20. If you were Bears GM for a day, what would you do?

Trade cow 

[gregreg 930]

20. If you were Bears GM for a day, what would you do?

Well, I'd find a new goalie because the team is NEVER going to win with a 5'5 goalie and I would call up Leo Strauss because he is the best player not on this current tire fire of a roster!

 

11. Predict who will win the cup?

I don't follow the VHL that well but I'm going to pick Vancouver Wolves because they haven't lost yet and they don't have a 5'5 goalie is is garbage so I feel pretty good about them winning it al this season 

 

 14. If you had to get rid of one VHL team, which one would it be?

New York Americans, easy they have been a terrible franchise for a very long time and they have alway been the ass cracks of the VHL. They need to go, the league would only get better if they remove the “short bus” of the VHL 

 

 

Questions

1. Why do you trust a goalie that is 5’5 to actually win you games?
2. How long till you see Leo Strauss in the VHL?
3. Which member do you hate the most and why is gregreg? 

 

[MexicanCow123 914]

1. What are your thoughts on the Bears winning the cup?

 

Super happy for the team! Glad it happened last season, not Loving this year's chances.

 

 

2. What was the biggest surprise of the playoffs?

 

Can't be us. It was kinda obvious we were winning. I also don't remember it was so long ago, so let's say NO ONE.

 

3. How do you think @Jubisand the CGY LR felt after losing a 3-1 series lead? LOL

 

That's just a stupid ass question. What do you think dumbass.

 

4. Who would you of taken 1st OV in this previous draft?

 

Who even drafts players lololololol. You don't need no picks. Just trade em all.

 

5. What player ends up being MVP for this season?

 

Kris Rice has been popping off lately I think he'll finish in the running for it. Greta teammate on and off the ice.

 

6. who do you think was the most/highest picked player for this seasons fantasy?

 

Probably Gunnar. He played so well last season he's a must pick.

2. What is the biggest surprise to start the season?

What are your thoughts on the Bears winning the cup?

It was amazing.  To win my second cup in just my third season felt great.  Hope we can go back to back

 

8. Do you think Jacob Tonn will be able to step up and earn the starter role?

 

Yes he will grow into the role and help us win another cup. 

 

9. What are your thoughts on the team trading away @DoktorFunk?

 

It sucked to see him go as he was a great player for us and a great teammate but in a cap world changes can be forced 

 

 

11. Predict who will win the cup?

This answer should always be the bears.  I want to win every season.  So far it's been every other so time to break that pattern 

 

 

18. What is your favorite food?

I'd have to say pizza with pasta being a close second. 

 

19. What is your favorite thing to drink?

If alcoholic beverage that's a hard one to answer, depends on the day as I love beer, wine and whiskey .  If non alcohol coke. 

 

 

[MexicanCow123 914]

7. What are your thoughts on GREGGREG signing with Seattle for free and not being drafted (technically was 3 times lolol)

 

Its huge! Greg will be a huge piece to the team and i'm super pumped to have him next season?!?!

 

8. Do you think Jacob Tonn will be able to step up and earn the starter role?

 

Yah i think it's just going to take time. He's a young kid, you can't expect him to be amazing right away.

 

9. What are your thoughts on the team trading away @DoktorFunk?

 

Its something that needed to be done. I loved having Funk on the team but it was time for him to find a new home.

 

10. What are your thoughts on the team trading for @Ricer13?

 

Its amazing, a fantastic trade. Krice is a huge player on and off the time. was an absolute STEAL.

 

11. Predict who will win the cup?

 

I obviously want to say seattle, but that's a little unrealistic this season. Id say malmo as they have been on fire lately and i think they can keep it up.

 

12. The league is expanding again, where would you add the team to?

 

Let's get a team to Hawaii. Fantastic beaches and sightseeing, great for people going on vacation because they still get to watch hockey in person.

