Mexico City Kings Press Conference

[Spade18 1,305]

1. With our season over, what are your plans for the off-season?

Fightin round the world ala Russel Crowe

2. When a team beats you in the playoffs, do you prefer to see them win the cup or fall short the next round?

I would rather they lose.  I know a lot of people say they would rather the team win, but to me it's more "If we had beaten them, then no one could have stopped us"

3. What are your goals for next season?

To actually have a fight

4. What six VHLE cities do you want to see represented?

My vote would be London, Paris, Rome, Berlin, Vienna, Prauge

5. Tampa Bay Lightning are up 2-0 on Montreal.  Any chance Habs come back?

6. Describe your season in 3 words.

DID NOT FIGHT

[Thunfish 72]

1. With our season over, what are your plans for the off-season?

I'll mostly be trying some experimental things for the time being, I believe. Hopefully, we'll be back in quality fashion for our next go around the wheel.

2. When a team beats you in the playoffs, do you prefer to see them win the cup or fall short the next round?

I think the most honourable thing is to lose to a team who will, in the end, win it all.

3. What are your goals for next season?

Be productive, be competent and be regular.

4. What six VHLE cities do you want to see represented?

Paris, Thun, Munich, Lisbon, Milan and Edinburgh.

5. Tampa Bay Lightning are up 2-0 on Montreal.  Any chance Habs come back?

Never say never in these kinds of things. I do doubt it in any case.

6. Describe your season in 3 words.

Needs more improvement.

1. Prepare for a couple of drafts

2. Personally, I don't like to wish failure on anyone, but I'd rather they go far so we can say we lost to the championship team

3. 30 goals doesn't seem too far out

4. The teams with historical relevance should get in I think

5. Ah jeez man, 3-0 now and they have all the momentum. I loved the way we played at the end of game 3, but we need to crack Vasi.

6. Uhhhhhhh first round loss? Lol that was simple

[Advantage 2,891]

Wouldn't be fair to single out anyone in particular now, would it?

2. The team has assembled a full squad for the first time in a couple seasons.  What are your expectations for the team?

Well, we should improve from last season as a minimum. Sky is the limit.

3. The VHL is celebrating it's fourteenth birthday.  What is your favourite memory you have from one of your previous birthdays?

Uh... I joined last season so... I dunno.

4. With the world starting to open up, any big plans upcoming?

Not 100% sure. Brazilian government has a talent for screwing up peachy situations. Assuming nothing goes downhill and we don't invent an even more lethal variation of the virus, I'm planning on going with my classmates from French class for some fun downtown at the end of the year. Maybe meet some of my mates over there as well.

5. Who will be our biggest rival this season in my opinion?

Anyone that gets in the way.

6. Is there anything management can do (other than be more competent) for you?

I mean... if you know someone who's into manga, anime and is a cutie, I won't complain...

1. Not familiar with any of the new draftees, but I'm glad we have a solid group this year.

2. I hope we can go far in the playoffs... getting knocked out first round last season sucked, hopefully we can make it to the finals.

3. My 20th birthday will always be my favourite as I travelled around Ontario with my buddies for a month.

4. Not much will change in my life.

5. I hope not Yukon again, tough team last season.

6. You're doing great in my books.

[bukss_a 110]

1. The draft is over and we have added five new players and two returning players to the team.  Of those players, who are you most excited to play with?

Since im one of the additions, I will skip this question because im not familiar with my fellow draftie mates. 

 

2. The team has assembled a full squad for the first time in a couple seasons.  What are your expectations for the team?

Its simple, CUP. 

 

3. The VHL is celebrating it's fourteenth birthday.  What is your favourite memory you have from one of your previous birthdays?

Althought im long time in VHL, I cant remember other birthday. So its Hard to answer. 

 

4. With the world starting to open up, any big plans upcoming?

Havent thought about big plans.

 

5. Who will be our biggest rival this season in my opinion?

Probably, should be CUP holders and the second finale team. 

 

6. Is there anything management can do (other than be more competent) for you?

Lets return to this question after some time, when we will know each other better.

1. I'm excited to play with everyone! Brand new team for me! Let's find some chemistry!

2. Hey, let's go big or go home. Cup, baby!

3. My last birthday was during covid where we barely saw our families, etc. I went snowboarding with the nieces and nephews and had a great time for my birthday. Didn't see them for months.

4. Lots of water sports on the lake!

5. Everyone else we face is my rival.

6. I'm good to go, to be honest. They could get me a free 100 TPE for no reason, but that's a hard ask.

[Spade18 1,305]

1. The draft is over and we have added five new players and two returning players to the team.  Of those players, who are you most excited to play with?

I wanna sit in the box after beating the shit out of someone else.  But I'm happy to sit in the box with anyone.

2. The team has assembled a full squad for the first time in a couple seasons.  What are your expectations for the team?

Knowing the quick turn arounds of the VHLM, I would say we're looking at a decent run here.

3. The VHL is celebrating it's fourteenth birthday.  What is your favourite memory you have from one of your previous birthdays?

