Moscow Menace Press Conference

[flyersfan345 61]

New Presser for the start of the S97 Playoffs:

 

1. With playoffs starting this week, how do you feel about our S96 playoff rematch with Davos?

 

2. Does the S96 series concern you at all, or does our regular season success against them give you more confidence?

 

3. The final few games of the regular season were brutal for us. What do you think went wrong?

 

4. We're contenders once again, but this time, with no Victory Cup curse. With the regular season now behind us, how do you feel about our Cup odds?

 

5. How do you feel about your player's regular season performance with it now in the rearview?

 

6. Who do you think will be our MVP in the playoffs?

1. With playoffs starting this week, how do you feel about our S96 playoff rematch with Davos?

I think we will have a good chance of beating their ass, I am expecting tight games, but we will take the series in 5!

 

2. Does the S96 series concern you at all, or does our regular season success against them give you more confidence?

This season is a new season, we have learned our lesson, time for some payback.

 

3. The final few games of the regular season were brutal for us. What do you think went wrong?

We made easy mistakes and the other teams were lethal in front of the net. Perhaps the other teams just wanted to beat us more than we did, Moscow has been the top team for so long that other teams have that extra desire to show they can compete with the best.

 

4. We're contenders once again, but this time, with no Victory Cup curse. With the regular season now behind us, how do you feel about our Cup odds?

We will go all the way into the finals and bring home the cup, I am confident!

 

5. How do you feel about your player's regular season performance with it now in the rearview?

I think I had a solid year, I was expecting bit more assists, but cool still that I got close to 50 goals! I am hoping I am able to score some crucial goals in the playoffs.

 

6. Who do you think will be our MVP in the playoffs?

I will say Maverick, they will keep firing those pucks into the net and they will also hit the other teams players every change they get.

Late here, but worth getting something in while we can for this week:

 

1. Which country do you think will win the Four Nations Faceoff?
2. Who do you expect to lead in points in the Four Nations Faceoff?
3. We're up against the ropes, whether we make it through to the next round or not, how do you feel about our season, reflecting on it to date?
4. Wildcard teams seem to be doing considerable damage to the league's top contenders this year. What do you think is causing this? Is it the break?
5. If you could bring back any former Moscow player for help in these playoffs, who would it be?
6. Do you have any crazy offseason predictions?

Which country do you think will win the Four Nations Faceoff?

Finland will take it home

 

Who do you expect to lead in points in the Four Nations Faceoff?

Barkov will have 14 assists and 1 goal.

 

We're up against the ropes, whether we make it through to the next round or not, how do you feel about our season, reflecting on it to date?

I think Moscow has played solid hockey all year long, I think we will push the series to game 7 and take it home, and when that happens our season has been even better and will almost certainly end in cup celebrations.

 

Wildcard teams seem to be doing considerable damage to the league's top contenders this year. What do you think is causing this? Is it the break?

Wildcard teams are better than in the past perhaps when there is so many teams and so few top-end talents out there.

 

If you could bring back any former Moscow player for help in these playoffs, who would it be?

Someone like Idaho, Markinson, or Pavlov, we need physicality on the ice!

 

Do you have any crazy offseason predictions?

Moscow will get an affiliate team in the NA division where we send our younger players to develop.

1. Which country do you think will win the Four Nations Faceoff?
   1. Hard to bet against Canada or US, but I'll lean Canada in this one even though goaltending is a question.
2. Who do you expect to lead in points in the Four Nations Faceoff?
   1. Sidney Mothafucking Crosbovski!
3. We're up against the ropes, whether we make it through to the next round or not, how do you feel about our season, reflecting on it to date?
   1. We did not make it. We got really unlucky with some, quite frankly, ridiculous ejections including our goalie 4 minutes into a game. If there's a way to prevent that @Commissioner then I'd strong suggest looking into it. 
4. Wildcard teams seem to be doing considerable damage to the league's top contenders this year. What do you think is causing this? Is it the break?
   1. There's a lot of parity among the top teams. It's not like they aren't strong teams themselves. Also, generally the younger a team is the quicker they will improve which means it's quite a different team from the beginning of the season.
5. If you could bring back any former Moscow player for help in these playoffs, who would it be?
   1. Gotta be the legend @STZ Hard Markinson who was an absolute baller in the playoffs. 
6. Do you have any crazy offseason predictions?
   1. We see a shock retirement that shakes up the landscape of the NA Conference.

[flyersfan345 61]

Sadly, it is now the offseason for us, so we have some offseason press conference questions for this week.

 

1. We have two players retiring, all-time Moscow great and a true Menace to the league, David Rashford, and our newest defenseman, Montgomery Burns. Do you have any message for these guys as they move on?
2. These retirements are leaving some big holes in the lineup, though we do have S97 Founders Cup champion Kazuma Satou (@Spartan ), moving up and switching to C. How do you think Moscow should aim to improve for next season?
3. Are you planning to participate in any offseason tournaments?
4. Who is your favorite athlete outside of the NHL?
5. Who is your pick for MVP of the Four Nations Faceoff?
6. Will Alexander Ovechkin hit 895 goals and break Gretzky's record this season?

Proshchayte i spasibo za vash vklad v organizatsiyu Moskovskaya ugroza.

 

These retirements are leaving some big holes in the lineup, though we do have S97 Founders Cup champion Kazuma Satou (@Spartan), moving up and switching to C. How do you think Moscow should aim to improve for next season?

 

They should tank and thus allow another team to compete for a change.

 

Are you planning to participate in any offseason tournaments?

 

I'm contemplating retirement but I think Dassler is entered into something this offseason.

 

Who is your favorite athlete outside of the NHL?

 

Brooke Wells

 

Who is your pick for MVP of the Four Nations Faceoff?

 

I don't know...Austen Matthews?

 

Will Alexander Ovechkin hit 895 goals and break Gretzky's record this season?

 

Hopefully yes. Records are made to be broken.

Great careers, hopefully you will create new players and make your way to Moscow again! Enjoy the retirement!

I think this type of commentary is propaganda, aimed to create favorable negotiation position for any potential trade negotiations during the off-season. Having said that, I am going to spend all of my banked TPE on fighting and checking to go for a Gladiator-type last year of my career, I will entertain and when the last game of the season is done - I will lay down at the center of the ice on my back - dying from old age.

 

Are you planning to participate in any offseason tournaments?

Not sure, more than likely not if there is no world cup going on

 

Who is your favorite athlete outside of the NHL?

Mike Tyson

 

Who is your pick for MVP of the Four Nations Faceoff?

Crosby maybe?

 

Will Alexander Ovechkin hit 895 goals and break Gretzky's record this season?

I think so, he will go over 900!
