Moscow Menace Press Conference

[Patpou22 63]

1. Moscow is off to a decent start. Who on the team has really stepped it up this season?

 

Everyone has done their part in the offseason to improve on the areas we needed to improve, overall, everyone has a part in this good improvement from last season to this season.

 

2. Who are our biggest competition in Europe this season and why?

 

Helsinki of course, they have a really good lineup.

 

3. If you could be the head coach for a sim, would you make any changes to our lines/lineup?

 

I totally trust Victor on sim lineup, he knows a ton more than me.

 

5. What team do you think is going to be the #1 NA seed and why?

 

Seattle will definitely be a big team this season, they have a really strong core and they have a good start this season.

 

8. Did you know patpou22 does photography as a hobby? What kind of hobbies are you into, off of the ice?

 

I like to take some pictures in my free time indeed, but I like to play some CHEL too, having a few games with some friends is always fun.

 

9. Have you made any player store purchases this season? Are you saving up for any particular purchase?

 

I didn't buy anything yet, I'm saving that for my old days.

 

10. Please vote for gorlab in the S67/S68 VHLGFX competition. #PublicRigging 

 

Will certainly do Darlin'!

[Kyle 667]

1. Moscow is off to a decent start. Who on the team has really stepped it up this season?

I think the whole team has improved their game.

 

2. Who are our biggest competition in Europe this season and why?

Riga seems to have our number

 

3. If you could be the head coach for a sim, would you make any changes to our lines/lineup?

No I let Victor handle that side of things.

 

5. What team do you think is going to be the #1 NA seed and why?

Vancouver, they're the champions last year and haven't really slowed down.

 

7. Did you have any Moscow teammates in your VHFL fantasy group?

I didn't partake.

 

8. Did you know patpou22 does photography as a hobby? What kind of hobbies are you into, off of the ice?

I DJ electronic music.

 

9. Have you made any player store purchases this season? Are you saving up for any particular purchase?

I'm just saving for the time being.

 

[gorlab 4,321]

1. Moscow is off to a decent start. Who on the team has really stepped it up this season?

May has been playing good, but I like how Baillie has performed in some clutch moments this season, so I will go with him.

 

2. Who are our biggest competition in Europe this season and why?

Has to be Riga IMO. Seems like they've been getting the better of us in the last few games, Kriketers is on that loud for sure. 

 

3. If you could be the head coach for a sim, would you make any changes to our lines/lineup?

Demote Jet Jaguar to the third line and make Mark Gebauer great again.

 

4. Who is easier to score on in practice, May or Bernard, and what is your go-to move to score on them?  //  For May/Bernard, who is the easiest to stop in practice?

May for me. Bernard is new enough that I still don't know his tendancies, but Owen May has been download complete'd.

 

5. What team do you think is going to be the #1 NA seed and why?

Vancouver Wolves because they have Codrick Past on D. Seattle apparently been going off though, so maybe Seattle.

 

6. S68 VHFL has started. Where in the fantasy draft did you pick? (1st, 2nd, 3rd, overall, etc?)  Who was your first round pick and did you have any general strategy?

I believe I drafted 2nd overall. I took Matt Thompson after somebody picked Podrick Cast first overall. I thought it was a steal. I tried to target hitting wingers tbh.

 

[wcats 237]

1. Moscow is off to a decent start. Who on the team has really stepped it up this season?

 

I think we all have done a good job stepping up and doing our parts!

 

2. Who are our biggest competition in Europe this season and why?

Probably Helsinki or Riga. Riga really seems to have our number this year.

 

3. If you could be the head coach for a sim, would you make any changes to our lines/lineup?

 

Not sure, I think we have excellent coaching it's just a matter of things coming together.

 

4. Who is easier to score on in practice, May or Bernard, and what is your go-to move to score on them?  //  For May/Bernard, who is the easiest to stop in practice? 

 

I don't get too fancy but I have a great ability in freezing goalies. 

 

 

5. What team do you think is going to be the #1 NA seed and why? 

 

Vancouver looks like they have a potential chance to repeat a championship appearance but it's still early.  Seattle is right there with them in the standings. But to be honest NA is pretty weak.

