  Wranglers Press Conference 

Answering three questions gets you 1 Capped TPE

Answering six questions gets you 2 Capped TPE

 

1. Helsinki. Toronto. Who do you have winning?

2. Are you participating in any off-season tournament?

2. The holidays are here! Are you in the spirit already?

4. What's your favorite holiday season food?

5. What's your gift-buying strategy?

6. What's your best dad joke?

 

1. Helsinki. Because @Ricer13's Dixon is a living legend.
 

2. The proAM. Again, Ricer made me do it because he was sad there wasn't enough defensemen for it to start. Now I am a snowman
 

2. (expect really 3.) I am absolutely in the spirit! My front yard decorations are considered the best in my complex by my neighbours, I've strung up lights around my built-in cabinets and giant mirror to pair with my tree in the basement, I bought a shitton of eggnog and rum and my fav xmas ales. I am going to watch another xmas movie tonight. Etc. etc etc
 

4. oooo this is a hard one. I love my yorkshire puddings. Roast potatoes, while not exclusively confined to xmas are a staple side dish. I love my pepper jelly on crackers snack and pigs in a blanket. Breakfast sausauges as well. Terry's chocolate Orange. OMg i must be missing something.

 

5. No gifts. You're all adults. Let's just buy ourselves what we actually want and save our time and money. For the kiddies, that's easy though. As online as possible. 

 

6. I wonder where this question came from.... 

 

There is no "favourite" They just come out at appropriate times like the time my father-in-law ask "Phil, did you get a haircut?" and I replied " no, I got them all cut!"  Etc. Dad jokes are all situationally based.

1. Toronto won the last two games and with STHS luck I don’t see Helsinki winning many more.

2. Not that I’m sure of, but hopefully Bobandy will be repping Canada’s red and white somewhere.

3. I’ve been in the spirit since I put up my mini Christmas tree on November 1st. I love the holidays, the time off and the family/friends.

4. I love all the sweets. It doesn’t matter if it’s chocolate, candy, or baked goods, anything seasonal with sugar in it is top tier.

5. Currently a broke student so hopefully having enough to get for the people I care for.

6. I ate a kid’s meal at McDonald’s today… the kid was very angry.

1. I was hoping for Helsinki, alas they did not make it.

2. Yes I do. The ProAm with both my players for the Naughty Elves

3. It is kind of unreal as time passes fast and we do not have snow. It always feels wrong to have snowless Christmas.

4. Fondue/Raclette would be among the favourites as it is more of a social event rather than 'only' a meal.

5. We buy the presents for the inlaws and the kids during the year when there is a discount on the stuff, so we do not have to do it when everyone else does it.

6. What do a tick and the Eiffel Tower have in common? They are both Paris sites.

1) Toronto! 
2) nope, probably should be though. 
3) most definitely! Best time of year! 
4) Thanksgiving stuffing for sure. 
5) Getting my kids the a gift they “know” I won’t get them. The excitement and joy is unmatched. 
6) Why can’t you hear a pterodactyl going to the bathroom? Because the “P” is silent! 

[Daniel Janser 2,216]

 

1. We traded Maellum Maellard away and acquired Skor McFleury in two separate deals. What are your thoughts about these moves?

2. Lean Frog aka Leandro has taken over the reins from long time GM Ricer. What will it take for Leandro to emulate Ricer's success?

3. We are still short one defender for the proven 6-4-2 roster. Do you have any favourite you would hire (not taking into account availability or cap space). Elaborate why this player.

4. Where do you see CGY in the coming season?

5. How do you celebrate New Year's eve?

6. What is your player's secret guilty pleasure?

@Zyrok, @DeciBell4, @jfaly, @YaBoiDuggie, @Sisyphus, @Jer_Lefebvre;

1. I'd say Toronto.
2. Hmm I'm not sure yet.
3. Not really, these last few years' holidays haven't felt like holidays.
4. I can't think of anything other than pão de ló, a dessert we traditionally eat on Christmas.
5. I don't think I have one, I consider myself a pretty bad gifter, but I guess it would just be listening to what people want.
6. "I only know 25 letters of the alphabet. I don't know y."

