Toronto Legion Weekly Presser

[BOOM 8,759]

1. The end of an era is quickly approaching... thoughts? 

 

Like others said, if this is about Hextall, then yes it's a sad time for the legion right now. I've only had this season with him in net, but he's awesome.

2. Juice and BOOM have a little bit of a bromance going on... let's be honest, what games do you think they're playing when not at the rink? 

 

We enjoy "Crisco Twister" 

3. Who among the Legion has the best puns? 

 

Let's be honest. Everyone except Peace. I have banned him from attempting humor in the LR.

4. What are some of your favorite pranks to play on your teammates? 

 

I refuse to prank my teammates, as it can create an atmosphere of negativity and anger. That's not what the Social Club is all about.

5. Who is the easiest target to prank? 

 

From my observations, probably myself. 

6. On a scale of one to 'hold me tightly'... how was your valentines day? 

 

That's a little personal don't you think?  I'm not going to reveal what happened, but if you really demand an answer, ask Juice.

1. Somewhat. Once both of my teams were eliminated, it becomes harder to care.

2. Should be really fun! I hope we do well! Or don't! Whichever is the better outcome for us!

3. 3rd overall

4. Planting beanstalks

5. Waffles. Pancakes become to cloying after a bit. 

6. Blueberries!

1. Nope! But I think I will now that you mention it. See how my rivals are doing.

 

2. ehh, it's a thing we must do, just hoping for the best.

 

3. top 5 would be nice, I'm just gonna say 5.

 

4. Playing video games, watching videos, talking with friends, dirt biking or quading, or snowmobile. You get the idea.

 

5. I love both but to prefer pancakes just a little more.

 

6. Nothing really, just syrup and whip cream.

[osens 297]

1. Have you been following the VHL or VHLM playoffs? 
Nope, just been busy with personal life.
2. What do you think about the upcoming lotto tournament? 
I haven't heard about it and I don't worry about it much.
3. Where do you predict Toronto will draft? 
No idea, someone with more experience will tell more accurate.
4. What are some of your favorite offseason activities? 
Nothing, just want to get the ball rolling.
5. Food time: Pancakes or Waffles, you have to choose one or the other. 

Neither. But if I have to choose probably pancakes with some fillings.

6. What kind of ingredients to you add to it?

I LOVE pancakes with banana and chocolate.

[BOOM 8,759]

Have you been following the VHL or VHLM playoffs? 

 

Nope, unfortunately. I maintain an interest in the final result of course, but it's too painful to watch.

2. What do you think about the upcoming lotto tournament? 

 

It's an interesting concept, but I'm only checking the Legion's results. I guess it's something for those not participating in playoffs.

3. Where do you predict Toronto will draft? 

 

I'm not the greatest at replying to these kinds of questions. Unless we trade the pick or something, 5?

4. What are some of your favorite offseason activities? 

 

Drowning my sorrows in alcohol, watching TV and deciding who will be my mortal enemy for next season.

5. Food time: Pancakes or Waffles, you have to choose one or the other. 

 

Waffles I guess. They hold maple syrup better.

 

6. What kind of ingredients to you add to it?

 

None. I just drown it in maple syrup, preferably from Maine.

[Smarch 3,157]

1. Have you been following the VHL or VHLM playoffs? 

 

I actually looked at the conference finals game seven, which was the first playoff game I have viewed. Ain't nobody got time for that!

2. What do you think about the upcoming lotto tournament? 

 

Well I wasn't looking forward to it for sure, and now that it has happened it was even worse going from a possible third to now sixth. Yikes!

3. Where do you predict Toronto will draft? 

 

I predict the next time Toronto drafts in the first round will be the S79 OR S80 first round. So I predict we will see Toronto pick in the Fourth Round in the S77 Entry draft. 

4. What are some of your favorite offseason activities? 

 

Getting some me time in with the family. 

5. Food time: Pancakes or Waffles, you have to choose one or the other. 

 

Pancakes

 

6. What kind of ingredients to you add to it?

 

Vinegar to the milk and let sour for 3-5 minutes

[Peace 1,534]

Howdy, Legion! Another PC for you guys to answer if you need it.

