42. We're in the playoffs. What's one area we need to tighten up to win it all?

43. Who takes the Daisuke Kanoue this year?

44. Who emerges from Europe as the contender for the Cup?

45. Do you like our chances compared to other teams? Why?

46. Lineups have been having a tough time for about the last third of the season. What are your Bears starting lines/pairings headed into the wildcard?

47. Will Bana ever do the press conferences again? 

1. Well, I guess we would've needed to tighten our offense, but we didnt.

2. Doesn't matter to me. Probably a goalie unless somebody puts up at least 27 points.

44. Warsaw again, they're still a really good team and could go all the way.

45. The whole team kinda started to slip in the last 20-30 games of the season. It wasn't surprising to see us lose.

46. I guess I was really late on these questions, but it's hard to change up our lines a ton with our lack of a 6th forward. I couldve moved to the second line but I'm  not sure what that would've done.

47. I don't think so, youre kinda his bitch now.

[DoktorFunk 810]

48. Which hockey team do you follow IRL and who's your favorite player?

49. Who do you want to win the cup out of all the active VHL teams that haven't won one in more than 10 season?

50. Who's the most overrated current VHL player?

51. Predictions for the upcoming season?

52. Any really good meals you've had recently?

53. Are you braced for winter?

53. Are you braced for winter?

1. San Jose Sharks, on their current roster Timo Meier or Tomas Hurtl.

2. Having spent a whole career there the Toronto Legion, long suffering franchise.

3. I really don't know, don't pay enough attention to see who is talked about all the time.

4. Moscow loose in the finals again?

5. Pizza, just pizza.

6. No, never am.

[DoktorFunk 810]

54. Maybe some more general questions, I found when I used to do PCs it wasn't always great to focus on current team events. More general questions make it easier to answer if somebody is doing the PC a bit late.

55. It really depends on this FA class, the bears have a lot of picks and could make something big happen there too. Bana's always been great at that kind of stuff so I don't expect a bad season at all.

56. Whole team is lining up for a rod stewart concert baby.

57. Thanksgiving was last month, but ill serve them a couple of knuckle sandwhiches.

58. Nobody, gotta get all the room you can brother.

59. Nope. grind and get better as always.

1. Hard to say since it does need to stay focused on the VHL for the most part right? I guess fun locations to expand to and such.

2. Maybe a slight step down? Nothing to major though, the team still seems really strong.

3. Three Days Grace or Eminem

4. The standard turkey and mash potatoes with gravy.

5. Well if he was still here Sigard, but I'll say Dusty instead.

6. Nope!! Just keep grinding away and be ready for Ori's last season!!

[Bojovnik 487]

54. How good Yaroslav Bogatyrev is

55. Rebuild looks to be going well! If we get a C sorted that would be great

56. Dashboard Confessional

57. I've never celebrated thanksgiving so idk what to serve

58. Emergency exit row to fit my legs in

59. Farm TPE like a madman.

[DoktorFunk 810]

60. Game 1: You have to fight a player on the other team. Who is it?

61. Same question, but you have to fight a player on YOUR team? Who is it?

62. The Team drafted @DarkSpyro's goalie, Ash Sparks, very high in the draft. What do you think of this move?

63. How do you feel the Bears will do this year, especially with @Hogan still being on the team but changing roles?

64. Does Bana win the best GM award this year? The Bear's offseason was unreal.

65. What kind of car am I buying you when we win the cup?

[Bojovnik 487]

60. I'd crush that Nico Pearce guy

61. I'd crush that Tavish DeGroot guy

62. I think they're a great player and will make a fantastic contribution to our team.

63. I definitely think that playoffs should be our goal. We have some issues at Centre but I'm sure they can be ironed out.

64. If we make the playoffs, I think he has to.

65. A VW Golf GTI.

60. According to Bojo we are playing the wolves first game so I would beat up Leduc. I wanted him on the bears so now that he's not I want to beat him up.

61. Probably Bojo.

62. Very good to have a real backup goalie, one that can take over in a few seasons. Also great to have Spyro back.

63. I'm not sure if the Bears are done yet with moves but we're currently a very good team.

64. Maybe, they're probably tired of giving it to him.

65. We dont need a car brother, we got private jets and limos.

[DoktorFunk 810]

66. What videogames do you and the lads play off the rink?

67. You get a tattoo. What is it of?

68. Only leg day or only upper body day? Why?

69. Lol 69 but also, you have to introduce hockey to one country in Asia, and it becomes it's biggest sport. What country do you choose?