1. IS VERY GOOD, I reallyu like Mcfleury but I dont know about the maellard move... Hopefully it works out for yall though!

2. LEANDRO IS THE GOAT AND I LOVE HI9M, I think hell do well and I think just natural talent alone is enough for him to be a rgeat GM!

3. I don't really know any D men asd Ive only ever really looked at forwards, but I trusyt Leandro will do a great job with whoever he decides on!

4. Hopefully Leandro can rbeuild yall into a top tier team soon enough but I'd expect mid tavlke for you guys to reach.

5. I had my first drink today... and I'm only a little drunk

6. Going to race tracks and flying around in performance tuned cars, just as his Monegasque ancestors intended.\

 

PS. thanks for the pressr guys

1. I’m excited to see another S87 on our squad. Good life left in those legs and Skor had excellent numbers last season.

2. Winning two cups for Calgary sounds good to me.

3. Just signed Francis and I am hyped!

4. Top 3 in our conference. We have the players for it and Dilson is in primetime mode now.

5. I got very drunk with friends at a buddy’s cottage. Hangovers hurt.

6. Chocolate. Bobandy can’t get enough of it and has to be monitored after 11pm on team trips or else you’ll see him at the closest corner store picking up chewy bars.

2. Will you look at this thread, https://vhlforum.com/topic/143496-vhl-new-year’s-resolutions-2024/?

 

3. We're into trying times in the league, where we try to find new faces to come in. Do you remember your first time in the VHL?

4. What's your first thought when you think of VHL?

5. This PC has become harder to answer than expected. Catia was onto something when she told me during New Year's dinner, right?

6. Why did they name Donkey Kong that way if he’s a monkey and not a donkey?

1. We're deep into the off-season, which'll be long. How do you stay engaged?
Get pinged to do things the offseason tournaments are the only interesting things going on for average people in the league during the offseason.

2. Will you look at this thread, https://vhlforum.com/topic/143496-vhl-new-year’s-resolutions-2024/?

I didn't look at it because I thought it was just people putting their personal New Year's Resolutions into a thread. I do not have any interesting ideas to fix the league however.

3. We're into trying times in the league, where we try to find new faces to come in. Do you remember your first time in the VHL?
I do. I actually quite uniquely have what I believe to be two different joining times since I was in the league in the early 60s way back in the old days.

4. What's your first thought when you think of VHL?
I don't think of hockey. I think of a friendly community.

5. This PC has become harder to answer than expected. Catia was onto something when she told me during New Year's dinner, right?
I don't know what Catia said but probably.

6. Why did they name Donkey Kong that way if he’s a monkey and not a donkey?
Stubborn Monkey... Donkey is English slang for stubborn and Nintendo thought that we would think of stubborn monkey which I don't think anybody has ever thought about.

1. Participating in the offseason tournaments.
2. I technically did look at it already, I just don't have any ideas for it.
3. I do yes, just a few more months and it'll be a year since I joined the league.
4. Probably hockey community, I can't think of one without the other really.
5. I don't remember saying anything related to the VHL at the New Year's dinner 
6. Maybe they were trying to be quirky with it.

1. My players participate in the ProAm (which they won) and in the WJC (which CGY did not win, we clearly lacked Zef Gonçalves' skills)

2. I have looked at it, but have nothing to contribute unfortunately.

3. As if it was only two years ago . The Wranglers were very welcoming and Ricer helped me a lot with my build.

4. I think community is the most outstanding 'feature'. Despite coming from different walks of life (or supporting different NHL franchises) we make this league work.

5. I do not know what Catiá said, so I do not know (but get that 'what questions should I ask in the PC' feeling).

6. Donkey Kong is not a monkey but an ape, so if anything he should be called 'Apey Kong'....

1) Feeling good, hoping Rip can contribute to some dubyas! 
2) Point per game, positive +-. 
3) go on a long playoff run, we added some absolute beauties this off season. Looking forward to getting back to being competitive! 
4) I think we are gonna surprise some teams…definitely not gonna be as much of an easy team to play against as last season. 
5) Wrangler's! 
6) An eagle…having an eagle rolling around with me all day would be epic!

