1. The new attributes are live! Was it fun for you to come up with a new build?

2. How sad were you seeing Mason Jones and Obi Adesanya getting traded out?

3. But we have @Telkster now! Rate your hype level.

4. So....what do you think, is @Lemorse7 a double agent for Malmo or vice versa?

5. Sleepy hedge turned into the sleep deprieved zombie. what's wrong with him?

6. VHL World Cup hype! who is winning the tournament and why it's East Europe?

1. Not really, I wish there was a way to +5 or +10 instead of just +1.

2. I'm fine with it, I think it helped the team out.

3. 7/10.

4. Lemorse could be you, he could be me, he could even be Beketov.

5. VHL addiction is my best guess.

6. Sad USA noises. We were so close, but lost it in the end.

1. The Skywalker Saga just came out and it's gotten me through it.

2. I did stay on track, going for a two way playmaking winger with some grit.

3. Playoffs or bust baby.

4. I do and yeah I do, after a 4th place finish two seasons ago, I won my league this year. Hyped to draft this year.

5. I hate to say it but it's Matthews's to lose.

6. Not this summer but in about a month I'm going to an island.

1. Passing the time with real life stuff. Plus yahoo fantasy hockey is lots of fun this time of year!

2. Yeah I tried to stay on track. I wasn’t sure how the meta would affect things, so my player is well rounded in all the categories I care about most.

3. To get into the playoffs and fight hard from there, it’s hard to know what to expect with this new kind of season!

4. I do, and yes I don’t mind it at all.

5. Matthews. Not coming from a leafs fan, and despite that would not be shocked if they go out again 1st or 2nd round.

6. I’m planning on getting out camping a few times!

1. If you had to change the colour of the ice in hockey, what would it be to?

- Probably light blue like the old video games. Some rinks in small towns back in the day had it (light blue concrete), would be pretty cool for a classic  look.

2. Who’s your team going into the Stanley cup playoffs?

- Sadly, the Leafs.

3. What’s your favourite sport besides hockey?

- Hard to say, usually like to ride the wave on which Toronto team is on a run, but basketball gets an edge.

4. Does Vegas somehow make it into the playoffs?

- I think LA ends up falling out so yes.

5. Who scored the first goal tomorrow to kick off Riga’s season?

-Hopefully elite build Miklavz

6. Your top 3 pizza toppings?

- Banana peppers, pineapple and bacon

 

[hedgehog337 3,483]

1. If you had to change the colour of the ice in hockey, what would it be to?

 

idk, no colors make sense maybe outside of blue

 

2. Who’s your team going into the Stanley cup playoffs?

 

I don't particullary care but go pens cause let Bļugers shine

 

3. What’s your favourite sport besides hockey?

 

football or soccer or w/e you wanna pronounce that

 

4. Does Vegas somehow make it into the playoffs?

 

idk the gap isn't big so it's def possible

 

5. Who scored the first goal tomorrow to kick off Riga’s season?

 

that pre season doesnt matter but apparently Telker was indeed the first goal scorer in our pre season

 

6. Your top 3 pizza toppings?

 

gimme whatever outside of sweet shit like pineapple

[Telkster 550]

Here’s more questions! You can use it tonight or for next week instead. Feel free to use the old one tonight if you have time!

 

1. We are off to a really great start. Who’s been the mvp of the team so far?

2. Tobias Reinhart is the early league leader in shutouts. How many will he have by the end of the season?

3. What team scares you the most in the league based on these early games?

4. Best fast food burger. Has to be a chain restaurant, but I’ll except small ones too even if they only have a few stores!

5. What series are you looking forward to the most in round 1 of the NHL playoffs?

6. Who’s your favourite junior team? It can be anywhere in the world. Mines the Lethbridge Hurricanes!

1. Sandstorm, Johnston, Telker, and Miklavz have all been spectacular.

2. More than everyone else .

3. Moscow is definitely the most dangerous, though we did hand then their only loss, so that's really good.

4. Five Guys without a doubt is the best fast food burger I've had.

5. Whichever one the Bruins are in.

6. Vancouver Giants, with my boy Fabian Lysell! I think that's a junior team.

1. We are off to a really great start. Who’s been the mvp of the team so far?

Definitely Reinhart - he's locked it down for every game that aloud us to score. 

2. Tobias Reinhart is the early league leader in shutouts. How many will he have by the end of the season?

Around 20.

3. What team scares you the most in the league based on these early games?

That every other team might get relegated because Riga scores so much. 

4. Best fast food burger. Has to be a chain restaurant, but I’ll except small ones too even if they only have a few stores!

After I've tried almost every fast food restaurant here in America - my conclusion is Five Guys. It's like the perfect mix of a restaurant & fast food burger. 

5. What series are you looking forward to the most in round 1 of the NHL playoffs?

Boston vs Carolina should be a pretty fun series, I am very nervous for Leafs/Tampa

6. Who’s your favourite junior team? It can be anywhere in the world. Mines the Lethbridge Hurricanes!

It's usually whoever has Leafs prospects - but the London Knights have kind of been a team I normally cheered for. 

 

 

[a_Ferk 764]

1. We are off to a really great start. Who’s been the mvp of the team so far? I'd say Reinhart. He's the reason we've won a lot of games.

