@PatrikLaine @osens @harvey @DrHexDex

 

1) I just want to win a Cup !

2) I hope to score a lot of goals. 

3) I was excited about drafts and the beginning of season. 

4) Yeah it’s always fun traveling to new places. 

5) Ryan Garcia the boxer is an awesome fighter. 

6) I remember playing Pitfall and Astroids on Atari. 

[Tape-to-Tape 298]

1- playing well in my backup games and giving Ross some competition

2- At this time I want to improve everything

3- the draft is fun to follow

4- yes I have never been to London or Warsaw

5- Not too sure to be honest. I’ll say whoever is competing for Canada in the olympic events.

6- Mario bros.

[jRuutu 2,462]

1) S73 season starts on Tuesday, what is a personal goal for you this season?

Point per game sounds like a good goal, not sure if I´m able to make it, but I have taken some steps forward and I think I can get close to it at least.

2) Training camp is open, what is an area of your game you are hoping to improve?

Maybe the physical side, strength and skating could use some attention, not much but just enough that I can keep going all year long.

3) Do you enjoy the trades/free agency/drafts or do you just count down the days to get back into action?

I do enjoy all those things, I´m not an expert on any of them obviously, but its fun to follow what is happening around the league and think how that might impact our team in the upcoming season.

4) 16 teams now in the VHL, are you looking forward to traveling to the four new cities?

Yep! Especially Warsaw, that sounds like a good time. I know Polish fans are loud and follow their teams with passion, I can only imagine how loud it will be in their home games.

5) Who is your favorite non-hockey athlete?

I have to say Roy Keane. Legendary footballer who played for Ireland and for Manchester United. He is an intense person, played the game hard and gave his all for the team.

6) Name a video game you remember from your childhood

GTA: Sand Andreas is one, althought not sure exactly how old I was when I played it for the first time, but long time ago that is for sure.

 

[enigmatic 504]

1) S73 season starts on Tuesday, what is a personal goal for you this season?
Point per game would be my goal for this season.

 

2) Training camp is open, what is an area of your game you are hoping to improve?
I will be working on physical attributes, like strength and I'm close to maxing skating.

 

3) Do you enjoy the trades/free agency/drafts or do you just count down the days to get back into action?
It's fun to welcome new teammates to our team but I'm more than ready to play again.

 

4) 16 teams now in the VHL, are you looking forward to traveling to the four new cities?
Some of them are questionable hockey markets but they're all interesting cities at least. I'm most looking forward to discovering Warsaw.

 

5) Who is your favorite non-hockey athlete?
I love Kim Clijsters.

 

6) Name a video game you remember from your childhood
My (much older) cousins gave us their NES when we were little. My sister played Bubble Bobble a bunch so it stuck with me.

3) Riga is always fun to beat. 

4) Doesn’t hurt to tweak the special teams. 

5) Yes of course my Blues are ready to roll.

1) After week one we are 7-5-0, what are you most happy with thus far?

hahaha  Thats easy... My Teammates !! Helsinki is the best place to play and Jubo has truly  put together such an amazing group of users that are always their supporting each other and staying active the LR is my 2nd home.
2) What do you want to improve on in the short-term?

In the short term im doing mostly leg combined with hand eye exercises as a hybrid method of increasing my leg strength as well as my ability to handle the puck at full speed with total control. 
3) Who has been our biggest rival so far?

MALMO
4) Our special teams numbers have been poor, is it just bad luck or should we tweak the lines?

To be honest, i am unaware of where the lines are even posted ? and if they are where can i see them ? last i spoke to Jubo i was 2nd PP , I know i can make a difference on the #1 PP Unit , Special Teams is when i really shine and my IQ allows me to dominate
5) NHL play-in round is coming up this week, will you be watching?

Honestly no , those guys are overpaid , im going to be watching VHLM games 
6) Recommend a Netflix series or movie you have enjoyed.

1) We are winning games is making me happy!

2) I just want help win games and score points.

3) I think Moscow is still a pretty big rival and Malmo is also.

4) Jubo will figure it out and tweaking the lines a little is a good thing.

5) I will pay attention for sure.

6) I really like the Lucifer show.

[jRuutu 2,462]

1) After week one we are 7-5-0, what are you most happy with thus far?

We are winning games and our own game is getting better, so I´m happy with the whole general direction and energy of the team.

2) What do you want to improve on in the short-term?

Scoring is one area, I´m getting the opportunities to score goals, but I have not been using those chances as well as I could.

3) Who has been our biggest rival so far?

Moscow and Malmo are good picks, our friendly or not so friendly neighbors!

4) Our special teams numbers have been poor, is it just bad luck or should we tweak the lines?

Who knows, couple PP goals will more than likely make the numbers look a lot prettier, so could just be bad luck, but of course if things are not working anytime soon, perhaps some changes are in place.

5) NHL play-in round is coming up this week, will you be watching?

No, but going to check the scores and maybe watch some highlights if Finnish players do something fancy.

6) Recommend a Netflix series or movie you have enjoyed.

Archer is a fun show

We got our revenge on London.

16 hours ago, Jubo07 said:

2) What do you want to improve on in the short-term?

Finding the back of the net I'm not lacking on shots I'm getting off but I'm not capitalizing.

