1) Not this season, we are a young and rebuilding team who mostly likely will miss the playoffs. Embrace it and hope we can turn it around next season.

2) Malone hasn't been playing like absolute garbage so I guess that is a plus.

3) Probably Calgary because of my ties as a GM

4) In real life I like wingers who know how to balance the line between playing good defensive zone coverage and springing themselves for odd man rush outlet passes.

5) Probably Bon Jovi

6) Get up and stretch while shouting as loud as possible

Turns around when Bob Tristan hits 400 tpe and over 300 pim

Palloon is a major factor for us having such close game recently

I would say LA

Playmaking ability and being able to get the puck places

I think hatter for his great lyrics

Stay hyped really

 

[Spartan 4,004]

I will be taking notes on who y'all think my favorite band/singer is and factor that in when determining bonuses at the end of the season

[mediocrepony 1,216]

1. How is your player doing compared to your expectations?

2. Who do you think is having the best season on the Menace?

3. When you recreate, what do you think you are going to name your player?

4. What VHLM team would you want to be drafted to?

5. What is your player points goal and team points goal for this season?

6. How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

 

edit: i didnt know someone already posted for this week. use this next week

1. I don't think this is our season but I can see us making a small improvement.

2. The active LR is fun when we're taking all these Ls.

3. Toronto or New York.

4. Passing and scoring.

5. Maybe ancient battle music that spartans listen to.

6. Run away from the existential dread that a losing season gives me.

1. It may take a couple seasons but we have a great group of young players and we'll all hit our prime together which is when the dynasty will begin.

2. Even though we're second to last in the division we're 4th to last in scoring so if we improve our defense we'll be much better.

3. Seattle Bears because of their awesome color scheme until there's a Pittsburgh team.

4. On the Ice is passing, Off the Ice is a willingness to put the team first.

5. I have no clue. Maybe something metal judging from his pfp.

6. I tape my sticks 45 minutes before the game and after that no one can touch them besides me unless they're wearing gloves.

2. Stein, maybe. He's having a good season.

3. Probably some meme name.

4. Somewhere I haven't been before.

5. 90 points for myself, enough so we win all the games for the team.

1.  Better than I thought considering I'm a rookie.  I'm averaging over half a point per game.

2. Fat Palloon for sure. He leads the team in Assists which as we all know is the most important stat.

3. Philip Stein Jr. I'm going to make a dynasty of Philip Steins.

4. Halifax as I only had 1 season with them last time and I'd like to be on the team for 2 seasons.

5. My Individual goal is 57 points. My Team goal is 72 points.

6. A woodchuck would chuck all the wood that a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood.

He's doing amazing and playing how I expect him to.

I would say Bob Tristan but his D partner Palloon is pretty good too.

Mr. Worldwide, Pines Destroyer, or Papaya Man.

I would like to go back to philly I had a good time there, but I should try some other places, would rather not go to vegas though.

Mainly to just hit the top of the PIM standings.

[eaglesfan036 4,585]

Questions:

 

1) Would you ever actually visit Moscow in real life?

2) What Moscow teammate could give the best standup comedy?

3) What player or member not currently on Moscow would you want to join the team?

4) What is your favorite color scheme for uniforms / jerseys?

5) How tall do you think Spartan is?

6) Do you have a message for former GM Victor? 

[N0HBDY 1,013]

Alright first time doing this and hopefully not the last!

 

1. How do you fell with the Menace’s recent performance?
2. What do you think the attitude of the Menace fanbase is like?
3. There’s lots of third party activities the VHL hosts such as Town of Salem and an annual Chess tournament, have you ever been apart of events such as those?
4. Have you been keeping up with any major sports event recently?
5. The LR is an amazing place, what channel is your favorite to be in.
6. Last question, but not really a question, say something to roast Spartan.

1. So if you had asked me this a week ago, I'd have said yes. But then I got a chance to speak with @BrutalBoost and he said it wasn't the best of times, so maybe I'll scratch it off my bucket list.

2. I'd think either @N0HBDY or @IHateBobNutting could do a pretty good job, they seem like they have the potential to be some pretty funny guys.

3. @Caboose30 of course, we have a desperate need for door opener  

4. I think our current scheme of black and gold is my favorite. It matches the color scheme of the Steelers and Penguins as well!

5. I suppose I have to pass on this question.

6. @Victor bum.

1. I think we've been on a nice pace, getting to truly see what our rookies and young players can do. It's definitely exciting to see the potential we have!

2. I don't think they speak any english and they realize we don't understand them. So they just yell "MOSCOW MOSCOW MOSCOW" and that's basically good enough for us.

3. I'm usually active in the Town of Salem games, as we're a ToS forum featuring simulation hockey. I think it's a fun game to play and folks are always helpful, so highly recommend joining it sometime!

4. Just hockey really, and the Penguins. A couple trades were reported to have happened yesterday, so interested to see if they get confirmed and how the folks can play. Jeff Carter is a very interesting acquisition.

5. I think гулаг is definitely the best channel, and for secrecy reasons, will not be going into detail. However, the comrades channel is also really nice since it's the public channel of the server and you get to meet and chat with a lot of people.

6. uhhhhhh......your hair looks like a teenage girl's from 2011?

1. It has gone really well so far. We're doing better than I thought we would.

2. Considering the stereotypes of Russia probably a hardcore fan base that demands success.

3.I've been in the Annual Chess Tournament. No clue what the other one is.

4. I've been following the NHL season and March Madness although it's over now.

5. Comrades for now but I'm hoping they add a gaming channel.

6. He's secretly a Senators fan. Just look at his pfp.

[OrbitingDeath 2,939]

1. How do you fell with the Menace’s recent performance? It's better as I hoped for as a team, but I'm always a critic of my own players, so Idaho should have done better
2. What do you think the attitude of the Menace fanbase is like? As long as there is vodka, its always a good time at the arena!
3. There’s lots of third party activities the VHL hosts such as Town of Salem and an annual Chess tournament, have you ever been apart of events such as those? Yes, i have done town of salem, but i could not cope with the lying personally. I do not have it in me to play games like that.
4. Have you been keeping up with any major sports event recently? Soccer
5. The LR is an amazing place, what channel is your favorite to be in. I like the one where we gossip about Hatter all the time
6. Last question, but not really a question, say something to roast Spartan.  This will only get me fired. Lets not do that
