Only if you count chel

2. What do you like most and least about this game?

I like that I dont have to put a lot of effort into making the player I want to make. I dont like that my player still cant fight even tho thats all hes built to do

On 1/20/2019 at 11:39 PM, Exlaxchronicles said:

3. Is there any personal goals you hope to accomplish with your player?

I just wanna goon

On 1/20/2019 at 11:39 PM, Exlaxchronicles said:

4. The color of hockey tape you use is?

Red, so that the blood from my knuckles doesnt stain it

On 1/20/2019 at 11:39 PM, Exlaxchronicles said:

5. Gretzky or Lemieux and why?

Gretzky. Lemieux is a for sure second, but man just gotta go look at the record books

1.) What's the biggest change you've seen in the VHL since you were last active here?

Well, your profile picture has been majorly downgraded. Other than that, mostly the affiliation, less teams, new updoot scale

[Exlaxchronicles 415]

2. Add more to your fighting as well and even some strength, and you'll almost be able to be as good as Kiaskov.

5. Lemieux's the better player though.

1. My profile pic has been majorly downgraded? Thanks! Only one of the Hansen bros from the movie Slapshot. 

[jRuutu 2,303]

1. You are currently tied in penalty minutes with Smith from Davos, both at 228, think you can beat him?

2.  Got six fights in 60 games, been asked to take it easy this year or carrying a minor injury that prevents dropping them as often?

3. Does it snow in Waco?

4. Who is your number one rival in VHL?

5.  Is there such a thing as bad moment to drop the gloves?

[StamkosFan 72]

1) Do you feel that today's game is still favorable to enforcers/tough guys like you? Why or why not?

2) How do your coaches feel about the amount of penalty minutes you've gotten?

3) How do you feel about VHL expansion?

4) What areas of your game do you want to grow in the future?

5) Would you ever hesitate to take on an opponent in a fight, especially one that has a size advantage on you?

[hedgehog337 3,480]

how's Toronto?

Are you happy with LPLL career so far?

do you think I will make Kevin Traplord here?

looks like VHL is higher level league than GOMHL, at least LPLL isn't that helluva goon here. do you agree?

Do you think Evgeni Komarov could be your rival?

will you make a recreate after LPLL?

do you miss earlier days when you were active here?

do you watch Saskatoon here?

how's Tzyuu?

or do you have any idea who your teammates even are?

Change the name of the Halifax 21st. What the hell is that

On 1/27/2019 at 12:09 PM, flyersfan1453 said:

3.) Are you excited by the new Houston team joining the VHLM?

I dont really care. I may be in Texas now but I was born and raised in St. Louis, I dont really have strong feelings towards the south

On 1/27/2019 at 12:09 PM, flyersfan1453 said:

4.) What do you value more - team success or individual success?

Individual success, need moar face punches

On 1/27/2019 at 12:09 PM, flyersfan1453 said:

Is Draper or WillW still around? havent seen his username but im sure he changed it by now lel

On 1/28/2019 at 9:54 AM, jRuutu said:

1. You are currently tied in penalty minutes with Smith from Davos, both at 228, think you can beat him?

Yes. I will physically beat him if i must

On 1/28/2019 at 9:54 AM, jRuutu said:

2.  Got six fights in 60 games, been asked to take it easy this year or carrying a minor injury that prevents dropping them as often?

Thats actually good for me lately. Ive had a lot less fights in the VHL

Ive been down here almost 4 years and its only gotten below freezing 3 times haha

On 1/28/2019 at 9:54 AM, jRuutu said:

4. Who is your number one rival in VHL?

The department of player safety

On 1/28/2019 at 9:54 AM, jRuutu said:

5.  Is there such a thing as bad moment to drop the gloves?

Nope, thats just stuff that wussies and communists want you to think!

On 1/29/2019 at 4:53 PM, StamkosFan said:

1) Do you feel that today's game is still favorable to enforcers/tough guys like you? Why or why not?

Not really. Lots of focus on silly things like skill, speed, and scoring. Its a sad development

On 1/29/2019 at 4:53 PM, StamkosFan said:

2) How do your coaches feel about the amount of penalty minutes you've gotten?

Theyre afraid of asking me to take less

On 1/29/2019 at 4:53 PM, StamkosFan said:

3) How do you feel about VHL expansion?

Nice to see its getting a second wind, i know it wasnt in the best position a few season ago

[FacePuncher 1,343]

On 1/29/2019 at 4:53 PM, StamkosFan said:

4) What areas of your game do you want to grow in the future?

nowhere, I just wanna keep punching people

On 1/29/2019 at 4:53 PM, StamkosFan said:

5) Would you ever hesitate to take on an opponent in a fight, especially one that has a size advantage on you?