70. What kind of restaurant would you open if you could?

71. How do you feel about DA BEARS start so far?

[Bojovnik 487]

66. Honestly, I don't play any video games. Don't have the time for it.

67.  I'd like some city/landscape silhouettes on my legs to remind me of where I've been

68. Only leg day because the feeling is great

69. I think Indonesia

70. Good Slovak food with Slovak beer.

71. Very mid but we move.

[der meister 2,956]

1 - Lately I've been playing 7 Days to Die, FIFA, and Witcher 3. In make believe hockey land, I'd imagine Among Us would be fun for a team to do.

2 - A bowl of ramen

3 - Leg day. I always preferred leg day.

4 - Japan, obviously. Just look at my player.

5 - Ramen shop? Or a pizza place. I make good pizza.

6 - I just joined but so far so good.

1. Mostly shooters, the likes of Destiny 2, Overwatch 2, recently started playing Evil West, trying to clear out some of my backlog honestly.

2. Probably of one of my favorite video game characters.

3. Only leg day, cause it's important.

4. Philippines, meet one cool people from there.

5. I guess something like Tim Hortons lol

6. It's not to rough, I believe you guys can improve!!

[der meister 2,956]

3 - if so, will you stick to them? Lol 

4 - what are your expectations for your player this upcoming season? 

5 - what is your favorite part of the VHL?

3. I just paid for 30 sessions of personal training, so I had better

4. Dustin Funk Trophy

5. the ability to shitpost

6. EUROPE. Somewhere in Europe

 Bana's S87 Quick Q's - THE CATCH UP

 

 

1. How was your Christmas/Holiday season? What did you get up to?

It was lovely. Visited my family and my "in-laws," and spent much of it just chilling. I avoided being stranded in the arctic too, so that was pretty rad.

 

3. If you got a gift, which was the best/most memorable?

My ma and pa got me a Traegar BBQ/smoker, so I'm looking forward to becoming a REAL MAN this Spring/Summer.

 

4. What are your thoughts on Vancouver winning the cup?

That's good for them, they were a really good, well-built team. I would have preferred to see Prague win in the finals, but them's the breaks!

 

5. What are your thoughts on Nesbitt extending with the Bears? @AW13

That was great for everyone involved! Seattle secures having one of, if not the best defensive core in the league, and keeps y'all competitive going into the season!

 

6.Who are some players the Bears should be looking at for 7th and 8th overall in the draft?

Kronchy Kardashian would be a very solid pick if he makes it that far. Garsh is reliable and fun. Logan Foley brings in WildfireMicro, who is always a very active locker room presence, y'all would jive well.

 

7. What's something good going on in your life right now?

My girlfriend finally just got spinal surgery after a year of having a pretty severe herneated disc. The three weeks leading up to the surgery she was barely able to move, and had far worse mobility and quality of life than a paraplegic. The surgery went well though, and I'm finally hopeful she'll be able to get back to a place of relative normal sooner than later!

 

[Pifferfish 354]

1. Just hung out with my girlfriend's family.

3. As a GM, one of my favorite players of all time @JetsGoalie101sent over some gold plated shades that I have encased on my mantle presently.

4. Arch enemy, gotta beat the best to be the best. I plan to prove a single mighty Bear is worth more than a pack of Wolves this season!

5. He is great but the Seattle fans will cheer louder when they get Lampi signed long term.

6. Infamous sim league member D3X for sure. Dude will right this ship solo mode.

@D3X

9. Learn how to score on the World stage and in the proAM.

1. How was your Christmas/Holiday season? What did you get up to?

It wasn’t very good when I was sick, but I’m grateful that I was able to take place in the Charity Drive when I started to recover.

 

2. What was the best food you ate over the holiday season?

Chinese~ I haven’t had it from a good restaurant in 2 years so it was an amazing treat for New Years?

 

3. If you got a gift, which was the best/most memorable?

I got my sons a play set of cars and tracks, with towers and garages! I have been having a blast with the boys and watching them open their gifts!! (even if we were all sick lol)

 

4. What are your thoughts on Vancouver winning the cup?

As a former Wolves Captain with Jimmy Spyro, it makes me a little happy to see their success, but nowhere near as happy as I will be when we win the cup here in Seattle!!