 

6. S68 VHFL has started. Where in the fantasy draft did you pick? (1st, 2nd, 3rd, overall, etc?)  Who was your first round pick and did you have any general strategy? 

 

I picked third. My first round pick was rauno palo I think for obvious reasons haha.

 

7. Did you have any Moscow teammates in your VHFL fantasy group?

 

I did actually! I drafted randoms those power play points baby!

6. Do you have any suggested prospects for Moscow to target in the upcoming S69 VHL Entry draft?

1. There was a streak where Bernard was going off. That was exciting to see.

 

2. Well since Europe is obviously much stronger than North America, I'm not rooting for Malmo so let's go with Riga to keep the ship in Europe.

 

3. I suppose I should start building towards depreciation combat. So probably speed and scoring

 

4.  Definitely somewhere in Europe. Being from Southern Ontario I get enough heat. I want cool climates.

 

5. I got to honour my teammate and line mate. He is like a brother. You gotta support that. Wife we be mad but she'll get over it.

 

6. Any of the guys in the top 10 look like locks for star power.

6. Do you have any suggested prospects for Moscow to target in the upcoming S69 VHL Entry draft?

1. Probably that win streak of hope at the end when Bernard went on a mad one and we somehow almost did it.

 

2. I think all the teams I like are out now. Of the 3 remaining, Riga is my fave but I should probably withdraw support before it's too late.

 

3. Just gonna keep chugging along to hopefully break out as one of the league's top defencemen.

 

4. Uhhhhh..... probably not qualified to answer this one but I would recommend you take me as a tour guide to NZ.

 

5. Cast is one of the finest players in VHL history, can always find a new mother in law.

 

6. I prefer not to speak, if I speak I am in big trouble.

[Kyle 667]

1. Disappointing end of the season for Moscow but the team's future is looking bright. What were your highlights for this season?

I think the way we grew as a young team and still have the opportunity to succeed together.

 

2. Which VHL team will you be supporting in the playoffs for S68 since Moscow is on early summer?

I won't be

 

3. Do you have any big plans for the off-season tpe influx? Any stats you are focusing on?

Just looking to bounce back from the personal issues I had in the season.

 

4. If you could have Victor be your tour guide for any country in the world, what country would it be?

New Zealand 

 

5. Podrick Cast is retiring. A tribute game is being held in honour of him in the UK but it happens to be on the same day as your mother-in-law's birthday, which your wife planned a big family trip somewhere to celebrate. What do you do?

I'd die for Victor

 

6. Do you have any suggested prospects for Moscow to target in the upcoming S69 VHL Entry draft?

I let the GMs handle that kind of business.

[Matmenzinger 167]

 

1. Disappointing end of the season for Moscow but the team's future is looking bright. What were your highlights for this season? It may sound a bit selfish but moving up to the first line, and getting to play with Cast felt like a huge step in my career. 

 

2. Which VHL team will you be supporting in the playoffs for S68 since Moscow is on early summer? Let's just say I probably would have cried if Malmo took it all.

 

3. Do you have any big plans for the off-season tpe influx? Any stats you are focusing on? I plan to work on my passing and my physical game a bit. We have a ton of scoring threats already.

 

4. If you could have Victor be your tour guide for any country in the world, what country would it be? Honestly any country, I've only been out of the states once. 

 

5.  Podrick Cast is retiring. A tribute game is being held in honour of him in the UK but it happens to be on the same day as your mother-in-law's birthday, which your wife planned a big family trip somewhere to celebrate. What do you do? What mother-in-law?

 

6. Do you have any suggested prospects for Moscow to target in the upcoming S69 VHL Entry draft? Actually I've been so focused on our games that I haven't had much of a chance to watch any prospects play.

No, I've never had a SBA player, so it doesn't affect me at all.

2. What are your thoughts on the controversy which resulted in the VHL and SBA parting ways?  (summary: VHLer said 'that's gay' about a sim result and the SBA BoD lost their mind because using that word is offensive to some people)

Meh, don't really have an opinion about it, guess it is a bit harsh, but on the other hand, you can't accept those comments in a community.

Habs, of course, they are not bad for now, hope KK's injury will not be a long one and that Poehling will have a huge impact.

