Las Vegas Aces Press Conference

[ThePerfectNut 563]

Luke Thornton storms in Las Vegas press conference

 

 

1. This week is theme week, what do you think of the theme chosen?

I think it's a cool idea seeing so many people thinking about coming back with a new player eventually.

 

2. A lot of you are rookies right now, but have any other cool build ideas ever came into your mind? 

It's only my second build and if it fails again. I might just go 99 defense, scoring and puck handling for my next one lol.

 

3. If both Spartan and I had to recreate and sign with Vegas right now, what position do you think we should play?

Defence for sure. Forward core young and deep already.

 

4. Which is the superior food: Nachos or Burritos?

Burritos sorry not sorry.

 

5. If you went camping with the team and had to venture into the woods, who would you bring with you to protect you from bears?

Onde Sandstrom is a big boy.

 

6. What team is your favorite NHL team, or if you don't have one who would you like to support in the playoffs this year?

Habs

1. What has been your favorite memory from your player or in the LVA locker room this season so far?

The surge of new players made it exciting, we went from zero to hero quick and shocked the league

2. Sorry I haven't been around as much the last couple weeks, work has been hectic. Do you have anything you'd like to ask me, or is there anything I can help you with?

You've been busy? Couldn't notice.. Must be doing a good job. No extra hand needed over here, maybe focus your efforts on our guys closing in on a 100 so they can get the 10 bonus before the playoffs start and have a decent player that'll mesh with the rest of the team

3. As a bad ass VHLMer how's your game with the ladies or men?

Try defenders on the wing, maybe me hint hint 

 

16 minutes ago, twists said:

Cheese and gravy vs. Boring ketchup, that's not a hard decision to make.. Poutine all day everyday and once in my dreams but never when I was in the womb

6. What's your favorite video game to play in your spare time?

1. Not to be all selfish or anything but getting my first couple of W's with the team is a memory I will never forget

2. Oh I feel ya there, crazy time in the world. If I need anything I know where to look

3. Goalies never really get the romantic attention we deserve, I mean it might have to do with the fact that our faces are covered but hey.

4. Switch all the forwards with the defence and see what atrocities come from there.

5. yes.

6. Been playing a lot of Fall Guys recently , but my favourite game is Rimworld, its like a colony management game but it's soooooo addictive

5) I like ketchup with my fries. 
6) I would say I like the NHL 20. 
 

[Mason 81]

1. What has been your favorite memory from your player or in the LVA locker room this season so far?

Favorite memory is probably just the good vibes when we win games, it's been good to share some success as a group and it's really helped to bring the team closer together.

 

2. Sorry I haven't been around as much the last couple weeks, work has been hectic. Do you have anything you'd like to ask me, or is there anything I can help you with?

Nah man, it's all good. Things are ticking over fine with the team and my player I think, nothing to worry about at my end. 

 

3. As a bad ass VHLMer how's your game with the ladies or men?

It's like my game on the ice, always improving and always needing work. Can never get too comfortable or start taking things too easy.

 

4. The team has been struggling a little as of late. What's your crazy idea that could help us move up in the standings?

Man, I don't know. It's tough to say, there's been a lot going right this season too so a bad stretch was always going to happen at some point. Maybe mixing up the lines, but idk, we're still in a good spot so no need to panic.

 

5. Ketchup or poutine on fries?

Poutine is goated, anyone choosing ketchup is silly. 

 

6. What's your favorite video game to play in your spare time?

I'm always a big 2K player, but I've just started playing Red Dead Redemption 2 again which is a lot of fun also.

1. As the regular season wraps up, what are your hopes for LVA come playoff time?

 

Go all the way and win the title

Goaltending is key and I'm a big fan of Eagles so the Reign should do well.. Hope they win again

 

3. Have you ever been to a casino IRL? If not do not let this question sway you into going.

 

Once, won 30 dollars and lost it all in slot machines

 

4. Be honest with me, since joining LVA have you turned into a gambling addict?

 

Nope

 

5. Most likely our first round in the playoffs will be against MIN, do you have any trash talk for them you'd like to share?

 

I'd rather beat them and that'll be enough trash talk in itself

      We are going to surprise and reach the Semi-Finals

2. Who do you think will win the VHL playoffs this year?

      Houston

3. Have you ever been to a casino IRL? If not do not let this question sway you into going.

      Yes

4. Be honest with me, since joining LVA have you turned into a gambling addict?

      No? 

5. Most likely our first round in the playoffs will be against MIN, do you have any trash talk for them you'd like to share?

      We got you in the season finale, now we're going to beat you down like how Vancouver beat Minnesota in the NHL.

6. Who wears the pants in the relationship, @Spartan or @fishy?

      Can't we all not wear pants?

 

[Crstats23 340]

1. No big expectations just to play the best we can

2. NYA would have to be one of the favorites 

3. Yes just to see what games they had 

4.  No gambling isn’t for me

5. I’ll let my play on the ice do the talking 

6. Both maybe idk

[Mason 81]

1. As the regular season wraps up, what are your hopes for LVA come playoff time?

The only thing to hope for is winning it all. We're not the favorites but with a young team that's been working hard all season to develop, no one can rule us out. I think we've got a real shot at making some waves. 

 

2. Who do you think will win the VHL playoffs this year?

I'll be honest, I really haven't been following the VHL this season. I'm totally focused on the VHLM, but I think by the time my call up to the VHL comes I'll be following the league a lot more closely.

 

3. Have you ever been to a casino IRL? If not do not let this question sway you into going.

I went to the casino nearest to my school a few times last year with a big group, enjoyed it but not a place I want to make a habit of going to.

 

4. Be honest with me, since joining LVA have you turned into a gambling addict?

Well I wasn't far off anyway so it's maybe accelerated the process a little bit?

 

5. Most likely our first round in the playoffs will be against MIN, do you have any trash talk for them you'd like to share?

I don't really need to trash talk the players there, they already live in Minnesota so shit's tough enough for them as it is.

 

6. Who wears the pants in the relationship, @Spartan or @fishy?

Definitely Fishy, not even worth asking as a question.

1. I think we are set for a deep run

2. Maybe HC Davos?

3. I have, blew 20$ and that was all I needed

4. No I've always been wary of gambling, I worked hard for my contract no need to blow it

5. Absolutely, nothing I could say to the press though

6. Sorry Spartan...

1. We're going to win it all. We've developed internally at such a high level, we have an insanely deep team. I have full faith in whatever line we throw out, that I really do think we can make a deep run.

 

2. Well uh.. I just.. okay. I think we can take home the title this year. Like I said above, we are one of the deeper teams out there in my opinion. We have a strong chance to surprise some other great teams.

 

3. Yes I have, it was a pretty fun time. But holy shit the smell is exactly what you would expect. Smoke, smoke, smoke. It doesn't bother me too much, until I started getting a headache. It was still a pretty fun time, though. Would go again (when I ain't a broke mf).

 

4. Well uh... maybe uh...

 

                                                                 ...yes.

 

5. Nah, I want to let my play do the talking. I'm too small to get my face caved in for talking shit my rookie season.

6. Since fishy said she doesn't, I'm inclined to believe she wears the pants in the relationship.
