Halloween Press Conference

 

Halloween was always one of the nights I loved the most as child even if my hockey usually meant I was on bus being drove somewhere while everyone else dressed up and took part in the trick or treats. If I did make it out trick or treating it was usually in full hockey gear!! LOL!!

 

 

 

1.     Finish the sentence: It`s close to midnight and something evil is lurking………

...IN THE DAAAAAAARK. Unda the MOOOOOONLIGHT you see a sight that almost stops your heart... YOU TRY TO SCREEEAAAM. Ok ok ok I'll stop...

 

 

CAUSE THIS IS THRILLERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

THRILLER NIGHT!

 

2.     Name the one player that you want by your side if you are walking down a dirty dark alley and you are scared? Why?

If it's a teammate, I'm going with Martin based off hits. He really knows how to dish 'em out and he ain't scared.

 

3.     Name the first Halloween song that comes to your brain?

Well, you have Thriller in my head now so that's gonna be my answer for this!

 

4.     What are you dressing up as this Halloween?

Goofy! I could pull it off better if I looked like a dog... I look more like a "plug" or a homeless dude. 

 

5.     If you could pull a prank on a team mate during Halloween; what would it be and who would you pick?

Thorvy would try to prank Soju by replacing his mask for one of those old school hockey masks, but something tells me Soju would just embrace it...

 

6.     Morale question: If I left a bowl of full-size chocolate bars outside on the front door with a sign “Please Take one” would you only take one? Explain….

I would definitely take 2. I like options...what if I grabbed a Hershey bar then get home and wish I grabbed a Kit Kat bar instead? Grab both, no worries!

 

7.     Bonus: Team bonding active I have decided to take the team drunk trick or treating; Have you ever been drunk trick or treating before and who would be the first to pass out? Explain….  

Never been drunk trick or treating and I don't really ever plan on it haha Uhh...Soju maybe? You'd think with a name like that he'd be able to handle whatever alcohol he puts in himself, but he's definitely a lightweight.

@Frank@Girts@Scurvy@Thunder@Subject056@mmrs617@Gaikoku-hito@Smarch@Sawyer13@ScottyP@Kisslinger@ethan tustain@jblock3@Tetricide

 

1. ...turned out to be my boss asking me to keep working. 

 

2. Logan Ninefingers because one look at his face strikes fear in anyone. 

 

3. Zombie Stomp. 

 

4. A middle-aged bald guy that needs a nap. No costume needed. 

 

5. I would fill Bollos de Trueno's skates with melted reeses peanut butter cups. 

 

6. Yes because chocolate bars aren't that exciting. If it was snickers id take them all. 

 

7. No, but Liv Slater would pass out first cuz he weighs like 145. 

[Frank 5,208]

1.     Finish the sentence: It`s close to midnight and something evil is lurking………

The Seattle Bears. Scariest thing on the internet. 

 

2.     Name the one player that you want by your side if you are walking down a dirty dark alley and you are scared? Why?

Guntis Gavilrovs @Girts. Because he's one tough mfer. Hopefully he goes first tbh. 

 

3.     Name the first Halloween song that comes to your brain?

Is there even halloween music. Now I'm thinking of my favourite horror movies. So the Halloween score for Michael Myers has to be it. Best horror theme of all-time.

 

4.     What are you dressing up as this Halloween?

I avoided my sisters halloween party because I hate dressing up. Next question?

 

5.     If you could pull a prank on a team mate during Halloween; what would it be and who would you pick?

I would prank @Thunder and @Scurvy with the promise of attractive women but it's just @ScottyP by himself in a room with the promise of best heads up game you've ever played. 

 

6.     Morale question: If I left a bowl of full-size chocolate bars outside on the front door with a sign “Please Take one” would you only take one? Explain….

Yes i'm not desperate for chocolate bars if I was I' d skip the trick o treating and buy myself a box for 10 bucks.

