Deee.Geee 40 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 1) Who do you view as our biggest rival? Hard to say as a rookie and this season the way it's going. Hopefully one develops next year, organically. 2) Are there any teams you'd want to play for, outside of Helsinki? New York has a lot of history, would be interested in playing for them. 3) What do you think is the best part about a sports rivalry? Nobody takes a night off during those game. 4) Would you prefer to have the league leading defense, or offense? Offense - there's usually a bigger correlation between goals scored and points vs goals allowed. 5) Have you ever given a half time speech to your teammates (or, for hockey, period break)? How did it go? If not, have you ever gotten one? I felt comfortable enough to start doing that last year in my second season in the VHL 6) Do you prefer Macs, Window's PCs, or Linux? Windows 7) What are your favorite non-hockey sports teams, if any? Genoa F.C.

School started and got to meet my friends after what have felt like forever 3) What injury scares you the most? Losing the ability to see, not being able to see anything like my cat or even anything for that part scares me, I would rather Lose a limb than go blind 4) Have you ever scored a hattrick? If I have? In my good ol' Mississauga days I once scored 7 points in 1 game, I know I was Jesus back then. 5) Do you think professional athletes should get to complain about their job? Yes, we do not see it but they train basically every day to become the best they can and we go nuts after a goalie makes a slight mistake after 10s of marvelous saves. 6) Have you put in any suggestions for the Suggestion Drive?

I've been grown up playing a ton of instruments and piano is the one I find easiest as long as you know what chords to play and how, on the other hand instruments where you have to blow for example the flute or a trumpet you have to mind your mouth positing, how much air you blow out and how to play notes Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/52457-helsinki-titans-press-conference/page/41/#findComment-868315 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOGShark 29 Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 1. 50 hours doing something you love with same pay. 2. I believe the Seattle Bears would win the cup. 3. I don't think that the VHLM awards should do anything with the hall of fame. 4. Playing Among Us, Minecraft, and NHL for long hours without disturbance. 5. Lots of deadlifts and treadmill workout. 6. The save streak challenges are crazy. 7. When I was a young child, I went to one live hockey game.

Easily the 50 hour job, if you love it you can keep doing it for long periods of time without getting bored. 2) Who do you think is going to end up winning the Continental Cup? I have no idea tbh, haven't really been looking too much at other teams this season 3) Do you think VHLM Awards should factor into Hall of Fame chances? No. It's tons of luck in that league, end up with 2 lucky years and you could have like 4 trophies from there. 4) What is your ideal rest day? Rest, homemade tacos, hockey match in the evening with some chips 5) What is your ideal strength and conditioning day? The thing with those days is that you use your body so much that you start to just want to go to sleep on the ground, so the ideal one would be none! buuut I want to answer so: Wake up, normal morning stuff, something with eggs for breakfast, mentally prepare yourself, lunch, go train hard until your body has to stop you. 6) What is your favorite event at the All Star game? The creative shootout event, really interesting to see what people can come up with. 7) Have you ever been to a live hockey match? How many, do you estimate? Yes, I've been to way more than I can remember, went to my first one at 6 years old then have watched a majority of Rögle's home games, so I'd day 150-ish+ Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/52457-helsinki-titans-press-conference/page/41/#findComment-871028 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CowboyinAmerica 2,907 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Hey, I can do these now! 1) What is your least favorite part about the VHL? Don't really have anything tangible, so I suppose it's just getting burned out. Full careers spanning multiple years can be a lot to try and keep up. 2) And your favorite part? A lot of what I get out of the VHL is just building towards something - seeing what happens when I put in work compared to others. I have a competitive streak, and it does well to satisfy it. 3) How many teams have you played for in total? Christ. Well - Seattle, Cologne, Calgary, Riga, Stockholm held my rights for a second, Toronto, Seattle again, Davos, Seattle a third time, New York, D.C., now Helsinki. So, uh, 10th different team? 4) Would you rather lose in the first round of playoffs, or come in dead last but get the 1st overall pick in the draft? It's all about the titles for me, and if that means a full rebuild with the number one pick, that's what you have to do. 5) Do you think teams should be punished for tanking? Not at all, it's a viable strategy. It's on the league to adjust lottery odds so that it's fair. Though I'm also approaching that from the perspective of someone who Trusted the Process so... 7) Have you ever been traded? Only once - when Calgary knew I was heading to FA with Wingate and wanted to get something for me before I did. Of course, they ended up losing the finals in Game 7 after a bad goaltending performance, so...
