Helsinki Titans Press Conference

[Vat 234]

Another week, another set of questions!

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

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

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)?
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?

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

 

just up until recently i have been starting to finally score some points, would be better if i could have got some more earlier but i still cant complain about myself 

 

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

 

Vaakainen will make one hell of a last year and will show who is the boss in this league

 

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)?

 

Pretty high, we have the potential and we have the players.  the only thing holding us down is sim luck

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

 

Goals against.  It is harder to lead that category as it shows how impressive the team is on defense which i think is not shined upon in the league.

 

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

 

5-5 looks much cooler than 0-0-10, nothing more to be said.

 

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

 

Surely they could but not in a really long time if scientist really wanted to make them play.

 

7) What is your biggest hockey-related fear?

 

seeing your team's star player suffer a career ending injury or seeing your team get relegated from the top league

[Tape-to-Tape 298]

1- not really. There is still lots of season to go.

2- Not sure. Aloe Dear?

3- staying 3rd would be ok so if we stay there and maybe jump to 2 we are good.

4- leading goals

5- win 5 and lose 5. Nothing beats celebrating a win.

6- not really

[Frank 5,212]

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

I think so I was hoping for one more developing season before getting top minutes but with Emi's retirement, that sort of forced the coaches hand.

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

Aloe Dear will lead the league in scoring and likewise Warsaw will lead the VHL in the Standings.

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)?

Unless we make an add before the deadline it seens unlikely.
4) What is more impressive in your mind; league leading goals for or goals against?

I would say goals for since that is harder to accomplish in a league with so much parity.

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

500. I hate the shootout especially with the loser point.

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

No, monkeys on the other hand seem keen to adapt. 

7) What is your biggest hockey-related fear?

Losing in back to back finals which I already went through as GM of Quebec loosing to Helsinki in back to back finals.

[GreenGato 101]

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

• Not exactly. I have been saving my progression to battle skill depreciation later one but I think I might need to work on something. At this point, I am not having a better year than the one prior.

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

• It's a really tight race. I think that Onde Sandstrom will be out the trifecta from Chicago and Aloe Dear.

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)?

• We are still favored over London to finish second. It'll take quite a lot for us to catch Warsaw but it is possible. Maybe 12-1 odds.

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

• Goal against because luck usually is on the side of the scorers. 

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

• The second options has a lot less heartbreak and is easier on the body haha.

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

• The fighting part should be easy. I can see a gorilla being somewhat familiar with a stick in the wild so that isn't too far off. The big question is skating.

[Jubo 1,839]

New set of questions!

2/ No doubt Valtteri gets MVP so far. 
3/ I will continue to play the role the coach wants me to play and focus on winning every game. 
4/ I know he’s a very good player so he will help us be more successful in the future. 
5/ Let’s go play some sand volleyball and drink some beer. 
6/ I look forward to stealing all of Verlander’s BBQ when he’s not looking so I can eat it

New set of questions! 

 

1) We are in an intense battle with Prague and Malmo, do you think we avoid the play in round?

 

I think that we will avoid it

 

2) Who has your vote for team MVP thus far?

 

Definetaly Vaakainen all around, and it is very deserved

 

3) What will be your focus over the next week as we prepare for playoffs?

 

Earning tpe and being as big of a helping player to the team

 

4) The Titans made a big trade early in the week acquiring star dman Erik Killinger. What do you think he brings to the team?

 

Definetaly defense which is the attribute we need to improve upon the most,  he has also been contributing a lot on the offensive side too

 

5) If the team were to play any other team sport, what do you think we would be great at?

 

Curling seems like a ton of fun to play

 

6) What do you look forward to most about the off-season?

 

Being able to say that i have officially completed my first ever vhl season

[Frank 5,212]

1) We are in an intense battle with Prague and Malmo, do you think we avoid the play in round?

Unfortunately I think we end up in the play ins but we beat Malmo. 

2) Who has your vote for team MVP thus far?

Valtteri Vaakanainen he leads the team.in scoring and has been a great captain.

3) What will be your focus over the next week as we prepare for playoffs?

I'd like to improve skating to have that extra step for the playoffs. All the top teams are fast and I feel that's Moreau's biggest weakness at the moment.

4) The Titans made a big trade early in the week acquiring star dman Erik Killinger. What do you think he brings to the team?

He gives us a number one defensemen after the loss of Emi Rune to retirement. Hopefully it's enough to push us over the top. 

5) If the team were to play any other team sport, what do you think we would be great at?

Soccer I feel like our entire team has great cardio/endurance to play on a full sized soccer pitch. 

6) What do you look forward to most about the off-season?

Improving my player to simultaneously help the team improve. I look forward to seeing what @Rayzor_7 can accomplish over a full off season.

[Tape-to-Tape 298]

1- I think we play in the play in round

2- vaak has been beastly. Vikingstad has been having a strong retirement season.

3- improving my reflexes

4- strengthened what we needed. It was the right move.

5- I am going to go with soccer

6- preparing for Driver’s final season

@Zakary Delisle @dylanjj37 @ATST @Hank @Lspinelli @Jericho

 

 

1) Both will be tough opponents, so hard to choose one over the other.
2) Zamboni has been on fire all year, he's got my vote.
3) Getting my play to where it needs to be. I've hit a cold skid again so I need to get hot at the right time.
4) I think he brings leadership and hopefully we can get him a cup.
5) Football. We're big and physical so we'd definitely be a good football team.
6) Practicing every day. Just improving and noticing it in both myself and others.

[GreenGato 101]

1) We are in an intense battle with Prague and Malmo, do you think we avoid the play in round?

