Malmo Nighthawks Press Conference


Recommended Posts

Swooping in from the minors to get some free TPE, but I'm technically a Nighthawk so this is probably ok. 

1. Any S67 draftees that you want on the squad?

2. Are you happy with your players performance this season?

3. Discord or Forums?

 

4. Predict when we will win our first cup

5. Do you play an instrument? If you do, which instrument?

6. Would you rather be feared or loved?

1. Hogan, Tate, Zoiderberg, and Gles all look pretty good. 

2. Definitely not in the first chunk of the season, but Shackleford has turned it around since. 

3. Discord for shit posting and memes, forums for actual VHL talk.

4. Next season.

5. Shackleford has been known to play only a single instrument: a trombone. But for the love of God do not ask for Rusty's trombone.

6. In the words of a man much smarter than me: "why not both?"

1. Saskatoon Wild, I hope.

6. What VHLM prospect are you most excited about that will be joining Malmo?

1. I am going to say Helsinki.  I just think they look very strong this year.

2. I will go with the Tampa Bay Lightning.  I think they will want to rebound after this past post-season and they are incredibly talented obviously.

3. I can't answer that.  But there are a few really good options for sure.

4. Probably either JHC or Glover.  Glover had a tremendous rookie campaign and without JHC we probably lose a lot more games.

5. Davos/QC/Riga.  All three are basically tied.

6. All of them! Shackleford, Strong, Morpheus, Nacho, Gaudette, Jaundice, Laughton, etc.

1. Helsinki they look pretty good although Calgary and Riga could give them a run for their money 

2. Tampa Bay most likely they had a rough postseason this year but they are still an amazing team

3. Rayz Funk is the obvious choice he has the most tpe and is very active 

4.JHC is in my opinion our team mvp we would not have won many games if it weren’t for him

5.Riga or Vancouver 

6.Blake Laughton he has had a pretty good season on Ottawa

1. What do you think about our series of trades this offseason?

It's kind of a lot to keep track of, and while things could have gone better, I trust ADV to do the best possible with what's available.

2. Predict how we will do next season

Sweep every playoff series and get a cup.

3. What do you think all the signings from NHL/NBA free agency?

It's funny to see vets like Pavel ski and Perry going to the stars, and with the rumors about other stars getting way overpaid will definitely be interesting to see how that plays out, especially with the salary cap going down. 

4. Are there any free agents that you want Malmo to go after?

I'm not really sure who's on the market, but I hope we don't overpay for anyone and keep up the steady work that we've been doing.

5. Thoughts on Helsinki winning the cup this year?

Predictable. Unfortunately the European conference is blatantly superior.

6. Who is your favorite member not on Malmo?

@Renomitsu because he makes me happy.

@xsjack @Abaddon @Bucky___lastard @Gaudette @Advantage @Toasty @Wheaties @GustavMattias @Nacci25 @Jus @K1NG LINUS @FBR

1. Besides the one backfiring, I think they have been solid and were successful in wrapping around our common goal.  Despite the backfiring on the one, I think the trade after will help solve some of my concerns from it.  Overall, I'm content thus far.

 

2. I think it will be a tough year given our situation in net, but I do believe we will improve offensively as we continue to see a lot of our younger players get closer to their prime.

 

3. It's crazy.  Hard to follow everything but it has been a fun process thus far.

 

4. Good question.  We will see.  I will say it does seem that the trades have been the story of the off-season so far.

 

5. Good for them.  Was an excellent team and well-rounded.  Exciting that we played them fairly close at times throughout the season.

 

6. Probably @Renomitsu or @tfong

1. What do you think about our series of trades this offseason? I think there's some great depth added to the team that should set us up well going forward.

2. Predict how we will do next season... We are going to improve over last year, I see us being solid playoff contenders.

3. What do you think all the signings from NHL/NBA free agency? Not much for an NBA fan, but the NHL free agency has been wild. Some big surprises in what teams have been wiling to throw money at.

4. Are there any free agents that you want Malmo to go after? I'm not really familiar with many of them, but I trust ADV will make the right decision in free agency.

5. Thoughts on Helsinki winning the cup this year? Great season for them, would rather see us there, but that time will come.

