1. We are cursed by going 1-1 every sim. How do we get that extra win?

2. As of typing this we are tied for 5th in the league. If we are in this spot come deadline what would you want to see me do?

3. Our 2nd line is all brand new draftee's think they will pick it up before the deadline?

4. Do you like the wolves logo?

5. What are your thoughts on Gritty? @eaglesfan0366

 

6. Do you store your glasses/cups facing down or up?

 

1) By being positive of course!

2) As long as we project to make the playoffs I am all in on Vancouver, as that is what we signed up for. If we are not projected for the playoffs, I think it makes sense to trade the guys on their last season,, because that makes sense for both sides. 

3) Oh I wasn't even aware I got moved up to the first line lol. I hope they can, I wish we had one more forward around my tpe level

4) It's fine, I haven't given it much thought

5) Gritty is the greatest species that has ever graced this earth

6) I don't own a house yet, and at my mom's house we store them facing up, but at my dads they are facing down. It is the debate of the century and honestly I'm not sure what side I will take when I move out. I am thinking I will just start throwing them all in and whatever happens happens

Simple - we score more goals than our opponents!

I'm only on the team for 1 season, and there really isn't room for myself on another playoff team, so I'm always going to say "go for it".

3. Our 2nd line is all brand new draftee's think they will pick it up before the deadline?

Yes. As @ContinentalCup036 has been saying, the marginal increase of TPE at lower values is greater than at higher TPE values.

 

On 6/3/2020 at 11:04 AM, Beaviss said:

4. Do you like the wolves logo?

Yeah, overall, it's pretty good. At least a middle logo in the league. There are some I like more, and some I like less.

 

On 6/3/2020 at 11:04 AM, Beaviss said:

5. What are your thoughts on Gritty?

He's a pretty cool guy. I've played with him for a couple seasons now, and he's a good person to be around.

Face up - too annoying to put them face down.

[Garsh 1,179]

1. We are cursed by going 1-1 every sim. How do we get that extra win?

Keep our heads down (metaphorically not physically, gotta keep them on a swivel) and focus more.

2. As of typing this we are tied for 5th in the league. If we are in this spot come deadline what would you want to see me do?

Not sure, make some sort of big brain move.

3. Our 2nd line is all brand new draftee's think they will pick it up before the deadline?

I AM NOT A NEW DRAFTEE, I WAS ON THE TEAM LAST YEAR!  I don't know why no one remembers this.  Also Gritty isn't a new draftee either.  I'm sure the new guys will do fine.

4. Do you like the wolves logo?

Yes I think it's pretty good, no obvious flaws imo.

5. What are your thoughts on Gritty? @eaglesfan0366

I love Gritty and I feel we work on the ice well together, he gets angry around kids sometimes though.

 

6. Do you store your glasses/cups facing down or up?

I am a fan of the down approach to cup and glass storage.

[JeffD 648]

1. We are cursed by going 1-1 every sim. How do we get that extra win?

 

Gotta get those goals up. We simply aren't scoring enough right now.

2. As of typing this we are tied for 5th in the league. If we are in this spot come deadline what would you want to see me do?

 

I think with our current roster we need to try to get into the playoffs.

3. Our 2nd line is all brand new draftee's think they will pick it up before the deadline?

 

Hard to say. Rookies normally have a tough time with the talent level in the league.

4. Do you like the wolves logo?

 

I do. I like simple logos.

5. What are your thoughts on Gritty? @eaglesfan0366

 

Seems like a good team player and a good guy in the locker room. I really like having him on the team.

 

6. Do you store your glasses/cups facing down or up?

 

Down of course.

1. Gino has to whip some more ass, as he is obviously not whipping enough ass.

2. #ForDaCup

3. They better fucking pick it up, I am tired of looking at his point totals.

4. Yea, it's pretty cool. Not as cool as abstinence, but we all know that.

5. Who's Gritty and why is he on here this team?

6. Who doesn't store their glasses facing up? If you put them facing down, you're an absolute freak.

6. Do you store your glasses/cups facing down or up?

1. Well we've definitely shaken up the team and now we're going 0-2 every sim!

2. We've already gone rebuilding, so go all in trade away gritty and smitty if you can.

3. Yes, more minutes = better production now.

4. Its okay, around the middle for my rankings.

5. Cool dude, unfortunate he signed with us this season.

6. Down, don't want dust gathering.

1. Vancouver is one point out of a playoff spot!? Thoughts?

We'll make the playoffs, we've been doing alot better ever since lines have been mixed up and rookies earning their TPE.

2. Would you rather get the lotto pick or compete in the playoffs?

Compete in playoffs, I think we could be a dark horse to win the cup this year.

3. With the season coming to a close shortly did you hit your goals as a player?

No I expected to do a bit better. At least hit 15 or 20 points, but I guess as a low TPE rookie I can't expect much.

 

5. With the Expansion draft coming who would you hate to see unprotected?

Myself, I think VAN has a bright future and I wanna be part of it.

