Las Vegas Aces Press Conference

22/2 - 28/2

Answer these questions for 2 Capped TPE

 

1) We've made the playoffs! Our first opponent will be none other than Mexico. How pumped are you for the playoffs?

 

2) We'll be riding our momentum into the postseason after a strong finish. How do you feel coming into the playoffs?

 

3) What other current playoff match-ups interest you? It can be both VHL and VHLM.

 

4) What kind of tea do you like? (Green tea, earl grey, etc.)

 

5) @Syzygyfinished this season 6th in the league in points with an outstanding 54 goal season. @Bouncyelf also quietly made his way to 7th in points among defenseman. Finally @aksuko finished the season 4th in SV% and 9th in GAA, and has become one of this season's better starters. What do you think about these guy's accomplishments this season? How will the translate into the playoffs?

 

6) Looking ahead, it looks like there's going to be a lot of work to do with LVA come next season. We have a lot more waiver players who are draft eligible compared to previous seasons and a few of our current star players will probably move up as well. So with that in mind, is this season truly our do or die moment?

1. Well, disappointed that we're out but I'm glad that we kept them close

2. Mexico was a strong team and I thought we played solid. No regrets

3. Really any second round series is gonna be good. Lots of good teams

4. I don't love tea. Hot chocolate is my jam

5. Shevkov and Lund were great, they really buckled down for us to get to the playoffs. Maronen is the backbone of our team, no doubt.

6. Unfortunately, it looks like Vegas is in for a bit of a down season. Good luck to y'all, it'll be fun playing with and against you in the big leagues!

Answer these questions for 2 Capped TPE

 

1) It's official, your old AGM over here has now become the GM of Las Vegas? Do you like the changes as of now? If not, do you have any suggestions as to how I can make things better? Be honest as I'm trying to give players the best LR possible so that everyone can just enjoy themselves.

 

2) The VHLM draft is also over! How do you think we did in this season's draft? Did I trade too many picks?

 

3) There's been one thing I've been wanting to implement into LVA and that is end of season team awards. What do you think about this concept? What awards should there be?

6) Fries or Chips?

1. I don't know you, but you seem like a good GM, and I trust you can lead us to victory.

2. I am on this team, which means it is now the best team. Also I think the other people are good as well.

3. Yes do it. Awards: Some type of community service award. Offensive award, defensive award for best player at each. 

4. If we all do really good and get a stroke of luck sure.

5. Maybe around 20? I don't know if that is good or not because I am new to hockey. Not really sure but I'll predict that.

6. Actually changing this to chips because I eat lots of different types of chips and also dip them and salsa and stuff.

As I'm new to the team the "changes" are obviously less felt, but you seem to be cultivating a good LR atmosphere thus far. I also like the build of the team. 

 

2) The VHLM draft is also over! How do you think we did in this season's draft? Did I trade too many picks?

 

The team is loaded up and ready for a fun run this season, so from that perspective you did great. Also one can never trade too  many draft picks. 

 

3) There's been one thing I've been wanting to implement into LVA and that is end of season team awards. What do you think about this concept? What awards should there be?

 

Sure, I see a few other teams both M and bigs doing this to great effect. It makes sense with the player pool being what it is to get some acknowledgement across the board for the unsung players who may get unnoticed season to season. 

 

4) As of now, the team isn't truly in the best of conditions right now. However, do you still feel like we'll be able to make the playoffs this season?

 

Maybe. We have enough for a push, but we are probably one of those fringe teams. I think it could be interesting to see where wee sit as we get a little deeper into the season to see if making a big splash to secure a playoff spot is the right move. I'm confident we'll have a fun season regardless though. 

 

5) What are your super early point predictions for your player?

 

To not suck hopefully. At this point that's all I can ask for from Simon. 

 

6) Fries or Chips?

 

Fries? Or like; do you mean chips as in fries in the UK? Oh no....I'll retract my answer and instead say baked potato. 

[DreMin15 220]

   1) I'm definitely a big fan of the new changes.

 

   2) Well, you did pick me, so I think you did pretty well in the draft! 

 

   3) I'd be down for that. Maybe top scorer, best defenseman (doesn't necessarily have to mean most goals/points),         most improved player, etc.

 

   4) Fuck it, why not? Let's get that bag!

 

   5) Officially? maybe 25-30 points. With imaginary third assists? 1000

 

   6) Depends. Are we talking normal fries or, like Cajun fries? Are we talking basic Lays chips or are we talking ketchup chips? If I have to choose, Cajun fries all day long.

