1. I mean, seems pretty solid to me! You got me to join, so that's a plus

 

2. Yes, I'm really excited to be here. Twists is a homie on another team with me in a different league, so I'm extra hype to be here. 

 

3. Well I was not here to see it, but from what I've heard Miami got some solid players. 

 

4. I mean that's what teammates are for, right?

 

5. I just want to grow consistently. I'm not expecting to be the best immediately, but I do want to get to the highest level in this league and stay there. 

 

6. I really enjoy writing. I've been in a slump for a little while, though, so maybe some new content with a new sport and new league will help me out!

7/20 - 7/26

 

1. This week marks the start of the VHLM season, who would you like to be your linemates?

2. On a weirdness scale where would you rate your GM @Spartan from 1 to 10?

3. How have you adjusted to life now living in Las Vegas?

4. What is your definition of "winning" when it comes to hockey and the VHLM?

5. What is your hot take for this VHLM season?

6. There's 2 minutes left in a hockey game and you're the top line center. You know you're probably going to have to play about 1:30 of that 2 minutes, but you have to take a dump really really bad. What's the move?

I'm not claiming any of this for TPE but I saw the last question and had to answer these lmfao

 

1. I will definitely try to take these responses into consideration, so speak freely!

2. Like....a 4?

3. Outside the city, it's pretty chill ngl. Nice place to live.

4. I think the VHLM and the VHL have different standards of "winning." If I can be the best GM I can be, give everyone a great experience here on the Aces, and help the folks on the team develop and then get drafted to good teams, I'll consider myself a winner. 

5. I think that Miami will not make the finals even though common sense hints that they do 

6. Honestly, my worst fear (which has happened before) is having to pee really fucking badly before something important. I literally just have to put my full willpower into not releasing anything, and keeping moving helps. Clench and skate baby.

1. Oh man, I just got into the locker room so I haven't had a chance to get to see how well I play with certain guys. But I would have to say Sandstrom and Waters. I have a good feeling about what we could do together. 

 

2. Compared to the assistant GM, like a 2 or 3 MAX. 

 

3. I uh... I lost $1000 within minutes of getting into the first casino. True story. But other than that, I'm enjoying my time so far in the city. 

 

4. I want to be a champion at every level. I think winning means getting to that highest tier of success. 

 

5. Kasey Tamm ROTY

 

6. Guess I'll shit my pants chief. You fuckin' degen

[diacope 1,696]

1. This week marks the start of the VHLM season, who would you like to be your linemates?

Definitely got to pair me up with Roseann Petal, he can do the passing and I'll take the shots from the blue line

 

2. On a weirdness scale where would you rate your GM @Spartan from 1 to 10?

1, I'm weird so he doesn't seem strange to me

 

3. How have you adjusted to life now living in Las Vegas?

Yeah I think so, got all my stuff set up in my apartment, been to town multiple times and know a the quicker route to my favorite restaurant. Visited the strip and had the experience of losing a lot of money too but I don't wanna talk about that

 

4. What is your definition of "winning" when it comes to hockey and the VHLM?

Whoever leads the league is winning and whichever team sits last is losing. Anybody in the middle is doing both

 

5. What is your hot take for this VHLM season?

Rookies are all over the place, the VHL needs to hires more scouts

 

6. There's 2 minutes left in a hockey game and you're the top line center. You know you're probably going to have to play about 1:30 of that 2 minutes, but you have to take a dump really really bad. What's the move?

Let the coach know and let it loose, the sooner the better because your team could tie the game without you

1.  Love to get on the ice and build some chem with veteran LW Chris Reynolds and veteran RW Onde Sandstrome.

 

2. 3, more of on the cool scale than weird

 

3. Way too hot bro, coming from the cold, cold North

 

4. Winning in VHLM is the same as winning elsewhere. Winning is winning, as long as my team puts in more pucks in the opposing net than we let in, I'm good. I'll start the process with team puck control from winning the opening drop  

 

5. It's going to be a roller-coaster ride, with lots of ups and downs, as I learn through my rookie season. Going to be exciting and full of "Entertainment"

 

6. I really, really got to go , so I would dump the puck on net and crash the opposing goaltender, causing a major scrum around the net and a great fight with an opposing player. Win or lose I'll get to leave for the dressing room... free to take my dump  Heck, it might not go as plan and go in, giving us a late game goal 

[Crstats23 340]

1. Entertainment, Sandstrome or Waters

 

2. 4 

 

3. being from the northeast it’s hot but I’m dealing with it 

 

4. Winning is winning as long as by the final buzzer we scored mor then the other team we win 

 

5. Miami will not make the finals even though everyone thinks they will

 

6. Clench and skate

1. This week marks the start of the VHLM season, who would you like to be your linemates?

 

One of the strange part of my jobs is that I play with everyone on the team, each D-pair and each flight of forwards are my linemates.

