. With one week of sims down, is the team performing as you’ve expected?

 

Saskatoon was doing great but now on a 3 game losing streak.  Trueno needs to step up.

 

2. Who do you predict will be Davos’ MVP this season?

 

That’s easy…. David Jokenin @Ahma

 

3. What are your thoughts on our current prospect pool?

 

Alex was a genius once again.  

 

4. If you are participating, what does your VHFL or Super Coach team look like? If you aren’t participating, any reason why you chose not to sign up this season?

 

Not very good.  I picked Logan Ninefingers, @Scurvy only so I could blame him for my lack of success.

 

5. What is your most controversial VHL opinion?

 

Huh? I guess this question would be!!

 

6. If Davos had a mascot, what would it look like?

 

Ahma

 

7. What sports do you enjoy watching besides hockey?

 

Curling, chess, synchronized flag twirling, 

 

8. What was the last video game you played?

 

FIFA  -  take that @Scurvy,  biatch!!!!

[Ahma 1,430]

1. With one week of sims down, is the team performing as you’ve expected?

 

2. Who do you predict will be Davos’ MVP this season?

David Jokinen, my player. The only competent player on the roster B-DAV C3 sure is making a run for it tho!

3. What are your thoughts on our current prospect pool?

Looking really good! last draft was great for us

4. If you are participating, what does your VHFL or Super Coach team look like? If you aren’t participating, any reason why you chose not to sign up this season?

 

5. What is your most controversial VHL opinion?

I don't think thinking the E should be yeeted ASAP is a controversial opinion anymore, but can't think of anything else

6. If Davos had a mascot, what would it look like?

7. What sports do you enjoy watching besides hockey?

football, occasionally. mostly the big games, champions league.

8. What was the last video game you played?

cyberpunk 2077

[CowboyinAmerica 2,890]

1. With one week of sims down, is the team performing as you’ve expected?

Oslo's been alright, maybe a little behind where I'd want to be so far. But a tough schedule and some backup goalie games to start the season will do, we'll get there.

 

2. Who do you predict will be Davos’ MVP this season?

I have a tough choice - is it our captain, our first assistant captain, or our second assistant captain? In the end, I think I'll have to split the difference and say Jokinen.

 

3. What are your thoughts on our current prospect pool?

Obviously I'm slightly biased, but I'm really happy where things are headed. And not just with the S93 Draft either, I think Sunset Moth, Ivan Ivanov and others can help us build something really cool here.

 

5. What is your most controversial VHL opinion?

Simmers should be paid. But not in TPE - like actual, real money. It's a job and a lot of people donate, let's compensate people with such an important position.

 

6. If Davos had a mascot, what would it look like?

An anthropomorphic mountain would be entertaining, but not super practical. I'll say it's a cartoon skier - but in all purple and with hockey stick-like poles.

 

8. What was the last video game you played?

MLB the Show came on Game Pass recently and I really enjoy it. If you like baseball I highly suggest the Storyline modes - maybe my favorite thing a sports game has done in years, both last year and this year.

Rainbow Six Siege just cant seem to leave it.

Whatever sport in the playoffs or high intensy/meaningful games.

I'm still on Baldur's Gate III hahaha! Act III in my second playthrough.  

[KmaddFPS 27]

1. With one week of sims down, is the team performing as you’ve expected?

Yup. Team is playing quite bad, I guess it might be because of the rebuild era.

 

2. Who do you predict will be Davos’ MVP this season?
I honestly can not make such a prediction. Who knows. Hopefully someone who really deserves it.

 

3. What are your thoughts on our current prospect pool?
Well, it's the best prospect pool. Simply because I'm in it!

 

5. What is your most controversial VHL opinion?
That the HC Davos Dynamo suck, because of whatever a rebuild I guess. We are the worst team in the VHL, no offense.

 

7. What sports do you enjoy watching besides hockey?
I like watching some Baseball too, but frequently it gets boring.

 

8. What was the last video game you played?
The last video game I played was F1 2023. I have it through PS Plus on my PS5.

1. Happy theme week, everyone! What do you think of this season’s theme: rebrand?

 

2. Now that we’re halfway through the season, are we performing as you’ve expected?

 

3. The rebuild is still going strong. Any draftees in the upcoming class catch your interest to add to our squad?

 

4. If you had the duties of coming up with a theme week topic, what would you choose for it?

 

5. How many goals and assists has your player scored this season?

 

6. Predict the NA and EU conference champion! 

 

7. I went to a San Diego Gulls game last weekend! Have you ever gone to a professional hockey game live?

@Cwalker @Enraged @Ben_Reformed @Ahma @Thunder @CowboyinAmerica@Mongoose87 @Anthique @KmaddFPS

 

[CowboyinAmerica 2,890]

1. Happy theme week, everyone! What do you think of this season’s theme: rebrand?

I'm a fan, I think it's something that both writers and graphics experts can do a lot with. And that's coming from somebody who's been critical of theme weeks in the past.

