For week ending 12/1 Answer 3 questions for 1 TPE, or all 6 for 2 TPE!

1. Are there any teams your following or rooting for in the playoffs ?

2.Is there anything in the offseason that you are excited for?

3. Is there anything you plan on doing differently next season?

4. Everyone has their favorite NHL team but whos your backup team?

5. Are there any books you've read recently that you've really liked or what's your favorite book of all time?

6. Who was the first band that you would say you were a die hard fan of?

1. I'm cheering for Halifax, Lucy was my JST GM and was a big help in getting used to the league in the first place, hoping she can get a cup.

2. Probably the VHLM draft, can't wait for new teammates.

3. Probably not, other than (hopefully) putting up more numbers.

4. The Dallas Stars are my backup, honestly only because of the green Jersey's, green is my favorite color.

5. My favorite book of all time is easily: Nevermoor: the trials of Morrigan Crow. Such a good read for fantasy lovers.

6. Probably The Score, I used to listen to a lot of alternative and they were definitely my favorite in the genre.

6. Who was the first band that you would say you were a die hard fan of?

 

1. I always have a soft spot for former teams, so the season, the Hounds as I played with them last season, and Malmo and Calgary as former teammate Bobby Bob is making a Cup run with the Wranglers.

 

2. The VHL Draft and which ever tournaments are coming (JST?) and getting some VSN work done.

 

3. I'd definitely like to do better overall but especially produce more offense.

 

4. OK, I'm a fan of Ovi so the Capitals and I've been a fan of Nashville since they've entered the league.

 

5. A few of my favorites are the Lord of the Rings (JRR Tolkien), Legend (David Gemmell), Blood Song (Anthony Ryan).

 

6. DC Talk -

5. Who is your favorite sports related content creator?

6. What's your favorite season of the year?

1. Yes, I will be in the upcoming draft. I'm fine with any team - there are quite a few I haven't played for yet with previous players. I've only had one team reach out to me though so we'll see what happens.

2. Few ideas... have an award each for the best offensive and defensive defenseman like the VHL. Or a Top Prospect Award like the CHL. Or a "Best Teammate" award for locker room involvement to promote active players.

3. I would relocate the Houston Bulls. They haven't had much playoff success in their history and the name "Bulls" is pretty genenric. I think it's time for a fresh start. To even out the Canadian teams, I would move it to Victoria, BC (to stay in the Western Conference) and I'd call them the Victoria Vistas or Valor.

4. Reading and writing

5. I think right now, the 32 Thought Podcast crew. Always good stuff.

6. Autumn. Not too hot, not too cold. Some holidays and the start of egg nog and pumpkin!

5. what was your pre game meal before the season opener?

6. what's your players preferred brand of hockey equipment?

1. Well I was very happy to have been drafted to LVA, it's a storied franchise that my agency has been deeply involved in historically. So I'm just glad to be here and hope to contribute!

2. I think if we can develop a bit more offensively, a deep playoff run definitely isn't something to write off. Defensively and with respect to goaltending, the back end might be the best in the M. We just need the whole team to click.

3. I wouldn't be surprised to see some potential mid-season adds via trade for forward help if the team remains in the top 5 after another week or two of games. Really depends on how we continue to perform to determine the direction the team takes, whether the team sells players to stronger contenders or decides to go all in with the defensive juggernaut we have brewing!

4. I'm honestly not much of a tea or coffee guy really, I'd take a nice sparkling water though. Either just plain carbonated water or something from Sparkling Ice.

5. Jeez think I had a nice fish and chips dinner that day, Saturday right? Probably not the best pre-game meal but it was a comfort meal with family so it hit the spot.

6. I generally prefer Warrior, I always used their gear in chel too since I thought it looked neater but CCM also has some pretty good stuff.

1. Watching Onyekachukwu Chidieber Oluwaseun stop the puck. He'll give us a chance to win every night.

2. Hopefully we can stay in a playoff spot but we've got to score more.

3. We're very good defensively and in goal which should be strong enough to get us to the playoffs but we need more scoring.

4. I don't necessarily have a favorite brand but I would say Earl Grey is my favorite style.

5. Fried salmon, risotto, salad with some ice cream for dessert.

6. Uh, don't really have one.

6. if you could choose any group activity to do with the team what would it be?

1. It's weird not seeing the Reapers and Hounds near the top of their conference but looking at the rosters, the Reapers don't have much talent right now and the Hounds could be doing better if not for their goalie situation.

2. Offense - specifically from the forwards. Pure and simple. We've now been shut out two of the last four games. Four of the team's top five scorers are defensemen. 

3. Onyekachukwu Chidieber Oluwaseun has been keeping us near the top with a decent goal differential as they try to backstop the lowest-scoring team in the M. 

4. November 1st - Egg Nog Day

5. FF Toadly

6. We're in Vegas, right? With all the casinos we should... go streaking down the strip!

1. I think we’ve turned some heads and have more left in the tank, could easily be an underdog for the season.

2. We’ve lost a lot of overtime games, if we could either close the games out in regulation or just get that final goal then we would be much better.

3. Our goalie has been putting up some stellar numbers, with their support in net they definitely have been our most important player.

4. I would definitely create an all you can eat day during November where every restaurant has a set price for all you can eat food.

5. Fatfuck definitely, I mean look at him. He’s awesome.

6. I’d love to see the team play poker, gotta see everyone’s pokerface so I know how to whoop them.
