Recommended Posts

 

1. What has gone right for your player so far this season?

He's been scoring on the second line or he's been supporting Su on the first line

 

2. What has gone wrong for your player this season?

Not enough hits, far from neough hits. Need more hits.

 

3. What are your thoughts on the new league, the VHLE?

I think it's a pretty good idea, I'm for sure going to play there. Instead of having a bad rookie season with no time on ice and limited roles. Will be better to have a fun different year in te VHLE.

 

4. What should the championship trophy be called in the VHLE?

No idea to be honest

 

5. What attribute do you value more - skating or puck handling?

Puck handling.

 

6. How has the team performed relative to your expectations so far?

Would expect a couple of more Ws and better diffence

6. How has the team performed relative to your expectations so far?

1. So far I've been scoring at an okay pace. Nothing mind blowing, about the same as I was last season.

 

2. Feels like I'm still losing a lot more faceoffs than I'm winning. Wouldn't mind a few more "pluses" and a few less "minuses".

 

3. I'm hearing a lot of negative feedback about it, but I'm all for it. The more the merrier.

 

4. I'm not sure. Something that celebrates the cooperation between neighbouring European states? The Union Cup or something?

 

5. This is a tough one. In real life hockey I have good hands but am not super fast. In VHL I am prioritizing puck handling slightly above skating.

 

6. A little bit worse than expected, but it's still early.

1. I'm on a playoff team

2. Not scoring as much as previous seasons

3. Not a fan

4. Have a generic name for the first few seasons, then name it after a player who won it a bunch

5. Puck Handling

6. Good, happy that we're in a playoff spot

Nothing really, i have not been very good this season sadly

Honestly as im done after Askarov my opinion is not really important.

The Russian Cup ;) of course haha

Skating i suppose as im a goalie so neither is very big for me

Showed our average age for sure, its clear we are inconsistent an struggling.

1. Who is our team's MVP so far this season?

I would go with Nathan Perry, what an incredible seeing he is having.

 

2. If you could pick an ideal time for sims to be posted each and every day, what time would it be?

I think between 12-3 pm would be the most ideal.

 

3. What do you think the trade deadline will look like for us?

I think it won't be very busy for us. We have a great team and been playing well so far.

 

4. What is the best part of having Ricer as a GM?

He puts a lot of thought into lines/strats which is helping this team progress. He has also put together a very solid team.

 

5. Who do you sit next to in the locker room? What is it like to sit with them?

Sit next to Prout...always smells of beer!

 

6. The VHLE staff gives you permission to name one of the league's new teams however you'd like. What do you name your VHLE team? (Keep in mind, the city must be European)

I would name a team after my hometown.

1. I think Tina from bobsburgs has my vote, what a player on the ice and off.

2. It doesn’t bug me too bad, but maybe earlier in the mourning may be alright.

3. Honestly not too sure, i leave that to the GM, AGM.

4. Ricer is a good friend and an even better boss.

5. No idea, i always assumed they had me by myself in the corner lol.

6. The Rothenburg ob der Tauber Ice Dawgs

Nathan Perry.

Trading our depth players will be the good thing to do.

Locker Room being very active.

Nathan Perry

2. If you could pick an ideal time for sims to be posted each and every day, what time would it be?

Well I'm from Latvia, so it would be great if sims would be in day time not when i am asleep. I would pick some time that will be good for North America and Europe.

3. What do you think the trade deadline will look like for us?

I don't know I like our team so i hope i won't leave.

4. What is the best part of having Ricer as a GM?

 I like the lineups and locker room is pretty active.

5. Who do you sit next to in the locker room? What is it like to sit with them?

I have no idea, i would guess i sit next to Tallinder, since we both are rookies and played for Minessota in VHLM before.

6. The VHLE staff gives you permission to name one of the league's new teams however you'd like. What do you name your VHLE team? (Keep in mind, the city must be European)

Dynamo Riga for Latvian team in KHL.

1. Who is our team's MVP so far this season?

For me, it's gotta be @Prout so far. The man is one of two of our core defense, he has the highest plus/minus rating, and he's tallied 28 points and 89 blocked shots. He's a tank. 

 

2. If you could pick an ideal time for sims to be posted each and every day, what time would it be?

Midday EST. Just would be nicer for me. But I honestly don't care because I don't need to check it straight away. Once it's posted it's always there. 

