1. We have allowed the least amount of goals among all VHL teams so far this season. What can you attribute this to? Good defensive play, great goaltending, or a mix of both?

 

2. With the trade deadline approaching, how do you think we could improve our roster the most? Or do you think we have the cup winning team here already?

 

3. We are going to have a very high pick in the S76 Draft with Riga's 1st rounder. Any prospects you like from the upcoming draft?

 

4. We are having a team potluck for the holiday season. What do you bring?

 

5. You notice some extremely abnormal food at the team potluck. What is it, and who do you think brought it?

 

6. What is your VHL New Years resolution?

1. Definitely great defensive play, our defense is a brick wall.

 

2. I'm confident in our team currently.

 

3. Tom Eagles maybe? He's a solid defensive player. I don't know much first round prospects.

 

4. I'm bringing some barbecue pizza.

 

5. It's some macaroni salad and I think it's Dayne's. Not bad though.

 

6. Win a Continental Cup.

6. What is your VHL New Years resolution?

1. General Zod has been key on the blue line, but he couldn't do it by himself. Our whole defense core has been solid and Lafontaine has been great.

2. We have a cup winning team already, but there is always room for improvement. Maybe some more forward depth, or another solid blue liner.

3. Red Lite would be a great pickup

4. General Zod is bringing his homemade meat sauce and Zod's famous meatloaf.

5. I saw some cranberry things that look like blood clots. Whoever brought them will pay the price.

6. Get back into media spots. I've been a little lazy recently, just claiming welfare since now I can get 5 instead of just 4, but now I'm set for the next four weeks with medias with my most recent.

[Kyle 667]

1. We have allowed the least amount of goals among all VHL teams so far this season. What can you attribute this to? Good defensive play, great goaltending, or a mix of both?

I think everyone is committing to playing in both ends.

 

2. With the trade deadline approaching, how do you think we could improve our roster the most? Or do you think we have the cup winning team here already?

I think we can keep rolling with what we have.

 

3. We are going to have a very high pick in the S76 Draft with Riga's 1st rounder. Any prospects you like from the upcoming draft?

I don't know a ton about the draft to tell you the truth.

 

4. We are having a team potluck for the holiday season. What do you bring?

Beef stew

 

5. You notice some extremely abnormal food at the team potluck. What is it, and who do you think brought it?

Probably me

 

6. What is your VHL New Years resolution?

win a championship

Everyone contributes when you are number 1 in anything. Including goals allowed. 

Could use some offense, then cup hoe.

Dont follow drafts anyone who helps us win a guess

Vodka cuz im a russian sterotype

Probably the french goalie Lafontaine hes a weirdo. 

Win a cup before i retire for good from the VHL. 

[ThePerfectNut 563]

1. We have allowed the least amount of goals among all VHL teams so far this season. What can you attribute this to? Good defensive play, great goaltending, or a mix of both?

Not only do we have the best goaltender in the league, but our defense is doing extremely well on defence and our forwards are willing to block some shots too.

 

2. With the trade deadline approaching, how do you think we could improve our roster the most? Or do you think we have the cup winning team here already?

We already have the cup winning team and we can't really improve the roster without sacrificing someone. Our rookies are doing very well so I don't think they should be trade bait for better players.

 

3. We are going to have a very high pick in the S76 Draft with Riga's 1st rounder. Any prospects you like from the upcoming draft?

I would love to get Red Lite if possible. A future superstar in the league, but our team needs a d-men because we will lose a d-men. So mabby Tom Eagles or Battre Sandstrom.

 

4. We are having a team potluck for the holiday season. What do you bring?

Im from Sweden. I dont know what that is.

 

5. You notice some extremely abnormal food at the team potluck. What is it, and who do you think brought it?

Prob Byrne.

 

6. What is your VHL New Years resolution?

Try not to get banned. Key word, try.

[Patrik Tallinder 1,087]

1. The World Juniors are starting back up! Is this tournament something you pay attention to each season?

 

2. What did you ask @VHL Santa to bring you for Christmas?

 

3. We're on the road, and the whole team gathers in someone's hotel room to play on their gaming console. What game do we all play on there?

 

4. What player attribute do you think is the most underrated?

 

5. If you could compare your player to any NHL player, who would it be?

 

6. If you could add one team to the VHL, where would they be located, and what would the name be?

1. Not really, but I always root for USA

2. A knee brace for those that kneel before Zod

3. NHL of course, and Zod is the guy who tries to fight at every faceoff and just bull rushes every player possible

4. Strength, every player should get it to 75 or 80, even scoring forwards.

5. Chara, for his huge size, and Adam Pelech, for his shutdown abilities.

6. Of course, we are bringing back the Vasteras Iron Eagles. They never should have left in the first place.

1. Definitely, it's fun to watch potential future superstars give us a taste of what they could be.

2. All I want for Christmas is a Continental Cup.

3. I'm going NHL 20 or maybe even some good ol' Mario Kart.

4. Penalty Shot. At the end of the day, shootout wins are shootout wins. At least try to put 4-5 tpe there to be safe.

5. I'd say Jakob Markstrom. Solid player, just tends to make a few bad gambles.

6. Quebec City Voyageurs. Cmon, they've lost both their NHL team and their VHL team once. It's a tragedy that Quebec City hasn't had a team in a while.

