with SC and PA at 43, him and "offence" don't even belong in the same sentence! Probably for something like commiting a tax fraud. Not intentionally, but because he's an idiot.

1. Haven't been about long enough to say

2. Same as no. 1

3. I think I'd go with a winger, I'd stay tall and fat and for some reason I'm thinking Irishman

4. He's a decent 200 foot enforcer type D

5. At the moment he can't pass for toffee

6. Nothing. He is an upstanding gentleman of society!

1.  Its hard to really say since I usually take breaks between players and I forget a lot but I always remember draft day as something I look forward too

2. I don't have any bad experiences really maybe the only negative I have about the vhl is how demanding the pt is

3. Itll either be a goalie again or a Center since I've never had a forward

4. My overall well roundedness

5. Im not good at one particular thing

6. public indecency while being highly intoxicated

1. We won't go below 2nd in the conference, trust me

2. Probably not. No particular reason lol

3. Win

4. Anywhere between 10 and 15. He's already on 7 so it seems like a logical guess

5. If I don't do it this season, I expect to hit the 200 TPE mark. I'm quite close

6. We definitely will. We're good enough

1. I don't think we're catching Vegas, Philadelphia is a coin flip, but I think we can finish Above Missisauga to finish 3rd overall, their defense looks a bit shaky.

 

2. I don't think there will be many, I saw some guys with names I recognize have already re-created, I think the rest will do so after the season is done, they probably don't want to mess with the results.

 

3. With my first player, my team made the finals. Hopefully this squad can get a step further and win!

 

4. Looking at our schedule, getting shutouts against San Diego and Ottawa, would be good, but even better - a statement shutout win against Philadelphia or Missisauga? Yes, I'm going for a bold 10.

 

5. I haven't even been drafted yet, so it's hard to say. I'm definitely playing in the E, hopefully bringing a strong defensive impact regardless of the stats, just as my player is doing now. Hopefully Grønvold can be a no. 1 or no. 2 defenseman on league's best defensive team.

 

6. Twelve games left now to get six wins? We're better than that, looking at the schedule, I'm saying 43 wins.

1. I think well be stuck in fourth cant really go up and we can defend from fifth

2. I think we do. I expect atelast one to fall into our lap

3. get at least one shutout per series

4. I think ill get 9 at the end

5. I wont be around so I haven't really been looking into it

6. Yes I think we can pull it off

1. VHL and VHLE draft I guess

2. Could have done better defensively 

3. I'm almost at 200 so pretty well, although I didn't realise the season was happening until about a quarter the way through 

4. I'd get rid of some of the random skills with 1 or 2 TPE

5. I think so

6. Break through that 200 TPE mark

1. Mainly just the VHL draft, otherwise I've just been happy to improve my production.
2. Would have liked to stay out of the penalty box a little less but that's about it.
3. Could have done a little more but I feel good about where I'm gonna be heading to the VHLE.
4. Maybe add a little more leadership but otherwise I like how I've built my stats.
5. I do, but I probably won't want to do it.
6. Maintain a scoring pace similar to my first year in the VHLM.

1. Our slow start then going on an absolute heater was neat

2. Starting off hot instead of mid

3. I've been very happy with my earnings. 10/10

4. I don't think I would change anything. I am very happy with my player

5. I do not but I've probably heard it before

6. Now that I know ill be here for another season I expect a cup

1. Not VHL related, my hiking trip to Norway, which took half a season. VHL related, the insane winning streak we were on.

 

2. Definitely our start to the playoffs. We habe to turn this thing around ASAP.

 

3. I missed a few fantasy weeks when I was abroad, but I did 12 capped every week, I did theme week PT and player bio. I'm happy. Sadly I'm too cheap to donate for extra TPE.

 

4. To be honest, nothing, Grønvold is performing exactly how I wanted him to. If anything, I'd take back the 10 TPE in OV and put it in BC to double down on the defensive D-man build.

 

5. Yes, I used it with my first gen player. I didn't start the build very well, but Shindigs (miss ya buddy) showed me the way.

 

6. Well not winning the Renaissance Cup, that's for sure. Our core players will be well above 200 tpe, I expect nothing less than a deep playoff run!

1. pretty excited. I wasn't really wanting to go there anyway

2. I'm happy about it. Ready for the M to get more competitive

3. The gap between the top and bottom teams should be even bigger and one player can make a difference

4. Was never a fan of 3 leagues and the middle one felt like it was just there because

5. No real negatives from me I think its a good thing

6. I played in it for a single season and it was a while ago so I have no memory of it.

6) What was your experience with the VHLE?

 

1) The initial thought was "oh come on, why right now", I guess that would be the initial thought of anyone who doesn't hate the E and was supposed to play there the next season

 

2) No, I don't like it. I wanted to apply for a GM job in the E as soon as possible.

 

3) Not that much. I'll start the season very close to - if not at - the 400 tpe cap. I guess a 400 tpe player in a league of 30-400 tpe players will only be a bit more dominant than they would be in a league of 200-400 tpe players.

 

4) The E hater get what they've been calling for.

 

5) Us Europeans won't have the chance to play close to home until we reach the VHL.

 

6) I almost quit during my first gen's VHLE season. We were a great team, but I wasn't as invested in the game yet, and the locker room was pretty much dead. Thank you @Agito for keeping me engaged!