11. Who's your favourite person to hang out with during a road game?

 

12. You've been given control of a newly formed expansion team. Where do you put it and why?

Edited April 2, 2021 by Emi

[Devise 4,475]

1. What's more important to you team achievement or Individual Accolades?

Team success, but for this player Sven specifically is going to be looking to get individual accolades as well. It's tough to really value one more than the other in an era where it's a lot easier to find team success and striving for it often goes hand in hand with individual award wins. 

 

2. What's one thing about your player most people don't know about?

That he refuses to add into the passing stat, and asserts that any/all assists are a result of either rebounds from attempted shots, intentional deflection passes, or "slap passes". 

 

3. What brands do you use for your player?

Burn down all the brands! 

 

4. Who's the most superstitious in the locker room?

Our GM without a doubt, has like thirty pre game rituals as signs of why we won. But we keep winning so, who can complain. 

 

5. Do you think the statement "Defence wins championships" is accurate? Please explain why?

Maybe? Depends on the league and the context. Historically in the VHL/VHLM offense and goaltending has more impact than defense, but defense is a hard thing to actually guage in STHS. But even then, it's rare that your Cup winning team lead the league in shots blocked for example. So much of "good hockey" in sim engine is about puck possession/shot generation so the teams that do that most generally win. However you could argue posessing the puck is also good defense, so...does it win championships?  

 

6. You've been given control of a newly formed expansion team. Where do you put it and why?

Honestly at this point because we've expanded everywhere else I'd probably give @BOOMand the other Aussie centric folks some love and put a team somewhere in either Australia or New Zealand. Sydney would be a good notable city to put a hockey club in. As for the why, I feel like we've mined a lot of Europe and NA now. It'd be nice to get a little more out there for league representation. 

[Hank 67]

1. What's more important to you team achievement or Individual Accolades?

I value them both the same. I would like to have individual success, but not at the expense of team success.

 

2. When Hydrating during a game do you just drink water or do you have an electrolyte drink? 

I almost always have water, because when it is a bottle filled with ice it is very refreshing and can keep me going on the ice.

 

3. What's one thing about your player most people don't know about?

That he owns 7 dogs and 3 snakes and a lizard.

 

4. What brands do you use for your player?

Zarek uses the brands that the team can provide for him.

 

5. Any post-game rituals?

My post-game ritual would have to be chilling and playing video games.

 

6. You've been given control of a newly formed expansion team. Where do you put it and why?

Luxembourg. I don't really know why, I just think it would be cool and funny to have a team located in Luxembourg, Luxembourg.

12. You've been given control of a newly formed expansion team. Where do you put it and why?

2. I think team achievement is more important tbh. You can have all the personal achievements you want as a player, but the ultimate goal in the end is to win a cup.

 

3. A mix of both. The sweetness/flavour of electrolyte drinks are things I kinda don't like sometimes so water is always good to have.

 

6. My boi Jiggly Gumballs is a movie star.

 

9. Myself in all honesty. To the point where I offer blood sacrifices.

 

10. Well so far this has been what Las Vegas has been doing this entire time. Our strong defensive core is the reason why we are winning games. Hopefully that can translate into something come the playoffs.

 

12. Hmmm. Atlanta. The reason why is because I wanna see a hockey team succeed there. That or see it get moved to a Canadian market.

1. It means a lot to me, I mean. Where to even start. I guess from  the beginning, huh? So one day I used a random number generator...

 

6. You ever just lay down and melt into your pillows? That.

 

7. Boston was really nice, shame I got stuck in a FUCKING BLIZZARD WHILE I WAS VISITING.

 

8. Probably a sloth. They're pretty chill.

 

11. Probably reckless driving. I tend to get pretty loopy when I'm tired. Probably call a Domino's Pizza.

 

13. No.

[Devise 4,475]

 

1. What would you consider your biggest strength?
   Shot generation is probably Svens biggest strength as a player. 
2. Who do you look up to in the VHL?
   Tyler Walker, defender on Davos. On top of being repped by a great member, he's also an underrated player in the league. 
3. If we had a VHL like EA sports game who would be the cover athlete?
   As much as people would probably say Campbell, given the staying power of the VHL I'd have to say you give this nod to O'Malley Cat. (Thomas O'Malley, for those that are unfamiliar.) 
4. What do you do to unwind after a game?
   Weed, it's always weed. 
5. It's midnight and you're being arrested for something... what is the crime you've committed and who is your first call?
   Smoking weed in a country/state that doesn't allow it. Then I'd probably just call up a newspaper to rant about how antiquated their laws were and otherwise dutifully serve my time in silent protest. 
6. What would your alternative sport profession be?
   Golf. Crazy slap shot, crazy drive.
