Ottawa Lynx press conference

[ctoland102 59]

1. Have you been watching the last week of the NHL? Who's your favourite team?

 

-- Buffalo as always, once they're done I focus on the AHL playoffs, their affiliate Rochester has been doing pretty well this season. Hopefully they go all the way!

 

2. Do you have a favourite sports player? Any sport

 

-- My favorite, non-hockey, sports player would have to be either John Daly(golf)  or Pete Weber(bowling), both guys have traits that make them entertaining to watch.

 

3. How did you react to the trade bringing in @Chillybro's player?

 

-- Its always fun to get new players. 

 

4. Did you think the team was going to make any more moves?

 

-- They may I'm not too sure though. I think we've got a good group and I don't recall hearing anyone wanting to move.

 

5. If you could choose a sound to be played in the arena when your player steps on the ice what would it be?

6. Have you ever thought of recruiting anyone to the league? There's a TPE incentive incase you didn't know.

 

-- I don't really communicate with people that would really participate like they should in something like this.

1. Yes! It has been crazy. I didn't think my Islanders would get in, but then we clinched 3rd in the metro! Insane!!!

2. I enjoy watching Jason Belmonte bowl. Just watching how calm and collected he is while under a lot of pressure is inspiring.

3. I think it is great! We need some more firepower and it will work out in our favor.

4. I think my answer would be no with how well the team has been doing. I believe messing up the chemistry would be detrimental.

5.  This is an odd question, but I'd probably go with Mario saying, "Let's a-go!". It'd be a funny thing to hear in a serious game.

6. I've tried to recruit people but my immediate circle isn't into hockey and I don't think they would want to do this type of work every week. Sorry

1. I think if we can keep the ball rolling, we will do well in playoffs. We just have to stay focused.

2. I think my player did alright. Nothing special, unfortunately.

3. I hope we win the Founders Cup. For runner-up, I'd have to say Saskatoon.

4. I have! I just went to a Vegas Golden Knights game back in March. I've been to a few Isles games too.

5. Halo 3. That was my jam every day after school.

6. I think our key to success was staying together as a team. We have a great group of players and just sticking with it really pays off.

1. I think I did okay. Nothing spectacular. Hopefully I can change that in the 2nd round.

2. Yes I have. I was rooting for my Islanders, but it wasn't meant to be

3. I'd say it was an enjoyable regular season. It was nice to be apart of the group in the discord. I'd say just waiting for sims in the morning.

4. One thing I'd change would be that my player would be a bigger part of the scoring. My player was very hot and cold.

5. I only use dark mode. This goes for everything I use. If there's an option to switch, I do it.

6. VHL used to and I sorta used it once in a while. I'd say it's not really needed since it's all forum based.

5.  Dark mode only.

 

6. I think it would be a good idea but I'm not sure the logistics of getting that up and working as well as the forums do.

[jacobcarson877 2,571]

1) It was fun! I am proud to say I'm no longer an Ottawa hater. Very close to winning a championship, and was nice to play with some players I'm sure will make a big impact in the VHL!

2) I claimed a decent amount from the last VHL Draft as a Podcast. I've been doing long PTs for those multi-week claims and then just writing about whatever I feel like, and answering Press Conferences for fun!

3) Train, train, train! The VHLE is a tough league and I want to do great in my short stay! Should be at 400 TPE next week so should be able to bank for the season again!

4) I'll be honest the league is in pretty desperate need for people in AGM roles, WJC GM roles, JST GM roles, and feeding into the VHLM, VHLE and VHL as GMs. So many people that have a job have many, myself included, and not everyone should be balancing that much. The GMing part is surprisingly simple. VHLM GMing and JST GMing are a bit time intensive, and really rewards being online a lot, but a little effort goes a long way in the other leagues, there isn't always something to immediately do.

5) I'll be doing a European tour of the VHLE cities just to get a feel for all of them!

6) 11!

2. Did you get drafted to any other leagues or was the VHLM your first draft?

3. Do you have any questions for me?

4. What do you think the most important position in hockey is?

5. How do you think the Lynx could improve?

6. Do you think we'll be as good as last season with 50 wins again?

[TenIQ 23]

1. How do you think our team is looking after the recent draft?

I think due to the smaller draft this season, it is much harder to gather up a full team, however Ottowa played the draft very well and we have a very strong lineup.

