Helsinki Titans Press Conference

[Frank 5,225]

1- What is your best memory from last season?

Our playoff run that saw us lose to Seattle in the finals. I think it was a great experience especially for the younger players like myself.

2- Who do you sit beside in the locker room?

Last season I sat beside Zamboni Driver @Tape-to-Tape and this season I'm sitting next to rookie sensation Gustislav Nasherov @Vat.

3- How important is playoff experience to you?

Very important, I want to make the playoffs every season in my career.

4- Name the best concession food you have had in a sports facility.

Hot dog with sauerkraut can't beat that. 

5- What do you do to pass time on a plane or bus ride?

Play poker with the boys. Laine @PatrikLaine is easily the best player. 

6- Are you playing any video games over the offseason?

Playing COD warzone but I suck and keep getting annihilated by all the sweaty players.

1) Game 7 against Warsaw was amazing. The third period comeback and the OT winner was just an awesome time.

2) I've got Vaakanainen on my left @Jubo and rookie Nasherov on my right @Vat. Both are very good locker room guys and good players.

3) It's important. Guys who have been there can bring so much to a team.

4) So recently I got a General Manager spot in Minnesota. During my first time at the arena, I tried their popcorn. Best popcorn I've ever had.

5) Sometimes I just vibe to my playlist, but other times I like to play Poker. I'm pretty good at it, just ask Moreau @Frank.

6) VALORANT and NHL 21 are personal favourites of mine.

1- What is your best memory from last season?

 

Advancing to the founders cup finals.  Nothing better than hearing the goal horn make noise and you know that you are going to advance

 

2- Who do you sit beside in the locker room?

 

Laine seems like a really cool person and i love to hear about his first impressions about becoming the GM of Minnesota

 

3- How important is playoff experience to you?

 

It is of course the highlight of my year but if a team has to tank for a year i dont really mind

 

4- Name the best concession food you have had in a sports facility.

 

Tacos!

 

5- What do you do to pass time on a plane or bus ride?

 

Play som clash of clans and just play mobile games in general

 

6- Are you playing any video games over the offseason?

 

I started clash of clans and i have been getting really into it.

1) My best memory from last season was having a dream we won the cup. 

2) I’m on the corner of the locker room sitting beside my buddy Gary Rush.

3) Playoffs really test our endurance and chemistry so it’s a very big test for any team. 

4) I would say it has to be those nachos. 

5) I listen to a lot of melodic & psychedelic rock music. 

6) I always play NHL21, NBA2K21,& GTA V.

 

[GreenGato 101]

1- What is your best memory from last season?

•  My best memory from last season was signing Venus. She was a great addition to the team and even thought it was short, she helped up reach the finals.

2- Who do you sit beside in the locker room?

• I sit next to Valt and the open locker for the deadline signing. It's been fun to have a new locker buddy each year by being posted up next to the open locker.

3- How important is playoff experience to you?

• Extremely! Being clutch and playing under stress is a learned skill. Playoffs are 100% clutch moments so the more we can play in the playoffs the better we will be. 

4- Name the best concession food you have had in a sports facility.

• Good question! I like local sandwiches so anytime I can try the local fare between 2 pieces of bread, I'm a happy guy.

5- What do you do to pass time on a plane or bus ride?

• I love to play cards and they are my favorite to chat and pass the time during trips.

6- Are you playing any video games over the offseason?

• I haven't been playing much of anything recently. I did get back into some old school Gamecube and Wii games through an emulator. Mostly Kart and THPS games.

S78 and S79

Any kind of soup except for soup with mushrooms

Making us pick our favorites huh? well im gonna outsmart you, we all morph into one person and then we dont have to get rid of anyone

 

5) What is better, regular season MVP and no cup, or a cup?

 

Cup, MVP doesnt matter as much as everyone getting a cup together and being able to celebrate

 

6) Give me your favorite LR moment as a Titan so I can get to know the squad!