 

7.     Bonus: Team bonding active I have decided to take the team drunk trick or treating; Have you ever been drunk trick or treating before and who would be the first to pass out? Explain….  

No I haven't since fireworks lured me away from trick o treating when I was about 11 years old then that fizzled quickly so I was left with horror movies and delivery pizza.

1. Michael Jackson was a very interesting human. 

 

2. Logan Ninefingers. A man shows you he only has nincefingers, many people will turn and run the other way.

 

3. Monster Mash

 

4. I dressed up as a broke first time parent. Wore my regular everyday clothing so that's nice.

 

5. Give ninefingers a fake hand with 5 fingers and have him shake peoples hands as he introduces himself as ninefingers. 

 

6. I would take one. I had to do that last year cause I had a 4 day old, people only took one and they were full sized chocolate bars. Plus you get so much candy why take more

2.     On a scale of 1 – 10; how would you rank the Vancouver Wolves season so far?

 

Borderline 11

Not too bad.  Some of the lore of the VHL is pretty interesting. 

2.     On a scale of 1 – 10; how would you rank the Vancouver Wolves season so far?

8-  winning some games and having a much better season.  Unfortunately so are a lot of teams in the NA.

3.     Trade deadline is the end of the week so do you think Vancouver Wolves will make a trade?

Frank and Gaik have that down.  I am too dumb for those decisions.

4.     Out of all the Lore in the VHL; Which one do you think is the most interesting? Why?

Not sure-  

5.     Election in the USA is happening as I write this so who do you think will be the next President?

 Well...I kinda thought Trump was gonna win based on polls but nothing was certain.  Woke up today and he dominated the States he needed surprisingly.  Politics suck tho 

6.     Riddle: What kind of ship has two mates but no captain?

Friendship- (But I cheated on this one)

1. Seems good for people that have been around and know the league history. 

 

2. I'd give us an 8.8, we have done very well, it's just that so have other teams in our conference.

 

3. No we are good, don't need to do anything imo. 6 fwd's 4 d all solid, let's run it!

 

4. I have no idea cuz I don't know anything about VHL lore! lol

 

5. Ugghhh..

 

6. A sinking ship?

1. I think it was a good theme week, brought out a lot of different topics.

 

2. 7/10. Could be worse, but could be a lot better if we didn’t have 5 NA teams searching for a continental cup. 
 

3. I think we will trade for a goalie from Warsaw.

 

4. not sure if it was written about but we need Anderson to come back to write about himself.

 

5. I assumed Trump would win and he did. 
 

6. Ninefingers told me it was friendship and I believe him.

Traded deadline Chaos!!

 

Actually, love the fact that the trade deadline was full of drama this season with three trades being completed and 1 ½ of them being vetoed or potentially vetoed. Either way lets get this weeks trade deadline press conference under way as I can waffle all day and no is here for what I have to say*

 

1.     With 50% of the trades at the trade deadline being vetoed or potentially being vetoed; is 50% a passing grade or a failing grade? Explain…

 

2.     Mathematics can be very hard and one of the trades involved a mathematical issue with a team being over the cap. On a scaled of 1-10 how do you rate your math ability?

 

3.     Olober Syko comes over to Vancouver for a 4th round pick and should take over the starting duties heading towards the play-offs. What do you think about the trade overall? Explain…

 

4.     Part of the drama yesterday was maybe a member taking the Sim Hockey league a bit too seriously. So again, on a scale of 1-10 how serious do you take you Sim League hockey & why?

 

5.     Due to the rules Vancouver Wolves are in a position not to be able to meet the conditions of the trade with Warsaw and currently within the league rules cannot be punished for not meeting conditions. Should Vancouver still do everything to honor the conditions or screw over Warsaw since it was on the Warsaw GM to understand the rules?

 

6.     Part of the conversation or drama around Vancouver's pick stated that if Vancouver should win the Championship, it would be with a massive asterisks? Do you think this is fair?