[Kyle 667]

 1. If you had the opportunity to change positions from/to F,D or G, Would you?

No I'm happy with where I am. Unless the team would need me to change, but I don't think that's the case.

Putin the King

We'll get them back next year.

 

5. For those who have just been reading the box score, Moscow has taken a lot of penalties this season. What are some penalties you've seen the team taking and what do you like to do in the penalty box?

I've taken a lot of preventable penalties and I have to be better.

 

6. Why do you think Moscow is such a bi polar team, leading in both goals for and against?

I think young teams go through a lot of up and downs. I think that was the case for us this year.

 

7. Does Owen May suck?

No I think we need to play better in front of him this season.

[Matmenzinger 167]

1. The VHL and SBA are currently no longer affiliates. Does this affect you at all? Nope the only other league I'm in is the EFL. 

 

2. What are your thoughts on the controversy which resulted in the VHL and SBA parting ways?  (summary: VHLer said 'that's gay' about a sim result and the SBA BoD lost their mind because using that word is offensive to some people) Words are nothing more than that. They don't have a negative connotation unless you allow them to. 

 

3. Have you been following the NHL this season? What team do you support and how are they doing? Absolutely, I'm a fan of a few teams but my favorite is Arizona and the Yotes are having a great start for once. Let's just hope they keep it up.

1. Not anymore since Bek allowed me to claim SBA stuff as welfare here.

2. Yea I agree with the SBA BOD on that one, that term is derogatory and I am glad the VHL has made guidelines concerning this problem.

3. Not at all haha.

4. Just practicing pretty much, deciding with Victor if I should stay in VHLM one more season or make my way to the big leagues.

5. I have no idea to be honest.

6. Nah not really, I don't care.

1. The VHL and SBA are currently no longer affiliates. Does this affect you at all?

Yes, it's very annoying. I was (finally) actually active in the SBA and was just starting my rookie season. Without the affiliation, I'm done there though, as 90% of my PTs are VHL related.

SBA wasn't necessarily wrong big picture with their problem with the VHL, but cutting the affiliation in the way that they did was harsh and an overreaction.

3. Have you been following the NHL this season? What team do you support and how are they doing?

Flyers - good! I can actually watch them and not fall asleep or get distracted on my laptop since they actually have an NHL coach now.

4. Off-season is in full swing. What have you been doing to unwind and relax before the season?

Once I'm out of the playoffs, I don't look at any of the game threads until the Continental Cup. I try to take a short break just to unwind from the league for a little bit.

1. No it does not. I actually have no idea what SBA is. Never bothered looking ii into it.

 

2. I mean I think having some code of conduct rules about this stuff is good. If we are to conduct ourselves like professionals like in the NHL then it's needed. It may have been a bit of overkill but still.

 

3. I watch basically every leaf game that I can. Good or bad they're my ride or die, have been my whole life.

 

4. Been working in the gym to counteract at least some of the depreciation. But that was  a pretty big hit. 

 

5. Riga seemed to have our number recently. So I'll go with them until I have a reason not to. Because screw Malmo.

 

6. I think it's a great call. He's clearly will liked league wide and any dealings I've had with him have been pleasant. He deserves it.

[Patpou22 63]

1. Disappointing end of the season for Moscow but the team's future is looking bright. What were your highlights for this season?

The whole season has been a highlight for me, I improved on all of my skills, put up some good points and had a good defensive season.

 

2. Which VHL team will you be supporting in the playoffs for S68 since Moscow is on early summer?

I stayed loyal to Moscow and didn't watch the playoffs (mostly due to me getting back on school benches)

 

3. Do you have any big plans for the off-season tpe influx? Any stats you are focusing on?

I focused a lot on the defensive side of my play and also looking for a few skating and puck handling upgrades.

 

4. If you could have Victor be your tour guide for any country in the world, what country would it be?

Russia. No doubts.

 

5. Podrick Cast is retiring. A tribute game is being held in honour of him in the UK but it happens to be on the same day as your mother-in-law's birthday, which your wife planned a big family trip somewhere to celebrate. What do you do?