1. Calgary has picked up speed after a rocky start. What do you think was elementary in the team's success so far?

2. Elaborate in what areas your player could improve, to help the team to compete.

3. Who do you see as our biggest rival this season in the Conference?

4. And in the European one?

5. Which is your favourite cuisine and why is it Italian?

6. What sports teams outside of hockey do you follow/support?

[nurx 914]

1. Calgary has picked up speed after a rocky start. What do you think was elementary in the team's success so far?
Correcting the PP and PK. If you have stable special teams, you will likely be a more stable team.

2. Elaborate in what areas your player could improve, to help the team to compete.
Be more rock solid defensively.

3. Who do you see as our biggest rival this season in the Conference?
LA I came from LA and they are once again competing for a cup.

4. And in the European one?
Whoever we meet in the finals, we don't meet the Europeans very often and we should focus on NA.

5. Which is your favorite cuisine and why is it Italian?
Ethiopian food is top tier. I don't get it often since the nearest restaurant is a 2 hour drive but I do get a group of guys together and enjoy some somewhat often.

6. What sports teams outside of hockey do you follow/support?
The Detroit Lions and Detroit Tigers of course, but I also support my mocs in college sports.

1) Solid special teams, awesome goal tending and keeping or nose to the grindstone. 
 

2) Rip is starting to score some goals, but I think that area could continue to get better. Also bringing a little more physicality to the offensive zone. 
 

3) Vancouver, hate em…and their mouthy upstart prospect Ninefingers! 
 

4) Davos, we’ve had some really intense battle’s this year. 
 

5) I would say Italian. lol…from pasta with meat sauce to pizza to garlic bread…knocks it out of the park as a cuisine!

 

6) Kraken Hockey baby! And the Seahawks.

6. What sports teams outside of hockey do you follow/support?

1. I think we had been struggling on the PP and PK earlier on so improving that probably has a lot to do with it.

2. Stop being so angry. Whenever I look at game results I seem to have lots of roughing penalties and even had a game misconduct for "Intent to Injure"

3. Probably LA, anyone who will be competition at the top.

4. Moscow, they're looking strong.

5. Nothing beats a good hamburger but I do love Italian. 

6. Tottenham Hotspur and the Green Bay Packers

6. What places you have traveled to did you enjoy the most and why?

1. I think the best way to catch them would be to win more games, but I'm no genius.

2. I'm very hungry right now and can only think of food so perhaps the topic will be food.

3. I probably wouldn't do anything too aggressive but maybe that's why I'm not in charge of those decisions.

4. Probably Davos because they score so few goals.

5. Can't go wrong with a bag a chips, I typically go with Doritos.

6. I have not traveled much unfortunately, the only real trip I've taken was to Florida. It was alright. Too crowded.

3) Nope, stay the course, we are gonna make waves this year in the playoffs! 
 

4) Seattle, just because I live close to the actual city and know how it’s gone to shit, literally. 
 

5) Hot pockets or White Castle cheese burgers. 
 

6) San Diego, good food, good waves and some Solid family time!

2. How important is it to get the Victory Cup?

3. Is your player a regular season guy, or do they only really perform in the playoffs?

4. Which is the best podcast you have listened to (or if you did not, what was the best Graphic/Article you have seen)?

5. What is your favourite pet and why?

6. What is your favourite actor/actress and what movie convinced you of their skills?

1) keep stacking double dubs! 
2) we have the momentum, so I think it’s definitely the goal at this point. 
3) Rip has definitely had a successful season at this point…but he’s gonna have a little something cooked up for the playoffs. 
4) Sharkies one (I think) podcast. 
5) Dog, mans best friend! Unconditional love and excitement. 
6) Tom Cruise, Top Gun…old and the new one!