 

6. With the Expansion teams coming next season. Do you think LA will be a natural Vancouver Rival?

No, LA is gonna be trash. Having them as a rival would be a disappointment.

 

7. Favorite flavor of Ice Cream?

Strawberry if there's no actual chunks of strawberry in it. Otherwise mango.
 

 

[Garsh 1,179]

1. Vancouver is one point out of a playoff spot!? Thoughts?

We tried to make a run at it but were unsuccessful.  Unfortunate but I think we knew this was a possibility. 

2. Would you rather get the lotto pick or compete in the playoffs?

Tough call, you always want to play more hockey but getting a nice pick will help you make the playoffs in the future.

3. With the season coming to a close shortly did you hit your goals as a player?

I really wanted to hit 50 points but sadly fell just short.  After struggling a bit defensively i did squeak out a few more SBs this season than last season.

 

4. Who is your favorite teammate? Why?

Probably Jeff or Spyro.

 

5. With the Expansion draft coming who would you hate to see unprotected?

I think the obvious for everyone is themselves.

 

6. With the Expansion teams coming next season. Do you think LA will be a natural Vancouver Rival?

Maybe one day, I think we will be much better than them next season.

 

7. Favorite flavor of Ice Cream?

Hmm I duno, if we are talking just ice cream you can find anywhere probably cookies and cream.  I love Blizzards from DQ, so many good choices.

[Matmenzinger 167]

1. Vancouver is one point out of a playoff spot!? Thoughts?

Thought we would inch out Toronto there but I guess it wasn't meant to be. 

2. Would you rather get the lotto pick or compete in the playoffs? I would have rather been in the playoffs honestly. I'm a season away from retirement and would like to go out with another cup win.

3. With the season coming to a close shortly did you hit your goals as a player?

Maybe not as close to a point per game as I would have liked, but overall cant really complain.

 

 

5. With the Expansion draft coming who would you hate to see unprotected? I don't really know the team that well but hopefully all of the younger guys are safe. I'd  rather end up going somewhere else for my last season, as opposed to breaking up the young core.

 

6. With the Expansion teams coming next season. Do you think LA will be a natural Vancouver Rival?

I think with how we battled it out with Toronto for a playoff spot, we have our rivals right there. 

 

7. Favorite flavor of Ice Cream?

Matcha for sure. 

[JeffD 648]

1. Vancouver is one point out of a playoff spot!? Thoughts?

 

I am sad with how this season ended, a disappointment at this point of my career.

2. Would you rather get the lotto pick or compete in the playoffs?

 

Always playoffs. 100%.

3. With the season coming to a close shortly did you hit your goals as a player?

 

I was on pace for a much better year and really slowed down towards the end. Finishing top 10 in defensive scoring was cool to see though.

 

4. Who is your favorite teammate? Why?

 

Gotta be Spyro. He brings a lot of energy to the locker room.

 

5. With the Expansion draft coming who would you hate to see unprotected?

 

Same as above, Spyro. He is very important to our team.

 

6. With the Expansion teams coming next season. Do you think LA will be a natural Vancouver Rival?

 

I guess it depends how it comes together. Hard to declare a rival before the season has even begun.

 

7. Favorite flavor of Ice Cream?

 

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough.

1. Heartbreaking that we couldn’t make it.

2. I feel like we wouldn’t have done well in the playoffs anyway, but I still would have rather been there to compete.

3. I feel I tried my best but couldn’t perform as well as I had hoped at the beginning of the season. So short answer: No.

4. I love all of our Defense as the teams goalie should, so no sleight to to anyone but I got lots of love and respect for our team Captain Jeff, and I would say Garsh and Fong have been fantastic in the LR as well.

5. God I would hate to see anyone go unprotected, I feel like whoever we lose it will be a big hit to our team's morale. If I was sent away I would be pretty sad too as I absolutely love being the Starter for the Wolves.

7. Half-baked Brownie is always a nice treat once in a while. 

[Beaviss 4,957]

1. With the Draft lotto now done what are your thoughts on the players around #3?

 

2. How do you think the Wolves will do next season?

3. With the expansion draft coming up do you think the Wolves are in a good place if they lose a roster player?

4. We just hired @Emi as our AGM! Thoughts on the hiring?
 

5. What are your plans for the off season?

6. If the Wolves management team could improve on something what would it be?

 

7. What show are you binge watching right now?

[Emi 229]

1. What are looking for too next season?
2. How much do you think we'll improve?
3. Are you playing any games?
4. What would you do if you controlled the team?
5. What is your favourite colour?
6. Who is your favourite VHLM team and why?

6. Who is your favourite VHLM team and why?

1. I pretty much just want to close my career out on a good note. If I can match this past seasons point totals that would be great. 

 

2. I think we'll be in a similar situation to Moscow, our young core is going to be better and I think they'll carry us further than expected.

