HC Davos Dynamo Press Conference

[Maple 9]

1. Hi Gorlab. Get out.

2. It'll probably come down to luck.

3. I saw it as a cool idea to take part in, and that hasn't changed.

4. We shouldn't expand so soon after the last one.

5. I consider Davos to be the dream team in my mind.

6. I don't really need style with clothing.

For the week ending 10/18:

 

1. Gorlab keeps reading our press conferences for some reason. Give him a shout-out or a personal message here.

2. Things are looking a little bit more stable sims-wise, as we've managed to win a few here and there after a bit of a change in the lines. Is this something we should be excited about now, or are we at the point where we should just hope for some good playoff luck?

3. What did you think about the VHL when you first joined? Is your outlook on the league any different now?

4. This past week saw a huge wave of new recruits. Is the league now full enough that we'll have to think about expanding again, or is it best to wait a while and see how these players affect the VHL when they move up?

5. Last week was theme week, where we talked about dream teams! If you could play with any one other player in the league, current or former, who would it be?

6. Do you have any particular style? What sort of clothes do you usually wear?

 

@BlueMaple @Jer_Lefebvre @Sonnet @McWolf @Velevra @turkey2349 @David O'Quinn @Ahma @Josh @PadStack @Rayzor_7@studentized

3) I thought it was aweomse nothing like I’ve experienced before still feel that way

1. Gorlab keeps reading our press conferences for some reason. Give him a shout-out or a personal message here.

Keep it real dawg

2. Things are looking a little bit more stable sims-wise, as we've managed to win a few here and there after a bit of a change in the lines. Is this something we should be excited about now, or are we at the point where we should just hope for some good playoff luck?

Personally, at this point, I think we should just hope for the best.

3. What did you think about the VHL when you first joined? Is your outlook on the league any different now?

The VHL was a whole different ball game back when I joined. I don't quite remember what I thought when I first joined, it was all very new. I wrote media spots and earned TPE via jobs and stuff. No welfare. Nowadays I'm more relaxed, claiming welfare. The league as a whole has grown, massively.

4. This past week saw a huge wave of new recruits. Is the league now full enough that we'll have to think about expanding again, or is it best to wait a while and see how these players affect the VHL when they move up?

best to wait how the newbies pan out. how many are active after some time.

5. Last week was theme week, where we talked about dream teams! If you could play with any one other player in the league, current or former, who would it be?

The Scotty Campbell. Needs no explanation.

6. Do you have any particular style? What sort of clothes do you usually wear?

Wait what, this game came out nowhere. I wear Davos merch, duh!

[PadStack 48]

 

1. Gorlab keeps reading our press conferences for some reason. Give him a shout-out or a personal message here.

 

Hi gorlab, always nice to interact with fans. What are you wearing?

 

2. Things are looking a little bit more stable sims-wise, as we've managed to win a few here and there after a bit of a change in the lines. Is this something we should be excited about now, or are we at the point where we should just hope for some good playoff luck?

 

No. If we get excited over anything we're just setting ourselves up for disappointment.

 

3. What did you think about the VHL when you first joined? Is your outlook on the league any different now?

 

I thought it was neat. I like it a lot less now.

 

4. This past week saw a huge wave of new recruits. Is the league now full enough that we'll have to think about expanding again, or is it best to wait a while and see how these players affect the VHL when they move up?

 

Let's hold off. Might end up with a bunch of inactive folks.

 

5. Last week was theme week, where we talked about dream teams! If you could play with any one other player in the league, current or former, who would it be?

 

Richard penisson

 

6. Do you have any particular style? What sort of clothes do you usually wear?

 

Butterfly. And same answer. Silk shirts with lots of butterfly's 

[Rayzor_7 741]

1. Gorlab is a smelly man

2. I think we can be happy but we need to focus on making the playoffs first

3. I think the VHL is better and worse in some ways since I joined

4. We should probably wait and see if it's repeatable

5. I'd love to play with DoktorFunk again, dudes a boss

6. Definitely athletic clothes, Under Armour is probably my #1 brand

[Gustav 6,430]

For the week ending 10/25:

 

1. Now that the regular season is winding down, how do you feel about your individual performance this season as a whole?

2. We're right on the edge of making the playoffs as I'm writing this. If you're answering this before the regular season ends, will we make it? Does Davos, Prague, or Helsinki get knocked out? If you're answering this after it ends, are you surprised by how the last couple sims went?

3. Not including yourself, which member of the league who is not currently a VHL GM would you like to see as one?

4. What's the best place you've ever traveled to?

5. Do you have a favorite time of the year? How does October stack up to it?

6. Have you played, or do you currently play, any sports in real life? Which ones?

I feel like I put forward a solid backup effort.

 

2. We're right on the edge of making the playoffs as I'm writing this. If you're answering this before the regular season ends, will we make it? Does Davos, Prague, or Helsinki get knocked out? If you're answering this after it ends, are you surprised by how the last couple sims went?

 

Yes, we pull it together and make it in.

