3. Definitely mountains are my favourite spot to go while on vacation.

4. It’s not really due to the corona virus, but rather some health issues that have popped up that have led me to be less active.

6. Yes. I played minor hockey for about 10 years and spent most of it as a goaltender.

More press conference questions!

(For the week starting 06/27)

 

1. We came out on top in the first round in 6 games against Helsinki. Did you expect that or not and why?

2. All but two games in the Helsinki were decided by one goal, with four finishing with a 3-2 score. Was this series as tight as it looks on paper?

3. In round 2, we were not so lucky, getting swept by Riga. Was this series closer than it seemed or not and why?

4. How satisfied are you with the team performance this season?

5. How satisfied are you with your individual performance this season?

6. With our season officially over, what do you plan to train on in the offseason?

[VinCal 112]

1. I did. We are well coached and were ready for Helsinki.

2.It was. Both teams gave it all.

3.They were the better team but it was a learning experience. We’ll be better from this.

4. I like to win, but overall I liked how we clicked at the end of the season. This was a rebuilding year and we made the 2nd round. That says a lot.

5.Lot of growing pains. I’m used to being on the scoresheet every night. Hopefully next year is better.

6.I’m gonna discuss it with Victor and go from there.

1. I wasn't surprised, we played decent against them all year.

2. It was close to being as tight as on paper. I think lots of us were expecting 7 games as well.

3. I think it was, but not by much haha, we might have been slightly unlucky to not snag a game, but oh well.

4. I would have liked to see myself with more blocked shots, but I think I did well as a 2 way center.

5. I was very satisfied, I broke my season and playoff records for points.

6. I plan to work on anything thats been decreased. and then get as many stats to 90 as possible for next season.

1. Im not too sure who that favours, but I got Calgary winning it.

3.  Sigard Gunnar. Guys a scoring machine.

4. I honestly dont know. I think whoever gets off to the best start will have an edge over the others.

5. I like the Los Angelos Stars the most I think.

6. Im hoping we can keep on working hard and improve next season

Riga, they're a tough team.

Jet Jaguar, my old teammate.

Sigrad Gunnar seems like a good choice.

4. Which one of the expansion teams do you expect to have the most successful inaugural season?

I'll say LA, but I really have no idea.

5. If you were to be left unprotected in the expansion draft, which one of the expansion teams would you rather have to pick you?

LA. But I'd likely retire if I'm picked up in expansion, I want to finish my last season in Moscow.

6. With another season almost in the books, how do you expect the Menace to finish next season?

About the same as next season, maybe a bit higher.

1. Well as I am answering this question late, it looks like Riga had the upper hand.

2. Condor Adrienne is my vote, 100 points from a D man is filthy. 

3. It's gotta be Sigard Gunnar for me.

4. I am hoping it is London, but I think they all have a pretty equal shot at this point in time.

5. London would be sweet. 

6. Depends on a lot of factors, I think the focus is we are still building up. That may mean losing an older player or two to the expansion draft.