 

5. What are your thoughts on Nesbitt extending with the Bears? @AW13

This excites me because now I’ll have a chance to be on the same team as an old friend of mine! Ash Sparks is incredibly hyped with how the starting line up is looking this season, especially knowing one of the star players in Nesbitt chose to extend here of their own volition.

 

6.Who are some players the Bears should be looking at for 7th and 8th overall in the draft?

 

7. What's something good going on in your life right now?

 

8. Did you set a New Years resolution? If so, what was it?

 

9. Did your player set a New Years resolution? If so, what was it?

Ash Sparks has been very critical in himself, and he has made this holiday break count to refresh his mentality and focus between the pipes. He is very eager to play at least 10 games for the Bears, and make a solid impact when he his called upon.

1. How was your Christmas/Holiday season? What did you get up to?

Awesome! Any time I get to spend time with my extended family is a breath of fresh air. Always have a blast.

 

2. What was the best food you ate over the holiday season?

It had to be sweet potato marshmallow casserole. Absolutely unreal when I tried it for the first time.

 

3. If you got a gift, which was the best/most memorable?

My best friend got me a signed Mike Tyson glove. He was hinting at getting me something nice and I genuinely had no idea what it was. I can't wait to put it in a display box next to my TV. 

 

4. What are your thoughts on Vancouver winning the cup?

I HATE Vancouver! We can't let this happen again. Let's go win one.

 

5. What are your thoughts on Nesbitt extending with the Bears? 

Heck yeah! Obviously last season didn't meet our expectations, but keeping a player like Nesbitt is crucial if we want to find success in the next couple seasons. 

 

6.Who are some players the Bears should be looking at for 7th and 8th overall in the draft?

Well that's out of the window now that we have the 4th overall pick. I really want AJ's player Randy Bobandy if he drops. Please fall to us!

[leafsman 207]

1-How was your Christmas/Holiday season? What did you get up to?

 

Was great went to Florida for first time since COVID. Also first time traveling with kids.

 

2. What was the best food you ate over the holiday season?

 

Tacos at Mexican place in West Palm Beach.

 

3. If you got a gift, which was the best/most memorable?

 

Bourbon and whiskey always a great gift

 

4. What are your thoughts on Vancouver winning the cup?

Hate it, don't want to see a rival win

 

5. What are your thoughts on Nesbitt extending with the Bears? @AW13

 

Amazing news. Can help us to end the year with a cup.

 

 

 

7. What's something good going on in your life right now?

 

my kids. My son is now starting to talk alot more and it's hilarious but will have to watch what we say now lol.  Also great to see how he loves his baby sister.

 

 

[Bojovnik 487]

1. Christmas and New Year was good. Especially when it's like 80 degrees outside.

2. Either the roast duck I made for christmas, or the christmas cake that followed.

3. My wife and I don't give out gifts and christmas and new year. Only ended up buying the cat a new cat tree.

4. Don't care at all. We need to be there next season.

5. Good news, now let's go win some games.

6. Work is good, surprisingly.

[zepheter 585]

10. What are your thoughts on Seattle calling up Elias Lampi? 

Well we needed someone to replace DeGroot. It's gonna be tough to replace that production, but I still believe we can make some noise next season.

 

11. What are your thoughts on Seattle drafting Randy Bobandy 4th overall?

I'm stoked! I expect Randy to be a star very soon.

 

12. What are your thoughts on the Seattle roster heading into the season?

We have a good mix of young and old. Even if we struggle right off the bat I think we could push for a playoff spot towards the end of the season. 

 

13. Ash Sparks will be learning behind Dusty Wilson this season. For a first bonding experience, what did the two do together?

They got absolutely plastered at a local bar in Seattle. 

 

14. Who, if any, do you think should be team captains this season?

Dusty carries us so I'm gonna go with Dusty, Hogan and Chip. Would be pretty cool if I got it, but I just wanna win. Everything else is just a bonus.

 

15. The Bears got a new team mascot. What is it and what is their name?

It's a Florida man. I'm joking, but wouldn't that be great? It's a bear and its name is Grizz because I have no creativity.
