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?

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.

Frank 5,259 Posted November 4 Share Posted November 4 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.

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.

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.

Gaikoku-hito 2,135 Posted November 13 Share Posted November 13 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? @Frank@Girts@Scurvy@Thunder@Subject056@mmrs617@Gaikoku-hito@Smarch@Sawyer13@ScottyP@Kisslinger@ethan tustain@jblock3@Tetricide@Spartan Spartan 1 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/54500-vancouver-wolves-press-conference/page/57/#findComment-1043930 Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!

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?

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.

Frank 5,259 Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 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… The trades that got veto'd we're fails and the trades that were approved were passes. But the math fail by Mal and Tor was the real failure since they had quite a bit of time to look over the numbers with the delay. 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? Math class a 1. In my job as Joiner (woodworker) about a 9. In VHL I think we've been good at managing the cap and figuring out if a trade will work cap wise before we do it. 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… As the person who came up with the idea before the season even started I would say it was a brilliant move. But if Simon continues to hate goalies it might not move the needle for us. I feel like the NA playoff rounds will be a crap shoot regardless since all the teams are so close. So having the best goalie on paper might give us an edge. 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 would say this league is probably my only online hobby other than looking at hockey stuff or message boards in general. I used to play video games a bit but have since lose interest. Most of my time is spent at work and then doing tasks when I get home so coming on here for a few hours everyday is a nice break. 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? From a GM POV it's best to full fill the condition of the trade. I'm of the mantra that it's best to get deals done that benefit everyone. Ripping off other GM's will just cause distrust and make you someone the other GM's don't want to deal with. I'm definitely not perfect but I don't try to lowball or fleece teams. Even if I've been offered trades that would hurt the other team I try to avoid that to the best of my abilities. Since I don't want to see a team be crap forever because I had to get an extra pick or player out of a deal, as it ruins the experience for everyone. But it works both ways as well I want the team we're trading with to pay a fair price if they low ball me I'm less likely to negotiate with them in the future. 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 don't think so. Teams can have their opinion but Syko for a 4th is still a reasonable trade since Warsaw isn't going anywhere with their current roster and I'm sure @Spartan would rather be on a team with an active LR and a chance to win. I think the change in wording on the condition also makes it more palatable but people will have their opinions regardless. 7. Also what is the correct spelling of Asterisk or Asterix? Both iterations work based off a quick google search.

Math is hard. I'm like a 4.75 3. I think Soju was having a great season and we could have done fine with him in the playoffs, but I can understand taking the opportunity to bring in a higher tpe and build goalie to try to further increase our cup chances this season. Olober is certainly a top level goalie and star in the league who should give us a nice boost. 4. I don't take it too seriously outside of how the player and team is doing, but it's def enjoyable 5. I have no idea what happened but I'd probably consider making good on the trade, if it was in the rules 6. No way never, we are the best team and would deserve to win regardless of any situation, no asterisks, ever 7.

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? @Frank@Girts@Scurvy@Thunder@Subject056@mmrs617@Gaikoku-hito@Smarch@Sawyer13@ScottyP@Kisslinger@ethan tustain@jblock3@Tetricide@Spartan 1. 50% isn’t even a passing grade in Saskatchewan post secondary, that’s the test lol. 2. 1+1=2, quick maths 3. I think it was a good trade. Soju had a great job holding down the fort. 4. I don’t take this seriously, I do a poor job writing media spots and VHL.Don articles. 5. Yes, don’t want to screw over a team in such a small league. 6. I mean if the meta wolves don’t have the asterisk then this group should if we win.

Gaikoku-hito 2,135 Posted November 19 Share Posted November 19 End of the Season soon … 1. Crazy to think Christmas is only a month away; are you ready for Christmas or have you even started yet? 2. End of season is very soon; Where do you think Vancouver finishes in the North American standings? 3. Is there any team that you would like to play or avoid in the first round of the play-offs? 4. Vancouver already has no chance at winning the Victory Cup; is this a excellent or disappoint? Why? 5. Vancouver still has a off chance at finishing first in the NA conference but will likely need help; do you think we can catch Calgary for 1st overall? 6. WRC is coming to my backyard this weekend with the Japanese Rally; do you follow Rally racing and will you be watching the Japanese Rally this weekend? 7. Bonus: What do you call a turkey on the day after Thanksgiving? @Frank@Girts@Scurvy@Thunder@Subject056@mmrs617@Gaikoku-hito@Smarch@Sawyer13@ScottyP@Kisslinger@ethan tustain@jblock3@Tetricide@Spartan Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/54500-vancouver-wolves-press-conference/page/57/#findComment-1044385 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Tetricide 695 Posted November 26 Moderator Share Posted November 26 1. Do you look at Black Friday sales and do you take part in any of the sales? For the most part, yes! Will be taking part for only one thing for myself this weekend... Can't wait to add some nice patio furniture for my porch 2. Store or Online shopping? Which is better and why? Online shopping by a mile... Don't have to deal with the nastiness of other people at the price of convenience. 3. Any secret recipes that I should know about for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner? Cornbread dressing. My family has our own recipe and it's been amazing every time (except the time I attempted to do it and failed miserably). 4. Is cyber-Monday an actual shopping day or a thing? Absolutely. Discounted electronics in a digital world is pretty awesome. 5. Any Surprises in the play-offs so far? Which series and why? Yeah, the Wolves didn't shut out NYA! AWOOOOO let's tear 'em up in game 5. 6. Fantasy has paid out on a scale of 1-10 how did you do this season? Poorly... 4/10. I somehow forgot to submit my Super Coach team I guess... So I only got 4 TPE from VHFL. 7. Riddle: When I’m full, I make the checkout line longer. What am I? A shopping cart! Though, debatable on it being full... Could just be like 2 bulky items...

Absolutely but its a secret. 4. Is cyber-Monday an actual shopping day or a thing? Of course it is. Its for hackers 5. Any Surprises in the play-offs so far? Which series and why? Yes, i thought Vancouver would be done with New York already. 6. Fantasy has paid out on a scale of 1-10 how did you do this season? I’d have to say a 1 7.

I was dumb and bought my wife a new ipad during the pre black Friday sales. 2. Online shopping, unless a porch pirate is going in-person shopping with your online shopping 3. No secret recipes, but sweet potatoes with marshmallows is great. 4. I think its a thing, I work so I always forget to take part. Watch the ipad i bought be cheaper on cyber Monday 5. I'm surprised Seattle got swept 6. I didn't do super coach and now forgot to do playoff fantasy so not great?

Not really, but if I see or hear of any crazy deals I may check online 2. Online, no reason to leave the house 3. Put a lot of sausage in the stuffing and maybe some bacon 4. I believe it's online deals maybe on tech stuff 5. Playoffs have been great, especially for us, so no big surprises so far 6. I think I got 1 point this year, usually I finish high or win. 7.
