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?

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?

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?

It's pretty upsetting, especially with the shit luck Riga has been getting in the past. Hoping the luck shifts our way when I'm potentially on the squad next season.

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

Should be regulation wins if it already isn't, 

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

The huge rally at the end of the season to come close - the team was absolutely buzzin. 

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

Of course their is, that's what odds are for  

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

Training as much as I can to prepare for my VHL rookie season. 

6. What makes something funny?

When it makes someone laugh.

1. Not very fun. The sim really screwed us over in the first half

2. Ehh, I wouldn't say the tiebreaker was the problem, but ROW would be nicer

3. Smashing career highs in almost all stats!

4. Hell yea, some enticing prospects at the top of the draft

5. Just train and visit family, nothing abnormal for now.

6. When someone funny makes it funny

[Eynhallow 412]

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?

 

Same old, same old.  This has happened before so no biggie.  At some point we will take off and fly.

 

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

 

No.  Number of wins defines a better team....or at least a more deserving team.  If there were another way of determining a tiebreaker, I am sure there would be issues with that as well.

 

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

 

Well, actually getting decent ice time as compared to the fiasco of the previous season.  As well, an 81 point season with a team-leading 266 hits is a pretty good accomplishment.

 

 

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

 

Of course, but given our luck recently....who knows.

 

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

 

No real plans other than to try to get to 800 TPE.

 

6. What makes something funny?

 

"Funny" is in the eye of the beholder what is funny for one may not be funny for another.  So defining what is funny is quite hard to do.

1. bullshit, sths is fukin wit us

2. i think head to head match ups might be a better idea tbh but i dont really have a problem with the current setup

3. i guess the late season surge even though it was just a cock tease

4. hopefully, bek could be a good addition

5.  earn more TPE and prepare for depreciation

6. randomness n other stuff idk

[Ledge 1,131]

RIGA REIGN PRESS CONFERENCE

Week ending 07/04

 

1. Does it hurt a little more after watching Malmo do well in the playoffs?

2. Who on the Reign do you think would grow the longest playoff beard?

3. Is there anyone in particular you think management should be watching for the upcoming draft?

4. What is your favourite potential VHLE franchise?

5. For those of you watching the Euro2020, who's your pick to win the championship?

6. If you were suddenly arrested for no reason and your face was flashed all over the news, what would your friends and family assume that you did? 

(I got #6 from a site, I thought it was pretty funny)

 

[Bojovnik 487]

1. Pretty much. We were the form team at the end of the season, so we really could've done some damage in the playoffs. That Deathwalker guy doesn't deserve to be in the playoffs.

 

2. Easily Carter. 

 

3. Any and all goalies. Maybe get three of them and play them all at the same time.

 

4. I know nothing about the old teams but for the hype, Vasteras

 

5. ITS COMING HOME.

 

6. Illegal border crossing.

1 a lot, really a lot 

2 Linus, so he will have a beard like a viking

3 not really, i didn't look a the new rookies 

4 Rome, a beautiful city that will have a beautiful team

5 to be honest I like all the 4 teams.

6 probably ended up in a fight with someone.

[Eynhallow 412]

1. Does it hurt a little more after watching Malmo do well in the playoffs?

 

No it doesn't hurt just a little....it hurts a lot !!!  There are still tear stains at my spot in the locker room.  OH...and ya....I am also royally pissed off.

 

2. Who on the Reign do you think would grow the longest playoff beard?

 

Gotta be Matt Thunder @Matt thunder.  I envision him with a Joe Thornton type beard.

 

3. Is there anyone in particular you think management should be watching for the upcoming draft?

 

No one in particular.  It seems to me that we should be developing a goalie for the future though....

 

4. What is your favourite potential VHLE franchise?

 

Berlin.  Central Europe and historically significant.

 

5. For those of you watching the Euro2020, who's your pick to win the championship?

 

Italy or England.  Tough call.

 

6. If you were suddenly arrested for no reason and your face was flashed all over the news, what would your friends and family assume that you did? 

 

Muahahaha.  They would think that I was just being my obnoxious self.

1. it confuses me more than it hurts me, but im still hurt.

RIGA REIGN PRESS CONFERENCE

Week ending 07/11

 

1. We are 2-1 after the first day of the lotto tournament. Are you following it, or is it just completely unimportant?

2. The World Juniors and World Cup are right around the corner. Are you involved, or just rooting for your team from the sidelines?

3. Did you expect Warsaw to dethrone Seattle as Continental Cup champs?

4. If you had to go one place as an offseason vacation with friends or family, where would you go?

5. What is your favourite late-night snack?

6. What small sport or game would you like to see make headlines on sports channels and magazines?

 

Huge shoutout to @Eynhallow for calling the bloody Euro Cup finals!!

(for reference scroll up two posts)

 

 

[Bojovnik 487]

1. I guess it would be good to win it, right?

2. I'll just be rooting for Europe from the sidelines. The junior squad looks good, but they have a lot to live up to this year!

3. I didn't think they'd do it. Fair play to them.

4. I think Croatia.

5. Salt and vinegar chips.

6. I think floorball needs more love.

2 luckly I am involved 

3 To be honest, yes.

4 I would go to Denmark, always loved that country.

5 everything that you can eat but I have to choose I would go with  nutella, you just open it and eat it with a spoon untill you feel guilty :).

