1. We have been bouncing up and down the standings, currently 8 points behind 10th place in the VHL. What place do you see us finishing in?

2. Have you checked out the massive 3-way trade that happened recently? Who won the trade?

 

3. Do you have a favourite VHLM team? Why?

4. Whether it be a VHL or NHL player, is there someone you look up to?

5. Use a GIF to describe how your player has played this season.

6. Tom Brady now has 7 rings. Is he the greatest NFL player of all time?

1. Hopefully we at least move up one spot to 9th.

2. To me it seems like Davos got the best deal.

3. Miami is my favorite VHLM team because I won a cup with them and played with them for most my VHLM career.

4. I look up to Dakota Lamb because he's the one who taught me everything there is to know about VHL and Chicken Wing definitely wouldn't have been as successful as she is, or even exist it it wasn't for him.

5. 

6. ya, probably.

3. The Mexico City Kings because they are the best.

4. I look up to Chara because he is taller than me.

5. 

6. Unfortunately, yes.

1. We seem to have Calgary's number this season, going 4-1-1 against a playoff-caliber team. What makes us step up in games vs. the Wranglers? 

2. Also, we seem to love the shootout this year, having 8 games go to the "skills competition" to decide the outcome. Do you like shootouts, or should there be an alternative way to end games?

3. FrostBeard recently revealed he would be stepping down as Malmo Nighthawks General Manager after the season. Who would you recommend take over the position?

4. VHL Theme Week just passed, centered around "vacations". Where is your favourite spot to vacation?

5. Do you have a specific pre-game meal?

6. Do you have any pets?

[thadthrasher 1,692]

1. I think it's our pure unadulterated Americanism that is fuming in our games. We scare them away very easily!

2. I love it. It's pretty exciting to see how Sales does on the shootout. I'm not sure the exact numbers, but I think he's doing fairly well there!

3. I really think @Ricer13 would be a great decision for that position. The M would certainly miss him, but he would do fantastic work in the VHL.

4. Anywhere in the woods!

5. Steak. Doesn't matter the cut. Cooked medium with some garlic, onions, thyme, and pan seared. That with some corn and mashed potatoes.

6. Yes. I have a bloodhound named Abraham and a cat named Ferdinand

6. Do you have any pets?

1. I have a great rivalry with Calgary since last season apparently, especially after last season's double beatdown by Calgary where I fought 2 times and scored a goal in a 4-1 loss.

2. Well I haven't scored once in the shootout, at least I don't I have yet haha

3. No comment, don't know people enough to give a recommendation

4. not sure, I haven't been to a place more than once

5. I thought I said Cheerio's last week? for this question?

6. no

1. playing against them just seems to bring out the best in us and hopefully we can use the same strategy to beat others and hopefully move up a few spots.

2. Yes, I think shootouts are a great way to solve a tiebreaker.

3. Anyone with experience and willing to put in the effort would be good.

4.  My favorite vacation I've been on was probably to Quebec City or Cuba, but I like going new places to vacation, and hopefully Japan can be my next destination.

5. A big platter of chicken wings!!!

6. No pets

1/ We just seem to be finding some chemistry and playing an overall better game. 
2/ I do like shootouts but I like 5v5 OT better. 
3/ I’m sure the Blues probably already know who they want. 
4/ I like going to Europe for vacations. 
5/ Preferably baked chicken and some veggies. 
6/ I have a black Labrador.

1. We just really hate them in particular.

2. I suggest we do something called the "Goalie Showdown" to decide a winner, where the two starting goalies must fight each other until there is a victor. 

3. @rory

4. My bedroom is a nice place.

5. I sneak out to the concession stand before games.

6. A guinea pig. No elaboration needed.

1. We did about as good as I thought we would. I'm sad we didn't do better, but I'm looking forward to the future!

2. I think we are going to need to build a stronger D-core, so that's what I'm thinking will happen.

3. The few that went to a shootout and Sales came in CLUTCH!

4. I've always been a goalie fan. They take a lot of flack, and are often at the point of being blamed for a team's loss. However, they are the rock behind the team, and I just like that.

5. It's a tough call. I think our rookies played well, but given our team's overall performance I fear they will be overlooked.

6. I did! It was a nice setting, but the ice was awful. I like outdoor games, but I fell bad for the players since they are trying their best on crappy ice.

1. Its kind of what I expected so I'm ok with how we ended this season

2. we need some stronger defense, so hopefully there's changes made with that.

3. not really, I think I played about the same in all our games.

4. I'm not good at hockey irl so I just picked the position I thought would be easiest if it was rl hockey lol

5. CHICKEN WING!! lol I think any of those rookies have a good chance at getting it.

6. I didn't watch the game but I think outdoor NHL games are a fun change and I definitely enjoy them.

1- I feel like we improved a little bit. 
2- Hopefully something that will help us not let up so many goals. 
3- I would think any victory would stand out most. 
4- I play this position because I love to score goals. 
5- I think maybe Red Lite has a good chance. 
6- I only watched highlights and it was a game full of scoring.

1. It's solid but it's also not 72-0-0, so we have work to do.

2. I hope just draft and FA, don't want to lose any more Americans through trade.

3. All of them stick out to me as ones where I could not have played any better.

4. Because VHL Portal says so.

5. I don't know about any trophy but that RJ Thatcher guy seems really cool and handsome.

6. As someone who doesn't follow puckball whatsoever, I actually did watch highlights for one of the games and the scenery was very cool.

4) I will pay attention when I can. No I wasn’t picked as far as I know. 
5) Rynex and Rush were the best combo in the VHL. 

6) I love summer time but spring and fall is nice also.