6. Who is your favorite member not on Malmo? @rjfryman

A: I'm good with it. Pretty excited actually. Can't wait to get started and make the team.

A: Start by winning a championship in The juniors and then move up and do the same thing with Malmo. Hopefully I can distinguish myself as an elite D man

 

3. Are you a Locker Room or a Discord type of person?

 

A: discord, just the way it is.

not really anything that stands out. So I guess the overall experience.

A: See Eric Karlsson and Brett Burns mass-up, That's what I'm looking for.

1. What do you think about our series of trades this offseason?

Minus the 1OA let down (which worked out in my favour), I'd say the team made some brilliant moves in the offseason

 

2. Predict how we will do next season.

I think we'll hunt for a playoff spot. We'll be better than last season.

 

3. What do you think all the signings from NHL/NBA free agency?

NHL signings were very interesting with the Aho/Canes/Canadians situation. Still waiting on Kawhi, though.

 

4. How do you feel about being drafted by Malmo?

It's incredible to be apart of an incredibly strong core. You can just tell this group wants nothing but to win and we will be working extremely hard to get there.

 

5. Thoughts on Helsinki winning the cup this year?

Good for them. You could tell they deserved it. Europe is the stronger of the two continents, anyways.

 

6. Who is your favourite member not on Malmo?

Well, I have two equally loved members that are not on Malmo. @Acydburn who's all the way in Seattle and @Thranduil who is in Davos. We were the holy trinity last season in Halifax and I can't pick a favourite out of the two.

@Phil @VanCanWin @fonziGG @HughJas_ @MetalToday @trevmi @Jayhawk @mmarcoux98 @HanManHimself

 

It's late, but let's do this thing.

 

1. I think we're in good shape! @Advantage explained how each one helps us, and I'm happy with what we've accomplished. 

2. We'll be better, for sure. Our prospects have kept developing, and we're on the road to success. We're still a bunch of prospects, for the most part, and I feel like that will hurt our chances at being one of the top teams out there. In the future, though, watch out.

3. I haven't really been paying attention to either league, honestly--I really only follow my team in the NHL, and I don't follow the NBA at all. I do know that Kawhi Leonard didn't re-sign with Toronto, though, and I'm slightly disappointed by that as he really broke out and became super well-known with the Raptors this season.

4. I'm not a draftee this season, but I can tell all of our draftees this: you're in a good place! Our GM is cool, we've got a good locker room, and this team should be elite by the time your player reaches a high TPE level, which will put you right in the middle of things.

5. Congratulations to them. Quik has gotten a bit of a bad reputation this season for not doing much, but in my opinion it was already done before the season even started. They've got great players (and award-winners, at that) at every position and I think they've shown that they were the best team in the league this season. I wish it could have been us, but that time will come.

6. It's a bit weird how many times I've said this, but I'll have to go with @Sonnet, my good friend, first-ever GM, and the guy I talk to when anyone asks me a question about goaltending.

1. Rayz Funk

 

2. I updated a 100 player spreadsheet throughout the season and sent a PM to everyone in my top-50.  I had received interest from Ray the night before and he decided during the trade negotiation for first overall, that he wanted to ask for more money.  I didn't follow up because generally you don't expect that to be an issue and I had received a confirmation a week before and night before of interest.  So no I won't do more research.

 

3. Meh...that's all.  We didn't do much.

 

4. Not much of a thought.  Pretty trash crop minus Drago.

 

5. Probably not right now.  I still like our team more long-term tho.

1. I think Malmo made a bunch of smart moves in terms of trades for now and the future. Obviously the trade up back-fired, but otherwise it's very clear this is a process and I think ADV has been taking the right patient but still aggressive approach.

2. I think we could turn some heads, I don't know if playoffs are in sight entirely but who knows. Davos rebuilt, Riga got younger up front, Vancouver doesn't have a elite goalie. There are a lot of other question marks and while we certainly aren't contender status our deep roster means that if we win against who we are supposed to win against, any upsets we pull off could push us into a final playoff spot.

3. NBA was wild and weird and a huge shake up. NHL was fine.

4. Wasn't drafted, traded but back when I was I was stoked, still am. Happy to finish Pajari's career here, even if he's starting to show his age.

