1. Prague had a busy draft class, which prospect are you most excited about?

PAN DAFFLECK

2. Week 1 is right around the corner! Where are you predicting Prague to finish in the standings?

Hmm...I'm not entirely too sure, but I'd love to start getting into the playoffs again.

3. Can you name (And ping) one teammate you're excited to play with this season and explain why?

@youloser1337WALLY LOSE!  Thorvy's bestie on and off the ice.

4. What's your jersey number and what's the story behind it?

10. I've always been 10 as a kid for sports and would love to retire one of my players with that number when they earn it.

5. If you ran a country and could name a national animal, what would it be and why?

I guess it would depend on where the country was! I would love to run a country that had lots of polar bears and declare that as the national animal so we could get Coca Cola to do lots of stuff with us.

6. I'm your new AGM! If you could request one thing from me what would it be?

Welcome to the Phamily! I'm excited to have you on board and only have one request: don't go IA on me.

[Mutti 193]

Hi, thanks for having me!

 

1. Prague has traded away Holmes for a 1st, 2nd and a 3rd. How do you feel about the trade?

 

To be honest, I don't feel like much. I just started playing here. But to some, it might be a bit sad, at least for a couple of days. But in the end, I think it is a better solution for all parties involved.

 

2. What do you need to work most on as a player?

 

Probably consistency. I know I can shut the net up but sometimes, even though I try, it just doesn't click. And then I let my team down, which I would like to avoid.

 

3. If you could be the GM of Prague for a day, what would you do?

 

I'd give Ondřej Vencko a raise for an exceptional performace. 

And then, I'd let myself get locked up in a mental asylum for being extremely delusional.

 

4. What is your go-to song at the moment and why?

 

It is an intrumental one, and it is called 'Rooftops'. You might know it, you might not. But it is the one track from Kowloon mission in CoD: Black Ops. 

And why? Well, go give it a listen. It's such a hype. Love it. The riff, the samples, the drums.. LOVE IT!!!

 

5. Prague is a city of rich history and culture. What's your favourite Prague fact?

 

Oooooh, there are too many to choose from, damn. It is in my homeland so I know it quite a bit.

But.. I'm gonna go with the one that 'Zlatá ulice', or Godlen street, isn't named after the precious metal per say.. But rather after something.. Less precious.

.. Yeah, Prague used to be very nasty.

 

6. If you had one dessert to pick to eat in the desert, what would it be and why?

 

If I had to pick a dessert to eat in a desert, I'd probably go for a fruit cupcake. I dunno if it's a thing globally, but here we have this thing called 'linecký košíček' with fruits and jelly on it.. It's so delicious. Give it a try, once you come here to the Czech Republic!

1. Prague has traded away Holmes for a 1st, 2nd and a 3rd. How do you feel about the trade?

I already miss him. Sucks we couldn't have an elite line with him and Daffleck, but perhaps we can attain that down the road...

2. What do you need to work most on as a player?

Thorvy is a shutdown defenseman similar to Daffleck. He did really well on points for his rookie season, but he wants more shots blocked... Thorvy just needs to work on his shadow defense.
3. If you could be the GM of Prague for a day, what would you do?

For me this is a silly question as I am the GM for Prague. If I could be the GM for Vancouver I would give Thorvy the A for just a day because I could.
4. What is your go-to song at the moment and why?

Hmm...I don't really have a go-to song. I think this comes from my eclectic taste in music! I do love me some Devin Townsend though...anything.
5. Prague is a city of rich history and culture. What's your favourite Prague fact?

I'm gonna be honest...I don't know much about the city itself except its beauty. Perhaps this will be my next history dive.
6. If you had one dessert to pick to eat in the desert, what would it be and why?

Any pastry would do perfectly in the desert. Costco's almond danish would be perfect.

[Plate 386]

Answer 3 for 1 TPE, or all 6 for 2!

1. Prague has 5 wins, the 2nd lowest in the VHL above London who has 1. Who will come out on top by the end of the season?
2. Give a shoutout to another member in the league (Not on our team) and share your favourite memory of them with us!
3. Prague had 11 wins last season. Will we have more or less by the end of this season?
4. For my hip hop allies out there, Tupac or Biggie Smalls?
5. Is there a movie that changed your life? If so, what one and why?
6. I think saying that the world is your oyster is stupid. What do you think the world is?

Nice PC, I love it here!

1. 

- Between Prague and London? I feel like we could end up better than them. We are in the middle of a rebuild, but we keep fighting and we drag games to OTs and/or shootouts as well. Maybe we can pull out a cinderella story during the season but.. I would remain realistic about that.

 

2.

- Lucy Leitner. From the time in the Minors, where we wercked havoc in Houston, she has been my favourite player to watch play and to spend time with. Love ya, Luc!  @LucyXpher

 

3.

- More. More. MOOOOORE!!!!

We have to. I will try to lock in, so that we can move forward, raaah!

