Answer 6 questions to claim 2 TPE

 

1. Another week has gone by, and our form has been just as good. Last time we checked in, we were at 8-2-0, now 21-3-0, so 13-1-0 since the last presser. What will our next week of fixtures hold? 15-0-0? I think we will lose only 2 games or 3.

2. We are doing really well on both ends of the ice, with the best goals against and the third best goals for. Care to comment?  Our goalie.

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

4. Congrats to our new captain, @ROOKIE745, and our two A’s, @Proto and @DaftRaincloud. What do you want to say, either to the squad, or to the new captains? I 2ant to say good luck and I am happy for all of them especially Proto.

5. We have three “easy” games ahead of us, playing the bottom ranked Yukon three times in a row, but then we have the Ottawa matchup. Worried at all?  Nope not at all.

6. What is your favorite vacation spot? Cabo Mexico.

7. Who do think should perform at the next Superbowl halftime show? Shawn Mendes

1. Well I'm a little late so forgive me, but for the next week, not the one we just had, I could see us going 15-0-0, no more then 1 or 2 looses.

 

2. Fantastic play by the whole team in front of me, very proud of everyone.

 

3. Boston Pizza

 

4. I am very honored to get to be captain, especially as a goalie! Very proud of Proto and cloud and Proto I can see being captain material very soon.

 

5. Well considering I know how that went...... no XD

 

6. Not much of a traveler, I just like to stay here in Canada ^^

1. Nothing other than 15-0 is foreseeable

2. It's a wonder we aren't top in each, so we certainly have room to improve

3. I would say ihop, I never wake up early enough for breakfast so why not try for dinner?

4. I'd of course like to congratulate them for being the captains of this year's VHLM winners!

5. I suppose, we could be a bit complacent going into the game but we are at the top for a reason

6. Probably Hawaii, it's way better than Greenland haha

Answer 6 questions to claim 2 TPE

 

1. Top of the league baby! Just by a point. Will we ever lose again?

2. The San Diego Marlins are currently on a 6 game win streak. More worried about them or Ottawa?

3. Outside of the top 5 teams, do you think any of the bottom 6 have a chance to upset a cup victory?

4. What do you think is the best kind of pasta sauce?

5. Would you rather take a season ending injury (the rest of your career is unaffected) and we win the cup, or we go out in the finals but you win regular season MVP?

6. Out of the rest of players in the league (not on Minnesota) who do you wish was on our team?

7. If you could make a new player right now, what would be their name?

8. Cheezits or Goldfish?

7. If you could make a new player right now, what would be their name?

8. Cheezits or Goldfish?

1. My heart says no we will never lose another game, but my brain says the moment I start believing we will never lose again we will, in fact, lose again...I'm gonna say yes we will lose again to play it safe.

2. Gotta be Ottawa. Teams can go on good runs, but the Lynx have been our scariest competitor this season and should be considered our main threat still.

3. I mean, never say never! It's pretty statistically unlikely that the lower down teams make a run, but with Halifax last season we pulled a series upset, and all it takes is that plus some more luck to make a unlikely Cinderella run.

5. Definitely the injury and cup. I know this is a cliche answer to give, but once you hit the playoffs the cup is all that matters. I do care about having a good regular season, but it doesn't really matter compared to getting a ring in the end.

7. Since I'm a Quebecer, probably something stereotypically French-Canadian like Pierre-Marc Dupuis. Just any typical two French-Canadian first names followed by a basic last name.

8. Goldfish for sure. Same cheesy goodness that you get from Cheezits, but way less messy. The cleanliness factor is probably what puts goldfish over the line for me though because I would say I like the taste of Cheezits more.

1. I believe not. We have surely taken too many L's already

2. I would say Ottawa, though San Diego is a bit worrying

3. No

4. Some sort of cheese with Alfredo would do

5. Winning the cup of course

6. Probably Edwin. It's been great playing with him in the WJC as well as Houston last season.

7. New Player

8. Cheez

1. As much as I wish we could win every game probably not DX

 

2. Ottawa but we can't ignore the Marlins either.

 

3. No, to much of a divide between the teams.

 

5. Season ending injury for sure, the cup win for the team is more important.

 

6. Thomas Landry from the Marlins, really enjoyed playing with him in Halifax.

 

7. I would say it but I think I'll keep it a secret for when I actually make said player.

 

8. Goldfish~

7. Who do you think will nab regular season MVP?

8. What hat would you wear, if you had to wear one, right now?

1. Gotta be Harry Kane (Soccer, Tottenham Hotspur). Total professional who gives his all every game for Spurs and has changed the team since coming up from the academy.

2. I'm 5'11, so I guess I can't complain about my height too much. I guess I could've had another inch or two just so I can hit the 6'+ mark? Oh well.

5. Great! Playing for a team so dominant is awesome, I'm just excited for what the playoffs are gonna bring, considering we've gotta be the favourites for the cup.

6. Gotta be

   1. The Boys in Minny

   2. San Diego

   3. Ottawa

All 3 are dominating this season, but San Diego has really turned it up a level and should be able to see out second place, behind us of course

7. Roque Davis or Kyl Offerson on San Diego have been incredible so they're probably the easy MVP choices. Hopefully Gabriel Gutzwiler @daftraincloud can catch them with a strong finish though!

8. Easily a toque. It's so cold here in Quebec right now I almost need to wear one in the house...

1. Matt Carpenter, I hope to able to be an accomplished player while I age as he has.

2. I'm happy here, in Greenland my head was never bumped on the hard igloo ceilings.

3. They should know we're here to win, and nothing less, so they should put their past behind them and prep for a cup!

5. It feels okay but it's not what we're aiming for. That is still to come.

6. Us, Houston, San Diego

8. I would say my helmet. It keeps me safe in and out of the game.
