New York Americans Press Conference Questions

[Quik 4,113]

1). Moscow made it to the cup finals - are you surprised how they handled Warsaw?

I will have to go with no, I literally paid 0 attention to the league this season. I don't even know how Bezos did tbh lol

 

2). Who is your favorite Sesame Street character?

Used to be cookie monster, because, who tf doesn't love cookies? But as I get older, I relate a lot more to Oscar the grouch.

 

3). Have you owned skates before?  What brand?

Many pairs. When I was a kid, I think I wore Eastons and I had a pair of Missions at one point, but I've had Grafs for the last 20+ years now (fuck me, I just realized my last pair of skates are like 15 years old now and Graf is no longer in existence)

 

4). What song are you not afraid to sing in the car at 11/10 effort?

I mean, I'm not afraid to sing any song at 11/10 effort, but if I'm choosing one unabashed single to belt? Gotta be A Thousand Miles, exactly the way Terry Crews sings it in White Chicks.

 

5). Do you remember your first shotgun of a beer?  How was it?

No, probably about as good as you'd expect.

 

6). Do you own a record player?  Would you use it if someone gave you one?

I do not, but would definitely use it if someone also gave me an amp to hook it up to my system lol.

6). When is @Blazzer evolving from a Bulbasaur?

 

 

1. Incredibly... Imagine trading for your own player or your AGMs player @Ben mclaughlin

 

2. Honestly Calgary big moves coming from that team.

 

3. Alright so I don't know the jardy stats besides old but I know my stats. 5'11'' 185lbs. I'm not incredibly strong but I'm quick and have good speed. Let's assume this is a street fight and anything goes. These old people can't get down low anymore on account of there awful knees. So I go low and force him down taking probably a few back of the head and neck punches as I either push him into the wall or floor. Then once that position I continue to push his legs up until the fight is over. I'm not throwing punches because I know I don't know how to punch. My best bet is to cause maximum physical harm.

 

4. Hot take almond joys are criminally underrated.

 

5. Not a huge fan of white. I have one white shirt that I wear as undershirts but no other white shirts or clothes.

 

6. We may never know, but the continuous roll is concerning.

4: anything with chocolate in it, but i love kit-kats.

5: lime green, because it’s so bright and steals the center of attention.

1). How do the new threads look on @McWolf?

New threads? I wore the stripped Star Spangled jersey before you were even born, son. For real though, I'm happy to be back. Blame @BarzalGoat if I do bad.

2). What was the most surprising off-season move so far?

I wasn't expecting London to replace me with a goaltender, but good for the, really. Necessary upgrade if you ask me, and I honestly think they're better off with him than if I had extended. Legit proud of @Dil.

 

10 minutes ago, frescoelmo said:

3). Have we shown @InstantRockstar enough love for his amazing goalie?

I just met the guy, but I did tell him he looked good last season. I mean I did score on him a couple times in the past, but I score on everyone, he's no worse.

 

12 minutes ago, frescoelmo said:

4). Did you watch the draft stream?  What would you change about it?

I have not. I haven't caught a draft in a couple seasons actually, but I trust Esso, Eno and company did a stellar job like they usually do.

 

13 minutes ago, frescoelmo said:

5). Have you ever eaten octopus before?

I have had fried squid rings, or fried calamari, not sure what the correct appellation is. Also not sure if it actually counts as octopus. But I liked it. Kind of thing I like buying as an entrée.

6). What would your theme song be when skating onto the ice?

The intro riff of White Walls by Between the Buried and Me, on the album Colors. Album is my namesake, one of my favourites of all-time.

[Quik 4,113]

1). How do the new threads look on @McWolf?

What the fuck, McWolf's an American? I remember the last time he ended up on New York (or at least the first time lol), so I think they probably look great on him, if not a little tattered by this point?

 

2). What was the most surprising off-season move so far?

Me being traded in the E, but I've already griped about it hahah

 

3). Have we shown @InstantRockstar enough love for his amazing goalie?

Too much love, he's gotta make way for the young blood for fuck's sake!

 

4). Did you watch the draft stream?  What would you change about it?

I did not. Everything and nothing, because I've never once actually watched a draft stream.

 

5). Have you ever eaten octopus before?