Nah man, these hands are equal opportunity, anyone can catch em

On 2/3/2019 at 5:13 PM, hedgehog337 said:

how's Toronto?

Its like Quebec but a lot bigger, and a lot less french

On 2/3/2019 at 5:13 PM, hedgehog337 said:

Are you happy with LPLL career so far?

Not really, need more hitting

On 2/3/2019 at 5:13 PM, hedgehog337 said:

do you think I will make Kevin Traplord here?

Go for it

On 2/3/2019 at 5:13 PM, hedgehog337 said:

VHL has just not been enlightened in the goony ways like the GOMHL was. It is sad but i believe we will get there eventually

[jRuutu 2,303]

1. When you see me skating down the middle with puck on my tape, almost dancing around and coming towards you and your teams net - how are you going to stop me?

2. How important is training camp for goons?

3. Does it ever get boring when people trash talk at you on the ice?

4. Do referees like or hate you?

5. Should players get a award for fighting? Bit like who scores the most goals, but with fights won?

[FacePuncher 1,343]

On 2/3/2019 at 5:13 PM, hedgehog337 said:

Do you think Evgeni Komarov could be your rival?

I'm honestly not sure who that is, but LPLL has no rivals, everyone is equally a threat

On 2/3/2019 at 5:13 PM, hedgehog337 said:

will you make a recreate after LPLL?

Maybe, I could try and bring another Podarok

On 2/3/2019 at 5:13 PM, hedgehog337 said:

do you miss earlier days when you were active here?

Somewhat, but also that was when a lot of stuff in my life was going on so idk

On 2/3/2019 at 5:13 PM, hedgehog337 said:

do you watch Saskatoon here?

I haven't paid attention to the VHLM since i made VHL full time

On 2/3/2019 at 5:13 PM, hedgehog337 said:

how's Tzyuu?

She is doing well, she gets a lot of fans at the games, media is all around her. apparently she is pretty famous outside of hockey too

On 2/3/2019 at 5:13 PM, hedgehog337 said:

or do you have any idea who your teammates even are?

I think Tzyuu is the only teammate i know lol

1. When you see me skating down the middle with puck on my tape, almost dancing around and coming towards you and your teams net - how are you going to stop me?

I'll probably just try and slash your legs with my stick. My stick doesnt have flex, I like to play old school

On 2/26/2019 at 6:39 AM, jRuutu said:

2. How important is training camp for goons?

Very. How else am I gonna practice hitting stuff?

On 2/26/2019 at 6:39 AM, jRuutu said:

 

3. Does it ever get boring when people trash talk at you on the ice?

Not at all! makes it much more fun when I hit them later on

On 2/26/2019 at 6:39 AM, jRuutu said:

4. Do referees like or hate you?

They like me usually. I try not to make their lives too hard

On 2/26/2019 at 6:39 AM, jRuutu said:

5. Should players get a award for fighting? Bit like who scores the most goals, but with fights won?

Absolutely. I always kept track of that in the GOMHL

I'm aiming for at least 200.

3 hours ago, omgitshim said:

2.) Which player do like kicking the ass of the most?

No one specific, just usually like to beat up people who arent paying attention. Blind side hits are the best

3 hours ago, omgitshim said:

3.) How weird is it when you score a goal?

goal? what is this goal you speak of? is that some sort of pre-game thing?

3 hours ago, omgitshim said:

4.) Will you lead the league in PIM this season?

If I dont, it sure wont be for lack of trying

3 hours ago, omgitshim said:

5.) What's your favorite pre-game ritual?

I get 5 sticks and whack them against the stanchion. I pick whichever one holds up the best, it's the most well equipped for me to slash people with

3 hours ago, omgitshim said:

6.) What foods would you suggest to someone who wants to be a goon?

gotta get that protein. The workouts are more important, though

[hedgehog337 3,480]

1. how sad you were to see LPLL losing a fight? 

2. which is more important for you - fights, hits or shot blocks?

3. are you worried LPLL could be exposed to the expansion draft?

4. perhaps you want to get 300 hits before the end of reg season?

5. and how about 150 shot blocks?

6. do you think Luc could make a run for the defensive defenceman award?

7. what will you do if Komarov passes Luc in PIM's?

8. is the team success important for you?

9. how's Malenko?

10. what LPLL gonna do after he retires?