 

3. Not including yourself, which member of the league who is not currently a VHL GM would you like to see as one?

Yes, hockey.

[Ahma 1,431]

1. Now that the regular season is winding down, how do you feel about your individual performance this season as a whole?

Irrelevant. I take great team success over personal success, but I think I've played well overall.

2. We're right on the edge of making the playoffs as I'm writing this. If you're answering this before the regular season ends, will we make it? Does Davos, Prague, or Helsinki get knocked out? If you're answering this after it ends, are you surprised by how the last couple sims went?

We'll make it easy. Confidence is key.

3. Not including yourself, which member of the league who is not currently a VHL GM would you like to see as one?

Ruutu would be cool to see GM a team.

4. What's the best place you've ever traveled to?

Spain.

5. Do you have a favorite time of the year? How does October stack up to it?

Autumn sucks in general. Spring is the best.

6. Have you played, or do you currently play, any sports in real life? Which ones?

I played ice hockey. I played other sports too. Ice hockey mainly though.

[studentized 166]

1. Was killing it in NY on a bad team. Then doing meh on a bad Davos team. Now doing good on a good Davos team. I'll take it. Especially if we make it in

 

2. I feel like I'll jinx our chances so I'm gonna just say no comment.

 

3. Hugh Jass is a cool dude. CowboyInAmerica too, though he might have already been one

 

4. Tel Aviv

 

5. September is better. October is just a precursor to shit.

 

6. Nope. Keep me in the stands as a fan.

[Maple 9]

1. I should have spent less time in the box.

2. As long as we make the playoffs, I'll be happy.

3. Rust would probably do well as GM

4. Chicago

5. Summer is the best. Autumn is cold and gross.

6. I did do soccer for a few years, but I'm only doing Cross Country atm.

@BlueMaple @Jer_Lefebvre @Sonnet @McWolf @Velevra @turkey2349 @David O'Quinn @Ahma @Josh @PadStack @Rayzor_7@studentized

1) I feel like my first season in the big leagues was a success overall it was a great learning curve as well as pretty up and ok amount of points 

2) We fought until the end tied things up but the tiebreaker just didn’t go our way 

3) I think Spence king would make a great gm

4) Sweden 

5) Summer no doubt can’t beat camp SZN

6) Played all sports really and still play hockey now 

[Berocka 2,263]

Hey all, apologies for the late presser, life gets in the way you know how it is!

 

1) What is the punishment for a late press conference?

2) What players should we look at drafting in the upcoming draft?

3) Are there any free agents that Gustav should look at?

4) Gustav has announced he is stepping down as GM after next season. If this was real how would you react?

5) What are your goals as next season approaches?

6) Berocka has made a cricket sim, what would he need to do to bring you over

 

@BlueMaple @Jer_Lefebvre @Sonnet @McWolf @Velevra @turkey2349 @David O'Quinn @Ahma @Josh @PadStack @Rayzor_7@studentized

[Maple 9]

1. Nothing, as long as laziness didn't get in the way.

2. Not sure. Haven't seen much from the minors

3. Not sure about that either.

4. I'd definitely wish him good luck moving forward.

5. Stop taking penalties.

6. I don't like Cricket.

[PadStack 48]

1) What is the punishment for a late press conference?

 

Drink 4L of milk in 1 sitting

 

2) What players should we look at drafting in the upcoming draft?

 

good ones, hopefully ones better than what we have.

 

3) Are there any free agents that Gustav should look at?

 

I don't know the answer to this.. probably?

 

4) Gustav has announced he is stepping down as GM after next season. If this was real how would you react?

 

Well shit. I was real excited for a while there. I don't like you any more.

 

5) What are your goals as next season approaches?

 

Win more games than lose

 

6) Berocka has made a cricket sim, what would he need to do to bring you over

 

Nothing, I'm not there

[Ahma 1,431]

1) What is the punishment for a late press conference?

10 whips in the back.

2) What players should we look at drafting in the upcoming draft?

Anyone who is known for good players, would enjoy Davos and make a difference.

3) Are there any free agents that Gustav should look at?

Any player that can help us win.

4) Gustav has announced he is stepping down as GM after next season. If this was real how would you react?

I'd be shocked, quite frankly. Gustav gives the feels of a long-term GM. Suddenly leaving would be a big surprise.

5) What are your goals as next season approaches?

Winning the championship.

6) Berocka has made a cricket sim, what would he need to do to bring you over

Has he now? Great. I do not know the answer to that. I have close zero interest in cricket and two sim leagues is enough for me now.

[gorlab 4,321]

1) What is the punishment for a late press conference?

You have to pat your head and rub circles on your stomach for 8 minutes.

 

2) What players should we look at drafting in the upcoming draft?

I think we should be taking a hard look at accquiring L and R, the defensive brothers from Ukraine.

 

3) Are there any free agents that Gustav should look at?

Yes, he should be looking at all of them and deciding which ones could benefit Davos.

 

4) Gustav has announced he is stepping down as GM after next season. If this was real how would you react?