Yes, it's fucking delicious. Unless you mean in the way that the Deep would? In which case...also yes

 

6). What would your theme song be when skating onto the ice?

Something about money, or burning down rainforests, or union busting? Basically some kind of villain theme song.

 NEW YORK AMERICANS NEW SEASON BUGALOO VOL 86 PRESS CONFERENCE 

For Week-Ending of November 19, 2022

 

1). New season starts this week!  What personally are you looking most forward to with your player?

2). Do you think New York will do better or worse (record-wise) than Season 85?

3). What team statistic do you think New York will do surprisingly well in?

4). Is there a trend your player has had in their career so far that you are hoping changes in Season 86?

5). Who is New York's primary rival?

6). Should @thadthrasher grow a mustache?

[KnightRiley 72]

1. maybe/actually gettin him some more tp this season

2. we can only go up hopefully

3. i think well score more

4. honestly not too sure, more consistent i guess

5.  ourselves, this year be the year for play off

6. only of it curls

that isn't fun

[scoop 3,416]

1). New season starts this week!  What personally are you looking most forward to with your player?

Scoring my 300th career goal. I only need 57 to get it done!

 

2). Do you think New York will do better or worse (record-wise) than Season 85?

Looking at how I would rate our roster particularly compared to the rest of North America, I think we have a good chance to improve upon last season's record. Granted, I though we would have done a bit better last season.

 

3). What team statistic do you think New York will do surprisingly well in?

Goals scored. Certainly if the expectation is that we are as poor as we were last season. I think the roster changes will be for the better as far as goal scoring is concerned.

 

4). Is there a trend your player has had in their career so far that you are hoping changes in Season 86?

The trend of Mourning's career is that my performance stayed relatively similar from my odd-numbered season to the following even-numbered season. So my first and second seasons were very similar; my third and fourth seasons were very similar; my fifth and sixth seasons were very similar. I absolutely hope that trend does not continue, because last season was my worst since S80 and I would hate to have a similar year in S86.

 

5). Who is New York's primary rival?

To be honest, it's hard to have a rival when you have been consistently bad for so long. I guess maybe Los Angeles, but only because they have been the next worst after New York in the time that they've been in the league. Plus we had the exact same record as them last season, but because they had the head-to-head advantage, they ended New York's five season "6th in NA" streak.

 

6). Should @thadthrasher grow a mustache?

No. Unless he wants to then sure. I don't care.

[Sen 47]

1. I'm very excited to making my VHL debut, had we had the old attribute system I reckon I would've won ROTY easily, and perhaps even MVP.

2. I'm not entirely sure, but you got Mann who is an assist focused player, and if you give him playing time with the top scorer on the team, then we'll do better.

3. Goals, Mann is assist focused as you've read, and quite elite in it already. With that in mind it's safe to say there'll be an improvement.
4. Not really, I have had a great career so far and I think I can't really improve in any stat.
5. I don't pay enough attention to the VHL teams, so maybe the team we're rivals with is our geographical rival of Toronto. 
6. Mustache's are sources to power, all great hockey players have one, unless they don't. In that case, they are no longer the best players in hockey history. Lanny McDonald is the best player in Hockey history now, and if Thad wants to take it he must grow a mustache.

[Quik 4,113]

1). New season starts this week!  What personally are you looking most forward to with your player?

Be better than last season. As a capped goalie, don't see any reason why this bum shouldn't put up better numbers than last season.

 

2). Do you think New York will do better or worse (record-wise) than Season 85?

It's looking like a tight race. I'll be positive and say I believe in you guys to do better this season.

 

3). What team statistic do you think New York will do surprisingly well in?

Memes/60. It's a fun group in New York, and I think they can keep the bus short!

 

4). Is there a trend your player has had in their career so far that you are hoping changes in Season 86?

Hasn't won a championship yet, so that'd be cool.

 

5). Who is New York's primary rival?

New York. Nobody can beat New York like New York can beat New York!

 

6). Should @thadthrasher grow a mustache?

Can Thad grow a moustache? If yes, then hells yeah grow the fuck out of one. If not, the hells yeah, fake-grow the fuck out of one.

 NEW YORK AMERICANS COMPARING THE TEAM TO LAST SEASON(S) PRESS CONFERENCE 

For Week-Ending of December 10, 2022

 

Give your reasoning for the following questions below!

