[enigmatic 504]

1) Week two in the books and we lead the European Conference! Are you surprised to see us in this position?
I am considering all the 1-1 sims we are getting. I think our team improved a lot since last season though so us being there in itself is more or less of a surprise.

Muh bed.

Yes, traditional japanese music to get some stress out of the body.

 

4) Who has been our unsung hero thus far?
I'm not sure if he is unsung but Guillaume Fontenette has been amazing for us so far this season. Racking up points, hitting people left and right and blocking a bunch of shots.

 

5) If the guys went out for karaoke after a game would you go up and sing?
Being Japanese, it's my duty to sing karaoke.

 

6) What is your favorite movie trilogy or franchise?

That good ole home cooking, and our fans support.

[Cusemode 21]

1) Week two in the books and we lead the European Conference! Are you surprised to see us in this position?

No, I know we've been working hard to make up for our mess of a season last year, and I know Jubo's done a lot to add more depth to our roster.
2) When playing on the road what is something you miss from home?

Mr. Sub (RIP )
3) Do you like to listen to music in the locker room before games?

Yes, I have a playlist of all of Taylor Swift's songs and I blast that shit on repeat.
4) Who has been our unsung hero thus far?

Probably Jared Spaz, he was my teammate on the Reapers and I don't think he gets anywhere near the credit he deserves.
5) If the guys went out for karaoke after a game would you go up and sing?

Yes, I have a beautiful singing voice and was a soprano in my high school choir.
6) What is your favorite movie trilogy or franchise?

The dollars trilogy (The Good, the Bad and the Ugly). I think Clint Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef were fantastic in those movies.

[ThePerfectNut 563]

1) Week two in the books and we lead the European Conference! Are you surprised to see us in this position?

Not really. Not like other people, I was expecting Moscow to be way less stronger and Riga got some couple of holes in there teams. Davos are a surprising team, but our team depth and overall veterans were too good to be even considered in a non-playoff spot. I hope we can keep this up.

2) When playing on the road what is something you miss from home?

The fans cheering our team for sure. Each time.

3) Do you like to listen to music in the locker room before games?

Always. I always got my headphones with me with bangers.

4) Who has been our unsung hero thus far?

MJ stole a couple of games like he usually does.

5) If the guys went out for karaoke after a game would you go up and sing?

I do not like to sing in front of people lol

6) What is your favorite movie trilogy or franchise?

Money Ball is a good baseball movie

No, not at all. We made some strides in development and smart moves in the off-season. There's no reason to be surprised.

My car and my dog. That's about it. I haven't been away for so long that I'd miss arena staff or nothing.

It's unavoidable, really. Even if I didn't I'd have to, haha.

Benny boy! He brings the energy we all need.

Of course.

Mmhm... Only two come to mind, Nolan's Batman and Lord of the Rings. Maybe Batman.

1) Week two in the books and we lead the European Conference! Are you surprised to see us in this position?

Not at all. It will be a battle all season, and I definitely don't expect us to run away with it, but we've worked hard and I think we deserve to be on top.
2) When playing on the road what is something you miss from home?

My family joins me for most of our EC games, but when I have to fly to North America, it is hard to leave them behind.
3) Do you like to listen to music in the locker room before games?

Definitely! The most cringey emo stuff you've ever heard.
4) Who has been our unsung hero thus far?

It is hard to imagine, but I think Fontenette. I got a lot of attention last season, and I think people forgot how good he is.
5) If the guys went out for karaoke after a game would you go up and sing?

Nah, for all my love of music, you wouldn't want to hear me up there.
6) What is your favorite movie trilogy or franchise?

Star Wars. All of it. You can't say you're a Star Wars fan if you hate half the movies.

 

[Tape-to-Tape 298]

1- helsinki has been in a groove all season 72

2- I cant say me as backups only play 8 times. I will say Elsby.

3- Basketball

4- I fake the butterfly and go in with the poke check

5- Reading a hockey magazine

6- PC

[jRuutu 2,464]

1) Week three has come and gone. We sit comfortably in a playoff spot. Are you feeling like we have settled into a good groove?

I´d say so! Keeping the points coming, all the players are healthy and no real off nights lately, so things are going nicely!

2) We look to have three prospects joining us next season (Elsby(D), Helminen(W), Driver(G)). Who will make the quickest impact in your opinion?

Purely because I think they will get to play in bigger role to start, Elsby is my pick. As a defender Elsby will more than likely see a lot of minutes, which translates to bigger impact automatically, especially if Elsby gets to play on the powerplay, that is big when thinking about points as a rookie when coming up.

3) If you won tickets to a sporting event outside of hockey, what would you go see?

Would be great to see Barcelona and Messi play, just any match. Does not have to be the Classico against Real Madrid.
 

4) During shootout drills what is your go to breakaway move/deke?

I close my eyes and shoot as hard as I can, if I hit the net they got a fair chance on going in.

5) The power is out. What activity are you doing to kill time (keep it PG)?

Reading something if there is enough light, or going out for a run.

6) What is your preferred game system? PC, Xbox, Playstation or Nintendo

Playstation, good system and does everything I need for gaming.

[Tbeez99 82]

 

1) Week three has come and gone. We sit comfortably in a playoff spot. Are you feeling like we have settled into a good groove?

Yeah we are winning games and staying above .500
2) We look to have three prospects joining us next season (Elsby(D), Helminen(W), Driver(G)). Who will make the quickest impact in your opinion?

Im going to say Helminen will make the quickest impact.
3) If you won tickets to a sporting event outside of hockey, what would you go see?

I would like to see a pro football game.
4) During shootout drills what is your go to breakaway move/deke?

I like to fake slap-shot then wrist it. 
5) The power is out. What activity are you doing to kill time (keep it PG)?