 

7.     Also what is the correct spelling of Asterisk or Asterix?

7.     Also what is the correct spelling of Asterisk or Asterix?

1. It's not even 50%, there were 3 trades! 2 of them were fine so we're at 66% which is still technically a fail by american standards.

2. Uhh like a 3 I suppose, idk why they picked me for financier.

3. Well it's me! I'm happy to be back (and cursing VAN for a 3rd time) but surely this time will be different. Since I snapped my curse, maybe we can break @Beketov's curse this time.

4. I'd say like an 8 I guess, I like to win since I'm a competitive person so I'll take GM'ing stuff and running the league fairly seriously. But it's still fun in the end so I don't mind it!

5. Honestly this situation is a weird one where VAN doesn't have the picks and can easily just....not be able to make the trade. WAR knew the risk and did it anyways. However, if VAN owned the pick and traded it away so WAR couldn't get it, I think GMs would think twice about trading with VAN in the future which would be a big issue.

6. Nah that was probably only if the S99 situation happened, but it won't so there's no issue.

7. Asterisk for the punctuation, Asterix for the Gaul!

1.     With 50% of the trades at the trade deadline being vetoed or potentially being vetoed; is 50% a passing grade or a failing grade? Explain…

In the US anything below either 70% or 60% is failing....so...50% is definitely a failing grade.

 

2.     Mathematics can be very hard and one of the trades involved a mathematical issue with a team being over the cap. On a scaled of 1-10 how do you rate your math ability?

Probably a 5. I'm good at what I know, but there's a lot that I don't know!

 

3.     Olober Syko comes over to Vancouver for a 4th round pick and should take over the starting duties heading towards the play-offs. What do you think about the trade overall? Explain…

An absolute steal. I'm not even sure how we got him for a 4th rounder, but we take those any day.

 

4.     Part of the drama yesterday was maybe a member taking the Sim Hockey league a bit too seriously. So again, on a scale of 1-10 how serious do you take you Sim League hockey & why?

VERY SRS BUSINESS. I guess it depends. Most people want their player to do well, so as long as nothing is illegally preventing that from happening or going against the spirit of competition.

 

5.     Due to the rules Vancouver Wolves are in a position not to be able to meet the conditions of the trade with Warsaw and currently within the league rules cannot be punished for not meeting conditions. Should Vancouver still do everything to honor the conditions or screw over Warsaw since it was on the Warsaw GM to understand the rules?

It's on both GM's parts to understand the terms and conditions when it comes to trades. It's up to VAN to decide whether or not they wanna maintain a good relationship with WAR or not.

 

6.     Part of the conversation or drama around Vancouver's pick stated that if Vancouver should win the Championship, it would be with a massive asterisks? Do you think this is fair?

I'm gonna be honest and say I have no idea wtf is going on and the GMs/Blues can figure it out.

 

7.     Also what is the correct spelling of Asterisk or Asterix?

It's always been "asterisk," so that is my answer!

We got Syko, that’s all that counts.

 

2.     Mathematics can be very hard and one of the trades involved a mathematical issue with a team being over the cap. On a scaled of 1-10 how do you rate your math ability?

 

Borderline 11

 

3.     Olober Syko comes over to Vancouver for a 4th round pick and should take over the starting duties heading towards the play-offs. What do you think about the trade overall? Explain…

 

Glad to have him.  Didn’t realize he was taking over Soju.  

 

4.     Part of the drama yesterday was maybe a member taking the Sim Hockey league a bit too seriously. So again, on a scale of 1-10 how serious do you take you Sim League hockey & why?

 

I live and breathe VHL.  That’s all I think of.  Wake up early just to say good night to PMB.

Make it right

 

6.     Part of the conversation or drama around Vancouver's pick stated that if Vancouver should win the Championship, it would be with a massive asterisks? Do you think this is fair?

 

What size font?  A little asterisk is ok

 

7.     Also what is the correct spelling of Asterisk or Asterix?

 

yes.  Both are correct .  If you are spelling both for a reason.