6 Roller hockey, I play it and no one cares about it

2. I'm just rooting from the sidelines

3. Not ever! Congrats @Hooperorama

4. Hawaii for sure

5.peanut butter sandwich

6. Ping pong

[Eynhallow 412]

Thanks for the shout out @Ledge and Dairy and for the pressers.

 

 

1. We are 2-1 after the first day of the lotto tournament. Are you following it, or is it just completely unimportant?

 

I would likely pat a bit of attention to it, but I am only near a computer for a few hours a week, so other stuff, like paying bills, take precedence.

 

2. The World Juniors and World Cup are right around the corner. Are you involved, or just rooting for your team from the sidelines?

 

I have not been invited to participate, so once again, I will observe.

 

3. Did you expect Warsaw to dethrone Seattle as Continental Cup champs?

 

Given SHTS and our experience with it, nothing can be expected (other than the unexpected).

 

4. If you had to go one place as an offseason vacation with friends or family, where would you go?

 

I would likely go on a fly-in fishing trip into northwestern Ontario.  Some nice resorts and huge fish.

 

5. What is your favourite late-night snack?

 

Cheese and peanut butter sandwiches.

 

6. What small sport or game would you like to see make headlines on sports channels and magazines?

 

I would like to see lacrosse get more coverage.

RIGA REIGN PRESS CONFERENCE

Week ending 07/18

 

1. A couple days before the draft, we have acquired a starting goalie in Zamboni Driver and Jared Carter has moved to forward. Do you think we have a playoff team?

2. Who was your first ever mentor in the VHL? Perhaps your first VHLM GM or AGM?

3. If you had to change one VHL or VHLM logo, which one would you change?

4. DC or Marvel (or neither) and why?

5. What is your dream car?

6. What is your least favourite social media platform?

[Bojovnik 487]

1. Most definitely. The S75 guys are entering their prime so I think we're good to go.

2. Has to be Doomsday. Helped me out so much!

3. I'm a terrible graphic artist so wouldn't want to criticize anyone.

4. Neither. I like that real-life drama.

5. I just want my old Skoda back

I certainly hope so - I think with the progression of the S75's and a bit of luck we should be a solid team next year.

2. Who was your first ever mentor in the VHL? Perhaps your first VHLM GM or AGM?

I started in S1, but when I came back I guess Quik sorted me out a bit. Advantage helped a lot in Mexico City.

3. If you had to change one VHL or VHLM logo, which one would you change?

VHLM for sure, looks too much like a CHL logo. 

4. DC or Marvel (or neither) and why?

Marvel because I hate Zack Snyder

5. What is your dream car?

AUDI R8

6. What is your least favourite social media platform?

Instagrammmm

1 Zamboni  is for sure a great player, and I have good feeling about carter as a C, so yeah, for me this year can be great.

2 My first mentor was Spartan, the GM of Las Vegas, and unamed, the GM of Riga.

3 the VHLM just a copy of the vhl logo with an M.

4 Marvel, since I was a kid i loved spiderman.

5 I love this question, I love cars, my dream car is the Alpine A110. Just beautiful.

6 Snapchat, never understood how it works.

[jRuutu 2,464]

1. A couple days before the draft, we have acquired a starting goalie in Zamboni Driver and Jared Carter has moved to forward. Do you think we have a playoff team?

Oh yea. Right now the team looks really solid, would not surprise me if Riga makes it all the way to the finals and wins the whole thing!

 

2. Who was your first ever mentor in the VHL? Perhaps your first VHLM GM or AGM?

I can't remember for sure, but I do remember that Advantage was the GM of New York back then. After him Tagger took over the GM role in New York, I think. Both helped me to get familiar with everything in VHL.

 

3. If you had to change one VHL or VHLM logo, which one would you change?

Minnesota Storm. I think the person should be angry and fierce to match the ''Storm''. Right now the look suggests mild annoyance.

 

4. DC or Marvel (or neither) and why?

Neither. I have never been a huge fan of superheroes.

 

5. What is your dream car?

I don't have one. Cars - another thing I have not been super passionate about. 

 

6. What is your least favourite social media platform?

They are all bad. TikTok was mentioned earlier, I'll throw that one out as well.

[Eynhallow 412]

1. A couple days before the draft, we have acquired a starting goalie in Zamboni Driver and Jared Carter has moved to forward. Do you think we have a playoff team?

 

Well, we definitely needed a goalie nd it was great to see Driver join us.  It think with the moves that have been made and the continued growth of our core we should make the playoffs.  However, what with how the sim engine loves us so much, nothing can be taken for granted.

 

2. Who was your first ever mentor in the VHL? Perhaps your first VHLM GM or AGM?

 

Likely hylands @hylands of the Mexicio City Kings and Dmaximus @DMaximus  of the Philadelphia Reapers.

 

3. If you had to change one VHL or VHLM logo, which one would you change?

 

I would like to see the logo for Davos modernized a bit.

 

4. DC or Marvel (or neither) and why?

 

I am not really a fan of either universe.

 

5. What is your dream car?

 

2020 Shelby GT500   

 

6. What is your least favourite social media platform?

 

I conscientiously stay away from social media.  Too many pitfalls.

[Tape-to-Tape 298]

1- Yes we are a playoff team and I plan to help Riga go as far as we can

2- my first mentor was my good friend Jubo. He made Helsinki home.

3- Minnesota Storm logo doesnt make much sense

4- Marvel. They make the better movies and series.

5- ferrari 812 superfast

6- not much of a social media person. Facebook is garbage.