 

3. What do you think the trade deadline will look like for us?

We'll probably try to bring in one more veteran defenseman. Our offensive core is progressing nicely but we need to give @Gooningitupsome more support - although last sim was absolute perfection!

 

4. What is the best part of having Ricer as a GM?

The office gifs @Ricer13. That and just his general aura of awesome. 

 

 

5. Who do you sit next to in the locker room? What is it like to sit with them?

I sit next to fellow draftee @Greg_Di. He smells a bit. Or maybe that's me? I don't know. He's great either way. 

 

6. The VHLE staff gives you permission to name one of the league's new teams however you'd like. What do you name your VHLE team? (Keep in mind, the city must be European)

I'll bring back the Madrid Thunder

1.  I would have to say perry. Hes been been amazing this year.

 

2. 3pm est. I don't know why just a nice time.

 

3. I think adding another big defender would be ideal.

 

4. The best? that's really difficult. I'm kidding. I think the best part is that he is super supportive of his players and also understand that real life comes first no matter what.

 

5. I'm more of a lone dog in the corner. I don't really pay attention to who I sit next too. 

 

6. I'd like to see a team in Switzerland. I would say maybe Zürich Zombies or something like that.

1. Perry, Prout, or Askarov, take your pick. 

2. I like where they're at right now, usually around 3pm pacific/6pm eastern.

3. Not sure where we're at on cap space, but I'm perfectly happy to roll with the team we've got.

4. He's a pretty active and enthusiastic GM, but more than that he's a pretty good dude who's fun to talk to. And a Canucks fan.

5. I think myself and Phil "The Rock" Johnson would be the guys sitting way off in the corner trying to hide our beer cans from the coach.

6. The Bielefeld Cryptids.

1. Definitely getting the win against Moscow on my birthday, great feeling

2. Not yet, I better get on it.

3. From the looks of things were going to have a positive future, I would love to be apart of that.

4. I wanted to be a good goalie in the league, have a successful career.

1. https://vhlportal.com/vhl/78/VHL78-57.html
Down 4-1 against the
defending champs and top team in the league Seattle Bears, claw our way back and win in the shootout.

 

2. I just did a list of team location/name/branding/colour schemes a few minutes ago. I've been doing weekly podcasts for my main point tasks lately, and thought I'd do a written one this time around.

 

3. We're good right, and we're still growing. Our window is just opening, and should stay open for a few seasons.

 

4. Same as now: no lust for glory or personal stats whatsoever, just want to play for a fun team.

 

5. Not at all. Still just want to have fun with good people.

 

6. "Voting Steve Eso into the Hall of Fame? You guys are even more drunk than I am!"

To win a cup and win a defensive award before I retire.

Nope, still keeping those goals and hopefully they will come true.

1. What has been the most memorable game for you so far this season? Probably having Walkers first game with us or opening night playing with guys like Su

 

2. Do you have any plans for theme week? Anything you've already posted? I’ve posted a shitty article as the usual 

 

3. What excites you most about our team's future? The deep prospect pool that’s been drafted here since Ricer took over. That’s exciting as this team is young and fairly competitive now.

 

4. When you created your player, what were your career goals? To not suck and to learn

 

5. How have those goals changed since then? Stayed the same. Now it’s play consistent 

 

6. If you were inducted into the VHL Hall of Fame, what would be the opening line to your speech? It’d go like this “ holy shit ladies gents and everyone else who the hell expected this ?”

1. What are you going to miss the most from Patrik Tallinder after stepping down as an ASM?

 

2. How do you feel about your stats currently? Should they be better or is it over your initial expecations?

 

3. The trade deadline is near, what do you think should we do that will help us in our playoff run?

 

4. What did you do for theme week?

 

5. Calgary has 3 players that will possibly reach 40 goals, which is crazy on a single team. Do you think it's a good strategy for the playoff on relying on 3 guys to score?

 

6. Will you be playing in the VHLE with your next player? (If you're still planning to sick around)

2. I did an interview about my thoughts on the vhle.

 

3. I think with the growth that the team is going through we have an exciting future that has the possibility to be extremely successful.

 

4. To just be as a big as a contributor as possible.

 

5. No not really. Right now my focus has moved towards updating and progressing as much as possible.

 

6. "I did what now?"

6. Intentionally tanking my draft stock truly was the wisest decision I have ever made.