 

2. Now that we’re halfway through the season, are we performing as you’ve expected?

I mean, it sounds bad... but maybe better? The first line has been holding strong, and being so far clear of L.A. at the bottom isn't what I expected.

 

3. The rebuild is still going strong. Any draftees in the upcoming class catch your interest to add to our squad?

I don't think it's too much of a secret to be looking at defense after the forwards and goalie of the S93 class. Woods and Hardy are both very interesting, but we'll see what happens in the lottery.

 

5. How many goals and assists has your player scored this season?

Bucatini's got 22/23 splits right now, which has me top 10 in both goals and points in the VHLE! It was a bit of a slow start to the season, so glad things are coming around and can maybe make a run for most goals.

 

7. I went to a San Diego Gulls game last weekend! Have you ever gone to a professional hockey game live? 

Been to a few, most recent was actually the home opener for the Minnesota PWHL team. Was a lot of fun, I really want to get back to some more of their games when I've got time.

 

8. How well would your player fare in an Easter egg hunt?

I'd be way, way too competitive about it. You know, pushing people out of the way for an egg, angry when I only get a single hershey's kiss, that sort of thing.

[Thunder 1,168]

 

1. Happy theme week, everyone! What do you think of this season’s theme: rebrand?

 

I like it.  Lots of ideas from people.

 

2. Now that we’re halfway through the season, are we performing as you’ve expected?

 

Since I’m crashing your press conference, I’d say the team performance is not even close to what I expect from Davos.  Step it up.

 

3. The rebuild is still going strong. Any draftees in the upcoming class catch your interest to add to our squad?

 

Haven’t paid too much attention to that so I guess I have to say it’s up to Alex.

 

4. If you had the duties of coming up with a theme week topic, what would you choose for it?

 

It would be how to make TPE earning easier.  And WTF is up with these screwball trivia questions.

 

5. How many goals and assists has your player scored this season?

 

Not sure, I haven’t looked at season stats.  I only look at game results if we won or not, then if I hit anybody, blocked shots, and got in fight.  If I got in fight, then I would look for the Gordy Howe!!

 

6. Predict the NA and EU conference champion! 

 

Toronto and Moscow

 

7. I went to a San Diego Gulls game last weekend! Have you ever gone to a professional hockey game live? 

 

Season tickets to Silvertips, but wife hogs the tickets.  Couple NHL games.  Prefer Tips, easier to get in and out of!!  And cheaper.

 

8. How well would your player fare in an Easter egg hunt?

 

He’d smash the eggs with a stick.  Lives and breathes hockey.  Nothing else.

[Ahma 1,430]

1. Happy theme week, everyone! What do you think of this season’s theme: rebrand?

Fun topic for sure. Personally gonna skip out on it though.

2. Now that we’re halfway through the season, are we performing as you’ve expected?

Yup. Right on. Although LA is somehow even WORSE.

3. The rebuild is still going strong. Any draftees in the upcoming class catch your interest to add to our squad?

 

4. If you had the duties of coming up with a theme week topic, what would you choose for it?

Just Davos.

5. How many goals and assists has your player scored this season?

 

6. Predict the NA and EU conference champion! 

EU is so competitive! Going on a limb and let's say London. NA easier, Toronto has it in the bag

7. I went to a San Diego Gulls game last weekend! Have you ever gone to a professional hockey game live? 

Sounds like fun! I have yes. Plenty of pro hockey options to go see in Finland.

8. How well would your player fare in an Easter egg hunt?

He would be okay at it. Probably find few of the easier eggs, skip the rest and go chill somewhere.

[Anthique 222]

2. Now that we’re halfway through the season, are we performing as you’ve expected?

Not better, but not really worst either. Considering the roster of the team, it's expected.

 

3. The rebuild is still going strong. Any draftees in the upcoming class catch your interest to add to our squad?

Wait till a recreate to ask me that question hahahaha!

 

5. How many goals and assists has your player scored this season?

Not enough lol I'm at 14 goals and 11 assists in 43 games before wednesday sim. It will be by far my worst season since I was a rookie.

 

6. Predict the NA and EU conference champion! 

I will go with Toronto since they have a bif lead, and London since we can't be them (New York)

 

7. I went to a San Diego Gulls game last weekend! Have you ever gone to a professional hockey game live? 

Yes three times. Two in New York and one in Montréal (The Canadiens each times, against the Islanders X2 and Colorado)

 

8. How well would your player fare in an Easter egg hunt?

Not good haha! Better at eating them than finding them!