2. Tobias Reinhart is the early league leader in shutouts. How many will he have by the end of the season? I'm going to say 11, seems like a good number. I think he'll slow down, this pace isn't sustainable.

3. What team scares you the most in the league based on these early games? Seattle is right there with us, I'd say they scare me the most.

4. Best fast food burger. Has to be a chain restaurant, but I’ll except small ones too even if they only have a few stores! Five Guys burgers are amazing, if a little bit more expensive than most fast food chains. It's better food so it is worth it.

5. What series are you looking forward to the most in round 1 of the NHL playoffs? Tampa and Toronto. Win or lose it will be fun to see Leafs fans' reactions after the series. Also Edmonton because I'm a fan, obviously.

6. Who’s your favourite junior team? It can be anywhere in the world. Mines the Lethbridge Hurricanes! I'm a big Swift Current Broncos enjoyer, been to maybe 30 or 40 games in my life and it's a pretty far drive for me.

[Telkster 550]

Here’s another presser gentlemen! 
 

1. What’s your favourite hour of the day?

2. What’s your dream car?

3. Do you camp? If so what has been your favourite spot?

4. Johnston is keeping goal per game pace, can he get 50 in 50?!

5. Favourite childhood hockey player/players?

6. Favourite fictional movie?

5. Favourite childhood hockey player/players?

6. Favourite fictional movie?
 

1.  I really like 4pm. It's starting to get cooler, still some sun, very nice out. Doesn't feel too late and still feels like there is lots of time left in the day.

2. I really like Ferraris, just because of hot wheels as a kid.

3. I've camped before, I think spots where the ground isn't covered in sticks and rocks that hurt your back are good.

4. 100% no doubt in my mind he gets it.

5. Zdeno Chara hands down, loved all the players on the 2011 Stanley Cup winning team though, that's the team that got me into hockey.

6. Inception is so good, love The Batman, Spiderman No Way Home was very good as well. The Empire Strikes Back is a classic and Spaceballs is hilarious. Can't choose one from those.

[ke1vi 662]

1. What’s your favourite hour of the day?

Happy Hour

2. What’s your dream car?

When I was young I used to play Need for Speed on my PC and I would always drive a neon green McLaren F1 GTR... so I guess that. The AUDI R8 is pretty cool too.

3. Do you camp? If so what has been your favourite spot?

I don't camp at all - I have a cabin back home where my family is so that's normally the extent of my camping.

4. Johnston is keeping goal per game pace, can he get 50 in 50?!

Absolutely - the whole team is on fire right now.

5. Favourite childhood hockey player/players?

I really loved Alex Mogilny when he was a Leaf - his couple years in Toronto were my prime "pretend to be a player" street hockey years and I would always chose him. 

6. Favourite fictional movie?

Nothing beats the LOTR series - out of the three, Two Towers is my favorite.

1. Not this year, really wanted to but had some big things for Mother's Day weekend. Big ups to all the Riga players in it this year.

2. New car, I had been driving a dusty Toyota that I lugged around to Houston and Philly, to get that paycheck before I got to Bratislava was awesome and I got myself a nice new Dodge Charger that I still have today.

3. The Board Game Clue On Skates is having a great rookie year, so I'll say them.

4. 2-2 baby! The Bruins had a strong 2 games to tie it up. The real test is game 5 back in Carolina. They are going to have to have a strong game to beat Carolina at home.

5. No clue, if not to Boston then please not to the Atlantic haha, that's all I want.

6. The Batman was a masterpiece on all pages. Absolutely loved it.

[Telkster 550]

4. Us Reign have been fighting hard in what looks like a close 3 way race for 1st in the league, are you happy with our regular season so far?

6. Favourite kind of croissant? Mine is a cheese one!

1. Rangers and Penguins, I had the Penguins winning after they went up and kinda just ignored the Rangers' comeback.

2. Yeah... Really upsetting for the Bruins. If Bergeron doesn't come back then next season is a bust, so I just gotta hold out hope.

3. I would have said 3. A lot of the series were a lot closer than I expected. (Flames vs Stars as an example)

4. Oh definitely, the team is really meshing right now and it's really going well.

5. A bat flew in the window of the attic me and some friends were having a sleepover in. And while we were trying to get the bat out we found that his dog had pooped on the floor.

6. Just a normal croissant is all I need.

[hedgehog337 3,483]

1. Which nhl series has surprised you the most?

 

Nashville flopped and Dallas fought harder than I thought.

 

2. Did your team get knocked out, move on, or wasn’t even in the playoffs for the nhl?

 

The team didn't even make the playoffs...welp.

 

3. What would have been your guess for game 7s this year in the first round? Mine would’ve been about 3-4.

 

Probably in same range. Some series had game 7 written on it.

 

4. Us Reign have been fighting hard in what looks like a close 3 way race for 1st in the league, are you happy with our regular season so far?

 

Fine. Gotta take less annoying losses and we're gucci.

 

5. What’s the funniest thing that’s happened to you in the last few weeks?

 

being sick for the 4th time since last October...honestly it's funny at this point.

 

6. Favourite kind of croissant? Mine is a cheese one!

 

choco would be cool
