22. ANOTHER CUP 4/6 BABY

23. I wanted Calgary so badly, because we gave them so much shit, and I wanted them to have their triumphant moment when Calgary, who I consider probably our biggest rival now that Vancouver has embraced mediocrity, has us congratulating them for winning.

[MexicanCow123 914]

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

Definitely deserved. They are a skilled teamed and they had to beat a fantastic team in Calgary to win it all.

 

2. What did @Jubis use to wipe away the tears of being so close, but once again, so far away of winning the cup?

I'm sure he had to use something bigger than tissues. Man that must have hurt.

 

3. What are your thoughts on the Draft? Did anything surprise you?

Not really. For the most part the best player available that fit in with our squad was picked.

 

4. What are your thoughts on the Bears drafting @MexicanCow123?

Guys a total legend. Huge steal and 4th. He for sure deserved to go 1st.

 

5. Should we trade @Rayzor_7

For sure. Tonn is to good to be riding the bench for a season. Rayz should have lots of value has he has carried this team his whole. But it's time for a new much better guy to carry this team.

 

6. What are your plans for the upcoming weekend?

Work, work and more work. For the most part that's all I do.

[oilmandan 688]

1. What are your thoughts on Riga winning the cup? I saw a graphic with Riga as the Oilers, so I can approve that. And Calgary didn’t win. So double win. 

2. What did @Jubis use to wipe away the tears of being so close, but once again, so far away of winning the cup? His Wranglers teddy bear

3. What are your thoughts on the Draft? Did anything surprise you? Didn’t watch it. That part was not surprising. 

4. What are your thoughts on the Bears drafting @MexicanCow123? It’s cool. He’s my old AGM in Vegas. 

5. Should we trade @Rayzor_7 We should make fillers a thing in the VHL, guy builds a better filler than normal player 

6. What are your plans for the upcoming weekend? Getting Telus to finally come and install tv and internet and home security. Then get a tattoo consultation 

[leafsman 207]

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

I am happy for them and dont have any connection to them and they are not a rival so was good to see em win

 

3. What are your thoughts on the Draft? Did anything surprise you?

I didnt really follow it, happy to see we got a goalie for the future

 

4. What are your thoughts on the Bears drafting @MexicanCow123?

Was happy to see us get a goalie as we will need one soon.  I don't really know him but he seems great.

 

6. What are your plans for the upcoming weekend?

Go to my parents place for a swim.  Wanted to do that last weekend but we got a  big storm that day.

 

8. If your player had to swap professional sports, what else would they play and why?

As a brit it would definitely be soccer or as he would call it football.   If he was a physical player rugby would be an option but hes too weak for that.

 

9. Does your player have any superstitions? 

No he doesn't believe in that stuff, my last player was Italian and he would have.

God at this rate it may be an idea

Work and getting back into schooling

17. What city should get a VHL team next? why?

Edmonton - Because I like Edmonton and there'd be a good following imo.

 

18. What team should get a VHLM team next? why?

Edmonton - Because I like Edmonton and there'd be a good following imo.

Probably the Victory Cup.

Blue dreams about Jack Herer.

7. I would probably pick @Berocka, he seems like he might know a fair bit of info

8. Scott Greene would absolutely play tennis

9. Scott Greene wears the same underwear every game.

10. WE WANT THE CUP

11. ME

12. HOPEFULLY RAYZOR BUT PROBABLY A RED GUY

[oilmandan 688]

13. What team places 1st in NA? Seattle, duh. We tha Bearz and we tha best

14. What team places 1st in EU? RIga? I haven't looked, but they usually seem to be good

15. Any predictions on the two finalist teams? Who wins the cup? Same as above. With Seattle winning out of course

16. If you had to relocate a VHLM team, which would it be? Mexico City? I dunno, they all seem good

17. What city should get a VHL team next? why? Edmonton or Rio di Janiero or however it's spelled

18. What team should get a VHLM team next? why? Banff. Beautiful place for a hockey team

[zepheter 586]

7. If you had to pick any player as a lifeline on a game show, who would you pick and why? 

Rayz because he's the most clutch player in the league.

8. If your player had to swap professional sports, what else would they play and why? 

Probably lacrosse. It's the closest sport to hockey in my opinion and I also have a passion for that.

9. Does your player have any superstitions? 

Left to right when he puts his gear on.

10. How do you think the Bears do this season? 

Similar to last season. We're going to be a championship-caliber team.

11. What player do you think will win MVP? 

At this point it looks like Gunnar and HHH are in the mix, but we'll see by the end of the season. We've been on a tear recently so I wouldn't be surprised if we have one if not a few players stepping into the conversation.

12. What goalie will finish the best this season? 

I'm sticking with Rayz. He's proven many times that he is the best goaler in the league. 

[leafsman 207]

5. Should we trade @Rayzor_7

No, now that we are deep into the season he will be back to his dominant ways.  I think its beter for my fantasy team if he stays here as well.

 

10. How do you think the Bears do this season?

Finish in the top 4 and make a deep playoff run

 

11. What player do you think will win MVP?

It looks like Gunnar is a strong possibility but hopefully a bear can make a run as we do better at this point in the season

 

12. What goalie will finish the best this season? 

Ray Funk.  We got over the earlier point in the season and now is when Funk steps it up

 

13. What team places 1st in NA?

Seattle.  Can go against our team when we have a shot

 

14. What team places 1st in EU?

Helsinki, They've been on a tear recently and have bulit a strong case

 

 

 

[a_Ferk 766]

16. If you had to relocate a VHLM team, which would it be?

 

Probably Halifax. They haven't been around for very long and have no history of success so it wouldn't hurt very many people's feelings I bet.