3) Who has been our biggest rival so far?

Moscow without a doubt.

4) Our special teams numbers have been poor, is it just bad luck or should we tweak the lines?

It's hard to say, but I would say it's a mixture of bad luck and maybe needing a little if tweaking

I will be doing my best hopefully if I can't watch I can listen or I'll catch the highlights.

[enigmatic 504]

1) After week one we are 7-5-0, what are you most happy with thus far?

Contribution is pretty spread out. Everyone wants to be their team's superstar but seeing everyone patricipate to the scoring sheet is encouraging.

2) What do you want to improve on in the short-term?
I would like to score more. I'm tired of losing games by 1 point.

3) Who has been our biggest rival so far?
Riga probably. The games are split so far and we've seen fighting in both games.

4) Our special teams numbers have been poor, is it just bad luck or should we tweak the lines?
STHS sucks but usually you can find a combo that will work out well. Sometimes it's just one player you didn't expect who can make the difference.

5) NHL play-in round is coming up this week, will you be watching?

I don't have cable but I will certainly try to watch.

 

6) Recommend a Netflix series or movie you have enjoyed.
Gonna go with Altered Carbon.

Finding my stride in net!
2) What do you want to improve on in the short-term?

everything
3) Who has been our biggest rival so far?

For me, it's going to be Davos.  I'm guessing it's Malmo for our team though
4) Our special teams numbers have been poor, is it just bad luck or should we tweak the lines?

If you're not happy, tweak 'em.  you can always tweak them back
5) NHL play-in round is coming up this week, will you be watching?

Yes!  BOLTS BOLTS BOLTS
6) Recommend a Netflix series or movie you have enjoyed.

I don't watch a lot of new stuff.  I watched 1917, it was pretty good.  The first season of Punisher was great. I recently watched the first episode of carnival row, it was odd but not bad.

 

[McLovin 466]

1) After week one we are 7-5-0, what are you most happy with thus far? We've been really picking it up and the team is preforming like a true team, and our record last few days has reflected that with the win streak.
2) What do you want to improve on in the short-term? Still need a bit of work on my puck handling, past that just keeping up to speed with everything in this last season.
3) Who has been our biggest rival so far? I'd say that's probably Riga
4) Our special teams numbers have been poor, is it just bad luck or should we tweak the lines? Could be a combination of both, but so far we've been good with this win streak, so whatever happened is working well.
5) NHL play-in round is coming up this week, will you be watching? Since my hometown boys in the Avs aren't playing till round one, I'll be watching Arizona or Pittsburgh and what they can put together.
6) Recommend a Netflix series or movie you have enjoyed. Hell on Wheels was amazing, highly recommend

[osens 297]

1) After week one we are 7-5-0, what are you most happy with thus far? I am happy, that my future team is doing great and hopefully they kep this up.
2) What do you want to improve on in the short-term? I want to improve my strength, but my minor team is limiting me.
3) Who has been our biggest rival so far? I would say every team from Europe conference. 
4) Our special teams numbers have been poor, is it just bad luck or should we tweak the lines? Bad luck. Helsinki does always everything right.
5) NHL play-in round is coming up this week, will you be watching? No, I will be watching NBA. 
6) Recommend a Netflix series or movie you have enjoyed. I enjoyed Santa Clarita Diet.

5) My pet peeve is don’t mess with my helmet.

We're not doing horrible but there is a lot of room for improvement. 

2) If you could improve one thing about STHS sim engine what would it be?

Fix the scoring, if a team has 50 shots on a 100 tpe goalie they shouldn't be losing lol.

3) Who on the Titans do you believe finishes the season with the most goals?

Vaakaininen or Okada.

4) What team swag does your player wear on off-days?

Hoodies, a t-shirt, and a nice pair of blue jeans.

Do not touch my stuff.

The Colorado Avalanche.

@PatrikLaine @osens @harvey @DrHexDex

 

1) I think we can do even better.  

2) I am not sure but the STHS is pretty wacky!

3) Probably Valterri (or Okada & Draven.)

4) I wear the team hat and team t shirt.

5) I really don't have one besides try not to stink if you sit besides me. 

6) I would say Detroit or Washington. 

[jRuutu 2,462]

1) We sit at 15-10-1 after week two. How are you feeling about the season thus far?

Pretty good run so far, 31 points and 4th place in the European division. First team has 17 wins and 37 points, so we have everything on our own hands when it comes down to rest of the season, that is a cool place to be in after 25 or so games.

2) If you could improve one thing about STHS sim engine what would it be?

Less penalty minutes for players who have high checking. I don´t know what is the reason for hooking and tripping penalties especially being so common when you add stuff to checking, those should be common for every player.

3) Who on the Titans do you believe finishes the season with the most goals?

I´ll say Vaakanainen because he seems to have slightly better accuracy this year compared to rest of the top shooters in the roster.

4) What team swag does your player wear on off-days?

Towel that has the Titans logo on it, I wear as little clothing as possible during the off-days.

5) What is a locker-room pet-peeve of yours?

The music I sometimes hear in the locker-room is not that great. That annoys me. Classics or no tunes at all is what I says.

6) If you had to switch favorite NHL teams who would you cheer for?

Carolina perhaps. Like the Finnish players in Carolina!