1). New York is on pace to pass their 'goals for' total in S85 and S84

2). New York is on pace to fall short of their 'goals against' total in S85

3). New York is on pace to have the same amount of points by seasons end as S85

4). Sven @BarzalGoat is on pace to obliterate his point total from S85

5). Jared Carter the 2st already broke New York's PIM leader from S85

6). Augustus Kennedy is likely to pass his 'shots against' total from S85

[Quik 4,113]

1). How is your player doing so far this season?

Pretty good, setting up to be a decent VHL back up lol

 

2). What are you providing in this year's VHL Charity Auction?

There will not, and never has been, a VHL Charity Auction item provided by Quik

 

3). As of this post, NY is 3 points out of 3rd, are you surprised?

Surprised that they're that close, or surprised that they're not in 3rd? What kind of question is this?

 

4). What does the team need to do most to get over the hump?

Scoring more goals than the other team would be a good start, give the goalies some support damn it!

 

5). What is your favorite Christmas/holiday vacation you've been on?

I think I went on a New Year's vacation one time in High School? Might've been a fever dream, tbh. That was kind of fun. Going to be in Mexico for my birthday/Cinco next year, so I'm pretty excited for that one.

 

6). What is your favorite Christmas/holiday movie?

Being a 90s kid, I really like The Santa Clause, and Jingle All the Way. Always wanted a Turbo Man action figure (not a doll!)

1. Maximus is the most likely to succeed, with a name like that how can you not.
2. Jared Carter the 2st, with his name it just cracks me up.
3. Hockley Mann, avoid the fact I earn very little TPE, but with my name, you have to let me be the commish

4. She'll only marry other celebrities, so Napoleon Dynamite.

5. Hockley Mann, I still protest the name and request a name change to the New York North Americans though.

6. Augustus Kennedy, honestly I'd put myself but I already put myself twice and don't want to be egotisical

 NEW YORK AMERICANS NEW NEW SZN PRESS CONFERENCE 

For Week-Ending of January 21, 2023

 

1) A lot of big changes the past week!  What surprised you the most?

2) Who is now likely the points leader on the roster in S87?

3) What music are you hoping New York incorporates for practices this year?

4) Favorite pre-game meal?

5) New York will have alternate jerseys this season; what's your pitch?

6) Did you follow any of the drafts live?  What were your thoughts on the presentation?

[Quik 4,113]

1) A lot of big changes the past week!  What surprised you the most?

I...uh...hmmmmmm...I'll say that I'm most surprised gas went up $0.20/L over a 4 day span last week. That was pretty shocking, since it was holding at ~$1.30/L for a while.

 

2) Who is now likely the points leader on the roster in S87?

I'm going to go with Leduc, unless we can get someone to change their name to Pedro then I wouldn't bet against Napoleon exploding.

 

3) What music are you hoping New York incorporates for practices this year?

Give me some mother fucking ragtime when we hit the ice!

 

4) Favorite pre-game meal?

As a goalie, who will be getting maybe 15-20 games this season, gotta say my pre-game meals will include a lot of beer and chicken wings. Ain't nobody going to be knocking Aug out of games.

 

5) New York will have alternate jerseys this season; what's your pitch?

Gimme backwards trucker hat wearing Raybans selfie in a pick up truck guy as the most American mascot there is. Bonus points if you can stitch in a "Don't tread on me" phrase somewhere in there.

 

6) Did you follow any of the drafts live?  What were your thoughts on the presentation?

I did not, but I do follow Draft Kings, and did you know you can make live sports bets during the action, right up to the final whistle? Hockey, basketball, football, the opportunities are endless (and so are the fucking commercials)

1. Lunar New Year and LEMORSE IS HERE! Big draft too I feel, we did what we could and i hope we do well 

2. Alexandre Leduc, the new player we got from the trade. He's far ahead in TPE and is well developed too

3. Honestly a new team jingle  

4. Nuggets, a fish burger and water

5. Please don't make it have stripes. I don't wanna look like I am in jail

6. I had the chance to draft in the M as I am the GM for Vegas. It was pretty small, weaker draft class than before. It was difficult honestly to get the desired results but we were going for a rebuild sorta draft and I am pretty happy.
