 Toronto Legion Press Conference 

(2 TPE for answering all six questions)

 

1. We're 4-5-1 on the season with 9 points, sitting in 6th place in the division. Is this a slow start that will balance out as we move forward, or something that is concerning?

 

2. The colder weather is starting to come, what is your favourite hot beverage to feel all warm and toasty?

 

3. Who is the biggest surprise team so far early in the VHL season?

 

4. What is your comfort tv show to watch?

 

5. Are you a believer in importance of process or results? Ex. We outshot DC 59-32 and lost 4-3, should we be worried about the loss result, or should we be encouraged that we outshot them so handily and were unlucky to lose?

 

6. What is your favourite breakfast to eat?

6. What is your favourite breakfast to eat?

 

1. It might be a rough start but I think we can turn it around. 

 

2. I love coffee any time of the year! but I do enjoy hot chocolates more in fall/winter

 

3. I know they were strong last season as well but Moscow with 9wins and 1 loss 

 

4. Trailer park boys or old survivormans 

 

5. I think we should be encouraged by the amount of shots we have taken. Every shot has a chance of getting in. Every shot you don't take will never make it in. Goalies can have hot games and win it to themselves no matter how hard we may try. We can put on the best effort of career but still be overshadowed by a hot goalie. We just can't stop, we got to keep putting pucks on nets!

 

6. Classic  Extra Bacon, 2 eggs, homefries, fresh tomatoes and toast!

[MSouthworth 128]

1. We're 4-5-1 on the season with 9 points, sitting in 6th place in the division. Is this a slow start that will balance out as we move forward, or something that is concerning? Na, we are too good.  We are just making people think they have it easy.  When the games start to count is when we will start to turn it on.

 

2. The colder weather is starting to come, what is your favorite hot beverage to feel all warm and toasty?  I don't like hot beverages but if I had to I would go with Hot Chocolate

 

3. Who is the biggest surprise team so far early in the VHL season? Gul Dukat is near the top for scoring in the team.  Enough with the scoring!! More hits! More blocks!!

 

4. What is your comfort tv show to watch?  I don't even know anymore, all we watch is shows that our toddler watches.  I guess Curious George, its nice and calming.

 

5. Are you a believer in importance of process or results? Ex. We outshot DC 59-32 and lost 4-3, should we be worried about the loss result, or should we be encouraged that we outshot them so handily and were unlucky to lose? Process, when you follow the process the results will come.

 

6. What is your favourite breakfast to eat? Breakfast in the US is nothing but sweet garbage, I go to a place that offers lunch or dinner for breakfast.

[BOOM 8,809]

1. We're 4-5-1 on the season with 9 points, sitting in 6th place in the division. Is this a slow start that will balance out as we move forward, or something that is concerning?

 

I think you guys will be fine and that record will improve as the season progresses.

 

2. The colder weather is starting to come, what is your favourite hot beverage to feel all warm and toasty?

 

I make a mix of Medium roast, instant chocolate powder and caramel syrup. There's probably a name for that, but I don't know what it is.

 

3. Who is the biggest surprise team so far early in the VHL season?

 

The mighty Calgary Wranglers have started well, hopefully we don't suck now I've said that.

 

4. What is your comfort tv show to watch?

 

Not so much comfort, but currently re-watching Mr Inbetween again. The dark humor and decent acting is worth it.

 

5. Are you a believer in importance of process or results? Ex. We outshot DC 59-32 and lost 4-3, should we be worried about the loss result, or should we be encouraged that we outshot them so handily and were unlucky to lose?

 

With the utter randomness of STHS, those kind of results will happen regularly. I think be encouraged by the 50+ shots and hopefully your luck evens out.

 

6. What is your favourite breakfast to eat?

 

A six pack of Molson Canadien with a vodka chaser.

2. What is your favourite kind of soup?

 

3. You come down the ice on a breakaway, what's your go to move to beat the goalie?

 

4. What costume would you pick to wear for Halloween?

6. What do you dip your french fries into?

 

1. Sorta feels like how we started last season, slow start just to end up first in our conference. If it's not gonna follow the same script, we just gotta keep pushing cause we have the players needed to make said push.

 

2. Tomato(or Cream of Mushroom if I don't have Tomato)

 

3. Pass backwards like Blake Comeau did in 2017 with the Avalanche while playing against the Jets... kidding. Probably attempt to do a between the legs shot.

 

4. Broke College Student, that way I already have everything.

 

5. I'm not that good with team names, but probably something along the line of Skyscrapers due to the many that occupy the Toronto area.

 

6. Depends what I'm having them with:

Fish: Tartar Sauce
Chicken: Ketchup
Nothing: Ketchup/Gravy

2. Blankman! Or steel(Shaq)! Lol realistically Hulk or wolverine 

3. Definitely an early riser.

4. PC to 70 right away!

5. Fritos hoops first and Pretzels last

6. I could keep myself busy and not worry about it but honestly I'd be thinking of the internet

[BOOM 8,809]

1. We're 17-16-5 heading into the week before the deadline. What should our approach be this week?

 

Congrats on the good standard of play so far. My only advice is feel free to win every game this week, except if you are playing the Wranglers.

 

2. Who is your favourite superhero?

 

I don't know if he's a superhero, but Deadpool. His humor aligns with mine.

 

3. Are you an early riser or a night owl?

 

Night owl for sure. I need to stay up in order to get tired. I sleep poorly anyway, so I might as well stay awake.

 

4. If you had to restart your players career right now with 100 TPE, what attribute would you build up first?

 

Leadership. If I only had 100 TPE it wouldn't matter anyway LOL.