 

2. On a weirdness scale where would you rate your GM @Spartan from 1 to 10?

 

Maybe 3? Nothing too weird.

 

3. How have you adjusted to life now living in Las Vegas?

 

It's hot! Much hotter than home, but the casino buffets are no joke!

 

4. What is your definition of "winning" when it comes to hockey and the VHLM?

 

Obviously when we finish the game with more goals than them. However there are wins that don't feel like it, games where I give up too many goals and get bailed out. We get a W on the schedule, but I don't feel as great inside.

 

5. What is your hot take for this VHLM season?

 

Keep an eye on us. 

 

6. There's 2 minutes left in a hockey game and you're the top line center. You know you're probably going to have to play about 1:30 of that 2 minutes, but you have to take a dump really really bad. What's the move?

Try to sneak out a fart to reduce the pressure.

1. I would love to play on the top line with the best players. 
2. A 5 might be right I’m just guessing. 
3. It’s been a easy transition and I’m enjoying the city. 
4. Winning is when you don’t lose a lot and that makes it more fun. 
5. My hot take is that Gary Rush is going to score a lot of goals. 
6. I’m squeezing the cheeks and shitting myself on the way back to the locker room.

[Siddhus 72]

1. This week marks the start of the VHLM season, who would you like to be your linemates?

I dont really care, everyones cool on the team. Im just hoping to be first line.

2. On a weirdness scale where would you rate your GM @Spartan from 1 to 10?

Relatively compared to like you, a 1. But if you werent on team, I would give a solid 7.23. I mean he has a channel in discord dedicated to saying shut fuck up.

3. How have you adjusted to life now living in Las Vegas?

Las Vergas has been nice, mostly stayed indoors, cause only losers go outside, smh my head.

Getting more points than the opponent

1. Honestly I feel like anyone in the locker room would fit on my line, their all good guys and I look forward to playing with them

2. I say spartan is a 4ish, he's as normal as someone can get from what i can tell so far but I can tell he can get weird, and I like that in a coach.

3. Vegas is a beautiful city, and playing here is an experience for sure, I'm adjusting very well.

4. My definition of winning is having more goals than the other team, we just wanna go out there and play a tight physical game, get the puck on the boards and win those net battles.

5. My hot take? Well I think some underdogs might actually come in and do what we told we couldn't.

6. You hold that dump in, hell go in your pants if you have to. Every win is important, and on the first line your job is to make sure you seal the game away.

1. As a Goalie.... Everyone???

2. So far like a 3, but with maybe a 6-7 potential

3. Definitely a lot warmer than Northern Canada. Definitely still need to replace some of my wardrobe

4. I mean winning important games is always a win in my eyes, but coming out of this league into the draft with the best odds of success is the real win in my eyes.

5.  I think Vegas is gonna draw a lot of attention this year

6. My first worry is that I'm suddenly our top line center, but otherwise just really focus on getting railing some shots on net, hope I miss and shatter the glass. Get a few minutes to... relieve myself.

[fonziGG 1,068]

1. This week marks the start of the VHLM season, who would you like to be your linemates?

I'm happy with my current linemates to be completely honest.

 

2. On a weirdness scale where would you rate your GM @Spartan from 1 to 10?

Not as weird as me so 9/10

 

3. How have you adjusted to life now living in Las Vegas?

I played previously for Vegas and enjoyed my time here. Just glad to be back.

 

4. What is your definition of "winning" when it comes to hockey and the VHLM?

Winning the cup.

 

5. What is your hot take for this VHLM season?

Yukon isn't going to be straight garbage.

Shit on the opposing goalie. Simple really.

[Mason 81]

1. This week marks the start of the VHLM season, who would you like to be your linemates?

 

I’m not really familiar enough with the guys on the team yet to say who I’d like to share a line with. At this point, happy to play alongside whoever the team wants me to.

 

2. On a weirdness scale where would you rate your GM @Spartan from 1 to 10?

 

I’m giving him a 1. He seems like a normal

guy and I’ve got no reason to think he’s at all weird (yet).