 

3. I've just been replaying Death Stranding lately. 

 

4. Lol there's a reason I don't apply for agm/gm jobs. 

 

5. Grey (strange, I know.)

 

6. I have a soft spot for Philly from my time spent on the Reapers.

1. With the Draft lotto now done what are your thoughts on the players around #3?

For our team's needs the 3rd overall player is a huge step down from the top 2, especially since I believe we want a D man.

 

2. How do you think the Wolves will do next season?
Make playoffs as 3rd in our conference, and lose in the second round.

3. With the expansion draft coming up do you think the Wolves are in a good place if they lose a roster player?

Yes, I don't think losing any unprotected player this year will be a huge thing. We'd at most lose a developing depth piece.

4. We just hired @Emi as our AGM! Thoughts on the hiring?
I don't know them that well, but looking forward to see how they pan out.

 

5. What are your plans for the off season?

Couple of drinks on Miami beach and some golf.

 

7. What show are you binge watching right now?

Just started Breaking Bad, pretty good so far.

4. I have no clue

5. red

6. Minnesota because I was there for two seasons

1. Hopefully I’ll be on top of my game, and it’s been a very long time waiting to get to this point so I’m very excited.

2. I doubt we will be a top team for a while, but I’m hoping we can reach the playoffs again.

3. Playing through some Dragon Age 2 from my DA: Origins import save, then I may move onto DA: Inquisition with this import save after  Also lots of online YuGiOh to get ready for the World Tournament!

4. Only thing I would have changed, was giving me more games in the past seasons. Aside from something that cannot be changed because it’s in the past, I feel the team is in good hands and I have faith in our management.

5. Red/Blue/Purple

6. I have a history with the Hounds so I do love the team, but I have history and greater ties to the Lynx as they are the team I currently AGM and they were the first team I ever joined.

2. Always play in the playoffs.

3. Yeah, just wanted to get ANOTHER good season.

4. Berocka, he is the best.

5. I do not care Seattle will be amazing forever.

6. No, Chicago is better.

[Garsh 1,179]

1. With the Draft lotto now done what are your thoughts on the players around #3?

I haven't really looked at who is available tbh.  I'm sure someone good is available though!

 

2. How do you think the Wolves will do next season?

I think we will do a little better than this season, i wouldn't be surprised to see us make it into playoffs with a low seed.

3. With the expansion draft coming up do you think the Wolves are in a good place if they lose a roster player?
I think we have a good core and will be sad to see someone go, but these things happen.  

4. We just hired @Emi as our AGM! Thoughts on the hiring?

I don't really know them, but I'm sure it will be great!
 

5. What are your plans for the off season?

My usual off season routine is to row on the many lakes of Finland and continue work on my sci-fy book series "Atlantis Rises"

 

7. What show are you binge watching right now?
I've been watching the new She-Ra and the Princesses of Power on netflix.

[Emi 229]

AGM Question time!

1) What is your players number? Why did you choose that number?

 

2) You're player has to leave ice hockey for some reason to play another sport. What Sport do you leave too and why?
 

3) What meal does your player have to celebrate?

4) Who's the biggest clown in the locker room?

5) Who takes charge of the playlist in your locker room? What do they play?

6) VHL 73 is about to come out and who's on the cover? Does this cause them to have the curse?

 

7) You're making a fantasy team. Who's on it? 3 forwards, 2 Defenders and a goalie go!

Edited July 13, 2020 by Emi

[Garsh 1,179]

1) What is your players number? Why did you choose that number?

I'm not too picky about my number, currently I have 14.

 

2) You're player has to leave ice hockey for some reason to play another sport. What Sport do you leave too and why?

Chess, much easier on the body.
 

3) What meal does your player have to celebrate?

Pizza or pasta or tacos!

4) Who's the biggest clown in the locker room?

It might be me, maybe spyro.

5) Who takes charge of the playlist in your locker room? What do they play?
I'll take charge, I'll play all sorts of stuff.  Lately I have been listning to a lot of random synth-wave mixes around differnt topcs (cyber-punk, space, etc).  Also some favorite bands right now are Startset and Smash into Pieces.

6) VHL 73 is about to come out and who's on the cover? Does this cause them to have the curse?

I think it would have to be Condor Adrienne @OrbitingDeath gracing the cover.  No, scientists discovered a cure for the curse around VHL 67.

[Matmenzinger 167]

1) What is your players number? Why did you choose that number? 24 because I've always gone with whatever age I am.

 

2) You're player has to leave ice hockey for some reason to play another sport. What Sport do you leave too and why?
Tocco would definitely try his hand at mma. The mma scene in The Czech Republic has been growing lately.

 

3) What meal does your player have to celebrate?
Definitely Pizza.

4) Who's the biggest clown in the locker room?
Honestly I'm not sure. I tend to keep to myself most of the time. 

5) Who takes charge of the playlist in your locker room? What do they play? I'm usually wearing headphones unless the coach is talking to us. I have a pretty odd taste in music.

6) VHL 73 is about to come out and who's on the cover? Does this cause them to have the curse? Jet Jaguar is gracing the cover, and nah the guy is a stud.