1. Warsaw - Chicago finals is tied 1-1 currently, who do you predict to win it all this season? 

2. Did the draft lottery go as you expected? 

3. Did you pay attention to the draft lottery tournament at all? If so... how well did you perform against your expectations? 

4. It's been a long off season for us... how have you kept yourself engaged in the sim league? 

5. Another food question... pasta or pizza? 

6. What kind of pasta/pizza... and what do you add to them?

1. Warsaw - Chicago finals is tied 1-1 currently, who do you predict to win it all this season? 
I am gonna go with Warsaw. With Lamb up front and Krishna in net, I like their chances. 

2. Did the draft lottery go as you expected?

Sadly, yes more or less. At least for our part it did. Didn't see Los Angeles moving up to the 1 spot, but oh well.

3. Did you pay attention to the draft lottery tournament at all? If so... how well did you perform against your expectations? 
My performance was average and definitely could have been better. Nice to see Welch step up and have a big tourney though!

4. It's been a long off season for us... how have you kept yourself engaged in the sim league? 
I'll be honest, I have had a hard time staying engaged with VHL the last few weeks. I think most of it is because I am back to working full time and my free time has gone down significantly. But no need for alarm

5. Another food question... pasta or pizza? 
As an obese man, I love both of these things. But at the end of the day I gotta go with pizza.  In fact I just ordered one, poggers.

 

6. What kind of pasta/pizza... and what do you add to them?

I normally and a pepperoni and extra cheese kinda guy. But variations are good. I like meat lovers, and although I hate mushrooms, a deluxe is also good. If you put pineapple on your pizza you are a degenerate fuck and probably should just off yourself.  As for pasta.. spaghetti with meat sauce is good. Chicken carbonara is good, lasagna  is good. I like pesto alfredo too. Pasta is pretty dope.

3. I did not, tbh can't say I care much for those games ^^''

 

4. Just been checking on the lr a lot, keep a look out for good articles and media spots to.

[osens 297]

1. Warsaw - Chicago finals is tied 1-1 currently, who do you predict to win it all this season? 
 I predict that Chicago will win it.
2. Did the draft lottery go as you expected? 
Not many thoughts about the lottery, I am afraid.

Nope, did not pay any attention to it. I only care about real season!

Really hard and I am just waiting for summer when I will be able to get more free time,

Pizza Pasta!
6. What kind of pasta/pizza... and what do you add to them?

1. I wish it was Warsaw. I had the opportunity to develop Ajay Krishna and I want him to win it all!

2. Nope, but thats okay!

3. I did, and The Giant played great!

4. I haven't and that's something that I'm starting to rectify.

5. Pizza for sure!

6. Pineapple, ham, onion, banana pepper, and bacon!

[BOOM 8,759]

1. Warsaw - Chicago finals is tied 1-1 currently, who do you predict to win it all this season? 

 

I think Chicago takes the prize over the Predators. Too much class where it matters.

2. Did the draft lottery go as you expected? 

 

Yeah, pretty much. By actually trying to do well, unlike some other teams, we cemented our spot in the upcoming draft.

3. Did you pay attention to the draft lottery tournament at all? If so... how well did you perform against your expectations? 

 

I checked the results after each sim but to be completely honest, I didn't really check the individual player stats.

4. It's been a long off season for us... how have you kept yourself engaged in the sim league? 

 

It's been a struggle for me since the regular season ended and we were relegated to bystanders. I've been trying to stay interested, with varying degrees of success.

5. Another food question... pasta or pizza? 

 

Pizza usually. Just quicker and easier to be honest.

6. What kind of pasta/pizza... and what do you add to them? 

 

It varies but I like chicken, bacon and four cheese. I'm sure it's low calories......

1. The S77 VHL Entry Draft is approaching... will you be paying attention? 

2. What do you think about the management and leadership movement on the sim lately? (GMs retiring/leaving, Beaviss' resignation, etc)

3. Are you participating in the World Cup? 

4. What is your favorite thing about the off season?

[fromtheinside 1,290]

1. The S77 VHL Entry Draft is approaching... will you be paying attention? 
Yes, we have the 6th pick, so I am intrigued to see who we are going to take. Hopefully we can add a good piece to the team.

