(You don't have to answer every single one, just answer 6 for 2 TPE)

 

1. With playoffs right around the corner, what is your prefered matchup? Minnesota or San Diego?

San Diego, but it's not looking too great right now.

2. With the season concluding who has been our regular season MVP, and why?

Alex Johnston easily has been a beast all season.

3. Yukon enters the playoffs as the team to beat, what do you think their strengths and weaknesses are?

Offensively they are deadly, I would say weakness would be either goaltending or defense.

4. What are your predictions for the first round if the VHLM playoffs if they started today?

 

5. When we're have been on the road this season what has been your favourite VHLM city to visit?

I thought Vegas was pretty fun to be able to go too.

6. Do you have a preferred render for your player? If yes, who is it?

I honestly don't atm.

7. Do you have any pets IRL? I have a 8 month old puppy named Winter. If no, if you could have one what would it be?

I have my cat named Y'ffrre she's probably 2-3 years old.

 

8. Do you eat a banana from the bottom or the top?

No comment .

 

9. controversial opinion, Dark Chocolate is the best chocolate! Agree or disagree?

I agree

1. Well, we have been eliminated in 6 by San Diego from the playoffs. Do you have any takeaways from the first round?

 

2. What team do you want to see win the Founder's cup this season?

 

3. A few of our players are off the the VHL next season, do you have any words for these players?

 

4. If you are draft eligible (VHL or VHLM) in what round and to what team do you hope to be drafted by?

 

5. How do you see the next two rounds of the playoffs shaping up?

 

6. With the season ending what are your thoughts on the season as a whole, and what would you change for next season if anything?

 

7. Tampa vs. Montreal, who takes it? I have Tampa in 6, with Carey Price still winning the Conn Smythe.

 

8. If you could only listen to one song for the rest of your life what would it be?

 

9. Who is your favourite superhero?

[scoop 3,432]

1. Well, we have been eliminated in 6 by San Diego from the playoffs. Do you have any takeaways from the first round?

It's a bummer. I certainly would have liked to have gotten to play a bit more and show off my skill before the draft. Not that the games really meant anything to me, but it beats just sitting around waiting.

 

2. What team do you want to see win the Founder's cup this season?

I'll say Minnesota. If I didn't feel a bit burned by Yukon not making more of an effort to pick me, I would root for them, but I'm from Minnesota, so I have a soft spot for them anyway. Plus Yukon has too many S79 draftees and I don't want my draft competition to already have that over me.

 

3. A few of our players are off the the VHL next season, do you have any words for these players?

I'll see you on the ice, and don't take it personally when I hit you out there. I know I'm at that spot where I could spend another season in the VHLM, because I won't have a huge impact in the VHL, but I think my days as a Reaper are over.

 

4. If you are draft eligible (VHL or VHLM) in what round and to what team do you hope to be drafted by?

I'd like to be drafted near the top, though I'm not necessarily interested in any team above others. I do think I'll end up going later than most draftee rankings would place me, because I'm not active at all in the VHL discord. I think given that there are others who are just slightly behind me in TPE who GMs have probably taken more notice of, I'll fall so somewhere around the 5 to 7 range.

 

5. How do you see the next two rounds of the playoffs shaping up?

Yukon will take out San Diego. I think the series will go a lot like ours did with the Marlins. Even after four games before Yukon wins the final two. I think Minnesota beats Halifax, assuming they can even get past the Bulls. Halifax has really had to fight after it looked like it'd be a clean series two games in, while the Storm took care of business in four. Even though it was a sweep, it wasn't a cakewalk for Minnesota; they were tough games against a good team, so they won't be caught being overconfident. They've had time to rest and prepare for the next series, and I'm sure they're using that time wisely.

 

Then Yukon vs Minnesota in the finals... I'd prefer to see Minnesota take it, but I think Yukon's superior depth will be the difference in what I think will be a seven-game series.

 

8. If you could only listen to one song for the rest of your life what would it be?

That's not a fun question. One song for the rest of my life? I'm just going to go ahead and pick my favorite song: Perfect Teeth by Motion City Soundtrack.

9. Who is your favourite superhero?

2. Minnesota Storm. I’ve never been there but the fans seem like some of the best in hockey.
3. Good luck! flatten out some guys for me bros!

5. No clue. The ploffs are wild so I’m not very fond of making predictions but I would have to go with the Rush.

6. I’m a bit unhappy with my lackluster season, I’d like to think I made a big improvement in my skills in defense, checking and discipline but I didn’t see the jump from last season that I had hoped for. Still, I loved how we played as a team and even just making the ploffs was a huge jump from being bottom what, 5, 2, last season?

7. As much as I want the Habs to be a big storybook winner, I do think the Lightning will win in 7 with Kuch winning the Smythe.

