5. Keep slowly improving and contribute to our season however I can. 

6. Meatball sub without a doubt. Can't beat it.

good! Feeling pumped about the start of the season. It’s my last one so I have to make it count!!

On 3/20/2024 at 5:12 PM, leandrofg said:

2. How are you feeling about the new season?

oh, I kind of answers this backwards. Feeling good! Spent the off-season really fighting off depreciation and I think I did a pretty good job of it!

3. The team went through deep changes. How do you feel about the team's activity in the offseason?

lots of changes indeed. The moves are pretty strategic, as it allows us to stay competitive while also setting us up for the future.

4. The team had a great draft. How do you feel about this class?

didn’t look into it deeply. Definitely grabbed a couple of key pieces to carry the franchise forward though.

 

 

On 3/20/2024 at 5:12 PM, leandrofg said:

5. What's your personal goal for the season?

career highs in some stat lines. Preferably assists and shots blocked

1. Strasmore is now all time leader in regular season hits for the Wranglers. What do you want to tell the Calgary die hard.

2. Davos and LA seem to take an early bye to the Playoffs. Which teams do you think will also suffer from an early off-season?

3. If Strasmore was a cocktail, what cocktail would he be? Elaborate your choice.

4. Why are the Wranglers the best team in NA (and arguably in the league)?

5. What will you do for the (long) weekend (if you have one)?

6. What was the first board game you played and what memories do you have?

1) He’s a killer! Nice work dude! 
2) hard to say, been focused on adjusting to my new villa in Prague. 
3) high proof Bourbon…on the rocks. He’s a classic, little rough around the edges but always gets the job done. 
4) got rid of dead weight during the off-season..lol, or at the least upgraded from Rips lack of physicality. 
5) family time, good food, whiskey. 
6) battleship, I sucked at it…and I was initially disappointed that there wasn’t actually bombs sinking the opponents ships.

1. Calgary is in a rut. To better the team spirit the Wrangler organize a team building event. What is it and why?

2. The Wranglers want to support a charity and ask players for a worthy cause. What is your suggestion and why?

3. The team go to a karaoke bar. Who is the first one on stage, what song do they pick and how off key do they sing?

4. The City of Calgary asks for help in making the town beautiful (again?). What task does your player volunteer for?

5. If you were a fish, what fish were you (for the purpose of this question any waterlocked creatures are considered fish (i.e. whales, dolphins, squids, jellyfish etc are viable answers) and why does that particular animal appeal to you?

6. Today I witnessed a bird of pray strike another bird. What was your highlight of the day?

1. The Wranglers have decided to all host a dinner on top of the Saddledome roof. It was quite the experience. Oh, and naturally, Lafontaine was there too.

2. Definitely would be have to be the Calgary Food Bank. Food is such an important thing for people to have and I think it would definitely be a worthy cause.

3. Randy Bobandy, Josh Turner's Your Man, and he absolutely kills it somehow. Who could've known? He's got killer pipes.

4. Raimo decided to help the City of Calgary demolish Marlborough Mall.

5. Would definitely have to be an octopus, having 8 arms seems to be really cool. Plus I'd be one of those ones that could camoflauge. Being able to camoflauge seems awesome.

6. I was working on a computer science assignment from 2-7. On a Sunday. That's post-sec life I guess.

1. charades, a lot of chemistry building could be formed from a simple game of charades

2. food bank drive and soup kitchen, we all could use a good free food day

3. AGM Daniel Janser, beautiful singer

4. Sending post cards of Osler to Calgary

5. maybe electric eel, deadly and static

1. Despite Leandro's best efforts, we could not land Daryl Dixon. Instead our long time GM will dress for Seattle. How mad from 0 (don't care) to 10 (Fuck da Bearz) are you? Elaborate.

2. Last week we were presented with a lot of rebranding suggestions. Which one is the best one you have seen?

3. And the worst?

4. How many games will Vancouver win this season and why?

5. What is your guilty pleasure food?

I’m not mad, just disappointed. Obviously missing out on a generational talent is tough to swallow, and considering how synonymous with calgary his Player Agent is, even more so. But I love da Bearz so there you have it.

I’m a troglodyte so I haven’t had the pleasure of reading or seeing or listening to any other ideas. I’m sure they were inferior to my idea though - get rid of Stockholm Vikings out of spite and relocate to the former vhl team Madrid Thunder

35 because it’s a pure guess.

