(2 TPE for answering all six questions)

 

1. How are you feeling about the start to the season, both for your player individually and the team overall?

 

2. The weather has finally started to turn for the better in my neck of the woods, and it has me thinking about outdoor cooking. Do you like to BBQ, and if you do, what's your go-to food to do on the Q?

 

3. Any big surprises around the league on the standings board for you, or has it been what you expected so far?

 

4. If you get all comfy cozy on the couch with a blanket, how long does it take for you to doze off, regardless of whether you're doing something or not.

 

5. Would you shuffle the deck with lines and strategies as was initially planned at the start of the season, or let it ride right now until the hot start slows?

 

6. As promised to some folks, I said that I would have a question about @LucyXpher on here, so here goes! Have you come across Lucy in your travels on here yet? In roles such as Malmo Nighthawks GM, the Halifax 21st GM, head of the VSN, player Lucy Leitner, the Marbles enthusiast, or others, Lucy has been involved in many different areas of the VHL the last few seasons. If you have, feel free to say something nice about Lucy here! If you haven't yet, reach out and say hi, Lucy is an awesome person!

1. Player had a slow start but picking up steam

2. I use my BBQ all winter but my go to is a nice t bone steak

3. I'm surprised by our team being first in our conference for now

4. I have to be really tired in order to sleep anywhere but my bed

5. I would let it ride for now. I think the team is putting up a great effort as it is right now. But I do expect to hit a few bumps along the way, so I think then would be the time to shuffle

6. @LucyXpher Is a big part of the reason why I'm still in the league after a less than impressive beginning. She helped and guided me as soon as she drafted me in the 5th round of the VHLM draft. For that I am very thankful. ( I was a steal for Halifax and now proving to be a steal for Toronto! ) Played for her 2 seasons in Halifax then I was her AGM for just a bit over a season and I think that is when she started going crazy with trades .

1 - So far so good, as long as we don't face D.C. for whatever reason.

2 - I don't BBQ often, but when I do, I like slicing potatoes and onions, adding butter, salt, and garlic powder, then putting them in a foil wrap.

3 - Us losing to DC twice

4 - I'm inconsistent. 3 minutes to 4 hours.

5 - Leave it for now, but use my suggestions if/when we falter

6 - Not really, but Lucy seems cool.

1. Pretty good! 3rd in rookie scoring and Riga is in 4th so can't complain just yet.

2. Steak or burgers on the BBQ, chicken breast is also way better on the Q.  It's warming up a bit here but winter is far from over.

3. Surprised Riga is where we are considering our double loss start of the season.  Also surprised Vancouver is struggling.

4. Depends on how active I was before hand.  If its post hike im out pretty quickly.

5. Let is ride until a losing streak develops, otherwise there is no reason to change things for the sake of it while the going is good.

6. Lucy is doing so much for the league right now and im thorogouhly impressed with the level she has taken VSN to.  Amazing content, and the team seems more active and engaged than ever!

1. What aspect of our hot start to the season have you been most impressed with?

 

2. If you could pick one X-Men character's powers to have, who would it be?

 

3. What do we need to sacrifice to Simon to finally beat DC?

 

4. What is your favourite comedy movie to watch when you need a pick me up?

 

5. Should the VHL be adding more ways to be able to earn cash for your player? At the moment, you can only earn with contracts (including bonuses) and donations.

 

6. What's your favourite flavour of gum?

[Oddpurplefly 229]

1. Our consistent effort

2. Professor X. The mind control without magneto's helmet is probably overpowered 

3. Most likely would have to sell our souls.

4. That's tough. I would say movies with Jim carey, will ferrell, mike myers or chris farley. For quick pick me up youtube, I really enjoy Norm Macdonald 

5. Yes! Definitely! Mini games for capped or even uncapped TPE too would be nice. 

6. Wrigley's doublemint has been my favorite since I was little.

6. What's your favourite flavour of gum?

 

1) The consistency for sure.

2) I was always a big Gambit fan, but it's gotta be Nightcrawler

3) A dragon, obviously 

4) BASEketball for sure. So stupid lol

5) absolutely,  or else drop the cost of things 

6) I don't have gum often so I guess mint

1. The goaltending!!

 

2. Probably Storm, she's pretty freaking cool!

3. Everyone's first born child.

 

4. I don't watch many comedy movies, probably bed time Stories?

 

5. I'm fine with how it is now personally.

 

6. Bubble gum

(2 TPE for answering all six questions)

 

1. With the trade deadline just a week away now, what should we be looking to add to our roster for the playoff push?

 

2. Which version of Batman is your favourite?

 

3. Toby Kadachi is leading the VHL in hits by a fair margin (next closest is 28 hits back). How important is it to have someone who can help set the tone physically for the games?