8. Either Arabesque or Guns by Coldplay.

9. Carey Price

Minnie, @PatrikLaine deserves it, he's done great for his first year.

I think Canadians will steal one.

I think it went great, I personally think what you had was good enough.

There is always a chance for anything to happen in the world of hockey.

Hamburgers, Mac, pot, and pasta salad.

1. I am extremely excited for the VHLM draft but I have no idea where I'll be taken

 

3. I'd like to see the series last until 7 for the memes but i think it ends in 5 or 6.

 

4. Even though the season did not end the way we wanted, I qm very happy to have played for you

 

7. Unfortunately I do not think so. I'd love to see a reverse sweep for the memes however.

 

8. My favorite summer food is grilled Italian sausages 

 

9. Honestly I disagree. I prefer pecan pie to that.

[scoop 3,432]

1. Are you excited for both the upcoming drafts? If you're draft eligible where do you expect to be taken in the draft?

Not really excited about the VHLM draft, to be honest. I am psyched for the VHL draft, though. I'm thinking I'll be taken somewhere in the 6 to 8 range. I plan on being better than that, but my lack of a discord presence probably will move my draft stock down a bit. I also missed the finals predictions

 

2. What position do you think we need the most help at that can be acquired in the draft?

I think it really depends on who is moving up to the VHL. I think the sixth forward is more important than the fourth defenseman, so if we lose a forward on top of Johnston and myself (to the VHL), I would say forward unless we lose both Jared and Grigorev. Goalie isn't the highest concern.

 

4.  Our GM @KaleebtheMighty has been nominated for the Fredrik Elmebeck Memorial Award, what would you like to say to him?  

I'm proud of you. Honestly, I think those kinds of awards are the best. The ones where you are recognized as a valuable member to the league, and a good person. This is an award that you win, not your player winning via the grace of Simon. You definitely make the effort as GM of the team, and you seem to be doing a lot for the league in the way of logos. Best of luck to you, though I'm sure you're ecstatic just to be a nominee.

 

6. How do you think the first ever Reaper's Awards went? If an award could be added what would you like it to be?

I think it went well. Team awards are always a good thing for a locker room, especially when you can acknowledge people aside from just the obvious star players. It helps keep more people interested, so it's especially good at the minor league level. I am honored to have won an award myself. I guess the first thing that comes to my mind for another award would be the Rookie Reaper. Not exactly the most creative. It could go to a standout player in their first season with the team.

 

8. What is your favourite summer food?

 

Ice cream, but that's my favorite winter food and spring food and autumn food as well.

 

9. Apple pie is the best pie! Thoughts?

Eh, pumpkin pie I guess, though I don't really eat much pie.

2. Several members of the Reapers have already been chosen for a WJC team ( @Darth Kaprizov Sr.and @Spaz), with 4 teams left to be named, do you think you'll be on one of them?

 

3. What is your way too early prediction of our final record next season?

 

4. In the upcoming draft our earliest pick is in the 3rd round, do you think we should draft the best available player or focus on positional need?

I'm not sure honestly, idk if I'm cut out for it just yet.

3. What is your way too early prediction of our final record next season?

Record wise, I'm not sure but I have a feeling we're going to be a Cinderella team.

 

4. In the upcoming draft our earliest pick is in the 3rd round, do you think we should draft the best available player or focus on positional need?

Positional needs.

5.  What team do you think will be the team to beat next season? What team do you think will be our biggest rival?

The Hounds, I want to beat them and they're going to be a big rival.

9. Pudding is an underrated dessert, thoughts?

I honestly agree now that I think about it, it doesn't get the love it deserves.

 

[PadStack 48]

1. With the off-season officially beginning, the World Cup and WJC are right around the corner! Are you excited to see these happen? What team are you cheering for?

 

I'm not sure if I was able to make a team, so no, I suppose. I'll sip my Pina Colada on the beach in peace

 

2. Several members of the Reapers have already been chosen for a WJC team ( @Darth Kaprizov Sr.and @Spaz), with 4 teams left to be named, do you think you'll be on one of them?

 

Maybe if they are of high taste

 

3. What is your way too early prediction of our final record next season?

 

We will win more games than we lose.

 

4. In the upcoming draft our earliest pick is in the 3rd round, do you think we should draft the best available player or focus on positional need?

 

Always best player available (not necessarily the pure highest tpe). You can always fill out the roster needs throughout the season

 

5.  What team do you think will be the team to beat next season? What team do you think will be our biggest rival?

 

We will be the team to beat. Whoever wins it all this season.