6. What is your VHL New Years resolution?

1. Our young defense has continued to improve, while Laffy continues to be the best.

 

2. Hmm. I think we traded for someone? I don't remember. I have an 11 month old baby, my memory goes back three hours.

 

3. No, but I haven't paid any attention.

 

4. I make this lemon-chicken-egg soup, it's great.

 

5. It's tomacco salad, brought by Kosmo.

 

6. I'm trying doing my best to keep up a consistent production level. Don't mess with what's working.

We score goals lol jk umm Tallinder or Jubis i suppose

Heavy rock type, something that fits the Dragons name

Whoever we can beat easiest, so whoever wins this series let them be the worse of the 2.

We are gunna need a head turner from one of our offensive players. Or a playoff mvp performance from our goalie.

Not losing in regulation yet, in my career

Frosty the original

[Mike 708]

1. Me Mann of course but I never score so no one gets to see them.

 

2. Vivaldi Five Seasons (lol idk)

 

3. At this rate Seattle.

 

4. We are going to comeback and win this round and my player is going to be playoff hero.

 

5. First VHL cup win as GM of Toronto way back in the pre teen seasons.

 

6. Grinch Jim Carey?!

[Patrik Tallinder 1,087]

1. Our offseason has officially begun. How would you say this season went for you from an individual standpoint?

 

2. How well do you think our team did this season?

 

3. What do you plan on working on in the offseason?

 

4. Where do you spend your offseasons? Back home, on vacation, or in Calgary?

 

5. Who are you cheering for in the playoffs now that we're out?

 

6. What are your goals for next season?

[BOOM 8,726]

First. Come on Wranglers FFS.

 

1. Our offseason has officially begun. How would you say this season went for you from an individual standpoint?

 

Decent. Sub 70 point season but my build wasn't great. Improving on that moving forward.

 

2. How well do you think our team did this season?

 

I have no idea. Actually, I remember you were impressive this season. Sorry you exited early.

 

3. What do you plan on working on in the offseason?

 

Overall build for offensive defenseman. Capable of doing better than this season with the Marlins.

 

4. Where do you spend your offseasons? Back home, on vacation, or in Calgary?

 

Back in prison. I only play VHL while on day release.

 

5. Who are you cheering for in the playoffs now that we're out?

 

I like Moscow from the EU and DC from the NA. Unsure why but I find those two interesting.

 

6. What are your goals for next season?

 

Be added to a VHL roster and continue to build a contributing player for my team.

6. What are your goals for next season?

1. Pretty well. I came close to my 15 goal goal, and my overall point total was solid.

 

2. The season itself was great. Not so much the post season.

 

3. First priority is Puck Handling to 95.

 

4. Vacation. There's not enough bars in Calgary.

 

5. No one is worthy.

 

6. 17 goals and a cup.

1) Meh. I was hoping for more because of the new role as #1, but Zod wasn't as good as I hoped. He wasn't bad though, and he started to pick it up late in the season.

 

2) We were great in the regular season, as advertised. Unfortunately come playoff time we just forgot how to play.

 

3) Skating, and maybe a touch into scoring. I'm getting very close to finishing off Zod's player build.

 

4) I usually like to go back to my home planet Krypton, but they won't let me because of COVID restrictions. It's nonsense, don't they know who I am? A kryptonian would never fall ill to some puny human disease.

 

5) Malmo. They were my old team, would love to see them win a cup.

 

6) Finish with 70 points or more. I'm not sure how likely this is, but I had a 66 point year once so maybe I can pull this off.

1. This season was a meh season for me. I was good but not good enough.

2. We did well, maybe we could've done better, but oh well. I'm proud of this team either way.

3. Controlling the puck more, maybe even try better skating.

4. It's a split between Calgary and Saskatoon. Nothing like revisiting old fans and I just love the people there. Same with Calgary, it's a nice city and has some pretty good restaurants.

5. I'm cheering for Chicago, even though they beat us.

6. My goals are to win a Continental Cup.

4. John Merrick. Now there's a deep cut.

 

5. Kapuskasing and Bornholm.

 

6. Honestly, wouldn't worry about it, our offseasons are super short.