 

3. How have you adjusted to life now living in Las Vegas?

 

Having just moved here I’ve not got to check much out yet. I’m looking forward to hitting the strip and wasting some of my contract money soon tho.

 

4. What is your definition of "winning" when it comes to hockey and the VHLM?

 

I think winning’s just all about getting the cup here. There’s obviously a lot of development opportunities in the minor league to be a part of a team that plays as a cohesive unit and has a good team environment which is important too.

 

5. What is your hot take for this VHLM season?

 

My hot take for the season is that Las Vegas wins it all. You’ll see us in the finals series getting it done, check it out.  

 

6. There's 2 minutes left in a hockey game and you're the top line center. You know you're probably going to have to play about 1:30 of that 2 minutes, but you have to take a dump really really bad. What's the move?

 

Shitting comes before everything man. I’m leaving the ice there and then, no chance I’m shitting my pants in front of an arena full of people

1. Spartan surprised us with a bunch of new recruits for this season via free agency. How do you think this will benefit our team?

 

2. Would you rather give @fonziGG more hits or let Vegas win more games? (this is a tough one I know)

 

3. What is your favorite activity to do outside of hockey?

 

4. Do you think we should be higher or lower in the standings, or are we just right?

 

5. Do you know what a pierogi is, and if not why have you never eaten this delicious polish delicacy?

 

6. The Aces are tied in the 3rd period with 30 seconds on the clock. You managed to get a breakaway, what is your go-to dangle to win the game?

1. Considering I'm one of those free agents, I'm confident that this benefits our team. We picked up two solid defensive prospects that I believe are going to develop into stars

2. I'd rather Vegas win more games, Sorry fonzi! But we gotta get those W's

3. I play a lot of League Of Legends, and I like to get drunk with the boys.

4. Honestly as of right now our position makes sense, we'll for sure improve in the standings this season though.

5. I don't unfortunately, I haven't really tried many Polish dishes, but that's sure to change soon.

6. My go-to dangle would be a between the legs shot or a one hander to the left side. 

[Mason 81]

1. Spartan surprised us with a bunch of new recruits for this season via free agency. How do you think this will benefit our team?

 

Personal bias aside as one of the players, I'm hoping that the free agent pick ups can be big adds for the team. There's a lot of potential for us as a group to really help the team and I hope that is the case. 

 

2. Would you rather give @fonziGG more hits or let Vegas win more games? (this is a tough one I know)

 

Why not both? The more hits he can get, the better chance we have of winning some games right? If I had to choose one, it'd be tough but I'd probably go with the wins. 

 

3. What is your favorite activity to do outside of hockey?

 

Good question. The answer was a lot more varied pre-Covid, but these days I enjoy gaming and hanging out with friends at a socially responsible distance. 

 

4. Do you think we should be higher or lower in the standings, or are we just right?

 

Being a late addition to the team, I haven't looked too much at how we're doing in the standings relative to our TPE or level of play. Now that we've made some additions to the squad, I think our current standing is probably a little bit low given what our team is capable of. 

 

5. Do you know what a pierogi is, and if not why have you never eaten this delicious polish delicacy?

 

I love pierogi, anyone who hasn't tried them is missing out

 

6. The Aces are tied in the 3rd period with 30 seconds on the clock. You managed to get a breakaway, what is your go-to dangle to win the game?

 

Can't go wrong with the old fashioned toe drag for me

[Crstats23 340]

1. I feel like the recruits will benefit us greatly as the season goes on 

 

2.more hits gives the team a better chance to win games, but if I had to pick one, wins
 

3. I enjoy gaming from time to time but that’s been mostly what I’ve done lately but pre Covid the answer would be varied 

 

4. I think we are actually just right to be battling with SDM because we are good but there are better teams 

 

5. Anyone who hasn’t tried them is missing out 

 

6. forehand, backhand, forehand roof job

1. We have a plethora (damn look at that word) of young talent thanks to his recruiting. We are a very active group so far, and I think we'll surprise some people. 

 

2. Sorry Fonz... need these dubs bud. 

 

3. I like playing video games, reading, and eating. Eating is probably my favorite activity lowkey though. 

 

4. Right now, I can't complain about where we are. Our schedule was TOUGH to open up this season, but after playing the defending champions 3 times in 6 games, we have been winning a lot of games. 

 

5. God damn it this is targeted you fucker

 

...I don't know what a pierogie is but based on the reaction last time I said that, I'm missing out.
