[ThePerfectNut 563]

1. What position team needs the most to be fully contending?
A hot goalie can always steal you some nights for the team.

 

2. Rumors swirling EU will still be 7 team race next season. Are you worried about that?

No really, some of them will definitely choke like Warsaw this season.

 

3. Cologne and Oslo just broke a record of a longest game ever (191 min 44 sec). Would you ever want to be a part of such games?

I would never, I couldn't play  the next few games. Especially as a goalie.

 

4. Your plans for the offseason?

Get better at scoring so I can produce even more.

 

5. The team voting is going slow ngl...but still. Who is Riga's most improved player this season?

Either Tucker or Weaver.

 

6. Calgary, Malmo or Davos; which team you wanna see win it all?

Not calgary cuz that would mean two people in my class got a cup. I would want Malmo

6. Calgary, Malmo or Davos; which team you wanna see win it all?

1. "You need a solid goalie more than anything. There's 12 forwards. 6 defensemen. 1 goalie every night. If our goalie is bad, we'll end up bad. Defense can only do so much to stop the puck and offense can only do so much scoring."

2. "We can't be worried, we need to make other's worried."
3. "I would love to be a part of history like that. I'd probably spend 100 of those minutes in the penalty box though..."
4. "I want to get better for the next season. I want to do good for Riga so I intend on giving it my all. ...and likely doing other dumb sh*t."
5. "Tucker Jr. has always impressed me since being on the team, truthfully."
6. "Despite being traded... nothing but love for Davos."

1. Do you expect Riga to be very busy with trades this offseason?

2. Are there any specific prospects you're hoping for Riga to take this season?

3.  How's your health this offseason - were you dealing with any nagging injuries that are healing?

4.  Who do you think should be captain next season or is it too early to say?

6. What's a superpower you'd love to have?

[ThePerfectNut 563]

1. Do you expect Riga to be very busy with trades this offseason?

Not really, they have a solid goalie, a growing forward cord. The one aspect it would need to improve is on defence.

 

2. Are there any specific prospects you're hoping for Riga to take this season?

Not really, but a forward would be decent, but he'd play in the VHLE first.

 

3.  How's your health this offseason - were you dealing with any nagging injuries that are healing?

Weaver been doing good, he's recovering his mind and body to be ready for the next season.

 

4.  Who do you think should be captain next season or is it too early to say?

It would be too early to say but why switch it up.

 

5. Did you watch the WBC (World Baseball Classic)? Is it big where you live?

Watching Japan vs USA was amazing and glad Japan won.

1. Do you expect Riga to be very busy with trades this offseason?

 

can't say I was busy but I did stuff.

 

2. Are there any specific prospects you're hoping for Riga to take this season?

 

probably not, pretty much trying to see more promising talents rather than positional needs

 

3.  How's your health this offseason - were you dealing with any nagging injuries that are healing?

 

AK is not worried about bruises or injuries. he's still salty he can't get over PPG

 

4.  Who do you think should be captain next season or is it too early to say?

 

The same caps maybe? the team didn't change a lot to make some drastic switches

 

5. Did you watch the WBC (World Baseball Classic)? Is it big where you live?

 

what's that? and definitely no, we're not really into baseball

RIGA REIGN PRESS CONFERENCE

March 26st, 2023

I'm bored so I'm taking over this week!

 

1. How do you feel about Riga trades this off-season (Sergey and Max Torq)?
 

2. Who is your favorite teammate and why is it Daniel Weaver?
 

3.  What did you improve to help the team this off-season?
 

4.  Do you think Riga is now a contender this season?
 

5. Who do you think will be the best player for Riga in the upcoming season?
 

6. Who will with the Stanley Cup this season if you watch hockey?

[a_Ferk 761]

1. How do you feel about Riga trades this off-season (Sergey and Max Torq)?

 

They seem a lot better, so not very good because Warsaw is a conference rival.
 

2. Who is your favorite teammate and why is it Daniel Weaver?

 

Brian Payne because Weaver doesn't play on the same team as me.
 

3.  What did you improve to help the team this off-season?

 

I depreciated a lot so that should help Riga out a bit.
 

4.  Do you think Riga is now a contender this season?

 

On paper they might be but we'll have to wait and find out.
 

5. Who do you think will be the best player for Riga in the upcoming season?

 

I would be shocked if it wasn't Max Torq.
 

6. Who will with the Stanley Cup this season if you watch hockey?

 

The Boston Bruins look like an absolute wagon this season.

[sadie 612]

1. Do you expect Riga to be very busy with trades this offseason?

We've already landed a couple of big players this offseason (because i am doing this press conference at the end of the week) but I would have said yes, I expected us to make some moves.

2. Are there any specific prospects you're hoping for Riga to take this season?

I think being able to grab Liv Slater would be good because they are the best D available in their range and there is a steep dropoff after.

3.  How's your health this offseason - were you dealing with any nagging injuries that are healing?

It has been very good, thankfully no injuries.

4.  Who do you think should be captain next season or is it too early to say?

I think it is too early to say but I would definitely give it to The Frenchman or Daniel Weaver- just don't know which one.

