1) I mean it's tough, sometimes. But I know and I think all the guys know we're doing the right things, playing the right way and it's going to work out for us if we stay patient.

 

2) Zetterstrom

 

3) It's a sad answer but do we really have a rival right now? Maybe Malmo because we've been fighting them for a playoff spot the last couple of seasons. Maybe Prague because they're the only team we've played in the playoffs with this current group. I think there's a Riga/Helsinki rivalry as hedge says, but I haven't been able to experience it.

 

4) It looks like how an orange (the fruit) tastes. Does that make sense? I have no idea.

 

5) I'm not sure.

 

6) It's probably been like a decade since I read books, but I did love the Harry Potter series when I was in school. I'll say any one of them.

[Eynhallow 412]

1. The team has had some heart-breaking close losses this season. What do you do to get the guys motivated after a tough loss?

 

I would show them a video of the Pretenders from Toronto as an educational device as to how not to play hockey !!!

 

2. Who is that guy in our locker room that's always there to pick everyone else with an inspiring speech or act?

 

Yup, its gotta be Linus Zettersrom @Ledge and Dairy.  I almost forgive him for being a Habs fan !!!

 

3. Who do you think is our biggest rival in the VHL?

 

Everyone!!  We gotta get on a winning streak and make a splash in the playoffs.  Can't miss out again !!!  

 

4. How would you describe the colour orange to a blind person?

 

It feels warm and smells and tastes like orange juice.

 

5. What is the cheesiest movie you have ever seen?

 

Thats a tough one because I have watched way to many cheesy movies while being trapped inside during covid.  The Avengers (1998) comes to mind.  Flimsy plot, Cheap special effects, absolutely dumb plot and underwhelming performances by some really good actors/actresses.

 

6. What is the best book you have ever read?

1. The Reign recently acquired Jolly Greene Giant and Oh Sens from the Toronto Legion in exchange for Addison McLaren and Han Jae Kuk, with multiple draft picks involved. What did you think of the deal?

 

I think these guys have made an immediate impact, so it's good to see. I hope I'm not next on the trading block though

 

2. Who is the scariest team to play right now?

 

At the moment, I think the scariest team we're playing is ourselves.

 

3. What do we do about our goalie situation, with Harvey gone next season?

 

I think the draft may resolve that, depeding on where we select

 

4. What was your favourite cereal growing up?

 

I hated cereal. In order to be the elite level athlete I am, I only ate hard-boiled eggs and drank raw eggs.

 

5. What was the best gift you ever received?

 

Getting drafted to the VHL by Riga.

 

6. Which player do you hate the most in the NHL?

 

Auston Matthews because go sens go

1. It's sad to see McLaren go, he was a good guy to have around the locker room but we are in a bit of a tough spot right now and if we are gonna get ourselves out of it we have to take some risks. We got a good return and I'm excited to see how the new guys improve the team.

2. Maybe Warsaw, they have been so good for so long and it's always a hard game to win.

3. I think we should try and draft Emeritus, he would might not be able to be a starter straight away but he would solve our goalie problem for a while in the future.

4. I love krave, it's great both with milk or dry.

5. I got a small wooden gun that shot elastic bands and it was super fun to play with as a kid.

6. Either Tom Wilson or Ryan Reeves. Two guys that consistently make dirty plays.

1 it was a nice deal but i really miss mcLaren

2 everyone that has more point than us lol

3 I hope that next season we can find a good goalie as a free agent 

4 I live in Europe so we don't have that much of cereals like in the USA or Canada but my favorite are the choco pops or the frosties

5 the Ps4

6 well i'm not going to sound original but  Tom Wilson is for sure  one of the players that  I hate the most 

 

[Eynhallow 412]

 

1. The Reign recently acquired Jolly Greene Giant and Oh Sens from the Toronto Legion in exchange for Addison McLaren and Han Jae Kuk, with multiple draft picks involved. What did you think of the deal?

 

Overall it makes a lot of sense and, so, I like it.  We will miss Addy though.

 

2. Who is the scariest team to play right now?

 

Its gotta be the Bears.  The stats say it all.

 

3. What do we do about our goalie situation, with Harvey gone next season?

 

Is Harvey retiring ??  A trade for an active young goalie might be the solution.

 

4. What was your favourite cereal growing up?

 

Cheerios....still is in fact,

 

5. What was the best gift you ever received?

 

My dad gave me his cottage where I spend most of my summers.

1. With the way we've been playin, there is zero doubt in my mind

2. McCloud catching fire and the recent trades have all been instrumental for sure

3. Honestly I've been slowing down in terms of scoring for sure, but being able to log big minutes all season is a great accomplishment and doing so in the playoffs is the goal

4. I actually found I'm taking a lot more shots, which is great since I've been getting a lot of PP goals

5. The hardest part is going from hot and sweaty to being covered in velcro and tight equipment. Believe me, I know from experience

6. Ontario is still locked down pretty tight, so nothing huge, but hopefully I can get out of my town at least.

 

Thanks again man for bailing me out 

[Eynhallow 412]

1. We're in the final stretch and hot on Malmo's heels. Can we make it into the fifth spot?

 

At this time we are 2 points behind Malmo with a game in hand.  Recently we have been either winning or taking points in every game played.  The schedules have similar levels of difficulty.  so, given recent experiences with STHS, my answer would be a firm "Maybe"

 

2. What's been the major factor in our good form over the past week?

 

I think the recent trade has provided us with a winning formula.  The question really is was this too little, too late ?

 

3. Are you feeling good about your game or do you feel you have more in the tank?

 

I don't know if there is more in the tank so much as that Isau seems to be near the top of his current performance envelope.

 

4. In what areas have you seen the most improvement in your play this year?

 

Isau will end up with 30 points more this year than last.  That is an increase of about 60%.  After 72 game Isau applied 114 hits last season.  He will end up with about 230 hits this season.  That is a 100% increase.

 

5. How difficult is it to be playing hockey in a cold rink when it's summer and the sun is shining?

 

That depends on really how hot it is outside.  A cool arena might be a relief.

 

6. Do you have any travel plans for the summer vacation?

 

Personally, travel is still out (covid-related).  As far as Isau is concerned.  He will likely make his annual pilgrimage back to Swords.

[Bojovnik 487]

Presser 27.06

 

1. So the season ended with us just missing out on the playoffs. How disappointing was it not to get it done in the final game?

2. The Reign lost out to Malmo via tiebreak. Do you think the VHL should pick another tiebreak instead of wins?

3. What was the most positive thing of the season for you?

4. Do you think that the Reign will have a shot of winning the draft lottery?

5. What are your plans for the off-season?

6. What makes something funny?