 

6. What are your off-season plans for training?

 

Beach workouts, pulling up my class to my mouth, etc

 

7. Did you watch the Euro finals? What team were you cheering for?

 

I was, I was cheering for Italy because my wife is a fan

 

8. What is your favourite summer sport?

 

floor hockey!

 

9. Pudding is an underrated dessert, thoughts?

 

I disagree. Out of all available desserts I can't really imagine a scenario where I'd want pudding over most other things

1. Well you drafted me so I'd say it was fantastic

4. Probably, they had a pretty stacked class but it is what it is

6. Probably us or SSK. Both have great management with a solid roster to back them up

7. Pasta with ground beef. Or a nice burger from anywhere

8.They're wings, unless they are specifically nuggets

9. Maybe, but water is better than both

to not go over 250TPA  lol

I'd like to win a cup

yes, looking forward to the new big league club

9. Unpopular opinion: Tea is better than coffee in the morning.

 

1. Lots of new additions, super happy to see how this season goes

2. Had a down year defensively imo, definitely more blocks and now since I’ve gotten my discipline, defense and hitting stats decently high I’ll start working on becoming more well rounded. Better shot, vision, skating, etc.

3. More defensive minded forwards. Not a huge issue considering we have one of the best top 4s in the league defensively with @Mattylive3k and @NineIQ v2 who have 70 and 75 defense (keep it up boys) but I would like to see a really mesmerizingly good defensive team backed up by the best short king in the VHL

4. They are very strong and are probably our worst matchup. Super dangerous bundle of hockey players

5. It’s been great developing each week and getting better pretty much by the day and super fun interacting with others. Made me want to stick around a lot.

6. Saskatoon-I’ve mostly seen hype for Mississauga (maybe I haven’t looked hard enough though) but like I’ve never said but will say now, defense wins championships and they’ve got it.

7. Oh my god my grandparents visited and we got the best fucking barbecue ever. A sweet roll with coleslaw, a bit of both meats, some Texas style bbq sauce and some slivers of pickle. Practically j****d my pants after the first bite

8. Yes

9. Wrong, correct answer is water

9. What's your favourite sport to watch in the summer Olympics?

1- I think we have been doing ok but I know that we can be doing way better 

 

2- I have been pretty happy with my players play. Can’t complain with 4 pts in 5 games

 

4- As much as I hope it’s 7-1 I don’t think it will be. Miami are very close to us so if I was guessing I would say 5-3 us

 

 

5-I don’t really focus on milestones tbh. If the team ain’t winning I’m not doing something right.

 

7- Seattle passed up on some big name players and they were in the weakest division no debate about it. So they could’ve of handled that draft a lot better in my opinion 

 

8- It does, but I don’t don’t know hot to explain it

 

 

[Darth Kaprizov 98]

1. What do you think about the teams performance so far this season?

I feel like we are playing about to our level right now.  It's early so we should start jelling a bit more after we get some more practices in. 

2. Has your player been living up to you expectations so far this season?

It's early but avging 2.2 pts per game.  I think I can do better but a 150 point pace is new ground for me.  just looking to help the team win anyway i can. 

3. Where do you feel the tam needs to improve the most to compete with Mississauga?

Everywhere if we want to compete with Mississuagua

4. Our season series against Miami has been interesting to say the least so far, what do you think the series will end up being? (I'm hoping 7-1)

Don't tell coach but i'm really enjoying the road games in this series, sorry boss.

5. We've had a number of players hit career milestones this past week, and others are very close to some big ones, what is your next major milestone?

i want to bank 100-150 TPE into my rookie VHL season. 

6. While we've been battling it out with Miami, the rest of the league has started to take shape, what team has been the biggest surprise so far?

Mexico City, not surprising though, they've lower to middle of the pack the past two seasons but got a win in the their series vs. # seed in last years playoffs so definitely a team on the rise. 

7. Do you watch the NHL expansion draft? What do you think of the team chosen?

Was Ron Francis drunk.  baffled by some of the players they took and made minimal trades/deals to improve what could have been a stud roster.  but more than happy to see them struggle after the immediate rise Vegas has had.  (LAME)

8. If a tree falls in the forest and no one hears it, does it make a sound?

Sometimes

9. What's your favourite sport to watch in the summer Olympics?

Floor Hockey of course

So far it's too early for me to tell.

Defense, but most teams are having that problem.

4. Our season series against Miami has been interesting to say the least so far, what do you think the series will end up being? (I'm hoping 7-1)

I'm not sure, I'm very surprised a few people weren't chosen, I'm not sure I like the team that was chosen.

8. If a tree falls in the forest and no one hears it, does it make a sound?

Just because we didn't hear or see it doesn't mean it didn't happen.

9. What's your favourite sport to watch in the summer Olympics?

I don't watch the Olympics sadly.