1. I like it it gives both writers and graphics people basically a blank canvas to work with to let creativity shine 

 

2. Right on how you expected if not a little better 

 

3. From the looks of it you need defense which works well as some of the top players available are defense 

 

5. My split is currently 10/21 which isn’t where I want I’d have thought I’d have more goals by now 

 

6. I’m going to go with Toronto and Moscow, though the EU is harder to predict 

 

7. yes I’ve been to plenty most recently was Bruins vs Canadians in January

Week Of April 14th 2024 - April 21st 2024

 

1. Happy TDL week! What trade surprised you most leading up to it, if any?

 

2. In your opinion, do you think putting TPE into the LD attribute has any impact on sims?

 

3. Which team do you believe has been Davos’ biggest rival this season?

 

4. Are you a member of any other sim leagues?

 

5. In the spirit of last week’s theme week: which VHL team is most due for a rebrand?

 

6. Did your favorite NHL team make the playoffs this year?

 

7. Connor McDavid has just amassed 100 assists this season! Any thoughts about this feat?

 

8. Are you an early bird or a night owl?

   @Cwalker @Enraged  @Ahma @Thunder @CowboyinAmerica@Mongoose87 @Anthique @ctots

 

[CowboyinAmerica 2,890]

1. Happy TDL week! What trade surprised you most leading up to it, if any?

Not necessarily an individual trade, but Seattle trading so aggressively surprised me. They had the prospects and picks to do more of a slow build, but I guess they saw a whole. 

 

2. In your opinion, do you think putting TPE into the LD attribute has any impact on sims?

I know I'm in the minority here, but absolutely. Not for individual stats, but I believe LD and EX has an effect on a team's overall success rate. It's all anecdotal evidence but I've seen it work - and which is why I love to remind people to take the free EX points every year.

 

3. Which team do you believe has been Davos’ biggest rival this season?

Backup goalies. We've faced a lot of them, and damn it, it feels good to beat an overmatched bot.

 

4. Are you a member of any other sim leagues?

Just the SBA right now. I tend to be all or nothing in how I approach sim leagues but don't have unlimited time, so just the ones I have the most investment in already (like the VHL) are the most fun for me.

 

5. In the spirit of last week’s theme week: which VHL team is most due for a rebrand?

I really do think it's due for London, especially when even the GM is admitting it. I'll be really curious to see what they come up with.

 

8. Are you an early bird or a night owl?

I'm noticing that I'm becoming a cliche - was definitely a night owl, but that's starting to drift as I get older. Also doesn't help that work often has me on early morning meetings with people from the UK, so it's a bit of a necessity.

[Thunder 1,168]

1. Happy TDL week! What trade surprised you most leading up to it, if any?

 

Pretty happy Saskatoon got Felicia Hardy

 

2. In your opinion, do you think putting TPE into the LD attribute has any impact on sims?

 

No clue

 

3. Which team do you believe has been Davos’ biggest rival this season?

 

Los Angeles Stars!!!

 

4. Are you a member of any other sim leagues?

 

I can barely navigate this one.

 

5. In the spirit of last week’s theme week: which VHL team is most due for a rebrand?

 

DC

 

6. Did your favorite NHL team make the playoffs this year?

 

Yes.  And if they didnt, I’d have to pick a new favorite team!!

 

7. Connor McDavid has just amassed 100 assists this season! Any thoughts about this feat?

 

He’s on the wrong team.  He needs to join the Bruins.

 

8. Are you an early bird or a night owl?

 

I get up early and go to bed late.

[Ahma 1,430]

1. Happy TDL week! What trade surprised you most leading up to it, if any?

 

2. In your opinion, do you think putting TPE into the LD attribute has any impact on sims?

I honestly don't know. If it has, it is minuscule.

3. Which team do you believe has been Davos’ biggest rival this season?

LA lol the tank battle!

4. Are you a member of any other sim leagues?

GOHLS and that's it.

5. In the spirit of last week’s theme week: which VHL team is most due for a rebrand?

Riga has to go back old log and Vancouver back it's righful place, Quebec!!!!!!!!!!

6. Did your favorite NHL team make the playoffs this year?

Habs deep in rebuilding, so no.

7. Connor McDavid has just amassed 100 assists this season! Any thoughts about this feat?

One word: Superior. McDavid is a superior human. Illegally good at hockey.

8. Are you an early bird or a night owl?

I go to bed early and get up late.

[Anthique 222]

2. In your opinion, do you think putting TPE into the LD attribute has any impact on sims?

I really don't think so. But I'm open to the debate if someone have proof of it.

 

3. Which team do you believe has been Davos’ biggest rival this season?

Hard to say for me, but surely Helsinki is one of them!

 

4. Are you a member of any other sim leagues?

The SHL, I'm a hockey guy so probably won't join another big sim league.

 

6. Did your favorite NHL team make the playoffs this year?

Sadly no... Pittsburgh needed a PHI and MTL win and none happen.

 

7. Connor McDavid has just amassed 100 assists this season! Any thoughts about this feat?

I honestly thought it would have been more than 3 other players who reached that mark, so props to him!

 

8. Are you an early bird or a night owl?

Night owl haha! But with a baby it changed a little bit...

2. I think it has a very minimal effect might have more if it’s a captain come playoffs but i don’t know 

 

3. LA for the tank battle but also Prague is always a rival 

 

4. no I’m not the VHL is more then enough for me right now 

 

5. London for me, I know there was people who didn’t like it when it was announced and there’s likely even more now 

 

6. Yes they did and got the match up most fans wanted 

 

7. incredible, I know goals are “sexy” but to me McDavid 100 assists is more impressive then Matthews 69 goals