• It is going to be tight. We need a touch of luck in order to make it happen. Crazier things have happened...

2) Who has your vote for team MVP thus far?

• My initial favorite Onde has fallen back in the race and it is really Aloe Dear's to lose.

3) What will be your focus over the next week as we prepare for playoffs?

• Hoping to gain momentum by scoring a couple of goals before we go into the playoffs. 

4) The Titans made a big trade early in the week acquiring star dman Erik Killinger. What do you think he brings to the team?

• He brings us the experience, wantingness to win, and a top pair skilled defenseman that we have been missing.

5) If the team were to play any other team sport, what do you think we would be great at?

• That is a good question, I think I'd be best as a Small Forward in basketball. Athletic and! defensively minded with some scoring ability.

6) What do you look forward to most about the off-season?

• Time with the family, I need a vacation badly! Although, I wouldn't hate it was cut short by a championship celebration.

[Jubo 1,839]

1) We are in an intense battle with Prague and Malmo, do you think we avoid the play in round?

Unfortunately we did not but we just won both games today and scored 14 goals combined!

2) Who has your vote for team MVP thus far?

Vikingstad had a great retirement season and it off to a dream start in the playoffs.

3) What will be your focus over the next week as we prepare for playoffs?

Preparing mentally to be a leader during the run.

4) The Titans made a big trade early in the week acquiring star dman Erik Killinger. What do you think he brings to the team?

Exactly what we needed. A proven star go-to dman.

5) If the team were to play any other team sport, what do you think we would be great at?

Ive seen soccer mentioned alot above so I will switch it up and say volley-ball.

6) What do you look forward to most about the off-season?

Resting up for another great season. This next one will be Vaak's last.

5) I don’t have any impressions cuz I don’t know him very well

7) It’s easy you just get your ass moving and do it. 

[Frank 5,212]

No we will finish them as quickly and swiftly as we can.

2) Who do you think will end up with the most playoff points for our team?

Valtteri will finish with the most playoff points much like last season. Except this time @Jubo wins a Kanou.

3) What do you think our odds are for the cup?

Right now we have a 1 in 10 chance

4) Do you expect any Titans to win regular season awards?

Honestly, no I feel like we were built more as a team then off the backs of individual players.

6) Yours truly is going on vacation this weekend; where would you like to take a trip?

Once the vaccine goes into overdrive it would be great to go to the Dominican or Cuba.

7) How are you best able to focus on training? 

Repeating the same tasks each week for consistency. Which is why I like these press conferences each week.

[Tape-to-Tape 298]

1- we are hopeful we can win game 5

2- I think Vaak does

3- Lower than in the previous few seasons.

4- verlander has a chance to win the most improved player award

5- don't really have one. He is very quiet so far in the locker room.

6- a trip to the cup finals

1- Apparently we lost so to late for that talk now. 
2- I would’ve said Vaakanaan.
3- Since it’s over I would say none. 
4-Helsinki is to hated to get any prestigious awards. 
5- I caught him with a “Sharter toy” in his mouth in his office . So he probably makes fake fart sounds when nobody is looking.  
6- Let’s go to anywhere tropical. 

[GreenGato 101]

1) It was a really rough way to go out after getting the series lead first. I'm sad and hurting.

2) I would have thought Laine would show up as the leader for the team in the playoffs. He wasn't that far off.

3) Umm, before the playoffs, I didn't think that were anywhere being favorites, maybe 10%.

4) Unlikely but I'd love for one of our vets to grab one.

6) I think it would be able to make a trip to Japan after the season.

7) We will see what management thinks I should work on. I am currently just saving for depreciation.

[Mr_Hatter 1,608]

Presser for July 4th

 

1) Well unfortunately we fell in a close series to Malmo. What went wrong?

6) Would you trade a year of your life to win a cup?

7) What is your catchphrase?

3) hitting the links and likely spending some time at the beach

4) hanging out with loved ones

5) Makes me think of a certain friendly dinosaur

6) I would not

[Dil 1,760]

1) Well unfortunately we fell in a close series to Malmo. What went wrong?

Nothing went wrong, simon just didn't feel like gracing us with more wins

 

2) Who do you think will win the cup, now that we are out?

Seattle like always most likely

 

3) This weekend is Independence Day in the US, do you have any fun plans, American or otherwise?

No plans, minecraft and coding only!

Just at home

 

5) What do you think of the color purple?

Purple is actually one of my top 3 colors, I really like how it looks on logos and stuff

 

6) Would you trade a year of your life to win a cup?

Definitely not in my opinion

[Frank 5,212]

1) Well unfortunately we fell in a close series to Malmo. What went wrong?

I think we should have changed things up after games 3 and 4. But I understand why Rayzor didn't.

 

2) Who do you think will win the cup, now that we are out?

Anyone but Seattle. I hate that franchise and Warsaw or Prague need it more.

 

3) This weekend is Independence Day in the US, do you have any fun plans, American or otherwise?

Take it easy, it's the weekend. Not American so don't really care. 

 

4) What is your happy place?

Sunny resort at the bar pool side drinking a pina colada slush in all exclusivity.

Reminds me of Davos. They have great uniforms and a slick logo. Even the first logo was quite nice.

 

6) Would you trade a year of your life to win a cup?

Yes because I'm pretty much wasting my life anyways. Winning a cup is far greater then anything I would do in that year.

[Tape-to-Tape 298]

1- I think line changes or strategies could have changed things. We were the better team on paper.

2- Seattle again. Happy for Venus.

3- Decided to go out to the local park on the water with a couple friends.

5- it is a good color