 

I have not been there for a long time so i dont have a specific memory but i really like how open it is and you can talk about anything you want

 

7) Do you think you have better puck handling or a better shot?

 

I mean 90 scoring 81 puck handling but i guess that scoring hasnt really worked for me so id guess puck handling

[Tape-to-Tape 298]

1- Warsaw from EU and Seattle in the NA are our big rivals

2- S79

3- Chicken Noodle Soup with crackers

4- Vaakanainen

5- winning a cup as a team

6- blades after season awards. I am sad she and Jubo are no longer in charge here but I am looking forward to what the new managers have for us

[Jubo 1,839]

1) Who do you view as our biggest rival right now? I would say Seattle. Venus Thightrap is a powerhouse!

2) Predict the next time we will win a cup: Season 79 or 80, but don't count us out this season.

3) Favorite kind of soup? Minestrone

4) If you had to get rid of the whole team except one person, who would you choose to keep? hmmm, I would go with our best young player so the organization would still have someone to build around. Not naming names lol.

5) What is better, regular season MVP and no cup, or a cup? Not even close, gotta be winning a cup.

6) Give me your favorite LR moment as a Titan so I can get to know the squad! Each and every season during my 9 seasons as GM. So many great members and memories.

[Frank 5,225]

1) Who do you view as our biggest rival right now?

Seattle because of the finals loss as well as losing Thightrap and Rose to them in the off season.

2) Predict the next time we will win a cup.

I'm going to predict Season 81. I don't get the sense @Rayzor_7 is impatient I suspect he'll build the team he wants with a slow burn method.

3) Favorite kind of soup?

Cream of _____. Ramen is truly the best.

4) If you had to get rid of the whole team except one person, who would you choose to keep?

I would keep @Vat since we're the same draft season and we'll have similar career peaks.

5) What is better, regular season MVP and no cup, or a cup?

Cup is all that matters. As many as possible preferably.

6) Give me your favorite LR moment as a Titan so I can get to know the squad!

Everyday in the Titans discord is a fucking blast. Can't pick one moment.

7) Do you think you have better puck handling or a better shot?

1. Probably Seattle and Moscow would be our biggest rivals. 
2. I think we can win in the next couple of seasons.

3. I don’t like soup that much. 
4. I would choose to keep Valterri. 
5. Winning a cup is the most important accomplishment. 
6. Probably the time I put whip cream inside Verlanders skates. 

[GreenGato 101]

1) We have had a pretty good rivalry with the Predators of the past couple years. Our regular season matchups hold a little more weight and our eventually playoff series are grueling.

2) Why can't it be this year??! I think we will get one within the next 3 years. 

3) Is chili a soup? It's probably a stew but if it can count as a soup, chili for sure! If not, homemade chicken noodle soup.

4) It's a tough call between Driver and DanDan. Gotta pick the goalie over everyone else.

5) Cup! Always the cup.

6) Probably Blade's end of the season awards.

7) I think they are both pretty average.

It has its place in the game still but will trend less and less as the game focusses more on speed and skill. Fights will always happen, you cant take the passion out of the player.

Each pre-season roster reveal article within the titans forum LR. Seemed to always get everyone pumped in and bought into the season ahead.

Answer 6 questions to claim 2 capped TPE

1) What are your personal goals for your player this season?

 

just developing as much as i can to be able to fit into the team well

 

2) What do you think are some achievable team goals?

 

Making a little playoff push this season seems achievable

 

3) Who has the absolute worst dance moves on the team? 

 

Definitely me, no more explanation needed.

 

4) Who are you rooting for in the NHL playoffs?

 

Tampa!!!

 

5) What is your opinion of fighting in hockey? Not enough, too much, or just right?

 

I like it how it is in the NHL but in Sweden we need more, just this season the league decided that the refs were not aloud to interfere with a fight until it's over.

 

6) Top 3 kinds of cheese, go!

 

Parmesan.