Holy shit, as I read the question I thought it was actually real and had a pit in my stomach. If it was real, I would wish him luck with his irl life and tell  him sim leagues are a waste of time anyways.

 

5) What are your goals as next season approaches?

Rookie of the Year and nothing less. I plan to break the trend and ensure a d-man wins roty in the VHL.

 

6) Berocka has made a cricket sim, what would he need to do to bring you over

I am already there, my player is named VB Longneck and I'm a power batter.

1. A weak slap on the wrist.

2. Bring back gorlab. But don't pick up his brother. We only want gorlab fam.

3. Who even is testing free agency? Everyone is extending with their current team ffs

4.

5. Get a good season. I have been absolutely shit for a 1oa player. I need a good season now.

6. Explain cricket to me one more time.

[Gustav 6,430]

For the week ending 11/8:

 

1. I've been saying for a while now that this offseason is going to be interesting. What are your speculations on what's about to happen?

2. Who wins the finals, Vancouver or Helsinki?

3. Who wins the VHLM finals, Miami or Mississauga?

4. What's one thing you hope to accomplish next season?

5. You get 30 TPE for free, but the catch is that you have to put it all into one attribute, and that attribute has to be below 70. What do you upgrade?

6. How are you in general? Is there anything new in your life?

 

@BlueMaple @Jer_Lefebvre @Sonnet @McWolf @Velevra @turkey2349 @David O'Quinn @Ahma @Josh @PadStack @Rayzor_7@studentized

[Maple 9]

1. I feel like there's a giant trade coming, don't know which teams though.

2. I don't care about both, so Vancouver.

3. It's Miami's time to shine.

4. Eclipse 25 points in a season

5. Leadership or Discipline

6. Doing okay with school and all that jazz.

[Ahma 1,431]

1. I've been saying for a while now that this offseason is going to be interesting. What are your speculations on what's about to happen?

Some crazy trades in usual Gustav fashion and FA signings.

2. Who wins the finals, Vancouver or Helsinki?

It doesn't matter which team wins, because in either case the whole league loses.

3. Who wins the VHLM finals, Miami or Mississauga?

I have no idea. Maybe Mississauga?

4. What's one thing you hope to accomplish next season?

Win games and win the championship.

5. You get 30 TPE for free, but the catch is that you have to put it all into one attribute, and that attribute has to be below 70. What do you upgrade?

I would let regression do some magic and put it in strength. As of right now, it'd be scoring.

6. How are you in general? Is there anything new in your life?

I'm fine but tired.

[PadStack 48]

1. I've been saying for a while now that this offseason is going to be interesting. What are your speculations on what's about to happen?

big trades I think. 

2. Who wins the finals, Vancouver or Helsinki?

 

 Vancouver

3. Who wins the VHLM finals, Miami or Mississauga?

mississauga

4. What's one thing you hope to accomplish next season?

 

I want to make playoffs

 

5. You get 30 TPE for free, but the catch is that you have to put it all into one attribute, and that attribute has to be below 70. What do you upgrade?

 

hmm any one of my secondaries I guess

 

6. How are you in general? Is there anything new in your life?

 

same old COVID life

[gorlab 4,321]

1. I've been saying for a while now that this offseason is going to be interesting. What are your speculations on what's about to happen?

Umm.... don't tell me it's another VHL expansion.... I predict a good draft with L going 1st overall.

 

2. Who wins the finals, Vancouver or Helsinki?

I would have said Helsinki, but Vancouver won it so good for them.

 

3. Who wins the VHLM finals, Miami or Mississauga?

I would have said Mississauga, but Miami won it so good for them. Tough loss for us in the finals, but it is what it is.

 

4. What's one thing you hope to accomplish next season?

Be in the conversation for VHL rookie of the year.

 

5. You get 30 TPE for free, but the catch is that you have to put it all into one attribute, and that attribute has to be below 70. What do you upgrade?

Leadership of course. The most underrated stat in STHS. 

 

6. How are you in general? Is there anything new in your life?

My ear was plugged up with wax today. I bought an ear was removal kit. It didn't immediately work but I'm gonna run through the process a few times and hope for the best.

1. I think we are shooting to get younger and change up the core a little.

 

2.  Wild guess...Vancouver!

 

3. Miami duh......

 

4. I really would like to step up and solidly put my name in the top defender talk.

 

5. Strength probably.  I dont plan on being physical so checking wouldn't make sense for Walker.

 

6.  New team! Things are okay just working lots in this covid world.

[Gustav 6,430]

For the week ending 11/15:

 

1. How do you feel about our chances this season? Will we break out of the run of awful luck the sims have been handing us for a while?

2. What, in your opinion, was the best new addition to our roster--Walker, Tsujimoto, UnGuri, or someone else?

3. Which player do you think is going to win MVP this season?

4. Predict your statline this season!

5. The commissioners approach you saying that they're ready to hand you a position as GM of any team in the league. Do you take it, and which team is it?

6. Where does our roster need help the most? What should we be looking to upgrade?