 

4.

- I'm not really an expert when it comes to hip hop music. But I'll say Tupac. 

 

5.

- I'd say that Tarantino and Nolan movies shaped me quite a lot. They hepled me to shape my perception of human-human interaction and to cherish the power of music. That, in turn, hepled to motivate me to pick up the bass guitar and play. That is movies alongside videogames (Driv3r soundtrack fucking rocks!!).

 

6.

- Fucked up. 

 

Alternatively, it is a theatre. Life is one huge play, where you and others rotate between being actors and audience. We all can alter our roles, give all kind of feedback, we change roles and script throughout the different acts of this huge play, until it ends, as your two eye curtains shut, forever.

Thanks for having me!

See you soon!

You’re the best

I need us to be teammates again so we have an excuse to write more goofy articles… or we can just start tagging each other in stuff randomly lol.  That’s it, I’m writing you into my next article, it’s happening

I dare you, I double dare you!

 

I believe that teammates or not, we'll always find a way to goof around.

 

Or we'll just notify our press writers to arrange interviews again, lul.

Press Conference

Week Ending 10 November 2024

 

Hey Phantoms! Plate is full with life stuff this week, so this week I have some questions for ya!

 

1. We're approaching the number of points total last season, but we're just about to hit half-way! Are things finally looking less grim as we progress and add more players to our roster?

 

2. It's Trade Deadline (TDL) week! Do you think Prague will make any trades? If so, what would make the most sense?

 

3. In conjunction with TDL is theme week! What are your thoughts on the theme of VHL History?

 

4. How is your favorite sports team(s) doing this year?

 

5. We had 2 incredible shutouts by both goalies the other day! What are your thoughts on our main goalie Amir Redzic and backup Ondrej Vencko?

 

6. Winter is coming! Though we are still seeing some tropical storms and hurricanes out in the Carribean/Gulf... How has the weather been where you live for the past week?

[Mutti 193]

Hey there, thanks for having me!

 

1. We're approaching the number of points total last season, but we're just about to hit half-way! Are things finally looking less grim as we progress and add more players to our roster?

- I believe so, yeah. The games are always very close, and we are able to steal some points. I think it's becoming to click. Soon, we'll haunt the league!

 

 

2. It's Trade Deadline (TDL) week! Do you think Prague will make any trades? If so, what would make the most sense?

- Oh, I am not sure, to be honest.

I don't like to get myself involved in trades didcussions much.

I think now the team needs to solidify and then get some strong guns for offense, for example.

 

 

3. In conjunction with TDL is theme week! What are your thoughts on the theme of VHL History?

- It's really cool!

I think we've witnessed many impressive and amazing pieces written by many talented members. The level of creativity here is immense, you love to see it.

 

 

 

4. How is your favorite sports team(s) doing this year?

- My favourite sports teams are:

Blackhawks, Red Wings, Flyers, Devils and Kraken.

 

I think that answers your question very well.

 

 

5. We had 2 incredible shutouts by both goalies the other day! What are your thoughts on our main goalie Amir Redzic and backup Ondrej Vencko?

- I think Amir is doing a really fucking good job!!

He is amazing, with the shifts he has (around 45+ shot on goal per night). I am so glad I can back him up!

 

 

6. Winter is coming! Though we are still seeing some tropical storms and hurricanes out in the Carribean/Gulf... How has the weather been where you live for the past week?

- It has been freezing around here. I dunno what's happening but.. It's so fucking cold around here. I hate winter. 

 

Anyways, thank you so much for the questions. I'll see you later!

 

- Ondrej Vencko

[Plate 386]

Answer 3 for 1 TPE, or all 6 for 2!

1. Do we buy or sell at the trade deadline?
2. Prague currently has a -84 goal differential. Will this be an issue for future seasons?
3. Helsinki and London are both below us in the standings. Will either of them pass us?
4. Do you play any instruments?
5. Coke or Pepsi? There is a correct choice.
6. Remembrance day was this week. Is there any of your family that fought in a world war? What is their story?

Hey there, let's get em questions!

 

1. 

Tough one. I'd say buy, to get some good pieces to help and further develop our prospects. But I don't really know, I'll just focus on keeping the pucks out of the net.

 

2.

I think that as we progress further, into future seasons, we'll improve this statistic. 

Right now, we're in the middle of the rebuild and many people, our fans included, know that we can't really push it to make a deep run. But with that in mind, we can safely assume that we're going to be a competitive team really soon.

 

3.

Honestly and with all the respect to said teams, I don't think so. We're kinda locked in, or at least as much as our situation allows us to be.

We're going to finish in the stronger part of lower standings list, I believe.

 

4.

Yes, I do!

I mainly focus on playing the bass guitar but I also play a normal and an electeic guitar.

I lvoe music. More questions on this topic, please?

 

5.

As a born Czech native, it is my duty to say Kofola.