[Jason flying elbows 21]

10. What team is going to place last in the VHL next season? Don’t know all the teams 

11. What are your thoughts on the Bears adding Ylonen? Where do you see him fitting in? He will make a great fit I think good guy team player 

12. Thoughts on Dallas Jones being added to the team? He will fit in just nice 

[MexicanCow123 914]

13. Which expansion team will do the best this season?

Warsaw has a fantastic GM, I believe they will do good things soon.

 

14. If you had to get rid of one VHL team, which one would it be?

Get rid of all Toronto teams. You're not the center of the damn world. Gosh Toronto people piss me off.

 

15. What was your best memory of this summer? 

didn't do much this summer. Just relaxed and enjoyed it. Went to the beach for a while and enjoyed the nice sun.

 

16. What are your goals heading into fall, winter and almost... 2021..?

i honestly don't really set goals. I do have things in my mind that I want to accomplish but those are for me .

 

17. Will the Bears win this season and who will be the game changer?

So far we are back in the running. Krice Rice and Jacob Tonn have really stepped up there game.

 

18. What is your favorite food?

im a basic boy. I love my pizza. Will always love it.

 

[leafsman 207]

What are your thoughts on the Bears start so far? 

 

Our typical start to the season.  We start slow and then begin to climb in the second quarter of the season.

 

 Will Hogan hit 1,000 SB by the end of the season?

I Think he will.  He's off the pace to due it right now but he still has to me to do it 

 

Will Rocket or Isabella Campbell finish with more points? Both have 4 G, 4 A and 8 PTS as of this Q.

I would say Isabella would finish higher at the time of this question.  Now that Isabella has 5 more points my answer is the same. 

 

What are your plans for Halloween?

No plans.  Hoping my wife stays pregnant into November so that baby is close to full term

 

What are some things you’ve dressed up as during your lifetime? Either adult or as a kid? 

I don't remember too many but beikeibe I was a ninja turtle as I loved it.  Any kid in the 90s probably loved them

 

It's Fall time. Looking back on summer, what was your best memory or best time?

Hearing the baby heart beat for the first time.    With covid and my wife's pregnancy we have had a quiet summer, normally we'd be traveling or at the Inlaws cottage.

Let's hope you guys can win a cup.

3. What team has surprised you so far?

Thankful for my puppy, Willow.

6. Predict your finals stats for your player. Goals, Assists and Points. GO! For hogan, also include SHOTS BLOCKED LOLS

1-2 goals and about 10-11 assists. Maybe 10-12 blocked shots. I'm trying to play good in my own end.

[a_Ferk 766]

1. What are your thoughts on the Bears start so far? We started slow, but we've done a lot better in recent memory.

6. It's Fall time. Looking back on summer, what was your best memory or best time? My uncle's wedding was the best for me over the summer.

[jRuutu 2,464]

1. Thoughts on trading for Jim Bob?

Questionable condition levels and yea he can hit, but at what point is he planning on hitting the back of the net?

 

2. Thoughts on the Bears season so far?

2nd in NA and 4th in the whole league when looking at points, so solid run so far. Finishing first is still in our own hands - all you can ask for at this point!

 

3. What team has surprised you so far?

Moscow perhaps, they have a solid team, but 72 points and first in the league is bit of a surprise. Interesting to see if they can keep it up the whole year.

 

4. Thanksgiving weekend for Canadians. What are you excited to eat this weekend if you're family is still doing that? 

I'm not Canadian, but pasta and meat, the answer is always going to be pasta and meat.

 

5. What are you thankful for in life? Name some shit. Spread the joy. POSITIVE VIBES.

I'm thankful that I'm healthy. I have food to eat and pants to wear, all is well.

 

6. Predict your finals stats for your player. Goals, Assists and Points. GO! For hogan, also include SHOTS BLOCKED LOLS

3 goals and 3 assists and maybe 2 blocked shots. That is if I happen to fall down at weird time and end up getting in front of the shots.
