Halifax 21st Press Conference

[Steve 1,925]

1.) How do you get fired up going into a game?

      I just focus and go through the game plan in my head. I am always ready to go.

 

2.) Something funny I should know about you as a player as your new AGM?

     I think I could be his father, but I don't want to tell him that just yet.

 

3.) How do you think we finish off the regular season?

     I think we will finish a solid 3rd. We have been playing really well lately.

 

4.) What is the craziest thing a puck bunny has ever done for your attention?

      Well that one is easy. I was skating by the glass and this cute young thing was waving her thong at me. She was very good at making breakfast I may add.

 

5.) What color hockey tape do you use?

      I'm a black tape kinda player and I don't see myself changing to make any sort of statement.

 

6.) Who is the weirdest Player in our locker room?

     That would be, I really don't want to name a team mate weird, but he is a goalie and leave it at that.

[fonziGG 1,068]

1.) There's a 50/50 chance of a 20 foot python who hasn't eaten in five months in the hallway. Out of everyone in the locker room who is going out first?

@Steve seems the type to go out first.

2.) How do you get fired up going into a game?

I honestly just knock out some yoga and meditation. Finish it up with watching this clip 100 times

4.) How do you think we finish off the regular season?

I have a feeling we'll be 3rd or 4th. Not any lower!

5.) What is the most bizarre question you have been asked in a press conference during your career and who asked it?

Which curry do I eat before a game and it came from @Acydburn. More of a locker room question though.

6.) What is the craziest thing a puck bunny has ever done for your attention?

Tig ol Bitties were out and she had a sign saying, "pls sign bobs Michael"

8.) Who is the weirdest Player in our locker room?

It's a tie between me @Acydburn and @Saelven88

1. probably acyd because he is willing to give up a lot for us and he is a strong player in the lr

2. by drinking purple gatorade

3. is my player even funny? 

4. I think we can make the jump into the top 3 because our younger guys are going to keep growing

5. question 1... umm Acyd

7. I use the good one, the black one

[Boheem 6]

1.) There's a 50/50 chance of a 20 foot python who hasn't eaten in five months in the hallway. Out of everyone in the locker room who is going out first?

 

So first AGM Acyd Burn and then left winger Acyd Burn.

 

2.) How do you get fired up going into a game?

 

I do a lot of meth.

 

3.) Something funny I should know about you as a player as your new AGM?

 

I like to do a lot of meth. Care to join?

 

4.) How do you think we finish off the regular season?

 

With a party for da bois huehuehuehue.

 

5.) What is the most bizarre question you have been asked in a press conference during your career and who asked it?

 

Yours and you.

 

8.) Who is the weirdest Player in our locker room?

 

Me.

[CowboyinAmerica 2,891]

1.) There's a 50/50 chance of a 20 foot python who hasn't eaten in five months in the hallway. Out of everyone in the locker room who is going out first?

That's a trick question, because you'd think it would be someone like Gaudette wanting the star treatment and taking initiative. In reality, let's just say Papa Gage's checking and strength may have something to say about it first.

 

2.) How do you get fired up going into a game?

Literal fire. Put some hot coals on the ground, take your skates off, and walk barefoot across, revival preacher style. When you can do that, you can do anything.

 

3.) Something funny I should know about you as a player as your new AGM?

No. There is absolutely nothing funny about me, just your normal down-to-earth, likes to walk across hot coals, once killed a man in South London guy. You probably shouldn't look too far into it.

 

4.) How do you think we finish off the regular season?

Third seems reasonable, though there's some tough games against Ottawa ahead. Still, hopefully I'm able to help out and get the team at least one playoff position before it's all over.

 

6.) What is the craziest thing a puck bunny has ever done for your attention?

Remember that girl who took her top off and pressed up against the glass at the Caps' Stanley Cup? Same thing when I was playing a game in Sweden - except her bottoms. She was flexible though, I'll give her that.

 

7.) What color hockey tape do you use?

Red. I like to consider myself a bullfighter out there, and unsuspecting forwards are the bulls. They see red, go in for the forecheck and... nope. I'm out of the way, you're off balance, and I'm on a fast break.