2. What do you think about the management and leadership movement on the sim lately? (GMs retiring/leaving, Beaviss' resignation, etc)
It's been a crazy couple of weeks in VHL. Certainly there has been alot of turnover, it kind of seems like a changing of the guard type of thing. The new GMs that have been promoted are certainly good choices and I am happy for them.

3. Are you participating in the World Cup? 
Yes I am on Western Europe, led by the one and only Jiggs. We have quite the team, I am excited to see how we do.

4. What is your favorite thing about the off season? 
When it's over and we start playing games again. I hate the offseason, it makes people complacent and sometimes it drags on too long. 

5. What are you expecting from Toronto in S77? 
I think it's pretty simple.Playoffs. We have a great squad in place and I think we are ready to make the leap to be a postseason team.

6. What are your individual aspirations for S77? 

I'd like to finish the season with 60 points and be a + player in plus/minus.

1. not too much besides Torontos 6th overall pick. I think that's going to be a huge pick.

2. I think it's cool to see so many new GMs stepping up, like how @Spartanis moving on to moscow.

3. I'm not entirely sure, I would like to but I don't see myself being chosen.

4. This is my second ever offseason with the team, but I feel like the locker room banter is nice to read.

5. I expect us to shock the hockey world, I mean we're getting some pretty decent players next season.

6. I think I'll just shoot for 100 points. Double this seasons and get the league talking about me again.

1. Yes, I do find some enjoyment in the live streams and where players go.

 

2. It's kinda sad to seem them step down/leave but new blood is good to.

 

3.Yes! Let's go team Canada!!

 

4. Nothing really, just down time that has to happen.

 

5. Playoffs!!

 

6. .917 save percentage or higher and a GAA under 3.00.

[Smarch 3,157]

1. The S77 VHL Entry Draft is approaching... will you be paying attention? 

 

Yes I hope to watch. I know it's Friday and I have a VHL alumni supposed to be at my place, so who knows if we will get around to actually taking it in. Hoping for exciting results at number six. 

2. What do you think about the management and leadership movement on the sim lately? (GMs retiring/leaving, Beaviss' resignation, etc)

 

It is interesting. Gives new blood in the room, not that it was necessarily needed, but who knows what will come of it

3. Are you participating in the World Cup? 

 

Yes I am U.S.A baby! We didn't start so hot, but its all about that finish. 

4. What is your favorite thing about the off season? 

 

Nothing, its boring as all fuck

5. What are you expecting from Toronto in S77?

 

Playoffs, number one. If we don't make the playoffs with our current roster in the North American Conference, then I would say its a bad year. After that anything can happen in the playoffs.  

6. What are your individual aspirations for S77? 

 

I want to be a top five player in my position and a top three player on the Legion. I am one of the higher TPE players and its time to put up in year four. 

[Juice 641]

1. The S77 VHL Entry Draft is approaching... will you be paying attention? 

I had some personal close attention to the draft as I was Malmo's AGM for less than a week which meant I did a lot of first-hand scouting before I headed off to the Yukon Rush. There's a lot of sleeper picks in this draft, specifically in the mid to late second round that I'll be interested to see where they land

2. What do you think about the management and leadership movement on the sim lately? (GMs retiring/leaving, Beaviss' resignation, etc)

Quite insane to see such a shift in the VHL landscape, specifically with Beaviss going on hiatus as honestly everytime I looked in VHL #general he was there so his impact leaving will be felt. I'm glad to see some first-gens getting the opportunity for GM spots but it is a bit shocking to see some people I'd say really deserve a GM shot that have been here for awhile not getting the nod.

3. Are you participating in the World Cup? 
Yup! Well, in a certain way. Although my player isn't good enough as of yet, I got hired as Team World's AGM under dlamb and helped discuss creating the roster. Although we had a pretty good team, we ultimately didn't get past the quarter-finals

4. What is your favorite thing about the off season? 
The off-season is quite rough tbh, it really feels like an irl off-season with everyone kind of taking a break of sorts but now with the draft upon us the locker-room is piping back up again which is great! The only favourite thing I have is prepping for the draft as I got to do a lot of pre-draft scouting for the first time and I enjoyed that a lot.

