After his PR team yelled at him for 2 weeks, he's agreed to do another one. Ask about all things Rush, or the promising rookie career of rookie Titans' Center.

1. Is this question leading me to an answer? Obviously I'm mostly excited for Ryan, he's got the full toolset to be a star defenseman in the VHL, but first the VHLM. He's one of the rookies really showing they belong in the VHLM, and I'm very excited I traded up to take him. I'm also pretty excited about Theo Gauthier, who's a veteran coming back for the first time in a while.

2. My VHL draft was an interesting night for sure. I actually was late to the party and missed myself getting drafted, but Higgins actually wrote the wrong name when he meant to take me. Was definitely a thrill to be taken by a team with so much history.

3. Jack Shepard, he's a guy who's been there, and is a veteran presence in the locker room. If in a few seasons I end up anything like that guy, I know I'll be on my way to a great career.

typical Shawn asking me 10 questions......

1. I was very excited with Yukon's draft. There were a few times where a player I wanted fell very far to me, both Theo and Ryan, and a couple times where players were taken right before I would've otherwise taken them. It actually turns out that I got a good player in Nick Ward because of one of these.

2. I hope that I can bring the honor and pride that the Titans have been bringing season to season for the last 10 seasons pretty much. I wanna play a strong forward, and help this team through what looks like a rebuild season.

3. My offseason training has been pretty great, in fact I've been happy to break the 200 TPE mark pretty recently. I'm excited to show all of the VHL GMs who passed on me what they're missing, and chase the ROY.

4. Well, since we've only got one, I'd say Sidney. He was far and away filling this team's biggest need of another top 4 defenseman, and he seems to be very active. He's racking up TPE, and making us all regret passing on him. 

5. Honestly, I really think the Rush are in a position to make a push for the Founder's cup. Last year no one expected Oslo to win, now no one expects Ottawa to lose, I'd watch out for us. 

6. Sorry Shawn, but Ottawa probably did the best job. Was able to nab a lot of guys who are going to be real active players in the future of the VHL. We hardly ever see this many first timers, so it really mattered who did their homework, and Ottawa did. 

7. I know you'll call me biassed, but I think Ryan @Enorama is going to make a huge splash in the VHL for seasons to come. He's got some great TPE whoring down already, and he's really doing a good job of keeping up his pace. 

8. Right now, the Rush could really use a proven goalie, and another defenseman. We probably can get my with what we have now, but a little more depth would be useful.

9. I would say any season is possible, but probably s65 is when we'll really start making a run at it. Watch for me to be the MVP then ;).

10. *gulp* it might be the Titans, but I'll just say RIGAAAAAA bc why not. Riga is overrated anyway.

1. The WJC was a blast, and I wish I could've been a part of it again. Unfortunately, the real world got in the way a little bit. Go figure that working 50 hours a week makes it harder to get VHL time in than just unemployment.

2. I'm very happy with how Montgomery and the Titans played this season. The Borwinn/Monty combo is going to be a menace in the VHL for a long time, though I did miss the Mulligan connection.

3. Obviously I'm very proud of the boys in Helsinki for how we played this year, though a little disappointed we missed the playoffs by the slimmest of margins. Hopefully we can pull it through next year.

4. Yukon sweeps here, easy enough right? No, never easy enough, Yukon over 21st in 6 games.

5. How about we just predict like, Bears over Meute, you'd like that wouldn't you? Realistically, I imagine that Riga is gonna do something crazy, as playoff sims tend to be insane.

6. You didn't ask but I wanted the extra full tpe.... So being selected to the awards committee was a big honor, and I'm thankful to Victor for giving me a shot on it. I look forward to being a new voice in the crowd, and selecting myself for everything  the right guy to win the award

1. If I remember correctly, Barzal used to live with Seidenberg and his family for a while when taking his first steps in NHL, would you let a rookie player stay with you if opportunity to do something like that comes knocking?

2. What is your opinion on players who can´t shoot the puck?

3. You had 85 points in 72 games this year, happy on that number?

4. What it´s like to be the captain for Helsinki Titans?

5. From the teams that made the playoffs this year, who is your least favorite?
