Yes. Websimhockey is great @FacePuncher there are other hockey manager leagues I've been in the past, but not anymore. I assume this question was about sim leagues as in VHL, SHL and PBE types of sim leagues.

For the week ending 10/4!

 

1. You've probably been asked a million times in these press conference threads what your "pregame ritual" is. What do you do after games?

2. Who's your favorite NHL team and what's the worst thing about them?

3. Last week, I asked who your favorite sports figure of all time was. Who's your least favorite, in any sport?

4. We've been...inconsistent lately, beating first-place Riga one day and losing to expansion Warsaw the next. What's your general outlook on our chances this season?

5. Which GM, apart from myself, do you know the best? Are there any GMs who you haven't talked to much or at all?

6. Is there anything you wish the league did or offered that it currently doesn't?

 

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

[Ahma 1,426]

1. You've probably been asked a million times in these press conference threads what your "pregame ritual" is. What do you do after games?

You've already asked this...? I don't remember what I answered last time, but I guess it's still the same.

2. Who's your favorite NHL team and what's the worst thing about them?

Montreal Canadiens. Our GM is the worst thing, Bergevin makes horrible trades and gives unnecessary high amount of money to players who don't deserve it.

3. Last week, I asked who your favorite sports figure of all time was. Who's your least favorite, in any sport?

Boston Bruins as a whole.

4. We've been...inconsistent lately, beating first-place Riga one day and losing to expansion Warsaw the next. What's your general outlook on our chances this season?

I'm always positive with out chances, so I'd say great.

5. Which GM, apart from myself, do you know the best? Are there any GMs who you haven't talked to much or at all?

Interesting question. I don't know any of them that well, Victor and hedgehog would be ones I know a little of. 6 GM's I haven't talked to at all.

6. Is there anything you wish the league did or offered that it currently doesn't?

Better treatment of welfare/pension players

[PadStack 48]

 

For the week ending 10/4!

 

1. You've probably been asked a million times in these press conference threads what your "pregame ritual" is. What do you do after games?

 

Smell my jock.

 

2. Who's your favorite NHL team and what's the worst thing about them?

 

Edmonton. They suck and can't win.

 

3. Last week, I asked who your favorite sports figure of all time was. Who's your least favorite, in any sport?

 

Claude lemieux. He's a douche.

 

4. We've been...inconsistent lately, beating first-place Riga one day and losing to expansion Warsaw the next. What's your general outlook on our chances this season?

 

Fell like we just need better goaltending.

 

5. Which GM, apart from myself, do you know the best? Are there any GMs who you haven't talked to much or at all?

 

Hmm the gm in Ottawa..forget his name.

Free tacos.

[Maple 9]

1. I just go home and keep working for the next game.

1) kick back relax and crush some Beers 

2) The penguins and at this moment our GM lol

3) It’s gotta be Travis Konecny right now I cannot stand him 

4) I think that if we can find a little consistency we will be just fine and have a decent playoffs 

5) Honestly I don’t think I really know any of the other gms in the big leagues 

6) Nah not really I’m pretty satisfied with how things work 

[gorlab 4,321]

nasty gustav not tagging me cuz im not on the team anymore....

 

 

 

1. You've probably been asked a million times in these press conference threads what your "pregame ritual" is. What do you do after games?

I partake in some marijuana and relax in a ice-water bath to regenerate my muscles.

 

2. Who's your favorite NHL team and what's the worst thing about them?

Toronto Maple Leafs and the worst thing about them is their fan base imo. Knew a real prick job who was a diehard Leafs fan and hated em ever since.

 

3. Last week, I asked who your favorite sports figure of all time was. Who's your least favorite, in any sport?

Wow good question, least favourite sports figure all time prob Steve Yzerman? Hated him as an Avs fan and hate how people have the nerve to say Yzerman is better than Sakic.

 

4. We've been...inconsistent lately, beating first-place Riga one day and losing to expansion Warsaw the next. What's your general outlook on our chances this season?

I think this ssn is the start of Davos' contentending window with the current core, and I expect playoffs but 1st or 2nd round elim.

 

5. Which GM, apart from myself, do you know the best? Are there any GMs who you haven't talked to much or at all?

I'd say I know Victor the best, even though a lot of Victor's allure is through his mystique. Least known probably Jubo07 for sure.

 

6. Is there anything you wish the league did or offered that it currently doesn't?

Yeah, give graphic makers more respect.

[Gustav 6,395]

For the week ending 10/11:

 

1. You catch former player Jet Jaguar burning incense and performing some sort of ritual to try to make the team better. The locker room now has an overwhelming essential-oil smell. What's your go-to scent to make things more tolerable?

2. All jokes aside, what's the root of our problems in the sims lately? Things haven't been going so hot.

3. @Beketov has a stroke one day and wakes up saying we need to bring back Project Player Two. Do you make a second player? If so, what would your plans be for them?

4. What's your favorite logo in either league, VHL or VHLM?

5. If you could have any real-life job (or field of study) in the world other than your current one, what would it be? If you're not yet at career-finding age, what job would you like to have in the future?

6. Which player on our team is most likely to win in a fight? Who's most likely to lose?

 

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

[Maple 9]

1. Something minty or something like that. 

2. Honestly, I don't know. Maybe bad defensive tactics?

3. Sure, we always could use more defense.

4. Probably the Miami logo.

5. Probably a color commentator for SNF.

6. I will definitely do well, and I'm not sure who would lose.

[PadStack 48]

1. You catch former player Jet Jaguar burning incense and performing some sort of ritual to try to make the team better. The locker room now has an overwhelming essential-oil smell. What's your go-to scent to make things more tolerable?

 

My jock strap 

 

2. All jokes aside, what's the root of our problems in the sims lately? Things haven't been going so hot.

 

Probably just bad luck. Shit like this happens.

 

3. @Beketov has a stroke one day and wakes up saying we need to bring back Project Player Two. Do you make a second player? If so, what would your plans be for them?

 

What is project player?

 

4. What's your favorite logo in either league, VHL or VHLM?

 

I think Malmo. I like the look and colors.

 

5. If you could have any real-life job (or field of study) in the world other than your current one, what would it be? If you're not yet at career-finding age, what job would you like to have in the future?

 

This one, professional goalie.

 

6. Which player on our team is most likely to win in a fight? Who's most likely to lose?

 

I'm most likely to win or lose depending on the day.

[Ahma 1,426]

1. You catch former player Jet Jaguar burning incense and performing some sort of ritual to try to make the team better. The locker room now has an overwhelming essential-oil smell. What's your go-to scent to make things more tolerable?

The sweatier the better.

2. All jokes aside, what's the root of our problems in the sims lately? Things haven't been going so hot.

I have no idea. Chemistry issue? Also none of our forwards are aggressive hitters.

3. @Beketov has a stroke one day and wakes up saying we need to bring back Project Player Two. Do you make a second player? If so, what would your plans be for them?

I would never wish anyone to have a stroke. I don't know if I'd make a second player. I would have two players doing the same exact thing, collecting welfare. I guess it'd be kinda cool though.

4. What's your favorite logo in either league, VHL or VHLM?

5. If you could have any real-life job (or field of study) in the world other than your current one, what would it be? If you're not yet at career-finding age, what job would you like to have in the future?

Something ice hockey related would be awesome.

6. Which player on our team is most likely to win in a fight? Who's most likely to lose?

Owen Nolan would win fights no doubt. Winter is a bit of a... he'd lose 9/10 times.

[Gustav 6,395]

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?