[Acydburn 1,607]

1- If you could ask your Gm any Question what would you ask Him?

2- Are you coming back to the VHLM to play a victory lap? Why or Why not?

3- You are Hungry after a Game where are you going? What did you Order?

4- What VHLM team you would like to see lose the cup and why?

5- What VHLM team you would like to see win the cup and why?

6-  If you got stuck in an elevator and were forced to listen to one song for the next five hours, what song would it be? 

7- If you could live anywhere, where would it be?

8- How do you relax after a hard days work?

[Steve 1,925]

1- If you could ask your Gm any Question what would you ask Him?
     I would ask him what areas in my game I could improve to help the team.

 

2- Are you coming back to the VHLM to play a victory lap? Why or Why not?
     It's a bit early to think about that right now. There is just too much to concentrate on going into the playoffs.

 

3- What VHLM team you would like to see lose the cup and why?
     Every team we face in the playoffs because we are  focused on winning the cup.

 

4- What VHLM team you would like to see win the cup and why?
     Halifax of course. What a stupid question.

 

5-  If you got stuck in an elevator and were forced to listen to one song for the next five hours, what song would it be? 
      Easy, Toccata and Fugue in D minor

.

8- How do you relax after a hard days work?
     I do most of my relaxing at work so I am well rested when I get home. Takes years of training to learn how to do that and look like you are productive.

[fonziGG 1,068]

1- If you could ask your Gm any Question what would you ask Him?

Are you going to miss me after this season?

 

2- Are you coming back to the VHLM to play a victory lap? Why or Why not?

Most likely not, due to TPE rules and me having to go up.

 

3- You are Hungry after a Game where are you going? What did you Order?

Going to The Keg for a nice medium steak with veggies. Gotta celebrate in order!

 

4- What VHLM team you would like to see lose the cup and why?

TBH I'd like all of them to lose, but if I had to choose... It would have to be Philli

 

5- What VHLM team you would like to see win the cup and why?

Halli cause we're such a well built team.

 

6-  If you got stuck in an elevator and were forced to listen to one song for the next five hours, what song would it be?

8- How do you relax after a hard days work?

1. I would just ask him about the VHL

2. sadly no bcoz im already above 200

3. I'll probably just order subway, it good.

4. I would really love to reverse sweep on Philly or Ottawa, one of the big boys to show all those analytics people that we're here to stay

5. Is this even a question, obviously Halifax bcoz I know how many great players have played here in the past and I would love to the first team to lift the Founder's Cup in our short history

7. I would love to live in Malmo obviously bcoz its in my home country, I'm actually from Karlstad which is a ton smaller

3 - Either some Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza or some Pad Thai

4 - I want to see Mexico City lose the cup, I don't appreciate teams that think they need to cheat to get ahead.

1. Should I stay or should I go?

2. Want to stay but probably will go.

3. Would like to stay in but usually go out

6. Should I stay or should I go

7. Would probably stay in same area but could go elsewhere

8. Usually stay at home but sometimes will go out

[CowboyinAmerica 2,891]

1- If you could ask your Gm any Question what would you ask Him?

Why is Him capitalized? Are you God? Oh shit, you're God, aren't you? There are so many questions to ask. What is the meaning of life? Why are we here? If you put a KFC double down inside a KFC double down, would it be a quadruple down? Alas, I'll never receive the answers to these pressing questions.

 

2- Are you coming back to the VHLM to play a victory lap? Why or Why not?

Well, I don't have much of a choice in the matter given that I'm a S68 draftee, but sure, you can call it a victory lap. VHLM GMs with high draft picks, you can catch me on my mobile.

 

3- You are Hungry after a Game where are you going? What did you Order?

I went to KFC, and tried to order a quadruple down. They had no idea what I was talking about, and even if they had guessed, it probably would be a legal liability to give me one. And the pressing questions of our age live on...

 

4- What VHLM team you would like to see lose the cup and why?

None of them. In my perfect world, we'd all live in harmony and be able to share the cup, all for one and one for all. Achieve hockey league peace is one of my main goals, and I think it's achievable in my lifetime.