 

4. Almost every team in the NHL is under the 10 games remaining mark for the regular season, so the stretch drive for the playoffs is officially on. Are any teams who are currently outside of a playoff spot going to make it in?

 

5. How big do you think that the S100 VHL Draft class will be with the re-create date coming up next week?

 

6. If aliens invaded Earth, and you had to pick one skill that you have to show them how to do something as well as possible, what skill would it be?

1. That's tough. I feel we have a very well balanced lineup. 

2. Christian Bale and fav. joker is Heath Ledger.

3. I feel like every team needs someone like him . Someone who can deliver hits is a constant threat. If you have the puck and see him coming, you might try to pass early and try to avoid the hit but end up missing your pass.. or you try to go through and get knocked hard. 

4. I have my fingers crossed for Montreal but right now they are in the playoffs by 1 point

5. I have high hopes for an epic S100 draft class.

6. Probably starting a fire lol

1. Hard to say, I feel like we're a pretty good all around team, maybe an upgrade on the blue line? Really not sure.

 

2. Probably Bale Batman, I've seen those ones the most.

 

3. Very important I think, if they wanna mess with anyone they gotta go through Kadachi first.

 

4. I could see the Rangers making it over Montreal but that's the only one.

 

5. Very big by the looks of it. Possibly the biggest.

 

6. Cooking lol

[der meister 3,389]

1 - stay the course

2 - no idea. The batman who laughs?

3 - super important. Causing puck separation is huge

4 - I'm a sabres fan. The playoffs haven't been an option since November. 

5 - stupid big. Like 4 rounds deep of viable players. Stock up.

6 - putting on velcro shoes

1. Pretty quiet trade deadline in the VHL this season, what do you think is the cause of that?

 

2. Do you deal much with seasonal allergies? If so, how annoying are they?

 

3. We're currently 5 points up in the NA Conference for first place, having 74 points with 21 games left in the regular season. How many points are we going to need to pick up the rest of the way to finish first in the Conference?

 

4. When you see actors/actresses that you've seen in other movies/shows in something new, do you have a difficult time seeing them as anybody other than what you know them from previously?

 

5. Re-create season is here, and it looks like there are already quite a few players that will be coming into the league soon. What is the best name of a re-create that you've seen so far?

 

6. Do you like seasoning and/or butter on top of popcorn? If so, what kind of seasoning do you like?

1. I think the gms didn't want to give too much especially picks for the s100 class.

2. I'm lucky to not have any seasonal allergies. Only thing I'm aware to be allergic to is poison ivy.

3. If we keep doing what we are doing,  we will be in good shape.

4. Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Some actors. Some actors always stay in the same movie style and seeing them in a different kind of movie throws me off because it's not what they are known for. Sometimes it works for, sometimes it doesn't 

5. I haven't really checked out the names yet but will in the next few days while the list grows

6. Classic butter is always good but I do enjoy dill pickle seasoning.

6. Do you like seasoning and/or butter on top of popcorn? If so, what kind of seasoning do you like?

 

1 - I think Dorji nailed it - S100 picks are too precious to GMs to give up. Plus, it's almost always quiet. 

2 - Yes. They are awful. And my family is doing something of a self-imposed austerity budget, so I'm trying to make due without OTC meds.

3 - Not sure how many we need, but I know how many we're gonna get - 42.

4 - Generally not, though I do think, "Oh yeah, I should rewatch {blank}". Like when I see Gandalf, I think "It's been a long time since I watched the X Men movies."

5 - I'm in win-now mode so I haven't paid any attention. Nice to see GooningItUp back though. He's good people.

6 - I'm flexible on this. butter and salt is obvious, but we've done nutritional yeast, parmesan, garlic powder, cinnamon and sugar, oregano, chili powder. Just depends on the mood.

1. Not many sellers I guess? Not sure

 

2. I do not.

 

3. 30-ish probably?

 

4. Only if I've known them as a certain character for a long time, like Iron Man/Robert Downey Jr, Captain Jack Sparrow/Johnny Depp, and of course Pierce Brosnan as James Bond.

 

5. The Milkman.

 

6. Butter layered, lots of butter!!
