ANSWER 6 FOR 2 TPE

1. We've been on a roll! What a run it's been in this second half the season. Great to see. Let's see what we can do in the playoffs.

 

2. Get my scoring up as high as I can.

 

3. Like Kotkaniemi.

 

4. Worst on the best team! It's all about cups, baby.

 

5. I haven't played a lot of phone games recently. Probably Wordle, even though it's just a website and not an actual app. They have apps that copy it though.

 

6. Love it. I probably don't vibe to it as much as I did with DAMN or TPAB, but it's a very solid album.

3. Hitting everything but not enough hitting

4. Working on conditioning, getting those hands and feet checked up

5. To go to endless consecutive finals

1. No I do not think so. It just appears we are the best of the retooling team of which there seems no lack of in the NA conference.

2. I think we have a shot at anyone and can go further than the first round (and if only to annoy the VSN pundits). And to give the Rock a farewell with a bang, as he deserves.

3. First and foremost as a LR presence and good friend/team mate. I think his presence off the ice is what defines Phil. The presence on the ice is more felt by the opposition with his own record breaking 40+ goals in the regular season and the new all time record he set in hits for the franchise. A franchise that exists since the dawn of time itself. I think Phil set the gold standard for a two way player for years to come.

4. Not much different than for any other game. Take one game at the time, stay in the moment and try to do the small things right.

5. To be a valuable piece to the team they are playing for. If by doing so any silverware comes their way, all the better.

6. hmm that is difficult. But maybe all the Bud Spencer/Terence Hill flicks which make me reminisce of my boyhood.

Well I was just about to post my own questions but I guess I’ll just answers yours instead .

 

1. Defiantly mr Landon he has me very hyped!

 

2. Definitely up their maybe not a chip but up their!

 

3. It’s gonna be a big hole in the locker room and in the rink I feel as a team we will still be great!

 

4. Good for them considering how much the meta “stole” cups from them!

 

5. My player even though I doubt it!

 

6. 10, how can you not be excited!

[DollarAndADream 3,356]

1. Have you been following the S83 WJC? Your thoughts on all the exciting prospects?

2. Team Europe won Gold on Friday, with a 3-2 win over Team Asia. Your thoughts?

3. With the S84 Draft that happened on Thursday, what are your thoughts on the picks that the Wranglers made?

4. Any sleeper picks in the S84 Draft that you think will do better than where they were picked?

5. Any Free Agents that you would be excited to pick up?

6. Who do you think will make the biggest splash in FA?

6. Who do you think will make the biggest splash in FA?

1. I have as I was 'helping' Leandro to coach Team Europe to undying gold glory. We should keep an eye on this Gonçalves @leandrofg guy, he has potential

2. Yeah Baby, maybe a foreshadowing for Calgary success as we had two CGY prospects/players in the squad.

3. Solid picks imo, hoping that Boudreaux will not share the same fate as the majority of the last few GK the Wranglers picked...

4. There are a few which could have picked earlier but weren't due to positional needs or ties to certain franchises.

5. The one I was most excited about we did bring back with Jokinen @jRuutu. I was smelling blood when he published his criticism on Helsinki's brass and immediately checked his contract status. Low and behold he was on an expiring contract and we needed experience in the D...

6. I have not staked out the other teams but it does not matter, we have a good team and Moscow as well as Seattle are beyond their pinnacle (or so it seems) time for a change of guard, I say.

3. It has been great, personally. Team Europe's run in the WJC was amazing and we ended up getting a gold medal for it!

4. Really tall! What's the drawback? Ducking under doors, seeing dust on top of shelves?

5. Pro Athlete, easy.

6. Pro Football Player. I'm a Portuguese basic bitch.

6. What is/was your dream job growing up?

 

 

1. I feel great. Being picked in the first round was an honor and being on Calgary is just the cherry on top.

 

2. A big buff dude with a huge beard. He's ready to crush everyone.

 

3. This offseason is looking good and feeling good. I'm getting lots of training in and I'm getting ready for opening day.

 

4. Both would be a nuisance. I'd probably go with tall.

 

5. Musical artist easily. That way your art will be cherished forever.

 

6. My dream job was being a roller coaster designer. Of course, I was afraid of them. "How are you going to build them if you can't ride them." - My dad. 

[jRuutu 2,464]

1. How do you feel about Calgary draft picks?

Looking good, no wingers though - I think, but otherwise it's looking like a balanced group, talented players for every position.

 

2. What does your player “look” like.

Jacked Wayne Gretzky

 

3. How do you feel about this VHL off season?

There has been quite few moves, and FA movement too, a lot better than the trade deadline.

 

4. Would your rather be really tall or really short?

Really short, you don't hit your head to the ceiling when you dance in the car.

 

5. Would you rather be a pro athlete or a musical artist?

Musical artist.

 

6. What is/was your dream job growing up?

Car salesman.

6. What is/was your dream job growing up?

 

 

1. A nice group of players. I think we mostly took BPA, which is always a good pick.

2. A mix between Saku Koivu and Jesperi Kotkaniemi.

3. Same as any other one for me. Just a waiting game until I get some more games.

4. Tall, I think.

5. Probably music. A rapper or singer or something. Overall, they make more money and there's more down time if you want it. Athlete is a good choice too. I'd love to play hockey as a career.

6. Growing up I wanted to be a lawyer. That's just when I was a kid though.

1. Canada deserves another team, so either Montreal or Ottawa!
2. There's a new Minions movie!?
3. I really don't know.
4. One of you is barely 5 feet, the other has to duck to enter the house.
5. Too much money is easier to budget.
6. Arctic Monkeys, AM is the one that comes to mind.

[jRuutu 2,464]

1. What city do you think should have a VHL team?

Quebec, of course.

 

2. Will you be seeing the new minions movie?

More than likely not.

 

3. If you could change one thing about the VHL what would it be?

Less hockey, more politics.

 

4. How tall do you think me and Ricer are!

As tall as you feel on a specific day.

 

5. Would your rather have too much money or no money?

No money, then I would have a goal of reaching too much money. If I have too much money, the goal of reaching no money seems less glamorous.

 

6. Favorite album of all time?

A Holly Dolly Christmas by Dolly Parton

1. I think Long Island would be fun. 2 New York teams like Rangers / Islanders (Screw Buffalo).

2. Absolutely not. What the hell is that.

3. A better clarification of Job Pay for no reason what so ever. Still have a lot of questions.

4. I think Ben is 5'10" and Ricer is easily 6'5". No idea why but I think Ricer is tall as hell.

5. Too much money. I'd rather have money to do stuff.

6. Welcome to the Black Parade is a dope album.