Big oof, though one, probably stayed with family, but I would certainly go after the game to congratulate my old teammate on his retirement and wish him the best retirement.

 

6. Do you have any suggested prospects for Moscow to target in the upcoming S69 VHL Entry draft?

Haven't been following VHLM since I left it, so nope

1. Moscow made some massive waves on the UFA market this off-season acquiring Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen & Gritty. What advice do you have for your new teammates to help them get comfortable playing in Moscow?

 

I guess they're already feeling like in home so I'm late with it.

 

2. Raymond Bernard has established himself as Moscow's #1 goaltender. What is your go-to move or shot in a shootout situation against Berny?

 

Randomly choosing ways how to score, just like how my name suggests.

 

3. If you had to pick a single stat to set a goal in for the upcoming season, what would it be? (i.e. 20 goals or 100 hits or 200 shots blocked, etc.)

 

100+ points.

 

4. Despite gaining Smitty and Gritty, Moscow lost two regular roster members in Mark Gebauer & Evgeni Komarov. Who do you miss more? Pour out some liquor for both.

 

Komarov was an interesting guy. Shame that he's retired, but under understandable circumstances.

 

5. Which North American conference team do you think will meet Moscow in the S69 Continental Cup finals?

 

First if all, Riga will play in finals. Second of all, Seattle looks like a favorite, but won't be surprised if one of Vancouver/Toronto gonna be more lucky in playoffs.

After the season I had last year, my goal is to hit 90 points. It'll definitely be hard, but it is achievable.

I didn't get a chance to meet either of them before I got here, but I know Komarov loved playing for Moscow, so I'll say him.

Yes, I'm an OG NEW Moscow Menance Discord member.

1. Moscow made some massive waves on the UFA market this off-season acquiring Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen & Gritty. What advice do you have for your new teammates to help them get comfortable playing in Moscow? As long as they don't like Malmo we'll all get along fine.

 

2. Raymond Bernard has established himself as Moscow's #1 goaltender. What is your go-to move or shot in a shootout situation against Berny? Skate in slow and fake a slapshot, although I probably shouldn't be giving this information out publicly.

 

3. If you had to pick a single stat to set a goal in for the upcoming season, what would it be? (i.e. 20 goals or 100 hits or 200 shots blocked, etc.) I'd like to go a point per game for the first time in my career. 

 

4. Despite gaining Smitty and Gritty, Moscow lost two regular roster members in Mark Gebauer & Evgeni Komarov. Who do you miss more? Pour out some liquor for both. Komarov. We need more Russians here in Moscow.

 

5. Which North American conference team do you think will meet Moscow in the S69 Continental Cup finals? No clue... Seattle maybe.

Let Edward handle the fights. Seriously, I'd say continue to do what they do best, don't be afraid to chat in the locker room and have fun.

 

2. Raymond Bernard has established himself as Moscow's #1 goaltender. What is your go-to move or shot in a shootout situation against Berny?

I won't use my big clapper since he's our goalie, I would probably go quick wrist shot 5 hole.

 

3. If you had to pick a single stat to set a goal in for the upcoming season, what would it be? (i.e. 20 goals or 100 hits or 200 shots blocked, etc.)

I would like to improve on hits, but I'm not set on a single number, I just want to improve.

 

4. Despite gaining Smitty and Gritty, Moscow lost two regular roster members in Mark Gebauer & Evgeni Komarov. Who do you miss more? Pour out some liquor for both.

I miss them both, they definitely were good guys, will be fun to play against them and get some jokes on ice. They indeed never refused a little liquor.

 

5. Which North American conference team do you think will meet Moscow in the S69 Continental Cup finals?

My bet is Seattle.

1) I am Gritty so I am not sure how to answer this question. We both seem to be fitting in great so far as the team is doing outstanding

2) The one handed tuck always works on Berny. Think like the R1 L1 breakaway move in NHL 20.

3) Getting a point per game would be awesom

4) I never played with either but Komarov. He seemed super excited about Moscow and it is a shame he went inactive.

5) Vancouver is under rated and will most likely make it even though Seattle is so hyped

4) I never played with either but Komarov seemed all about Moscow and really excited about it. It is a shame he went pretty much inactive.