 

7) What is your favorite thing you have ever created in the VHL? 

 

I haven't created much but i did create this on my first week in Mexico which could count as a graphic?

(this wasn't a submitted as a graphic but instead a picture inside of a media spot)

[Frank 5,225]

1) What are your personal goals for your player this season?

Improve offensively, with the departure of Emi Rune I felt I need to accelerate that aspect of my player. I can say mission accomplished at the half way point already matching last seasons totals.

2) What do you think are some achievable team goals?

Go on another playoff run but that might be unreasonable if we don't add a piece by the deadline.

3) Who has the absolute worst dance moves on the team? 

Patrik Laine @PatrikLaine needs to stick to sniping on the powerplay. His go to dance move is the floss, nuff said.

4) Who are you rooting for in the NHL playoffs?

I'd like to see an underdog make it out on top either NYI or Habs.

5) What is your opinion of fighting in hockey? Not enough, too much, or just right?

Right now I would say it's just right.

6) Top 3 kinds of cheese, go!

Blue cheese, cheddar cheese and monterey.

7) What is your favorite thing you have ever created in the VHL? 

When I was doing coding for the site's skins back in Season 40 ish it was fun to add clickable icons for team rosters as well as a side by side banner that scrolls with you. Fun times. 

[GreenGato 101]

1) What are your personal goals for your player this season?

- I'd like to be in the top 5 of at least 3 stats on the team. 

2) What do you think are some achievable team goals?

- Making it to back to the conference final would be the point in which I would call the season a success no mater what.

3) Who has the absolute worst dance moves on the team? 

- I am for sure! Tone deaf and unable to carry a beat is a deadly combination on the dance floor or karaoke stage. 

4) Who are you rooting for in the NHL playoffs?

- I was rooting for the Caps when they were in it. I'd like to see a Canadian team finally win it.

5) What is your opinion of fighting in hockey? Not enough, too much, or just right?

- Hockey is in a good place with fighting at the moment. The way hockey is currently being played with such speed, when people are getting hit, the collisions are massive. Fighting helps to deter taking such leeway. We have evolved from where the game was 20 years ago where we had dedicated fighters without any skill.

6) Top 3 kinds of cheese, go!

- Manchego, Smoked Gouda, and Cheddar.

4) What is more impressive in your mind; league leading goals for or goals against?

5) Would you rather lose 10 games in a shootout, or win 5 in regulation and lose 5 in regulation?

6) Do you think gorillas could ever learn how to play hockey? 

7) What is your biggest hockey-related fear?

3) We can probably catch London. 

4) I think leading league for goals for is way better. 

5) I would rather lose 10 in a shootout. 

6)I’m sure there a some smart monkeys out there.

1.No, and  I could definitely be doing way better. 
2. Hopefully someone on our team ! 
3. There’s always a possibility to catch both of them. 
4. I believe goals for would be best for me. 
5. I would rather lose 10 shootout games. 
6. Gorillas might be able to play hockey if they were taught at a young age. 

[Jubo 1,839]

1) Do you think you have been performing up to your expectation this season so far? 

Close but not quite enough multi-point games to get Vaak to where he should be among the leagues elite.

2) Who do you think will lead the league in points by the end of the season?

Looks like Reno (Aloe Dear) has it locked down.

3) Right now we are sitting 3rd in the European Conference. What are the odds we catch London (3 points back), or even Warsaw (10)?

Warsaw is out of reach, London we can reach but it looks more doubtful as the season moves along. Nothing wrong with 3rd, just need to fend off Prague and Malmo.
4) What is more impressive in your mind; league leading goals for or goals against?

Neither, goal differential is where its at.

5) Would you rather lose 10 games in a shootout, or win 5 in regulation and lose 5 in regulation?

Win 5 and lose 5. Single point games just don't add much of anything to excitement or hype

7) What is your biggest hockey-related fear?

Career ending injury like a severe concussion.