 

2. Did you get drafted to any other leagues or was the VHLM your first draft?

I have not been drafted to any other leagues yet, I am slowly working on my TPE upgrades

 

3. Do you have any questions for me?

Not at the moment however I will definitely message you if I do!

 

4. What do you think the most important position in hockey is?

I believe forwards are the most important, Goaltenders and defender's help an insane amount, however you would likely not be able to even score without Forwards.

 

5. How do you think the Lynx could improve?

I think with improvements on the defensive line we can stop other teams from managing to get through our line and scoring goals.

 

6. Do you think we'll be as good as last season with 50 wins again?

I hope so! I think the Ottowa Lynx are one of the strongest teams in the league, only challenged by Miami and Saskatoon.

 

[ctoland102 59]

 

1. How do you think our team is looking after the recent draft?

-- Good mix of newer guys and strong returning players. Lots of room for growth and good overall potential.

2. Did you get drafted to any other leagues or was the VHLM your first draft?

-- For my first season I was only picked up by the Bulls. Last season I was drafted by the Preds, and the Express in the E.

3. Do you have any questions for me?

-- How do you think this season will go for the Lynx?

4. What do you think the most important position in hockey is?

-- Defense, you can have the best offense in the world but if you don't have any D behind them you're not gonna do so well.

5. How do you think the Lynx could improve?

-- Goalies got some work to do to have  a solid build. Obviously being newer this is to be expected.

6. Do you think we'll be as good as last season with 50 wins again?

-- I'd love to see it. There's potential.

[Anthique 225]

1. How do you think our team is looking after the recent draft?

Now that I'm the team, we are looking way better hahaha!

 

2. Did you get drafted to any other leagues or was the VHLM your first draft?

With this player, first draft. Probably gonna go to the VHLE next season and will be drafted in that league and the VHL.

 

3. Do you have any questions for me?

Humm for now not really, maybe later in the season!

 

4. What do you think the most important position in hockey is?

A center that is doing everything on the ice (offense, defense, faceoffs, physical, skating), and having great leadership.

 

5. How do you think the Lynx could improve?

A bit more offensive? We don't help our goalie that much, but we can't score either.

 

6. Do you think we'll be as good as last season with 50 wins again?

Humm with the start we have, not sure. We gonna have to wake up.

2. If your player wasn't into hockey, what else would they be doing?

Working in bank!

 

3. Do you think the VHLM should implement a Hall of Fame?

No, players don't have a long career habitually, and those who have one do it on purpose so no glory in that.

The M in is America, so Québec or Montréal.

 

5. What would you name your new VHLM team?

ANSWER 3 QUESTIONS FOR 1 TPE, 6 QUESTIONS FOR 2

 

1. There have recently been discussions about teams being unfair with some having 4 players while others have 10+, can you think of any solutions to help this?

2. Would you rather go to an amusment park or a water park?

3. Whats going to happen with your player next season?
4. Do you think Ottawa is going to make any trades before the trade deadline?

5. If a new league was to be added to the VHL, what do you think it would be called and where would it be?
6. How does your player celebrate a goal?

[TenIQ 23]

1. There have recently been discussions about teams being unfair with some having 4 players while others have 10+, can you think of any solutions to help this?

 

Have a system that favors smaller teams in the draft and with contracts. On top of that think about removing the VHLE or shrink it down, we no longer have a player base to reasonably have 3 leagues with so many teams. I also think bringing in a thing like ricer said with a Soft/Hard cap using the same caps the M and E already have.

 

2. Would you rather go to an amusment park or a water park?

Water park, my best friend and I used to love going to the local water park, the one in Chincoteague. Brings back great memories 

 

3. Whats going to happen with your player next season?

I am hopeful I can move up to the VHLE or advance my player enough to be one of the best Goaltenders in the M by the end of S96.

 

4. Do you think Ottawa is going to make any trades before the trade deadline?

I don't think so, it would be hard to get rid of both players and draft picks, I think it would be best to wait the season out and push full force S96. Of course work damage control for this season.

 

5. If a new league was to be added to the VHL, what do you think it would be called and where would it be?

I am hopeful it doesn't, however if a league got added I think it would be the VHLAS, and it would be a post season league for the best players of the VHL. The VHL All Stars.

 

6. How does your player celebrate a goal?

As a Goaltender, Everytime I score a goal I get really mad at myself, cause I likely scored it on myself. So not much of a celebration.
