S73) Week 2: Ending 8/2

 

1) Mexico City finished the first week with a 3-8 record. Is this the record you expected and how can we improve next week?

  No not at all. I was looking for a much better record. We definitely need to reduce shots on goal.

 

2) Jeremy Lin has started the season on fire with 10 goals and 12 assists in 11 games. What do you think of his play so far?

 How can you think anything but awesome.

 

3) The Kings traded away Arthur Dayne early last week. What did you think of that trade?

 To be honest my head was so messed up with the beating we have been taking I didnt even notice the trade Sorry 

 

4) Do you tape your stick in a specific way? If so, how do you tape it?

 The only thing I really do is a square knob. for me it give me more control

 

5) What is your favourite hockey memory across your entire career so far?

  Well of course it had to be the shut out against Yukon.

 

6) We have no defensemen on our roster. How do you think we could upgrade the defense?

UH  sign some D-Men of course. LOL  I think we need to search the global wires and find a couple players to aid in the back end of our game

     No, thought we would be better but we need to step it up

3) The Kings traded away Arthur Dayne early last week. What did you think of that trade?

   Need to change it up if its not working

4) Do you tape your stick in a specific way? If so, how do you tape it?

1. Well, looking at the current roster, yes. But with an influx of talent on our team as of late, I believe we'll start doing better immediately.

2. I'm glad hockey is working out well for him, maybe even better than basketball.

3. I don't know who that is, but I hope we didn't get fleeced.

4. I do not tape my stick a certain way.

5. Getting attention from many VHLM teams was nice.

6. By signing defensemen - which we have done since this Q was posted.

[Matmenzinger 167]

1) Mexico City finished the first week with a 3-8 record. Is this the record you expected and how can we improve next week?   Picking up defense should start to help us win games so I'm glad we were able to make a few signings.

 

2) Jeremy Lin has started the season on fire with 10 goals and 12 assists in 11 games. What do you think of his play so far? Yeah he's on fire, playing next to him might be padding my stats a bit haha.

 

3) The Kings traded away Arthur Dayne early last week. What did you think of that trade? I mean we're not in a playoff spot, so trading off some assets makes sense.

 

 4) Do you tape your stick in a specific way? If so, how do you tape it? I tape a red and white X on the end of the blade.

 

5) What is your favourite hockey memory across your entire career so far? Getting a chance to play in the VHLM. Especially somewhere like Mexico City. It's such a different atmosphere than Austria.

 

6) We have no defensemen on our roster. How do you think we could upgrade the defense? Well luckily we just managed to sign a few. Things should look up a bit.

[Motzaburger 1,590]

1. We've had a rough few sims, what do we need to do to get back on track?

2. Who is going to be our biggest competition in the coming weeks?

3. Why is hockey in Mexico?

4. Do we need to add anything to the team after seeing the results after two weeks?

5. HOCKEY IS BACK! The NHL just restarted, who do you think is winning it all?

6. If you had to choose between fighting 1 horse sized duck, or 100 duck sized horses, what would you choose?

1. Just keep developing our talent and acquiring new ones. Rebuilds are tough but we got the resilient squad to push through

2. Well...everyone.

3. Representation down south I guess.

4. More players and more TPE.

5. I hope my Blue Jackets can stun some people.

6. Probably 1 horse sized duck. 100 is just completely overwhelming unless you have firearms.

5. I've won a trophy with SSK and I honestly didn't care much. So I'll pull for personal stats.

6. I don't care about anyone but CBJ.

[MSO94 70]

1. Welcome to the Hylands/Rory era of Mexico City. What can the team do to bounce back and make the playoffs?
    I think we need to strengthen our D we are allowing way to many shots  getting to the goalie.

    Well of course I want the cup. I dont care if we sneak in as the bottom seed. just bring on the cup

     New management always bring in more motivation to win games right?

 

2. Do you have any parting words for old man @Motzaburger?
     Thanks for everything you did, hope everything is well!

3. World Juniors is starting soon! Who are you cheering for (Go Asia!)?
     Of course team Asia~! Jeremy Lin is ready!!

4. What are your career goals in the VHL?
     To become relevant in VHL, doesnt have to be the best, but I would want to end up in the HOF with lots of ALL STARS

5. If you had to pick between an 150 point season or a Founders Cup (VHLM playoff trophy) win, which would you pick and why?

     I am going to be a little selfish here, but im going for the 150 point season, at least that's the way its looking like for me right now, I Am doing well       individually but the team not so hot. I think Winning the cup only matters in VHL and not in the minors.

6. Who are you cheering for in the NHL lottery today (OR) What do you think of the draft lottery winner?

        CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS!!!!

 

[Matmenzinger 167]

1. Welcome to the Hylands/Rory era of Mexico City. What can the team do to bounce back and make the playoffs? At this point I think it's just up to all of our newest players to keeping adding TPE. 

 

2. Do you have any parting words for old man @Motzaburger? Thanks for signing me my dude. Sorry I've been insanely busy.

 

3. World Juniors is starting soon! Who are you cheering for (Go Asia!)? Well I mean I'm representing team Europe so the choice is obvious.

 

4. What are your career goals in the VHL?

Just to have a better career than my previous player.

 

5. If you had to pick between an 150 point season or a Founders Cup (VHLM playoff trophy) win, which would you pick and why?

Point totals are really inflated in the VHLM so I'd rather win a cup.

 

6. Who are you cheering for in the NHL lottery today (OR) What do you think of the draft lottery winner? Ehh I didn't have a horse in that race.