It's really good, go and find out yourself once you're in the Czecv Republic!

 

6.

To be honest, I don't quite know his story but my great-grandpa's brother was a legionare during the Great War, on the Russian front.

I know where he's buried and I'm planning to go and visit him and pay my respects.

To all of you who lost a relative during any horrible conflict, I send my condolences. 

May world never get this insane ever again.

 Prague Phantoms Press Conference 

Week Ending November 24 2024

 

1. What's poppin', Prague?! The regular season is officially over! Moscow led the league in points with 117 which was almost 10 more than the team behind them. Do you think they'll take home the Cup this season or will the Victory Cup curse get them a 1st round exit?

 

2. What is your player doing while on vacation before Training Camp?

 

3. We did much better this season pointwise at 45 compared to last season's 28. We were also shy 13 points from getting into the playoffs. What do you think next season looks like for Prague?

 

4. Word on the street is Ondrej Vencko will be Prague's starting goalie next season. How has his locker room presence been and how well has he performed in the crease when called up?

 

5. North America is finally feeling some cool air (some areas even have snow!). How's the weather been treating you where you are currently and is it gonna get better or worse?

 

6. Outside of the VHL, what is a hobby you enjoy and what about it interested you?

6. Outside of the VHL, what is a hobby you enjoy and what about it interested you?

1. Hey there! Well, it was a season full of surprises, we managed to pull off massive shockers against teams that should've just steamrolled over us. So I believe that Moscow can eihter dominate until the end or get upset in the first round. I'd say that they won't fall victim to the Curse, they will, however, fail in the next round.

 

2. He's at home, in his native country, on vacation.. What do you think?  But he will get sober before the training camp, as his agent I promise this!

 

3. We're making the playoffs! No, like.. That would be the most awesome, epic result, if everything clicked the right way. But I feel like we're getting used to each other's game and becoming a contending team. If not for the cup, I believe we can wreck havoc in the playoffs for sure.

 

4. I hope it has been alright.. For any inconveniences caused by his alcoholic shenanigans I hereby apologize.

 

5. Oh man, don't even talk about that. It has been soooooo cold lately. And it's only going to get worse. I don't mind snow but freezing and cold wind is something I cannot withstand. Ew.

 

6. Music. Definitely. I got hooked on the idea of composing total bangers for tons of people to enjoy and/or to relate to! I love the energy and the ability of storytelling instruments have. You can express all kinds of emotions, feelings, opinions and moods. I love it!

 

Thank you for the questions, they have been awesome!

 Prague Phantoms Press Conference

Week Ending 8 December 2024

 

1. The VHL cup finals are here...and as of this post it will be game 5 between the Vancouver Wolves and HC Davos Dynamo. It's been a really good back-and-forth series! Which team do you have winning it all in the end?

 

2. What off-season tournaments are you looking forward to participating in?

 

3. Prague got 5th overall in the lottery drawing...out of 6. Do you think the odds hate the Phantoms?

 

4. The last 2 drafts there was a "Panda" drafted 1st overall (one of which plays here now). Do you think the Red Pandas are trying to change the way things are done in the VHL or are they just silly little guys?

 

5. If you follow Pokemon who would you say is your favorite? If not, what doesn't appeal to you from it?

 

6. What are your plans for today?

4. They are definitly just silly little guys, but they deserve greatness that is for sure.

 

5. I have too many favourites, but Gengar is definitly one of them, fitting the Phantoms part

1. How do you feel about the draft?
2. Will Prague make the playoffs next season?
3. What are the chances Prague gets a cup in the next 5 seasons?
4. What is the most over-rated hockey statistic?
5. What is the meaning of life?
6. CHRISTMAS IS ALMOST HERE ARE YOU EXCITED!????? (And if you don't celebrate is there anything you're excited about?)

[Tetricide 692]

1. How do you feel about the draft?

I feel pretty good about it, actually. I wish I was able to make a couple moves, but it's fine..

2. Will Prague make the playoffs next season?

Hmm...realistically I don't think so. Sanzone will be retiring and we likely won't be seeing Banner back...even though I'd like to. So we'll be down 2 bodies and we need at least 6 forwards with only two 1st rounders to use to get 'em. Odds are not looking good for a playoff contention.

3. What are the chances Prague gets a cup in the next 5 seasons?

I think, where we stand, anything is possible. Especially a Cup and we're shooting for that in less than 5.

4. What is the most over-rated hockey statistic?

I'm not sure that I'd agree that there's any overrated hockey stat... but I guess if I had to say any it would be shooting percentage.

5. What is the meaning of life?

The answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything is 42.

6. CHRISTMAS IS ALMOST HERE ARE YOU EXCITED!????? (And if you don't celebrate is there anything you're excited about?)

I'm excited to have a day off and get paid for it. This year the day will be spent doing mostly nothing since family will be out of town. Next year will probably be a bit more exciting!