5. They were overdue, Pepper was overdue. They for sure made the finals too early in Season 63 and they got swept for their troubles, but it was a close series in Season 64 that could of went either way. At a certain point though you make the finals that many times and your going to win it. 

6. Tough question, lots of good active members on the site. Right now I'd have to say probably @diamond_ace because you can always count on him to be level headed, and make a competent VHL player you can never go wrong in having him on your team.

Discord.

1. What do you think of being a member of the Malmo Nighthawks?

I'm very excited. Malmo looks to be a great locker room and set of guys and the faith put into me by the GM is heart warming. I'm excited for the season, ahead!

 

2. What are your goals for your individual player this year and going forward?

I wanna be the #1 and win games for this team. Last year, I didn't play my best as a Halifax goalie but I do intend to change that this season with Malmo.

 

3. Are you a Locker Room or a Discord type of person?

Discord, easily.

 

4. Favourite thing about the Victory Hockey League?

The community is great. 

 

5. The thing you would like to change about the Victory Hockey League?

Nothing so far. Still far too new ;)

 

6. What kind of player are you looking to build?

My plan is to be like Luongo.

1. I think either me or Michael Johnson is the MVP right now. I am playing great right now and Johnson is being a beast even though he is a rookie. Garcia is also playing very well.

 

2. For sure. It's only six games but I'm on pace for 96 points baby.

 

3. Our future is outstanding. We could maybe make the playoffs this year, but next year we definitely will.

 

4. Maybe pick up another scoring defenseman, although we have that figured out for next offseason. We also will continue to improve through our young players continuing to grow.

 

5. I had five points in one game one time, which was pretty cool. I would say the S64 VHLM championship except I was trash in the playoffs, and I am a bonified choker in the VHLM playoffs.

 

6. I go to the gym through the day, get on the ice, and then go to the Hawk House to play "Drink the Beer"

 

7. NutBuster8000, or Doug. Whatever floats your boat

 

8. Yes. My player has the uncanny ability of playing terrible for the US, but I will be there for the next world cup.

 

9. Very handsome

 

10. Always

1) Johnson hands down he's a God in the pipes

 

2.) so far yes I'm tied for the best rookie in the VHL Rn 

 

5.) my 105 point season in the VHLM 

 

8.) no I'm not gonna to maybe the Juniors tho

 

9.) great euro fans are great

 

10.) u know it

1. Who is the Nighthawks' MVP so far this season?

Has to be Michael Johnson, our goalie. He’s been stealing games for us!

 

2. Are you proud of your performance?

Considering I just snagged my first 2 assists of my career, I guess I’m proud as that’s a cool milestone. I expect much more though, especially as I’m still looking for my first goal.

 

3. What excites you the most about Malmo?

Just a great group of guys, tons of potential and a real chance of being a top team relatively soon.

 

4. What does Malmo need to do to improve?

I think most of the improvement will come internally with time. Lots of young guys that just need time to grow.

 

5. What has your greatest achievement as a player been so far in your career?

Getting drafted was huge. Also getting my first VHL point.

 

6. What is your off season routine like?

All business. I like to relax at the beginning of summer for a little bit, kind of remove myself from the world but once my training starts I’m extremely focused.

 

7. What is your nickname?

Van.

1. Ether Matthew materazo or Michael Johnson it’s between the 2 of them

2.kinda so far I am leading the league in goals with 6 but only have 7 points so I want more assists but otherwise I am fine with my performance so far

3. Our future I think we have the brightest future in the league I say by S69 we will be Championship contenders for sure

7.  "The Lyncher " I think it’s cause my last name or maybe cause I like lynching people or a bit of both I don’t know really 

8. Hopefully but I think I can play for mercenaries or team world I would be surprised if I played for Canada 

10. it doesn’t matter to me so definitely a yes especially if their Doug’s sloppy seconds

2. I'm surprising myself for sure but the season is long so no major expectations!

3. Honestly, the team excites me the most. We're a fun group!

4. I'm not sure theres much to improve? We just need to grow together

5. Going from backup to challenging a spot in Halifax

6. Gym and reviewing footage all day long. Plus some golf.

7. The Fonz

8. I'm not sure I'll be getting picked to be honest.

9. I love the fans in Malmo, such a great set of fans!!! European fans are intimidating as hell!

10. Not a chance
