Answer 6 questions to claim 2 TPE

 

1. I think at this point in the season, it’s pretty incredible to acknowledge what Saskatoon has done. Is their success due to VHLM veterans or new-comers this season?

2. Our boy Danny DeYeeto was sent the Wild’s way for a 1st, a 2nd, and a 3rd, and is currently leading them in points production. Why are Minnesota players so good?

3. Will anyone beat the Wild again this season? So far only Ottawa has managed it.

4. We have dropped off a little in the standings, currently sitting at 7th place, but are a solid 7 points ahead of the the 9th placed team. Do you think we will slip out of a playoff spot?

5. Next season we do have our own 1st round pick. Is it worth it to tank for a lottery spot?

6. We have a lot of picks next season. Would you shop them around for more high value picks in the future, or use them now (next draft) to compete?

7. Who will be our team MVP this year?

8. Where in Minnesota do you think our team plays? I honestly don’t know if there is an official location yet.

9. Would you like Minnesota to relocate, or stay in the same place?

10. Other than Saskatoon, who is your worst nightmare to face in playoffs right now?

1. Hey all, Jaxx Hextall is the name. I'm your goalie for the season. I believe we have a chance so lets work hard this season and make ourselves contenders!!

 

2. I think pretty well, I mean you got a steal of a pick of a 191 TPE goalie at 32nd, that I would say makes it good. Of course the other picks were great and I think will give us a chance!!

 

4. Probably some hard rock from the early to mid 2000's, hard rock hasn't been the same since.

 

6. considering I was 32nd, safe to say I should have gone higher but I'm happy regardless.

 

9. To max out at 250 TPE which should happen within 3 weeks I think, probably no more then a month.

 

10. I say we'll be top 5 for sure, I know we're a shoe in for the playoffs.

[Siddhus 72]

 

 

1. What holes do you think we have in our team? For our team to be elite, we just need one final piece whether it will be offense or defense. I have been guilty of being IA but I am looking to come back to VHL to help this team

2. What music will you play in the locker room? Hopefully something non-explicit. Idk. You know Spotify, its shuffle gets some random songs :).

3. For those of you not just drafted, what do you have to say to your new teammates? All i want to say, is that I'm new too, but Im ready to help you all out so come to me or GMs if u have questions.

4. Who do you think has the best dangles on the team? I wish i knew what dangles are.

5. What are your wants/goals for this season? last season got 10 goals and 45 assists. This season looking to move tthat number to maybe 75 points this season. And also hopefully w emake the playoffs.

1. I’m looking to get my first goal and first point at the start of the season.

4. Who do you think our biggest threat is this season? Philadelphia.

5. Who do you think has been our MVP through the first 10 games? I would say me but I think our goalie.

6. Next game we come up again against the Reapers. Predict the scoreline (or, if it has already happened, Game #54, react to it). I think we will win 4-3.

7. We have two games against the Marlins coming up as well, who have put together a pretty good team this season. How do you think we will do? I think we will win both.

 

[Insomnia 7]

1. Sitting at 8-2 is pretty good. Although losing the last 2 wasn’t a great feeling. Based off the fact we won 8 before that I have a ton of confidence we will be the best in the VHLM this season

 

2. Simply everyone here wants to win. We all have a winning mentality and are ready to do everything it takes day in day out.

 

3. The defense just was there. Rather it be the towards not covering the line or the defenseman just not being in the right spot. We did not perform to the level id expect from us.

 

4. Philadelphia

 

5. 100% are goalie Hextall. He’s been so so so good in all of these games in this season.

 

7. I think we win both we games. This team has been ready to go night in night out I think we will 100% win.

2. Our depth surely shines every game with everyone contributing

3. We didn't press the blue line enough, and ended up skating circles around each other

4. My former team Houston looks dangerous as Hugh is only getting stronger

5. Not me for sure so probably Jaxx if I had to choose

7. I think we need to ask them if they can handle our skill, I see us doing well vs every opponent

3. If you were to pick the next team dinner, what restaurant are we going to?
