S100 Hype

 

1.     Return of old names as the VHL heads towards S100; who was the most surprising name that you have seen? Why?

 

 

2.     Trade deadline is over and Vancouver made a final move to collect Eno Velvson, what are your thoughts of the trade?

 

 

3.     Heading towards the Playoffs; how do you think Vancouver will finish the season? Give me a placement 1-5?

 

 

4.     Since we all know Playoff is all the maters on a scale of 1-10; how do you like our chances? Explain if you can…

 

 

5.     Over/under: Vancouver Wolves will have two players with 100pts or more? Why?

 

 

6.     B-VAN G2 (VAN) has been playing great this week; do we have a goaltender controvery?

 

 

7.     Bonus: How did you find the league?

 

@Tim Robinson@Scurvy@NineIQ v2@Gaikoku-hito@Smarch@Thunder @Oldhead91@xsjack@Masu Chan@Frank@Nykonax

1. Old members have come back? That's cool, i'll have to go look in the create a player thread. 

 

2. Trades are nice if they help win a cup.

 

3. I believe we will finish 4th.

 

4. Once your in the playoffs, its a different game, so we have just as good of a chance as anyone else in the playoffs. 

 

5. Over, I think we will have 3 players with 100 pts or more.

 

6. Yes, Soju bad, Van G2 good.

6.     Do you want to play in the Wildcard round or avoid it?

1. Yeah he's having a career year although half of it has been inflated on Chicago, but he's still performing here.
2. Put up 30 goals, he hasn't done that in his career ever.
3. The +/- isn't great but hopefully goes up.
4. I mean ideally Vancouver but I'm not sure that's possible. I guess Helsinki, haven't seen them be good in a while
5. Seed 2 I guess, I hope we don't fall to wildcard.
6. Some people have said playing in it is good for morale, but I don't think that's true. I think the less you have to win the better

[Thunder 1,325]

1.     Has your player lived up to the expectations that you had set for him this season?

 

Absolutely not.  Bollos is supposed to be blocking shots so that Soju doesn’t have to.  Bollos is supposed to be hitting opponents so they fear the Wolves, and he isnt doing that.  All the assists Bollos gets is are easy because Bollos is surrounded by goal scoring machines.

 

2.     What was the most impressive thing that your player did this season?

 

Bollos is leading the team in penalties and that indicates that he is at least not afraid to create chaos, but that is not very impressive…

 

3.     What was the most disappoint thing that your player did this season?

 

Bollos is a big dumb thug and is supposed to drop the gloves frequently, instead he lets others drop the gloves for him and defend the team for him.  

 

4.     Who do you want to win the Victory Cup? Why?

 

It doesnt matter who wins the Victory Cup, but I wouldnt mind the team I predicted to win it so I get at least 1 tpe out of it.  But I dont remember what that team is.

 

5.     Who do you want to play in the first round?

 

It doesnt really matter who is our victim in the first round because it will be a dominating effort by the wolves.  Playoff hockey baby.

 

6.     Do you want to play in the Wildcard round or avoid it?

 

Sure, I dont mind playing the wildcard because it gets us prepped for the other teams and we are going to crush them all so lets get started!

 

[BOOM 9,136]

1.     Has your player lived up to the expectations that you had set for him this season?

 

Odin Tordahl was the only player I've had that met expectations...the rest of my guys have been garbage.

 

 

2.     What was the most impressive thing that your player did this season?

 

Ha, good one...I'm still waiting for something impressive.

 

 

3.     What was the most disappoint thing that your player did this season?

 

Got his ass handed to him in a brawl recently...my parents called to tell me not to come home for easter.

 

 

4.     Who do you want to win the Victory Cup? Why?

 

Calgary..because they deserve it and I'm a selfish son of a bitch.

 

 

5.     Who do you want to play in the first round?

 

We will take on anyone...the pony's are not scared.

 

 

6.     Do you want to play in the Wildcard round or avoid it?

 

Avoid it at all costs...if SimonT senses an opportunity to screw you, the wildcard is the perfect setting.

@Scurvy@NineIQ v2@Gaikoku-hito@Smarch@Thunder @Oldhead91@xsjack@Masu Chan@Frank@Nykonax

1. I was hoping to hit the 100 point mark again this season and thanks to a re-sim and not my poor start I won't. However, I would be a fool to be too disappointed with a 40 plus goal season. 