5. Did you watch the WBC (World Baseball Classic)? Is it big where you live?

I followed it a little bit but wasn't watching closely- it is big in the US but hockey has taken me over.

6. What's a superpower you'd love to have?

Flying/teleportation would be immensely helpful and cool.

[sadie 612]

1. How do you feel about Riga trades this off-season (Sergey and Max Torq)?
I feel great about them! We will definitely have a better shot  next season.

2. Who is your favorite teammate and why is it Daniel Weaver?
It's tough between Weaver and the Frenchman- they both are immensely helpful to my production

3.  What did you improve to help the team this off-season?
Getting that defense up to better be able to generate counterattacks (as well as prevent goals).

4.  Do you think Riga is now a contender this season?
Absolutely- We should never be counted out and I think we will go even further than last year, hopefully winning it all.

5. Who do you think will be the best player for Riga in the upcoming season?
I have to go with Daniel Weaver- points-wise at least. Nearing 1000 TPE, they will be an absolute force.

6. Who will with the Stanley Cup this season if you watch hockey?

I would say the Bruins, but I think they'll choke. I would say the Leafs but we know how their season will end. So I am going with Canes or Oilers for the Cup this year.

[hedgehog337 3,480]

1. Riga currently sits last in the conference. What do you think has been the main contributor to this unfortunate start? 

 

Just not lucky and forwards needing better defending skills imo.

 

2. What’s the key to getting back on track in order to make the playoffs?

 

being more lucky and forwards needing better defending skills imo.

6. BBQ season is upon us  - what is your favourite thing to BBQ? 

1) Mixture of bad luck, and just not putting the puck in the net consistently. 
2) maybe switching up some of the lines until some better chemistry starts to form. 
3) Top 10 is solid. Definitely making an impact with the club. 
4) add as much TPE as possible to make Rip a top contributor in the E…so that next season he can make the jump to the show. 
5) I think the Rangers might come out of the East..lots of good teams…definitely pulling for the Kraken to shock the world and bring the cup back to Seattle. 
6) Everything! Haha Steak, burgers, chicken shrimp and salmon! 

[ThePerfectNut 563]

1. Riga currently sits last in the conference. What do you think has been the main contributor to this unfortunate start? 

Our defense has been horrible overall, we can score goals but we allow too many which ,makes us lose games.

 

2. What’s the key to getting back on track in order to make the playoffs?

Keep improving or defence where we don't allow 5 goals per game will be a good start for us

 

3.  Curtis Crumb currently sits Top 10 in rookie scoring. How well is he adjusting to the VHL? 

He's adjusting pretty well, hes starting off prety off even tho he's a defender.

 

4.  What specifically do you want your player to do more to help this team make the playoffs?

I need to produce more points, I've been lacking this season a lot.

 

5. The Boston Bruins are the heavy favorite to win the Stanley Cup - do you think they continue the perfect season and if not, who is taking them out?

Probably Tampa will make them choke hard again lmaoo.

 

6. BBQ season is upon us  - what is your favourite thing to BBQ? 

A huge juicy steak

6. BBQ season is upon us  - what is your favourite thing to BBQ? 

1. I don’t know it could be different things. 
2. I think it would be a 10 game winning streak would do it. 

3. Yeah the lad is playing very well if he can keep putting points up on the board he will be no1 very quickly. 
4. Well score more and more assists really and stop the silly penalties and score in penalty shootouts.

5. No not really playoff has no margin in error. I what a underdog to win it.

6. I don’t know because I don’t really do bbq for me but if I do it would be ribs and stuff like that 

[Scurvy 1,185]

Cherry picking y'alls PC this week.  

 

1. I am shocked that your in last.  After a strong playoff run and your team's players I think you are falling victim to the EU curse.  Its such a strong conference we hurt each other.

 

2. A few good wins in a row and some timely losses in EU and your back in.

 

3. Hes doing well.  I always root for Defense

 

4. Doesn't apply to me.  But I think the Frenchman will have a breakout season and get the club back in

 

5. They lose to Edmonton in finals

 

6. Ribs

[sadie 612]

1. Riga currently sits last in the conference. What do you think has been the main contributor to this unfortunate start? 

We need to play better defense- we get 3 or 4 goals in many games that we can end up losing.

2. What’s the key to getting back on track in order to make the playoffs?

We need to potentially shift lines around and definitely work on dumping TPE into our worst areas.

3.  Curtis Crumb currently sits Top 10 in rookie scoring. How well is he adjusting to the VHL? 

Very well! I am glad we have even more young up and coming players for the future.

4.  What specifically do you want your player to do more to help this team make the playoffs?

SCORE. I think she should be converting more often given the better stats this year.

5. The Boston Bruins are the heavy favorite to win the Stanley Cup - do you think they continue the perfect season and if not, who is taking them out?

Carolina over Boston in 7 in the conference finals, they'll be close but won't be quite perfect enough.

6. BBQ season is upon us  - what is your favourite thing to BBQ? 

 Probably burgers or steak.
