[Quik 4,113]

1) The season is starting this week!  What is your player's goal for this upcoming season?

I like to set lofty goals, so my biggest goal for this season is to play in a game AND win it!

 

2) What is your go-to meal when attending a hockey game?

Who tf eats a meal at a hockey game? If we're playing this weird game of having a meal at a game, gimme a Kobe A5 ribeye and some mashed potatoes.

 

3) What is your LEAST favorite stadium in the VHL to play in?

New York...fuck.

 

4) Which of the 3 leagues needs to expand or contract to facilitate SO many players the league has now?

Delete the VHLM and VHLE. Expand the VHL and just have everyone play in one league. Has the added benefit of removing all these bloated commish positions, too!

 

5) Who is the GRUMPIEST VHL GM?

@Victor isn't a GM anymore, so I'll go with his protege in @Spartan . He learned from the best, so I can't imagine anyone's better in that department now.

 

6) Why is Thad?

Why is Thad? That's a good question. Perhaps a better one is: Who is Thad? What is Thad? Where is Thad? When is Thad? Or best yet: How is Thad? That last one's the most important, so he can feel free to answer whenever he sees fit @thadthrasher

For having lost 5 finals, I'm arguably a bit too happy about still being in this role. I'd point the finger at @hedgehog337 tbh

Thad is good, only because Quik wanted to know. Thad says, "Thank you, Quik."

I went to a golf course today and there were a TON of flowers, but it is June, I cannot speak for May.

As someone who walks for a living, I'd probably go cold and dry, I prefer walking round in extra layers to "Oh god I'm literally melting" with only one.

The fact that this isn't currently the case is an absolute disgrace.

1. In honesty, not really. Being .500 for most of the season didn’t exactly bode well going in. It was a nice surprise.

 

2. YaBoi Oven, probably. A defenseman that high seems likely to go first.

 

3. Not sure on the specifics, but more defensemen would be nice.

 

4. Just building up my TPE and rounding myself out.

 

5. I wasn’t there for long with him but I k recognize his great impact on the franchise.

 

6. Well there’s no fun in it if I tell you now is there?

[Trazan 131]

 NEW YORK AMERICANS OFFSEASON PRESS CONFERENCE 

 

1. The Americans surprised the Bears in the first round of the playoffs. Did you expect the team to pull the upset?

I must say i had my eyes more on  the E so i had a very loose understanding of how the season went in the big leagues but no i thought it was too steep of a mountain to climb, but super cool that you guys did it

 

2. The VHL draft is right around the corner, who do you think goes 1st overall?

I have no clue whos even eligible, let me take a look.....

Well, i think its pretty obvius Yaboi Oven is going first

 

 

3. Is there a particular prospect you would like the Americans to select in this draft?

looking at what we have in the pipeline i think we maybe need D-prospects but it looks pretty thin around 13 (going of  tpe only)

i would probably go King Kisslinger or Jarmo Ruutu 

 

4. What are you working on during the offseason?

Passing and puckhandling.

 

5. @frescoelmo has recently stepped down from his role as NYA AGM. Say something nice about him.

Don't really know him but Elmo is a cool name

 

6. Thad decided to hire McWolf to replace Fresco. How do you think we should haze him?

Get him drunk and have him record a podcast setting up the lines and do a mock draft for us :')

2. Are you excited by the addition of Xiver Zilla and WWWWWWWW to the team's prospect pool? Do you know anything about them?

3. How do stay motivated throughout a rebuild process?

4. Vegas put our over/under at 20.5 wins. Do you think we win more than that?

5. What's one aspect of your game you wish you were better at?

6. If hockey was like baseball and you could choose a walkup song that would play in the arena everytime you enter the action, what song would it be and why? 

[Lucas anton 24]

1. Yes I’m a bit surprised with that decision as I was in the return back from them and I will have to be here longer to think about the direction.

2. No I do not and it’s always good to get prospects

3. I believe you have to go in with the mindset it will get better and we can get to a championship level one day

1. I was a little surprised, but I trust management and think that this is a move that will benefit us in the long term

2. Yes, its always good to add to the prospect pool. It seems like we got two studs, one forward and one goalie. Im excited!

3. Just gotta put your head down and grind. We realize this is a necessary step if we want to be contenders in a few years so that is the motivation 

4. Yes we will win exactly 21 games this year

5. I think just scoring more goals. I havent had the goal scoring output I had hoped for.

6. Enter Sandman!