 

2. A third straight 40 goal season, especially for my history of poor performing and low TPE players. 

 

3. Not lead our team to a better place in the standings. 

 

4. Seattle. Cause fuck em. Give them the curse. 

 

5. Doesn't matter who we face, we have underperformed all season and it's time to start playing to our potential in the playoffs.

 

6. Bring on the wildcard, lets use the wildcard to start our playoff run.

@Scurvy@NineIQ v2@Gaikoku-hito@Smarch@Thunder @Oldhead91@xsjack@Masu Chan@Frank@Nykonax

1: I was hoping for a 60+ point season or at least to have a positive plus/minus. I would say my player let me down But let's hope I can make up for my performance in the playoffs.

 

2: Reaching some career milestones like 400 points and 1000 blocked shots.

 

3: I think the plus/minus being negative is the most disappointing. I was expecting better.

 

4: Gonna assume this means besides us. I'll go with Davos since my first player played for them.

 

5: I believe Seattle is the reigning champion team so might as well have S96 vs S97.

 

6: I wanna play in the Wildcard. It gives my player an opportunity to have more playoff points.

[Gaikoku-hito 2,351]

1.     Has your player lived up to the expectations that you had set for him this season?

Not even close!! I was hoping he would have built on last season with a 50 - 50 -100 season but I guess last season was more of an outlier with a heavy emphases on the "Lairs" part!! I would be hopeful for a bounce back next season but his average suggest that he is 30 -40 - 70 type of player; which I guess isn`t bad if he was 900TPE build!!

 

2.     What was the most impressive thing that your player did this season?

I guess 30 goals and at least a point per game player!! Actually increase in Shot Blocked & hits as I am trying to build a him into a two-way forward. He is good but maybe not the best or one of the best in the league. He should have stayed more of goal scoring build; but hey the damage is done!!

 

3.     What was the most disappoint thing that your player did this season?

Not hitting 50-50-100 as that really has been my goal for him since he came close in VHLE and came close again last season. I will be extremely happy if I have a player hit 50-50-100 and might retire him on the spot!!!

 

4.     Who do you want to win the Victory Cup? Why?

I am leaning towards the Bears since I hope the curse hits again but Moscow would be funny as well if they claim the Victory cup and lose in the first round to Davos or London; London would be funnier!!

 

5.     Who do you want to play in the first round?

Doesn`t matter since we should be able to beat who ever we play and we have to beat who ever we play to win the cup!! That being said I think Seattle or Toronto will be the tougher outs these playoffs, so rather have them in the second round or 1st round if we play in the wildcard.

 

6.     Do you want to play in the Wildcard round or avoid it?

Wildcard 110% of the time as I am a believer!! Yup, I believe STHS gives a morale boost to the team that wins the Wildcard so they start with an advantage starting the second round for at least the first two games. It still depends on results of the first two games in the next round if the team coming from the wildcard will carry it even further then the first two games. Win equal boosted morale so win a series (boost) and win the next two games (boost). I think morale means more then a lot give it credit. So I want the boost!!

1. Not really but looks like we have a nice playoff run ahead so not complaining
2. I had a postivie +/- 
3. Didn't score as much as I would have liked to
4. I think it's obvious
5. Doesn't matter, we'll be ready for them
6. Doesn't matter again, more games for us to dominate

[Gaikoku-hito 2,351]

Yeah, Playoffs!!  

What we are done already? 

What the F!!

 

1.     So how do you feel now that we have been eliminated by New York Americans in the Wildcard round?

 

2.     Who do you think will win the Continental Cup this season now that it clearly won`t be us? Why?

 

3.     Will you even pay attention to the rest of the Playoffs? Why or why not?

 

4.     What changes do you think we need to make to be more competitive next season?

 

5.     What are you going to do to get ready for next season so we don`t get bounced so early?

 

6.     Any player that Vancouver Wolves should draft in the S99 draft?

1. I guess I'm disappointed, however I still have a few more seasons left in the VHL so I'm not too worried
2. I always believe
3. I'll probably check in every now and then, won't bring out the magnifying glass though.
4. My player had a down year so maybe find someone who can help get me back to my 40 point pace!
5. I'll keep upgrading my players scoring so I can turn into a true sniper
6. I trust that our GM will make a good decision, any pick he makes will be the best one!

