2. As an offensive player obviously points and power play points but I also am looking at plus/minus and blocked shots.

3. Ah, can't think of one

4. Probably not watching but it'd be cool to see the Chiefs get a three-peat.

5. Geography, Band, Computer Science

6. do you play any instruments or are there any you would like to learn?

1. Among defensemen, I was 9th in scoring (51 points), 3rd in shots (195) and T-2nd in powerplay assists (17). I was T-4th in powerplay assists and T-7th in powerplay points in the league.  

2. The Las Vegas Aces

3. I'll pick the surprise teams - Toronto and Las Vegas. More logical choices: Riga and Halifax.

4. Canucks runs to the Stanley Cup Finals, 1994 and 2011 

5. Not really

6. Play a few (drums, piano, bit of trumpet, mandolin, bass). Would like to learn guitar better, steel drums, uilleann pipes.

6. There is going to be a vacation for the team to celebrate the Founders Cup, where do you want everyone to go and why?

1. Winning the Cup obviously was the best moment but a couple other favorites was beating Miami in the first round when we were complete underdogs and my Game 5 performance when I had 2 goals and assisted on the OT winner to give us the 3-2 win and series lead.

 

2. Awesome! This is my fourth Founder's Cup and second with Vegas and it never gets old. This one was especially sweet as it was more unexpected.

 

3. Have to say OCO. Our defense was good but 5 shutouts?? Two shutouts in series clinching games?? C'mon, it's a no brainer. Satou was brilliant as well but I think OCO has the edge.

 

4. Enjoying the win but refocusing and getting trained up for next season.

 

5. Ceson first as the captain but then OCO.

 

6. Let's go European! Italy, Portugal, something like that.

 

Probably my last LV presser for a while. Thanks @Big_Dyl for all the great questions!

1. I'm honestly looking forward to playing every team.  I got a little taste of the league last season with my short San Diego stint, but Boing went pointless so I'm trying to forget it happened!  So blank slate, every team is my rival.

2. I joined the Pro-Am and WJC tournaments, they were a lot of fun to get some more time for Boing.  Though I think he went pointless again!  But my teams had some success so it was fun.

3. So far it means good vibes, enjoying the music league and questions of the day (when people aren't being pedantic about what to bring on road trips!).  Hopefully we'll add some winning to the mix when the season starts.

4. I'll say playing drums.  I played a bit when I was in high school but never was very good.  It seems like a lot of bands in my area need drummers so it would be easy to play a lot, maybe do some studio stuff.

5. Growing up my dad was a big Red Wings fan so watching games on tv and going to games in person with him got me hooked.  Then starting to play really solidified it.

6. Brad Marchand, he seems like an awesome dude off the ice and pretty funny.  Steve Yzerman so I could hear all the stories from his playing days (Halloween parties especially) and then talk about his vision for the Wings.  Wayne Gretzky so I can push his dumbass into the ocean.

1.  Hell ya we can!  It is super early in the season and not time to panic!  We've had some good wins already too, so if we keep stacking tpe and stay consistent (marathon not a sprint) we are going to make some noise

2. I feel like the league as a whole has been pretty helpful, it is very nice that there are a lot of people around willing to help and answer questions.  I do have a how to earn tpe thread bookmarked which is really helpful, so maybe that could be pinned somewhere in the newcomers' section in the discord?

3. I'm hoping to have team success with a good group of people.  I feel like if the team is doing well and I'm enjoying myself in the locker room then personal success for Boing will come too.  But even if it doesn't, team success makes up for it!  Selfishly I want him to hit a lot of people and chip in points when he can.

4. Oh man it is too early on a Monday to try to use my brain like this....Gordie Howe played in the NHL before Bobby Orr was born and was playing in it after Orr retired

5. Atlanta Thrashers because their jerseys were fun

6. Very tough question....some of my favorites are Snatch, Supertroopers, Grandma's Boy, Euro Trip, Saving Private Ryan....tough to decide.  Most of the time it is my favorite comedy's from when I was younger!

1. We sure can and are turning it around! Everyone else is going to underestimate us and I believe, especially with the waivers that we SHOULD get later in the season, that we'll be just fine.
2. I imagine there's a lot- I don't think locker rooms as a whole are active enough and I think the league could benefit with some more handholding for new players, teaching them how things work. More forum content in general is something I see as necessary.

3. I aim to end my career as the greatest player in D.C. Dragons history, which I shockingly think is possible if they keep me my whole career. I imagine that would have me in the HoF as well if I was to reach that level.

4. Idk how obscure this is, but I love this fact: there is a point on earth called Point Nemo which is a 'pole of inacessibility'. It's so far in the Pacific that it is generally closer to the people aboard the ISS than to any other people on Earth.
5. Whalers please, awesome branding, awesome goal song, awesome fans.
6. Favorite movie is the Sound of Music due to the unmatched nostalgia for it I have. I just watched it a lot as a kid and the music has made its mark on me.
