Mexico City Kings Press Conference

Week 2 chillin edition

 

1. Are you surprised by how we came out firing, going 8-2-0 to start the season?

2. Houston hasn't even lost a game yet, what can we do to possibly be the first to hand them an L?

3. Have you been living up to your pre-season expectations so far?

4. Building on that, what have you identified as a key area you need to improve on?

5. What's your favourite fast food for when you just need a quick meal?

6. What should we hand out after each game to acknowledge the "Player of the Game"? Perhaps a poncho?

1. Are you surprised by how we came out firing, going 8-2-0 to start the season?

No, I expected us to have a strong start to the season and we're doing just that.

2. Houston hasn't even lost a game yet, what can we do to possibly be the first to hand them an L?

Let me hit every single player on their team. I want blood against those guys. 

3. Have you been living up to your pre-season expectations so far?

I guess? I want to be a defensive defenseman and it looks like I'm filling that role well. 

4. Building on that, what have you identified as a key area you need to improve on?

Probably my goalscoring but that's not really a big thing.

5. What's your favourite fast food for when you just need a quick meal?

A cheeky Nando's is always good.

6. What should we hand out after each game to acknowledge the "Player of the Game"? Perhaps a poncho?

I like the poncho idea a lot actually. Sure, why not?

1. No, i joined yesterday so idk much about the players, but i do know that the name Mexico came in clutch. 

 

2. I think we should give them a surprise, for example if they play with a strategy (idk if strategies exist in this game) we could spend some more time than usual studying on how to counter it.

 

3. I joined yesterday so I haven't played a game yet.

 

4. Same answer as #3.

 

5. Underrated opinion incoming.  Omelette or some tacos.

 

6. A role for how many of play of the game awards the player has been rewarded.

1. Are you surprised by how we came out firing, going 8-2-0 to start the season?

Not in the slightest. We have some tough opponents that are also cup contenders this year, but I'd argue that it will really end up being between us and Houston on who will go all the way to the promised land of lifting the cup. I'm super proud of the boys on what they've done so far and here's to more wins!

 

2. Houston hasn't even lost a game yet, what can we do to possibly be the first to hand them an L?

Play tighter on defense is really the only way. When we went up against them earlier in the season we gave them a run for their money, but we ended up losing due to it being a scoring gallery. If we can put up the goals and have a bit more of shutdown defense, we surely will give them the hugest L possible.

 

3. Have you been living up to your pre-season expectations so far?

As the team waterboy/AGM, I think I've done a decent job so far. The one thing that I'm disappointed in is not being able to offer on players quicker than most other teams (mostly due to either timezone differences or just not being on the forums by the time I've seen a posting), but we were able to grab @Vatrecently off waivers which I'm pumped for since he's another Euro!

 

4. Building on that, what have you identified as a key area you need to improve on?

I think for myself, I need to really purse hyping up the locker room more as well as seeking more waiver players to grab. I want our locker room and roster to be a fun group that loves to be here and wants to win a cup, and I think the first step is getting a bumping locker room.

 

5. What's your favourite fast food for when you just need a quick meal?

I would say sushi, but after moving to Budapest I gotta unfortunately go for McDonalds. European fast food hits different, and the McDonalds here is actually not bad. But damn do I miss my Dominos Pizza ;(

 

6. What should we hand out after each game to acknowledge the "Player of the Game"? Perhaps a poncho?

A Player of The Game Poncho alongside a coupon for 50% off a Taco Bell Burrito would be the ideal. Something tells me that @Jakefufuis a huge burrito guy who would kill for one of those for each POTG.

Mid-Season Form Edition!

 

1. Do you think we can overcome one of Minnesota or Houston or are we destined for a 3rd place finish?
2. Which team at the bottom of the standings do you think will turn it around and make a playoff push?

3. If you could have a personal goal song, which song would it be?
4. Who do you think our biggest rival is this season?

5. Our goal differential is up there with the best in the league, do you think we stand a chance if we were to face off against a top team in the playoffs?

6. What is your favourite meal to eat for breakfast?

 

[bluesfan55 103]

1. Do you think we can overcome one of Minnesota or Houston or are we destined for a 3rd place finish?

I think we can pass Houston. Screw Houston.
2. Which team at the bottom of the standings do you think will turn it around and make a playoff push?