[Thunder 1,325]

1.     So how do you feel now that we have been eliminated by New York Americans in the Wildcard round?

 

What?  We are eliminated?  I didnt realize that.  I thought there would be a re-sim to get us back in the playoffs.  Now I’m crushed.  We didnt seem to have the playoff hockey mentality this season, so it didnt surprise me how we got beaten by NY.  Ugh.  Hate it.

 

2.     Who do you think will win the Continental Cup this season now that it clearly won`t be us? Why?

 

I’m not sure that it really matters now since Vancouver is no longer in the running.  I would only want the teams I selected for some TPE, otherwise it makes absolutely no difference.  I know… its selfish of me.

 

3.     Will you even pay attention to the rest of the Playoffs? Why or why not?

 

I will pay attention to the playoffs, only because i like this league and enjoy seeing what happens to the teams.

 

4.     What changes do you think we need to make to be more competitive next season?

 

I think we were plenty competitive.  We have the best goalie in the league.  We have the top forwards in the league.  If anything our top TPE earning defender is shit.

 

5.     What are you going to do to get ready for next season so we don`t get bounced so early?

 

I’m going to take a look at the TPE and where to strategically place it to get things back to balance.  Symmetry is key.

 

6.     Any player that Vancouver Wolves should draft in the S99 draft?

 

I cant remember who it is but I know there is someone we need to get so he’s ready for season 100.  It’s time to shine.

1. Unfortunately the whole season was a let down and the playoffs were the same. Time to re-tool for next season and hopefully I am still on the roster and can get up back to the promise land. 

 

2. Who cares?

 

3. See question #2 response. 

 

4. Likely need to bring in some rookie contracts if we want to keep as many of the 6 million contracts. 

 

5. Gonna keep grinding banking TPE to have the same stats again. The stats appear to be working for me the last few seasons. 

 

6. Any one that has over 400 TPE and can contribute right away on a rookie contract.

Rough!  Simon this year had it out for us. Could never really get it clicking at same time.  BUT, we have an off-season to prepare and get back in next season

 

2.     Who do you think will win the Continental Cup this season now that it clearly won`t be us? Why?

New York, @Girts gonna kill everyone on his way to a Championship.

3.     Will you even pay attention to the rest of the Playoffs? Why or why not?

Yeah I will a bit, simply to ward off boredom.  

 

4.     What changes do you think we need to make to be more competitive next season?

Kick Ninefingers in the Nuts to pick up his game.  lol. I am not sure at all. Maybe some scoring depth or defensive help. I'm clueless

 

5.     What are you going to do to get ready for next season so we don`t get bounced so early?

I am currently working on scouting emails for Miami for draft.  Gonna hit the gym and look into some new procedure to attach a cadaver finger got NInefinger's missing one. Maybe it will help his shooting accuracy. 

 

6.     Any player that Vancouver Wolves should draft in the S99 draft?

YES!!!  Miami defender Chase Breeze @C-Breeze.  This kid a beauty in the locker room and on the ice.  LR presence alone makes him 1OA material and he earns and mentors already.  Any team that sleeps on him, will regret It. Also @Kisslinger new player at forward.  Stud in the making there too and Kiss is a Cup winning machine!

@Scurvy@NineIQ v2@Gaikoku-hito@Smarch@Thunder @Oldhead91@xsjack@Masu Chan@Frank@Nykonax

1: Bummed out. I had 7 points, if we made it past them I could've had a legendary run.

 

2: New York is looking good and it'd feel better if we lost to the cup winning team.

 

3: I think so. I want to know who wins and I typically cheer for Davos since my first player played with them. We'll see how much I pay attention after they're out.

 

4: I think we got to a slow start not having enough players in those first few games. Just need to start hot and hopefully have a full roster from game 1.

 

5: I'm preparing to buy Old But Not Forgotten for my final season which will leave me close to 700TPA.

 

6: Drafting Zara Wolf would be funny but out of the range. Veiner Schnitzel would be a solid option, Spaz and I are pretty cool and I think he's more so in the range of our picks.
