Las Vegas Aces Press Conference

For week ending 10/20 Answer 3 questions for 1 TPE, or all 6 for 2 TPE!

1. What do you think the teams goal for the season should be?

2.  What was your player up to in the offseason?

3. what team are you most excited to play against this year?

4. What is your favorite TPE task to complete?

5. What kind of car does your player drive?

6. if the team was going out to dinner what style of restaurant would you want to go to?

1. The cup has to be the goal this year,  coming up one game short last year of it makes it all the more reason for us to go on and win it!

 

2. I started by moving to las Vegas after the draft and getting settled in to my new home. Once I was settled down I went and met the GM's, coach's, teammates, and other staff. But I was also doing the JST with the steel.

 

3. The two biggest for me would definitely be the Reapers and the 21st, the Reapers of course being the cup final from S95 so there's definitely a big rivalry there. But the 21st is more a game for me, playing against technically my first GM because of the steel in the JST.

1. Well, we're currently 3rd in the league so you can't complain about that. Most of our losses have been fairly close. We have to stay consistent as a the standings are tight.

 

2. Jagger Bomb Jr hasn't looked out of place in his 10 games and Magni Jinn has really sparked the offense since they're arrival.

 

3. Saskatoon Wild is the obvious choice here and then it's between Miami and Halifax. Miami has the stronger team on paper but Halifax has better goaltending. 

 

4. Hmmm, I'm going to say The Bourne Identity. 

 

5.

 

6. Nope, not unless I start putting some points on the board!

5. What's your players favorite fast food chain?

6. what's your go to opener in rock paper scissors?

 

1. I think we need to find something to spark the offense which is in the bottom half of the league and especially our power play which is 7th in the league. We also need start better as only two teams in the M have scored less than our 18 first period goals.

 

2. Not really. I expected a fair bit of parity this season and with the occasional outlier, the standings are fairly even.

 

3. I'm doing both but haven't had a chance to check in on their progress.

 

4. Hmmmm. Let the Sparks Fly by Thousand Foot Krutch would be a good one.  

 

5. Wendy's

 

6. Rock

1. Just waiting for the shoe to drop here in Vegas. Something's not working. I'm actually surprised at the lack of trades.

2. I like it! I'm always into digging up VHL history (hence why I'm a VSN History Writer).

3. I'm happy to see my former Hounds teammate (albeit briefly) Slava Kovalenko doing well.

4. Maybe red for hearts/diamonds and gold to match a face card - almost reverse of the Golden Knight alt jerseys

5. Transformers One and the new Lord of the Rings shows.

6. I grew up playing cribbage with my Mom. But Spit/Speed is fun too and Scum/President

6. what hobbies other than the VHL have you been up to recently?

1. I don't know if it makes us better. It's more of just a different mix. We didn't get younger and the picks aren't great so it didn't really help us for the future. 

 

2. I've enjoyed reading some of the Theme Week "Lore" articles. Brought back lots of memories.

 

3. Really any of the playoff teams have a chance. I guess Philadelphia would be the favorite but we've beat them a couple of times this season so they're definitely beatable.

 

4. I can just imagine Captain Puck Sparrow being the mascot of the Miami Marauders. That would be pretty cool.

 

5. Couple of things immediately come to mind - the Dairyland (?) Dutch Chocolate Milk drink boxes. That was the best chocolate milk, so thick and chocolatey! Also, Spicy Chicken pizza at Boston Pizza - so good!

 

6. I play board/video games with my kids. I'm getting back into ball hockey. I'm in the process of interviewing an author for my Facebook fan group.

6. is there any one piece of sports memorabilia that is like the holy grail to you that you would like to have?

1. I think it's just a weird coincidence of the VHLE dispersion. It is bizarre that the last team in the East would be the top team in the West. It will be interesting to see how things shake out next season.

 

2. I'm going to assume this should read "haven't done". I've pretty much done everything except record my own podcast as I've been a guest on someone else's once before. I might find it easier to talk about stuff than write about it depending on the subject.

 

3. Win more? Joking aside, and maybe Sadie was doing a lot of this already but if not, experiment with the sliders more. I don't know how much difference that would make but I think next year will be better.

 

4. Alright. The Canucks are still in a playoff spot but they've lost to some teams they should have beaten and they been really slow at getting into the game early. Once they get healthy, especially Demko, I expect things to get better.

 

5. So many but for general entrances, Phenomenon by Thousand Foot Krutch

 

6. A Pavel Bure rookie card or signed Bure Canucks #10 jersey.

1. OTTAWA ALL THE WAY BABY please please win game 7 tomorrow

2. I'm excited to talk to a bunch of new people leading up to the draft and obviously the draft itself will be fun.

3. As that was my first season as GM, I definitely will be adjusting they way I do things, both in how I interview/handle the offseason and also how I look at players around the league because it is so different after the merger.
4. Montreal first, Edmonton second, Carolina third
5. Project Hail Mary is one I really suggest reading, it's by Andy Weir (the guy who wrote The Martian); Abraham Verghese's The Covenant of Water was great too. Also finished @KaleebtheMighty's book The Fates of Rebels and Men last month and really enjoyed it!

6. Gotta be Coldplay, I grew very attached to that music from an early age.