 

5- What VHLM team you would like to see win the cup and why?

Halifax. Fuck everybody else.

 

6-  If you got stuck in an elevator and were forced to listen to one song for the next five hours, what song would it be? 

I would go with "This is the Song That Never Ends." Look, I'm pretty losing oxygen after five hours anyway, and there's a high chance that I'm already going to go crazy. Speeding up the process seems like a net win, quite frankly, because I'll forget where I was after the first half hour.

1 what’s your favourite type of cars and or skates... 2 idk what this is but I guess so... 3 I’d go to dons (McDonald’s) id order like enough for today and for tomorrow (enough for me to eat today and than enough to bring for me and my teammates to eat at practice the next day) which would all be Big Macs and basically just Big Mac meals... 4 ummm idk this one I guess every other team other than the 21st... 5 21st cuz we started from the bottom now we here (whole team grinded their a**es off for this moment)... 6 idk probably homicide by Eminem and logic... 7 Halifax because it’s beautiful their and I love this team...8 I take a nice long time in the shower and than I pray than I go and eat than I go and play some video games or go to sleep...

1 ours because we the best the 21st r the best. 

2  ours the 21st logo is the best because the 21st r just the best.

3 a salior like a bear or something with a captains hat from a boat.

5 we usually go and do the 3 stars than talk about the game with the coaches (even if it’s a win).

6 go and bounce off another player than not fall than jump over another player and than score and the celebration was the really best part... he did a backflip and at the same time he through his stick up and than caught it I’m mid air (Blake gaudette did that).

7 I usually do a lot theirs to many to count for this category but the weirdest one is with my feet when the team trainers r checking to see if the ankles healing well or not and the 2nd weirdest is to see about my collarbone to see if it’s healed or not to. 

8 get better and to win the VHLM championship and to get to the VHL and to help my team get better and to help them win.

9 probably blake or axelson... most likely my boy Blake tho he’s my team mate that I mostly talk to other than acyd.

1. What is the best VHLM Logo, why?
     Halifax has the best logo, because that's my team.

2. What is the best VHL logo, why?
     Any VHL team that I go to will have the best logo.

3. What would you pick as Halifax's mascot?
     A Sardine of course.

     I like to losen up my team mates by playing the good ol "Pull my finger" joke on them.

10. Worst topping for a pizza?

 

 

1. Halifax cause I need to represent the team!

2. Bring in Fin from the Vancouver Canucks, a stud overall.

7. I spend a good 30 minutes just on forearm workouts, I specfically use the forearm wrist roller workout.

8. Top 5 in points for Defenseman in the league.

9. The Halifax goat is our GM Thranduil, he is the at the forefront of what it means to be the goat.

10. Pineapple

[CowboyinAmerica 2,891]

1. What is the best VHLM Logo, why?

I have to go with the Hounds. It's a unique name, the colors pop and would look on a jersey, and the good puppo looks fierce enough to be good at hockey but not enough to give me nightmares.

 

2. What is the best VHL logo, why?

I'll say the Dynamo, and not just because it's the last team that I won a title with. The logo looks similar to a soccer crest, which tends to be my logo style. The mountains are also a nice touch for something as abstract as "Dynamo."

 

3. What would you pick as Halifax's mascot?

I pick the Screaming Seamen. It's an historic VHLM name, I swear! (And also because Halifax is by the sea and all that junk, but come on: Screaming Seamen.)

 

8. What are your personal goals for the future?

It's all about the titles for me. And I don't mean that in a "boring sports person speech" sort of way - it's just that I've won a lot of personal awards with past players, and I find the championship races more fun because they include more people.

 

9. Who is the Halifax Goat?

Having exactly zero conception of Halifax history before this season, I'm going to go with Blake Gaudette. Naturally it's important that he's second in the VHLM in points this season, but everybody loves a growth narrative - and going from 31 points in year one in Halifax to this season instantly makes him a fan favorite.

 

10. Worst topping for a pizza?

People always pick anchovies, but that's supposed to be bad. On the flip side, is there anybody out there that really loves olives? Have olives really ever improved any single food that they've been a part of? Come on now.