Might be a good time for nap.
6) What is your preferred game system? PC, Xbox, Playstation or Nintendo

I prefer Playstation 4 or Xbox one.

 

[enigmatic 504]

1) Week three has come and gone. We sit comfortably in a playoff spot. Are you feeling like we have settled into a good groove?
I would love if we had more 2W sims rather than 1W-1L. Last sim was a good start.

 

2) We look to have three prospects joining us next season (Elsby(D), Helminen(W), Driver(G)). Who will make the quickest impact in your opinion?

Gonna go with Elsby because that's a bigger need for all the teams. I think the others will be very important to our team in the future too but they will kind of grow into their role a little bit slower.

 

3) If you won tickets to a sporting event outside of hockey, what would you go see?
I love tennis and a dream of mine would be to attend all the Grand Slams. I've been to the US Open already so I have 3 more to go!

 

4) During shootout drills what is your go to breakaway move/deke?
Shot between the legs is a classic. Whether or not I can execute it is irrelevant.

 

5) The power is out. What activity are you doing to kill time (keep it PG)?
I sleep. Life without electricity is not worth it.

 

6) What is your preferred game system? PC, Xbox, Playstation or Nintendo
I am on team Playstation but I like to game on PC for some things. I'm very into building games and they play a lot better on PC.

[ThePerfectNut 563]

1) Week three has come and gone. We sit comfortably in a playoff spot. Are you feeling like we have settled into a good groove?

Beside that 3 game losing streak. The team is doing great, but I hope we can do even better before the trade deadline.

2) We look to have three prospects joining us next season (Elsby(D), Helminen(W), Driver(G)). Who will make the quickest impact in your opinion?

Driver for sure ahahahahaha.

3) If you won tickets to a sporting event outside of hockey, what would you go see?

Stephen Curry shooting the fuck out of the basketball against the Clippers or the Bulls.

4) During shootout drills what is your go to breakaway move/deke?

Five hole. The great General Zod learnt me that move.

5) The power is out. What activity are you doing to kill time (keep it PG)?

No way I am keeping it PG dawg lmaoo

6) What is your preferred game system? PC, Xbox, Playstation or Nintendo

PC because it is the only thing that I got this year lol

[Jbeezy76 396]

1) Week three has come and gone. We sit comfortably in a playoff spot. Are you feeling like we have settled into a good groove?

we are playing hard and just need to push harder and get on a win streak. 
2) We look to have three prospects joining us next season (Elsby(D), Helminen(W), Driver(G)). Who will make the quickest impact in your opinion?

I think Elsby just might make a quick impact. 
3) If you won tickets to a sporting event outside of hockey, what would you go see?

I would love to see a UFC event. 
4) During shootout drills what is your go to breakaway move/deke?

I love to use the toe drag. 
5) The power is out. What activity are you doing to kill time (keep it PG)?

Go outside and build a fire.

I prefer PlayStation 4 or Xbox one.

I feel like there is always room for improvement.

Another concert.

There's always things you can do better. Get pucks to the net and stay out of the penalty box...

Difficult to predict, but I'll call out Elsby. He's smooth.

Golf... football, basketball. Figure skating...? Anything haha.

Hard wrister top cheese.

Jogging outside perhaps.

I don't prefer one over the other, but for convenience I don't have any of the family console systems. Just a pc thingy.

Despite being in second in the conference, our goal differential shows that we still have some work to do. We can't settle for where we're at, we need to find the next level.
2) We look to have three prospects joining us next season (Elsby(D), Helminen(W), Driver(G)). Who will make the quickest impact in your opinion?

Things are really up in the air with the expansion. We could lose prospects, or we could lose players and need prospects to step up into a big role. That being said, I think Helminen will probably get the biggest opportunity off the bat.
3) If you won tickets to a sporting event outside of hockey, what would you go see?

Soccer games are quite fun in person. The atmosphere is always great.
4) During shootout drills what is your go to breakaway move/deke?

Slapshot from the blue-line. I'm not high on the shootout list for a reason.
5) The power is out. What activity are you doing to kill time (keep it PG)?

Hoping my phone doesn't die as I slowly watch the battery drain while I play a game.
6) What is your preferred game system? PC, Xbox, Playstation or Nintendo

PC, baby! But the portability of the Switch is great.

[McLovin 466]

1) Week three has come and gone. We sit comfortably in a playoff spot. Are you feeling like we have settled into a good groove? I think we're in a good spot, but we need to be careful not to get too complacent and end up falling out of that spot later.
2) We look to have three prospects joining us next season (Elsby(D), Helminen(W), Driver(G)). Who will make the quickest impact in your opinion? I see Helminen being the biggest gamer changer, our offense is getting older and we've struggled offensively last few seasons, he'll be a great addition to the team.
3) If you won tickets to a sporting event outside of hockey, what would you go see? Baseball most likely.
4) During shootout drills what is your go to breakaway move/deke? Toe drag left, wrister top right corner. Easy money
5) The power is out. What activity are you doing to kill time (keep it PG)? Work out in all honesty
6) What is your preferred game system? PC, Xbox, Playstation or Nintendo: PC, but I do have a soft spot for Playstation

I saw Virgil once and we had fun. He's an amazing guy.

I'm not going to answer anything other than Chicago. Even if I liked another better.

I'll unfortunately be retiring at the end of the season, so there's no quarrel here.

Less penalties would be fantastic. I think across the board there's room for improvement.

Nolan Ryan, maybe?

Lime and pear smoothie. I love those little things.

[Tape-to-Tape 298]

1- The shutouts

2- not a fan of either, but if I must choose it would be Chicago

3- I think so as the future goalie

4- Score more goals

5- Auston Matthews

6- Some flavour of slushie