 

5. In a bag of Munchies (Doritos, Cheetos, Rold Gold Pretzels, Fritos Hoops) which chip are you eating first and which are you eating last?

 

Cheetos at #1 but WTF is a Fritos Hoop?

 

6. How long could you go without using the internet?

 

I'll try right now. Nope...about 3 seconds seems to be the answer.

They're Fritos, but in a smaller ring shape like you took a Frito and rolled it up.

3. Night owl. Theres nobody around to bother me

4. OV for sure. I wouldnt change much about my player

5. First is probably the hoops last is probably a mix of the doritos and pretzels

6. I dont care about the internet as long as i have music so probably a while

1. It's a bittersweet time in Toronto, as our General Manager has announced his retirement from the front office after a decade of building up a strong contender, all while creating a locker room atmosphere of fun and loyalty that led to many players spending their entire careers in Toronto. How special is what he has built here with the Legion, and what is the most important part of his legacy for you as a player?

 

2. If you curl up with a good book, how long are you staying cozy and reading?

 

3. The trade deadline has come and gone, and we said goodbye to long time Legion defender Bobby Bob to send him on a quest to win one more Continental Cup in Calgary. What has Bobby meant to this organization as a fixture on the blueline for the past 7 and a half seasons?

 

4. Rank the original Skittles flavours from 1-5: Grape, Lemon, Lime, Orange, Strawberry.

 

5. With us being 15 points out of a playoff spot with 18 games left, what should our focus be for the rest of the season?

 

6. Are you good with leftovers for food?

[Oddpurplefly 153]

1. He sure helped build quite a dynasty and makes me feel proud to be part of the this team after how successful we were. 

 

2. I don't like reading unless it's sports articles

 

3. He was a solid quarterback for us. He never failed to give his all for the team.

 

4. I haven't had skittles in probably 10 years so I don't remember 

 

5. We got to focus on showing up every like it's our last. Time to show character and show what we are made of. 

 

6. I always make extra to have leftovers so I'd say yes

1. Barring a miracle, we're set to miss the playoffs for the first time since S89. What areas do we need to improve in on the roster next season to ensure that it doesn't happen again?

 

2. If you had to pick music from a specific decade to listen to for the rest of your life, what decade would it be?

 

3. What are you most and least happiest about your player's individual season this year?

 

4. Which NHL team's start to the season has been most surprising in your opinion?

 

5. If you could change one thing in the VHL, what would it be and why?

 

6. Would you say that you are more left-brained or right-brained?

[Oddpurplefly 153]

1. Not sure and it depending on who will leave and stay. I think adding defensive minded players would give us a bit of help because I think we struggled a bit on the PK this season

2. 80s without a doubt

3. I'm happy overall with my player. I guess a little more defense wouldn't hurt since I am -21

4. Winnipeg's onto a hot start 

5. Adding more ways to earn TPE

6. Right brain I think

[BOOM 8,809]

1. Barring a miracle, we're set to miss the playoffs for the first time since S89. What areas do we need to improve in on the roster next season to ensure that it doesn't happen again?

 

You should have thrown Calgary a third round pick for Dassler....they would of gladly accepted.

 

2. If you had to pick music from a specific decade to listen to for the rest of your life, what decade would it be?

 

I'd barely call some of the current "hits" music, so I'd go back to something like the 90's.

 

3. What are you most and least happiest about your player's individual season this year?

 

Least happy about point totals and most happy about an increase in hitting, although still very low.

 

4. Which NHL team's start to the season has been most surprising in your opinion?

 

Oh, the NHL has started?

 

5. If you could change one thing in the VHL, what would it be and why?

 

I don't get paid enough TPE to make sensible suggestions such as allowing boob posts.

 

6. Would you say that you are more left-brained or right-brained?

 

Neither. I'd suggest that I'm more brain damaged.

(2 TPE for answering all six questions)

 

1. Who is going to win the Continental Cup in the Finals, Vancouver or Davos?

 

2. What would be the coolest video game to get dropped directly into and play?

 

3. Do you think that we should have more ways to earn TPE in the VHL, or do we need to keep the cap on earning as there currently is?

 

4. Will the Minnesota Wild (and their players) get more deserved attention now that they're leading the NHL in points?

 

5. What is the most important position for us to add in the upcoming VHL Draft?

 

6. Which movie has your favourite twist ending? (Don't reveal the twist)

[Oddpurplefly 153]

1. I think Davos but it's going to be a good series. Could go either way

2. DayZ even if I'd probably get killed right away

3. I wouldn't mind keeping the Cap earning but add several different ways of earning

4. I think they should especially after acquiring Jiricek

5. Probably a D but anything to help us build a competitive team again

6. Interstellar. I don't know if I'd call it a twist but definitely intriguing

1. First PC as GM, so that's fun! Have you had a chance to check out the new games additions to the Legion Discord? Which one is your favourite so far?

 

2. Are you a hat wearer? If so, do you have a favourite go-to hat, and what is it?

 

3. We've already added a new defender to the mix for next season, do we use up the rest of the cap space trying to improve now, or do we save the space for an in-season trade?

 

4. What is a music hot take that you have?

 

5. Did you join the off-season Pro-Am tournament? If so, have you been drafted already, and by who?

 

6. Which flavour of Kraft Dinner is the best?

[Oddpurplefly 153]

1. I've played all of them. I do a lot of counting but also love the puckdoku

2. I never really wear hats. I have a indiana jones cowboy hat that's real felt that I wear. If not I do wear bandanas

3. I mean if we can build strong in the off season, why not? But keeping cap space for the deadline might also be important depending on how the team is doing

4. Finnish people have mastered metal

5. I did join and waiting to be drafted.. at this rate we should be done by Christmas

6. I've only had original