[TheLastOlympian07 2,388]

1. How would you rate LPLL career so far in the VHL?

2. How would you rate his whole career in the world of hockey. VHL/GOMHL included

3. Do you plan to bring his career to the SHL after he is retired here?

4. What are your plans for a next VHL player?

5. Would LPLL have a a future in basketball? SBA? he could be the next Dennis Rodman

[FacePuncher 1,343]

On 4/8/2019 at 4:39 PM, TheLastOlympian07 said:

1. How would you rate LPLL career so far in the VHL?

Pretty low honestly. He just hasn't been the same kind of dominant enforcer like he was in the GOMHL

On 4/8/2019 at 4:39 PM, TheLastOlympian07 said:

2. How would you rate his whole career in the world of hockey. VHL/GOMHL included

Overall he has been surprisingly one of my favorite players i've made. I love the enforcer thing, especially when i'm putting ink into the record books

On 4/8/2019 at 4:39 PM, TheLastOlympian07 said:

3. Do you plan to bring his career to the SHL after he is retired here?

Oh you know it buddy

On 4/8/2019 at 4:39 PM, TheLastOlympian07 said:

4. What are your plans for a next VHL player?

I'm not sure yet. Maybe I'll bring in another Podarok

On 4/8/2019 at 4:39 PM, TheLastOlympian07 said:

5. Would LPLL have a a future in basketball? SBA? he could be the next Dennis Rodman

I dont think so, he is too small. But maybe he can get some tips from Draymond Green about his "natural shooting motion"

[Gustav 6,099]

1. Call it now--what team will be your VHL champion this season?

2. What about VHLM?

3. What's the biggest piece of advice you have for incoming first-time VHLers?

4. Just how French is your player?

5. I see you're a member of other sim leagues (based on other questions here). How do those compare to the VHL?

6. What's the best part of being an enforcer, other than beating people up?

@FacePuncher

I'm always rooting for whatever team i'm on to win it, so Toronto!

On 4/28/2019 at 1:34 AM, GustavMattias said:

2. What about VHLM?

I'm not gonna lie, I dont pay attention to the VHLM too much anymore. It used to be my favorite though. I'll say Sasky for old times sake

On 4/28/2019 at 1:34 AM, GustavMattias said:

3. What's the biggest piece of advice you have for incoming first-time VHLers?

Make sure to work on your pace, the game is a lot faster up here

On 4/28/2019 at 1:34 AM, GustavMattias said:

4. Just how French is your player?

je suis très français

On 4/28/2019 at 1:34 AM, GustavMattias said:

5. I see you're a member of other sim leagues (based on other questions here). How do those compare to the VHL?

They are all pretty different. VHL seems like it thrives off a lot of things that other leagues dont, eg Fan 590s, welfare, podcasts. Its interesting

On 4/28/2019 at 1:34 AM, GustavMattias said:

6. What's the best part of being an enforcer, other than beating people up?

Everyone is nice to me, just in case I get traded and get a chance to beat them up

[Devise 4,475]

1. S66 marks a full career for LPLL, how stoked are you?

2. Are you planning on recreating?

3. You mentioned in your last question VHL thrives on a lot of things other leagues don't, do you like this? 

4. Further on that point, why do you that is? Is there a chance all the leagues are trying to fit into the lifes of members who are in several, like yourself?

5. How would you rate your experience thus far now that your a full player in? 

[FacePuncher 1,343]

1. S66 marks a full career for LPLL, how stoked are you?

Its pretty exciting. I am hoping I get a lot of opportunities to beat the crap outta people

Quote

2. Are you planning on recreating?

Probably not right away. I have a lot of stuff coming up with graduation less than a week away and needing to find a real job, plus ive had some sim league burnout being in so many frickin leagues, so I will probably take a break. But I do hope to bring a Podarok back here some day 

Quote

3. You mentioned in your last question VHL thrives on a lot of things other leagues don't, do you like this? 

I think I like it. Over time its been harder to focus on multiple leagues, so having a league where casual PTs are more used is nice. I like having podcasts as well, have always wished more leagues did those

Quote

4. Further on that point, why do you that is? Is there a chance all the leagues are trying to fit into the lifes of members who are in several, like yourself?

I think a lot of leagues just try for that niche. A lot of the leagues are very similar, but usually every league has something that makes them special, and finding that is what is important. I also think definitely that the focus on affiliation has been huge for multiple league guys like me. It has really helped me become more active in the sim community. Affiliation between NSFL-PBE-SHL is what made me come back to PBE and be more active in SHL, and the EFL-SBA-VHL affiliation made me join EFL and return to VHL, so its definitely nice

Quote

5. How would you rate your experience thus far now that your a full player in? 

for the user or the player? User things have been fun, I miss a lot of stuff because I dont check the site enough  but overall I have enjoyed myself. For the player it has been a little disappointing despite the back to back boats, just because I carried this player concept over from the GOMHL and I broke like 9 records there, so I had high expectations for my goon