5. What are you expecting from Toronto in S77? 
I'm expecting us to be a LOT more competitive with our defensive core coming back insanely stronger. Like we talked about in the locker-room, anything less than the playoffs is a disappointment.

6. What are your individual aspirations for S77? 

I want to really show off my offensive capabilities. I'm maxed out on defense now and I have my scoring pretty much set for the time being until I upgrade my puck handling and skating some more, so I think I have my player build closer to the range I want it to be in so I'm hoping for a really good sophomore campaign of 50+ points and a lot better +/-

[osens 297]

1. The S77 VHL Entry Draft is approaching... will you be paying attention? 

No, gonna be busy doing other more important stuff, but I know it will be stressful time for some rookies.

2. What do you think about the management and leadership movement on the sim lately? (GMs retiring/leaving, Beaviss' resignation, etc)

I haven't really kept up but I am just happy that Peace is still our GM!

3. Are you participating in the World Cup? 
I had a chance, but I respectfully declined so other more deserving players can get in the team.
4. What is your favorite thing about the off season? 
Nothing, it's plain and boring
5. What are you expecting from Toronto in S77? 
The cup and nothing else!
6. What are your individual aspirations for S77? 

Cup and nothing else! Joking, of course I want to get as many points as possible.

Okay... here we go again! 

1. Another week in the off season... is there anything I can do to keep you entertained? 

2. I'm running out of questions for the off season, so I'm going to start asking random ones... what is your favorite game genre? 

3. What about your favorite music genre? 

4. What about movies? 

5. Favorite snack to munch on while watching a movie/playing a game?

 

6. Do you crank your music loud, or do you listen to it at a reasonable volume?

[fromtheinside 1,290]

1. Another week in the off season... is there anything I can do to keep you entertained? 

 

Nothing you can personally do lol. But I think our LR has collectively been great lately, there's always good dialogue happening, so that's a plus.

2. I'm running out of questions for the off season, so I'm going to start asking random ones... what is your favorite game genre? 
 

I grew up being a big RPG guy. And I obviously love my sports games...it's almost time for MLB The Show to come out so I am pumped about that.  I am not a huge shooter guy anymore, I am dogshit at them so I avoid them lol. The past 10 years or so  I've gotten really into to basebuilding/world building games like Civilization or Stellaris. And Ive started playing alot of trashy mobile gacha games too sadly lmao.

3. What about your favorite music genre? 
 

Simply put, rock. Classic rock, hard rock, alternative, metal... it's all good. I also like alot of non-current rap. Stuff rom the 90s to the late 2000s. Not that mumble rap shit they make now though.  Even pop is okay, I just don't like country music. 

4. What about movies? 
 

I think I've kinda turned more towards watching TV series over movies because I love the long, slow-burning plots and character development. But that being said, I like a good variety of movies.  Fiction, docs, crime,  space themed stuff. lots 

5. Favorite snack to munch on while watching a movie/playing a game?

 

Chips are solid. Jalapeno Cheddar Doritos are my go-to

 

6. Do you crank your music loud, or do you listen to it at a reasonable volume?

 

 Well typically I would listen to my music loud, but I've lived in an apartment for about 6 years now, so I've learned to keep it to a reasonable level to respect the people in my building.

[BOOM 8,759]

1. Another week in the off season... is there anything I can do to keep you entertained? 

 

It's not your responsibility to stave off our boredom induced riots. It will be over soon and the Legion can be unleashed.

2. I'm running out of questions for the off season, so I'm going to start asking random ones... what is your favorite game genre? 

 

I don't get much time to game these days, but for a while I was into RPG's and most of the EA Sports catalog. 

3. What about your favorite music genre? 

 

Himalayan Hip-hop and Eastern Lithuanian Chanting are my current go to styles. Waiting for the next hardcore spoken word Vanilla Ice covers to drop.

4. What about movies? 

 

I actually don't have a favorite genre as far as movies. There's very little lately that I'd even want to see to be honest.

5. Favorite snack to munch on while watching a movie/playing a game?

 

Anything from my favorite Wuhan wet market.

 

6. Do you crank your music loud, or do you listen to it at a reasonable volume?

 

It depends on who's around, or if I have the chance to turn it up. I'm actually quite considerate of others.