I wanna say it was maybe my 27th or 28th birthday? but we went to my favorite steak house, and right next door there was this divey little irish pub that would always play west coast hockey games, so we went there to get tanked after.  the two players here are Erica and Alicia, and this was the first time they were meeting.  Erica has been my absolute best friend since college, like would not be alive with out her levels of loyalty and friendship here.  Alicia is a friend of my ex whos a bit younger than the rest of us but we love her to death.  So this was maybe a year or two after the previously mentioned Ex and I broke up.  In a drunken whirl while we were outside having a cigarette, Erica starts RAILING against my ex who we've ceremoniously named "Trashbag". So Erica goes on for like 5 minutes about how much she hates this bitch, and the terrible fucking things she would do and say to her if she ever sees her again.  And at the end of the fucking maniacal rant Alicia just goes "she's like... my best friend...." and Erica just like shuts her mouth.  Drops her cigarette, and without another word goes right back into the bar and does a shot at the counter.  We were fucking absolutely losing our shit. 

4. With the world starting to open up, any big plans upcoming?

Be ground to dust by the wheel of capitalism

5. Who will be our biggest rival this season in my opinion?

Anyone who gets in our way.

6. Is there anything management can do (other than be more competent) for you?

Keep on lookin fiiiiinnnnneeee as hell.

1. Honestly, they all look great. It’s good to see that the team is finally building the depth we need to push us to that competitive level. 

 

2. We have a solid team, now that we have the depth, I expect we will turn some heads in this upcoming season.

 

3. Easy, the first cold beer I had on my 19th birthday (legal drinking age in Canada)

 

4. I’m just looking forward to hugging people again lol. That and socializing without the distance. 

 

5. At this stage, everyone is our rival. We’ve made some big moves and everybody’s gonna be looking to take us out. 

 

6. Management is great. They run a tight, yet relaxed ship. The moral on the team is great!

1. Everytime the habs won a cup, my dad is a huge fan and we would all gather around the tv to watch together.

 

2 Younger, not sure but I think Vegas just had a good draft. Better rules for them.

 

3. I was a server in university and worked with all girls, was a good time to be a guy.

 

4. Greiss

 

5. Be the offensive defenceman for the Kings.

 

6. Watching TV, drinking beer.

1. When Kevin Bieksa scored in OT in 2011 to bring the Canucks to the Stanley Cup Finals. Don't remember much after that though.

2. Younger. They need a future. They will still be competitive for sure with some namely picks, but you can't just grab all the high priced stars.

3. One of my first jobs I was a dishwasher in a nice restaurant on a golf course. I got upgraded to a line cook, and I actually had a ton of fun with the waitresses and cooks, etc. I had a blast in that kitchen on a lot of nights. I would say my absolute favourite is my current job as an elevator mechanic though.

4. I fully trust anyone on our roster to lead us to the top.

5. This is the VHLM, so I would say score goals and get a lot of assists.

6. Computer, video games, music.

[FBR 158]

1. Favourite Memory of Sports Growing Up?
Playing: Winning the Montreal Cup in hockey, hitting for the cycle in a tournament and then, hitting a grand slam in the finals of another tournament (which we still lost) in the same year.
Watching: Just going to Montreal Expos games ruled.

 

2. If you are the Seattle Kraken, do you go younger and save the cap or try to compete right away?
They should've gone the Vegas route and try to get as many assets as possible with expansion-related trades, but Ron Francis messed everything up by asking waaaaaay too much and now, until teams are very desperate to get rid of contracts, they're... not looking to good for now AND the future.

 

3. My fiancee and I are both starting new jobs.  What is your favourite you have ever had?
The one I have currenty and it's only because the others sucked.

 

4. Who should be the captain of our team?
Already voted and believe the correct one was assigned.

 

5.  What do you need to do in your role for the Kings to be successful?
I just wanna score goals. That's the thing I'm trying to do.

 

6. Favourite thing to do when relaxing at home?
Watch stuff, play stuff and just think about nothing.

[Thunfish 72]

1. Favourite Memory of Sports Growing Up?

2002 FIFA World Cup victory.

2. If you are the Seattle Kraken, do you go younger and save the cap or try to compete right away?

I'd do what they seem to have done on the Expansion Draft - make a team of versatile and consistent players.

3. My fiancee and I are both starting new jobs.  What is your favourite you have ever had?

Updating my dad's stock spreadhseets, I think.

4. Who should be the captain of our team?

Uh... I mean... I'm the captain right now...

5.  What do you need to do in your role for the Kings to be successful?

Score goals, usually.

6. Favourite thing to do when relaxing at home?

Kick back with a glass of lemonade while blasting some tunes.

1. Compared to last season we actually have a full squad to help out Greiss. Our top 6 up front are solid.

1. New infusion of talent has been huge for the team.

2. Not really much of a difference to be honest, change of scenery.

3. Pirouette cookie sticks.

4. I'd go Canada, they're probably pretty good.

5. Goalie, would be very interesting to be one.

1. We've been really good at having everyone contribute. There's nobody really dominating our team in scoring. We have 5 players over 20 points.

2. The VHLM is a great league because it showcases future VHL stars. There's a lot of talent down here and everyone is pushing to get drafted, so everyone has the same motivations.

3. Ice cream sandwiches.

4. Netherlands!

5. Any winger position!

6. I don't know why, but I've always liked datboi. Or the shooting stars video meme.