Honestly, I'm not sure if any of them can turn it around.

3. If you could have a personal goal song, which song would it be?

Not really a music guy so none.
4. Who do you think our biggest rival is this season?

Houston due to proximity and my personal dislike of them. To one-up them would be very good.

5. Our goal differential is up there with the best in the league, do you think we stand a chance if we were to face off against a top team in the playoffs?

Oh of course, we can go up with any of the top teams and beat them.

6. What is your favourite meal to eat for breakfast?

I like bangers and mash. Good old english food.

[Juice 641]

1. Do you think we can overcome one of Minnesota or Houston or are we destined for a 3rd place finish?

I have full faith in our boys to come up clutch and absolutely dominate Houston and Minnesota. We were able to defeat Houston once and all our games with them have been close, same with Minnesota. If we continue our pace and our progression, I say we are in tight contention for a cup run

2. Which team at the bottom of the standings do you think will turn it around and make a playoff push?

I have a strong feeling about Halifax @rory...

 

3. If you could have a personal goal song, which song would it be?

Ricky Martin - Livin' La Vida Loca would be my go-to choice for

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

Houston without a doubt, they were the clear cut cup contenders alongside us for the season and we've been butting heads all season. A close second would be the Yukon Rush as we've had some hectic games with each other and I have some personal vendettas with them.

 

5. Our goal differential is up there with the best in the league, do you think we stand a chance if we were to face off against a top team in the playoffs?

I think this is the main reason we have a really good chance to go toe-to-toe with Houston and Minnesota in the playoffs. We aren't playing well because we're lucky, we are playing well because we are a good team and I can't wait for the boys to go clutch mode in the plofs.

 

6. What is your favourite meal to eat for breakfast?

I'm an absolute sucker for breakfast wraps. Throw some scrambled eggs, hashbrowns, bacon, and sausage all into a quesadilla wrap and I'd be the happiest boy in town.

6. What is your favourite meal to eat for breakfast?

 

 

 

1. Do you think we can overcome one of Minnesota or Houston or are we destined for a 3rd place finish?

 

I think we are going to overtake one of them to become the 2nd place and end the season there, and honestly were good enough for 2nd place and i think that we will get up there very soon.

 

2. Which team at the bottom of the standings do you think will turn it around and make a playoff push?

 

Halifax 21st.  I think they have had a very up and down season and i think they can turn it around very quickly, with some luck and skill i think they could take it to quarters.

 

3. If you could have a personal goal song, which song would it be?

 

The race by Yello, nothing more to it.

 

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

 

Houston.  We began the season very tight with them and we're in a race for the first spot, now they have taken of a bit in the league, but i think that next season we will take the lead of the standings instead of them.

 

5. Our goal differential is up there with the best in the league, do you think we stand a chance if we were to face off against a top team in the playoffs?

 

That depends on what kind of team we are playing, if we are playing a team with a lot of defence in focus it would clash well with our goal differential, but if we would meet a team with many scored goals and many let in goals then i think there would be a what we call in sweden "målkalas" where there would be so many goals that the defence doesn't try as much more to defend only attack.

 

6. What is your favourite meal to eat for breakfast?

 

I like keeping it nice and easy so cereal and some chocky milk to make the pain go away.

2. We had a couple trades go through recently, do you think they are what we need to make a cup run?

My brain is pretty microscopic when it comes to players around the league, but if Hylands thinks it's good then i trust him.

I don't think it will happen but most likely would be Halifax 21st IMO.

1) I think it will be hard to over take first.

I think if we try hard and believe in ourselves this group of players can do anything.

2. We had a couple trades go through recently, do you think they are what we need to make a cup run?

Yeah of course, it brought me here (please ignore that I have been useless thus far)

3. Of the 4 teams at the bottom of the VHLM, who is most likely to make a late push into the playoffs?

Since most of them have now been eliminated uh... Who ever's left probably has the best chance.

4. What would be your ultimate cheat meal?

Traditional Faroese stuff. Sluppöl to drink, and lots of lamb, ræst kjøt style, and of course you have to include fish, ræstur fiskur style if you want to be really authentic.

Dude I've had this name for like 8 years I don't know I think goats are funny.
