Moderator McLovin 518 Posted April 15 Moderator Share Posted April 15 1. If you were allowed to make a new rule for the VHL What would it be? That I get to make it past the first round of the playoffs every single season 2. Lots of new faces on the team! What do you think of your new teammates/friends? I think they're fantastic! It's always such a pleasure to see new faces and new chemistry whenever waiver day comes around! 3. which team do you think has most defied the expectations from the preseason? Honestly it's gonna be a cop out answer, but I'm gonna say us! There weren't massive expectations for this group going into this season, and yet the team has put up a respectable season and could make some waves in the playoffs if the stars align that way. 4. You get to go back in time and watch a movie or tv show from the beginning for the first time again, which one are you picking? Revenge of the Sith, man when I first watched that movie back in like 2005, my entire life trajectory changed. I wonder what it would do to me today if I watched it for the first time again 5. You keeping up with the NHL standings? Do you think the Habs or Blue jackets are getting the wildcard spot? My brain says it's the Habs, but my heart desperately wants it to be the Blue Jackets 6. You get $200,000 USD in your bank account right now, what is the first thing you’re doing with it? Payin bills and debts off cause I need that credit score to go up Big_Dyl 1 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/54960-las-vegas-aces-press-conference/page/58/#findComment-1059126 Share on other sites More sharing options...
OBrian Young 305 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Here is my best shot at answering these! 1. Yea...I read that earlier today and have been thinking about this since then. I really dont have a clue. I am still learning all of the rules we have right now. So I guess I should give this one a go in a few months when I know more. 2. Considering I am probably the newest, I think it is great! HAHA Seriously, I really like the way things are set up here and I am looking forward to seeing how we do this season. 3. Well, I just rejoined yesterday...so I have no idea on how everyone is doing...so I will say us! 4. MASH. I remember the last episode...I would love to watch the whole series...a true-binge experience without knowing how it will all end 5. Not really....but since I am from Ohio...lets say the Blue Jackets! 6. Pay off my bills. I am going to retire in a little over 2 years and I would love to start that with no bills...house paid for...car paid for...all of it slothfacekilla, Big_Dyl and Thunder 3 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/54960-las-vegas-aces-press-conference/page/58/#findComment-1059185 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any player named "Boing Boing" automatically gets the maximum amount of TPE each week 2. It has been great having more people in the locker room! Sim leagues to me are to meet new people so I always enjoy new teammates 3. I'll say San Diego because I expected them to be really good and it seems like they just haven't had the sim luck 4. The Wire. I'm on my fourth rewatch of the series and it is still sooooooo good. Friday Night Lights a close second 5. Vaguely but since I waited to answer I'll say the Habs since it has been decided lol 6. Honestly putting it toward my mortgage, the sooner I'm done with that the happier I"ll be. Boring ass answer, maybe I'd buy a new car first?  Big_Dyl 1 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/54960-las-vegas-aces-press-conference/page/58/#findComment-1059340 Share on other sites More sharing options...

No swearing his the fucking locker room. 2. Finn looks funny, and smells. 3. I would say Riga since they didn't have a GM to do any trades when all the teams were..trading. 4. Big Bang Theory of course. 5. I have no idea to be honest. I just follow the Kings. 6. First thing I would do is find out what happened to the other $125,000 that was in there.

Make gms retire during S100 (only applies to those who managed a team for 50 or more seasons in a row) 2. They're cool I guess. My inactivity doesnt let me yo say anything else 3. No idea. Once again my 1/10 activity plays a big part in knowing anything this league related 4. Can't name anything and I'm rarely watching movies or shows anyways 5. Too late for this q, but it was hard to imagine Habs to choke this to begin with 6. Buying Audi car straight up.

Are you a Habs fan if not then why aren't you and when will you be converting? 3. Who do we do it for?   1. I am not. I still feel pretty new here so I'm not sure I'd know enough for the job. Plus I don't have a ton of free time right now sadly so I wouldn't be able to devote as much time as I would want to guide a franchise 2. I would introduce a steroids stat that would juice all of your other stats but then you'd have regression hit you harder than non-steroid people. 3. I'll go with Toronto Legion because they were second in the standings for the regular season, first brings a curse imo 4. Eeyore from winnie-the-pooh 5. Detroit Red Wings, maybe next year 6.  Nathan Horton scored a goal in a game he didn't play in.  1. Purple 2. I am not and I will not! 3. Him!

I think a "looks good in the shower" should be an attribute. 3. I would have to go with Moscow on paper. We know they fold like a cheap suit at times though. 4. Ryan Renolds of course 5. LA Kings and they are doing good 6. Who scored the most goals in a regular season game.

This is going to be controversial but I think the team that scores more goals than the other team is going to win the games, that will be the deciding factor of the series imo 2. I'm commissioning someone to make a bot that posts links to all uncapped TPE tasks in every locker room 3. I'll be in the VHL draft! I am open to any team honestly, just hoping to end up somewhere fun with a good locker room 4. If it is amount of time it has to be a video game like counterstrike, brood war or diablo 2 (maybe rimworld?). I've probably watched the Wire the most of any tv show 5. Maybe a less reckless/annoying Tom Wilson 6. Always stay with endless OT it is the best Big_Dyl 1 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/54960-las-vegas-aces-press-conference/page/58/#findComment-1060920 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopitar would be my idol. 6. I don't think a shootout is a good idea. It's the whole team playing together that gets it to that point. Let them keep playing.

I guess Houston won and I have no idea what to do with this info 2. auto 12 TPE for me cause I'm too lazy for point tasks 3. I think minors draft? don't care what team snags my player 4. nothing in particular though I do come back to HTF occasionally for some reason 5. tryna do Nicklas Backstrom I think 6.

Oh man, first presser with LVA!  1. Honestly it's the people so far. Everyone I've gotten a chance to interact with meaningfully has been wonderful. I loved my time in Houston and am excited to get going with the folks here in Vegas! 2. Oh heck yeah, I want my buddy @pboomg on the Aces. 3. First, I'm looking forward to the majors draft. This is my first time being drafted to the majors, which itself is really exciting. But past that, I'm very pumped for this upcoming season. We're going to be competitive and this should be a fun bunch in the LR. 4. I've been embracing my millennial alt rock-loving self lately. Shimmer by Fuel, Monster by Paramore, Like a Stone by Audioslave, Linkin Park's revival The Emptiness Machine, among others. 5. Can Florida ¿not? win again? lol 6. Get the ads off the jerseys. I mean, I guess if I get a jersey I can just remove it myself, but I just want fewer ads in life. Big_Dyl 1 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/54960-las-vegas-aces-press-conference/page/58/#findComment-1061409 Share on other sites More sharing options...
