Prague Phantoms Press Conference

[Tetricide 726]

 Prague Phantoms Press Conference

Week ending 16 February 2025

 

1.) Well, we tried! We didn't go down without a fight in the Wild Card series against Riga, but unfortunately didn't take any W's home. We got a little taste of playoffs! How was the experience for your player?

 

2.) Phantoms GM Kinnard has been spotted in a few other organizations offices... Could this mean we will see some improvement coming to the roster?

 

3.) Goalie Amir Redzic is coming up on his final season. Prior to Ondrej Vencko taking over as starting goalie, what was your favorite thing about Redzic on the ice?

 

4.) Now that the off-season for us has started, where has your player been spotted? The bars...casinos...the beach...the golf course?

 

5.) What is one of your favorite pastries?

 

6.) Do you carry cash in your wallet or plastic only?

1.) Well, we tried! We didn't go down without a fight in the Wild Card series against Riga, but unfortunately didn't take any W's home. We got a little taste of playoffs! How was the experience for your player?

- Well, we got further than anyone even suspected. I think we put up at least a proper show on the ice. But now, we need to solidify as a legitimate rising threat for the playoffs!!

We smelled blood. And my player adored it!

2.) Phantoms GM Kinnard has been spotted in a few other organizations offices... Could this mean we will see some improvement coming to the roster?

-Ho. Ly. Shit.

I can't believe it is happening. Was it really him? Damn. We're gonna be so back.

3.) Goalie Amir Redzic is coming up on his final season. Prior to Ondrej Vencko taking over as starting goalie, what was your favorite thing about Redzic on the ice?

- His Bosnian temper. I adore how he lets his emotions flow. When Amir reaches boiling point, it is truly an eruption of anger. However, when he has a very solid evening, his euphoric aura could feed families. He is a passionate guy.

4.) Now that the off-season for us has started, where has your player been spotted? The bars...casinos...the beach...the golf course?

- Nah, he hates golf. I am not sure, really. He hasn't been answering my calls, lately. He is probably just drinking around, though.

5.) What is one of your favorite pastries?

- For its versatility, I'd say buns. It's universal, we have many kinds of 'em, I like those.

6.) Do you carry cash in your wallet or plastic only?

- Plastic only? Didn't know you call it that. But no, I don't USUALLY carry cash around. I try to use my card as much as possible. And by not having cash, I can also send beggars in the street to fuck off without any bad feeling about lying. Hah!

 Prague Phantoms PC! Feb 23rd 

 

1. Howdy Phantoms, I'm your new AGM, Petr Pekař! How do you feel about my own addition to the Front Office?

 

2. Multiple trades find the team with a new look next season, how do you feel about the additions of Lucy Leitner @LucyXpher and Matteo Stefano @mmrs617?

 

3. With these additions there was some subtraction. We lost our prospect Dog Jagr @koty_k. Anything you want to say about what this means to you to have a solid young player on their way out, even if it means improving?

 

4. Congratulations to those moving up to the VHL this season! That list includes Brigitta Sandstrom @Acydburn and Luc Moreau @minman. If you are someone moving up, any thoughts on your upcoming rookie season? If you are returning, what kind of impact are you expecting from the youngsters in S98?

 

5. Many other teams made moves so far, any comments on what our EU Conference competitors have done so far in Davos, Malmo, and Helsinki?

 

6. Are you involved in any of the upcoming offseason tournaments either as a player or GM, if so which one and in what roles?

1. Excited to have an active AGM in place as we rebuild. Tet and you got it.
2. Exciting times. I'm still a First Gen about to play my first VHL season, so I'm looking forward to the uptrend for this team. We gave a lot but got great players back.
3. Dog Jagr was on my VHLM team - a bummer to lose him. We had a great run that Simon cut short this season.
4. I'm excited to be contributing at the "Show". Brigitta was strong as well. I'm just here to keep grinding away to get better.
5. Haven't seen much over there - I assume I'll start paying attention more now that I'm here
6. I'm helping Lucy out as AGM for the Foxes. Will be interesting be in two LRs!

1. Howdy Phantoms, I'm your new AGM, Petr Pekař! How do you feel about my own addition to the Front Office?

- Ahoj, Petře! I am very grateful to have a fellow Czech boi in the organisation!

I feel that now, things are going to be very interesting.

Hodně zdaru, vole! (I'll leave translation to your own detective abilities, hah!)

2. Multiple trades find the team with a new look next season, how do you feel about the additions of Lucy Leitner @LucyXpher and Matteo Stefano @mmrs617?

- I am super glad we acquired Matteo, he is a strong piece to go alongside the rest of our roster. @mmrs617, welcome to the team!

However..

I am SO SUPER GLAD OH MY GOD MY HEART IS RACING that we got LUCY. GODDAMN. LEITNER! @LucyXpher Welcome, welcome to the team!!

Oh my, teammates for the third time.. What a good feeling!

Now let's wreck havoc like in Houston and Västerås days!

3. With these additions there was some subtraction. We lost our prospect Dog Jagr @koty_k. Anything you want to say about what this means to you to have a solid young player on their way out, even if it means improving?

- It is saddening a bit but.. It is a win for both parties involved in the trade. But I think that we have drastically improved while not sacrificing too much.

4. Congratulations to those moving up to the VHL this season! That list includes Brigitta Sandstrom @Acydburn and Luc Moreau @minman. If you are someone moving up, any thoughts on your upcoming rookie season? If you are returning, what kind of impact are you expecting from the youngsters in S98?

- The young guns are very active!

I am super excited, as they will surely bring speed and more energy to the team.

S98 will be super fun!

5. Many other teams made moves so far, any comments on what our EU Conference competitors have done so far in Davos, Malmo, and Helsinki?

- Not really. I feel like at least moves by Malmo have been discussed a lot, lately... Yeah.

6. Are you involved in any of the upcoming offseason tournaments either as a player or GM, if so which one and in what roles?

- The ProAm!

I have participated in it several times already and it is always super fun!

I am only a player, however. I don't think I could handle being a GM or an AGM, hah.

1. Howdy Phantoms, I'm your new AGM, Petr Pekař! How do you feel about my own addition to the Front Office?

I'm very happy about it. As the first person to welcome me into the VHL, it's nice to have a familiar face on a new team.

 

2. Multiple trades find the team with a new look next season, how do you feel about the additions of Lucy Leitner @LucyXpher and Matteo Stefano @mmrs617?

I'm happy to be here. I'm excited to see what I can do. As for Lucy, she is always a good addition to any team.

 

3. With these additions there was some subtraction. We lost our prospect Dog Jagr @koty_k. Anything you want to say about what this means to you to have a solid young player on their way out, even if it means improving?

It's hard to lose prospects, but there are still lots of time to rebuild that pool.

 

4. Congratulations to those moving up to the VHL this season! That list includes Brigitta Sandstrom @Acydburn and Luc Moreau @minman. If you are someone moving up, any thoughts on your upcoming rookie season? If you are returning, what kind of impact are you expecting from the youngsters in S98?

I think they're set to have a pretty impactful first season. This is a great place for minman to build their player as there are lots of veteran VHLers. It's always a boost to have a member like Acyd on the team. They bring a lot of experience.

 

5. Many other teams made moves so far, any comments on what our EU Conference competitors have done so far in Davos, Malmo, and Helsinki?

I think things have been shaken up a bit. I feel we are set for a big improvement on last season's record and will be a challenge for those top teams.

 

6. Are you involved in any of the upcoming offseason tournaments either as a player or GM, if so which one and in what roles?

I'm not this season. I've taken a bit of a step back to focus on IRL things, but still earning to be ready for the season.
