[Garsh 1,195]

1) We've had a couple good sims here, where do you think we will end up in the standings?
I think we will be a mid-lower playoff team.

2) Currently, we are 7 points ahead of 9th place, and 8 teams make it to playoffs. What are the odds that we miss playoffs?

I think the odds of us missing are actually small, I think we have been under performing and had a few unlucky games.

 

3) What has been your favorite part of the season thus far? 

I think seeing us really come together recently and take our game to the next level.

 

4) Do you have a job in the league/would you want one? 

I do not.  I duno, it would be nice to contribute to the league, but at the same time I really enjoy having this hobby with a low amount of commitment. 

 

5) Do you ever think you would want to be a GM?

I don't think so.  Happy to leave it to other people who are more jazzed about it.

 

6) What is your favorite kind of sandwich?

I'm a big sandwich guy, there are so many good ones.  Ham, turkey, and pepperjack with some variety of mustard is a common one for me.

1. Death. Drives me paranoid.

2. MLB. I’d be the team’s pinch runner lol

3. Role-playing tbh, 

4. Tucker is absolutely horrible playing for Vanny. 1 goal, 4-5 assists in ≈50 games. Yikes.

5. Fall

6. Beach house every day.

7. Pretty obvious, but I’ve never told anyone this: I haven’t died, as far as I know.

7) Tell me something that you have never told anyone before. 

1. The most recurring one recently is that I die naked. 

2. MLB - money is great there. 

3. I am not sure. I treat as more of role playing for sure.

4. Terrible. I stopped blocking shots out of nowhere. Not a great feeling. 

5. I think spring. You dont have the deal with falling leaves and the holidays are less annoying. Also feels hopeful

6. Beach please. I want to tan and eat shore food.

7.  I have developed a recent hatred of doing laundry and am seriously considering paying someone else to do it for me. 

[Garsh 1,195]

2) If you could play for any league in the world EXCEPT the NHL, what would it be?

Probably a European hockey league.

 

3) Do you think the VHL is more of a hockey game, or role-playing game?

I really look at it as a social outlet with the sim being an added extra.  I don't do much of the RP stuff but props to those who do.

 

4) How has your player been doing recently?

My player has been doing a lot better since the recent line changes resulted in overall team improvement.

 

5) What is your favorite season of the year?

Spring or fall, weather is not to hot or cold and usually don't have to worry about snow/ice making dangerous driving.

 

6) Beach house or mountain home?

Beach house but not in a hot place.  I hate the heat.

 

7) Tell me something that you have never told anyone before. 

I have a skeleton living inside me.

Answer 6 questions to claim 2 TPE

 

1) Who is your least favorite sports player/commentator/public figure?

2) In general, do you consider yourself a "serious" sports fan, or just casual/not at all?

3) What is your favorite comfort food. 

4) There's two minutes left in the 3rd, you're down a goal, and its the last game of the season. A win gets you a higher seed to avoid the killer number one team, but a loss drops you out of playoffs. Do you pull your goalie?

5) We have 9 games left to play! Predict our final 9 record.

6) Given the same number of wins and losses in the season, would you rather have your losses spread out across the season, or all at the end if it means you breaking the league win streak record?

7) We are 2 points back off Vegas and 4 off the Bulls, do you think we will catch either? 

[Garsh 1,195]

2) In general, do you consider yourself a "serious" sports fan, or just casual/not at all?

I would say I fall into the casual category.

 

3) What is your favorite comfort food. 

Probably just about anything with carbs, pizza, mexican, pasta.  Load me up!

 

4) There's two minutes left in the 3rd, you're down a goal, and its the last game of the season. A win gets you a higher seed to avoid the killer number one team, but a loss drops you out of playoffs. Do you pull your goalie?

I mean you have to.  It's not like you will miss the playoffs if it doesn't work out.

 

5) We have 9 games left to play! Predict our final 9 record.

I haven't look at who we are playing but I'm going with a 6-3 record.

 

6) Given the same number of wins and losses in the season, would you rather have your losses spread out across the season, or all at the end if it means you breaking the league win streak record?

At first I thought the obvious answer was getting the win streak record, but I think losing the streak at the end could have a mental impact coming into playoffs.  It's a tough one for sure.

 

7) We are 2 points back off Vegas and 4 off the Bulls, do you think we will catch either? 

I think we for sure catch vegas.  The Bulls are within reach but we will see I suppose.

[2hawk 69]

1) Brad Marchand probably 

2) casual for every sport except hockey. I'm a hardcore hockey fan.

3) mac and cheese 

4) I would probably wait until more like a minute left. And hope we could get one before the goalie has to come out.

5) 6-2-1 I don't know

6) spread out. Otherwise the team morale going into the playoffs would be terrible 

7) we can catch Vegas not sure about the bulls 

[RstortonYT 27]

1. Tom Wilson

2. Absolutely I consider myself a serious sports fan.

3. Pizza no doubt about it.

4. Absolutely I pull the goalie.

5. 7-2.

6. The winning streak record is a pretty cool record, I would love to have it even if it means losing the rest of the games.

7. We are catching both.

1. Mostly outspoken basketball players like Lebron or Curry etc.

2. I dont know anymore. My relationship with sports (like everything else) is slowly turning toxic

3. I guess at this moment americanized chinese 

4. Always pull the goalie as per smart people. 

5. I'm going for at least 12 points please.

6. I believe in momentum. Spread it out. 

7. I would like to go Aces up as a conquistador

7) What is the greatest upset you have accomplished, in sports or in life?

1. I think it’s possible, stranger things have happened.

2. Forgetting your equipment on Game 7 of the finals. That happened to Tucker when Miami won the founder’s cup in 74, thankfully, I sucked, so @Ricer13 didn’t have to worry

3. Season 76 with Minnesota. I had so much damn fun, and my player did well. I loved it.

4. I already am, but here’s a fun fact: In games Vanny won, I had 2 points, in games they tied/lost, I had 6. Hmmm, maybe I need to stop scoring goals lol

5. Yessir I do, should be a fun ride.

6. It really drains you but also really makes you need to have a victory, ya know? It goes both ways.

7. My travel soccer team went to a tourney, we went 2-1 in the tourney after having a 1-win season, went to the finals, and versus the team we lost to (3-0 was the score), we tied 1-1, even though they had about 20 shots and we had 2. We went to PKs, and we somehow won. It was amazing  

[Garsh 1,195]

1) Well Storm, we got our back up against the wall. This might age poorly or fantastically, but do you think we can complete a reverse sweep of Halifax?

Well I think we had a chance, but it wasn't meant to be.  At least we didn't get swept.

 

2) What is your worst nightmare as a player? 

Probably doing something dumb like trying to pass it and putting into our own net.

 

4) Are you looking forward to playing in the VHL?

Yeah of course!  That's what all the hard work is leading towards.

 

5) Do you think you will try and play a full 8 season career with this player? 

Yes my plan is to retire an old man.

 

6) How does going down 3-0 in a series affect you mentally?

Just means we need to dig down deep to come back.

 

7) What is the greatest upset you have accomplished, in sports or in life?

The greatest personal comeback that I can think of was probably back in Burning Crusade, doing 3v3 arenas with friends.  My friends ended up dying early and I had to 2v1 a couple of Hunters as a Warrior and ended up winning.