Alcohol for sure. A nice whiskey or IPA, depending on the mood. Tequila Pinks have their charm too

1. As we edge closer to the end of the season, we've found ourselves improving our game. How good does that feel?

2. Can we keep it going for the foreseeable future?

3. What will it take for us to grab that wildcard opportunity?

4. Do you think a wildcard team can make a difference in the playoffs?

5. Talking of playoffs... are you supporting a playoff team in the Stanley Cup Playoffs?

6. If you could create a new rule for hockey, what would it be?

1. Feels good to see we were able make it click through the ups and downs. I love to see that despite roster changes and some initial rockiness, we were able to find our groove and pull it together.

2. I believe so and I believe we need to. This is a great chance for us to push forward with an excellent group of players.

3. As of now, one win. I want to see two wins if possible but claiming that WC spot is most important.

4. Depends on the team and how they got to Wild Card. For our squad, I think we fought and earned a chance to get a Wild Card position rather than just ending up there by chance.

5. My team (Flames) were eliminated so I'm gunning for the Winnipeg Jets. I want Sean Monahan to win a cup.

6. BRING BACK THE ROVER POSITION! Now the "rover" position has less meaning as all skaters enter the offensive zone but I think it'd be cool to just have a role where they can really do whatever they want and get creative. I could imagine a defensive style rover or even just having a really crafty offensive styled rover.

Crashing for some TPE! 
1) Happy the wranglers are improving, wish nothing by success for my old stomping grounds. 
2) Yes, solid GM and foundation. The future is bright! 
3) keep stacking wins! 
4) I think the teams at the top, especially Prague are just too physical and talented…so no. 
5) I’m rooting for oilers. Like to see McJesus get a cup. And the kraken shit the bed. 
6) Varying penalty time based on the severity and duration of a fight.

1. Improving ones game and oneself is the best feeling out there, regardless of how meaningful or meaningless the overall picture might be

2. The future will only grow brighter, if you don't believe in your game then you won't be able to win

3. step one, believe. Step two work hard. Step three win.

4. Wildcard teams could always make a difference in the playoffs. The playoffs is a whole new and different beast

5. I am. I support and I homer.

6. Delay of game penalty for keeping the puck on the side boards for too long

2. The core will be already missing a few big pieces from retirement, unless that is not the core?

3. Headed up to the big show?

1. Looks like Calgary had the talent and everything, didn't do the worst either so maybe it was just a bad season this time around.

2. Ofc! With new talent being added to the team in the next season (assuming there are some players moving up to the VHL), the core will probably need to be adjusted with the new additions.

3. Gotta prepare for the move to Germany! Sooner or later my player will get to the big show.

4. I'm a little too late to answer this question but it was well fought over with them taking it to game 7! Congrats to Seattle

5. It was neat to watch such a talented player excel in the big show, he had a good career throughout it all o7

6. Anyone that I've met thus far, I'm confident I could survive with anyone

6. Which is your preferred season and why?

1. I'm not the most familiar with which FAs are currently available this off-season but after reading an above response, I think Harry Callahan would be an EXCELLENT pick-up. Although I trust the direction of the GM for this rebuild.

2. Definitely a bittersweet moment as Randy and AJ have been close to me and my player. It'll be interesting to see if I can fill the shoes that he left. As much as I'll miss Randy, I can't wait to see what we do moving forward with the picks.

3. Really excited to have you on the team and I can't wait to see the chaos and havoc we'll wreak on the VHL as teammates!

4. Keep up the good work, see you very soon, and have fun with it. You will definitely be a big part of our future and I can't wait to see what you can do in a Wranglers uniform!

5. Joker and the Thief is such a catchy song, I just can't stop listening to it.

6. Winter; I agree, ODR season is just the best. Plus, it's free!

1. It's called a rebuild, so no FA required, come from within

2. A surprise, but asset management to help quicken a rebuild

3. I can't say much to myself

4. Work hard and play hard, enjoy the quick improvements of the minor leagues and come up to the majors as soon as you can

5. I haven't thought about what is my favourite

6. 83, first player award in the VHL

Answer 3 for 1 TPE / 6 for 2 TPE

 

1. We made three roster altering preseason transactions. Traded away Star Randy Bobandy, traded for Rookie Starter David Slezak, and calling up Rookie Forward Miner vHLer. How will these 3 transactions affect our season in S94?

 

2. We are running a 6 F, 3D, 1G line up. A line up style that won the Warsaw Predators their Cup in S84. Is there any shape or form that we could pull of a miracle to match that feat from 10 season ago?

 

3. What are your thoughts on the season debuts for our two rookies?

 

4. How do you feel your player will do in S94?

 

5. Who do you feel will be our team MVP, and why?

 

6. There is no more Arizona Coyotes (at least for now) in the NHL, what team name would you give the new Utah based team?
