GOOD EVENING MIAMI!!!

 

Get ready for some questions to earn YOUR 2 CAPPED TPE FOR THE WEEK ENDING JUNE 2ND!

 

1. The VHLM season is set to start in just under a week. What are your expectations of yourself and your team going into the season?

I am really looking forward to being able to finally play for Miami. I just hope that I can do well on the team and have lots of fun.

 

2. Where do you think Miami will place in the standings by the end of the season?

Miami will be first in the standings. If you believe, you can achieve!

 

3. The WJC has wrapped up it's round robin and is off to the medal round. Who do you think gets gold this season between Europe and Canada?

I haven't been paying any attention to the WJC but everyone knows Europe is just better in general.

 

4. Who is your second favourite NHL player?

This is a very tough question. My first would be an easy answer. I'm not sure I can come up with an answer for this one. As my AGM, you should already know the answer Royski.

 

5. If you could play for any NHL team, which would it be and why?

I would play for the Atlanta Thrashers because they are the best NHL team ever.

 

6. I've been asked by the arena managers to conduct a survey on player's thoughts on the arena. What is one addition to the Marauders arena that you would like to see added and why?

I think we should get a branch of Shindogs like they have in Vegas and in Halifax. I like hotdogs.

 

Thank you for your time. See you next week! 

[Ricer13 2,816]

4. Who is your second favourite NHL player?

 

Quinn Hughes. It constantly changes but right now JT Miller is number 1.

 

5. If you could play for any NHL team, which would it be and why?

 

It would have to be the Vancouver Canucks. My fave team, beautiful season, insane fans, electric playoff atmosphere.

 

6. I've been asked by the arena managers to conduct a survey on player's thoughts on the arena. What is one addition to the Marauders arena that you would like to see added and why?

 

id like to see a massive pirate ship lowered down on to the ice before the game for the players to enter the ice through. 

[Royski 79]

GOOD EVENING MIAMI!!!

 

Here is YOUR 2 CAPPED TPE FOR THE WEEK ENDING JUNE 9TH!

 

1. We are currently 14 games into quite the season for the Marauders! Looking at the VHLM, what is the biggest surprise that you've seen come from the start of this season so far?

 

2. Who has been your favourite team to play against?

 

3. What do you think will be the biggest challenge that Miami will face?

 

4. Do you think you would make a good pirate? Why or why not?

 

5. The matchup for the Stanley Cup Finals is set! Between the Panthers and the Oilers, who do you have to win the cup? Or, who do you NOT want to win and why?

 

6. Would you rather have to eat every food with relish or hollandaise sauce?

 

Also, I've passed a notion to the board of Miami for the addition of a Sauna, a giant pirate ship for team entrances, as well as opened a bid for a hotdog chain to join the arena food court!

 

Thank you for your time. See you next week!

Thank you for your time. See you next week! 

1. I am honestly surprised at how well Tim Robinson has played, was not expecting him to be scoring so much

2. Wouldn't say I have a favorite, but going against Houston a bunch this year and having a record of 3-2-1 against them has caused a slight rivalry with them I think. I'd say it's the most interesting team we've gone against because we had so many games against them early in the season

3. The playoffs!

4. Probably not, the food would be not the greatest on a ship and I'm not enough of an alcoholic to get drunk enough to make the food taste good! Plus I can't even tie a sailors knot!

5. I don't really have a preference, but I think Florida will win. It might be a pretty close series tho, I could see it goin to 7

6. Hollandaise maybe? I don't really like relish, but I had hollandaise just a couple days ago  

[xsjack 132]

1. The biggest surprise to me so far is San Diego I for sure thought they were going to be a top 2 team and right now that's not the case at all meanwhile Mexico City and Halifax have come out the gate strong and have done better than I expected.

2. Houston but that's probably cause half of the games we have played so far have been against them.

3. definitely the playoffs

4. No I'd probably mess something up and cause the ship to run aground or sink.

5. I want a Canadian team to finally lift the cup again so I'm cheering for Edmonton unfortunately.

6. Relish by default since I've never had Hollandaise.

[Kavadar 21]

1. We are currently 14 games into quite the season for the Marauders! Looking at the VHLM, what is the biggest surprise that you've seen come from the start of this season so far?

My biggest surprise so far has been the fact that we can't seem to beat Mississauga

 

2. Who has been your favourite team to play against?

Again, Mississauga, because it was my first team

 

3. What do you think will be the biggest challenge that Miami will face?

To keep this progression going. Last years worse team and now a playoff/championship contender. Hopefully Miami can play well also in the future years and not drop back down.

 

4. Do you think you would make a good pirate? Why or why not?

I would probably suck. I get sea sick.

 

5. The matchup for the Stanley Cup Finals is set! Between the Panthers and the Oilers, who do you have to win the cup? Or, who do you NOT want to win and why?

Rooting for Panthers. Would be a historic Stanley Cup win for a Finnish captain. Also Lundell is my hometown teams own boy!

 

6. Would you rather have to eat every food with relish or hollandaise sauce?

To be honest - I don't think I've ever had either of them. But let's say hollandaise.

2. Who has been your favourite team to play against?

HALIFAX. Because they are currently the best. Who doesn't want to beat the best? Also @LucyXpher is awesome.

YARGH MATEY! I SPENT MANY-A DAY ON THE OPEN SEAS, PILLAGING THE SPICE SHIPS RETURNING FROM THE NEW WORLD

It's going to be an amazing series. It's really a coin flip. Maurice has gotten so much out of that Panthers team. On the other hand, Oilers have the two best players on the planet currently. McFilthy is absolutely David or something like that. 

 

Skinner has also stepped up and given the offensive talent of the Oilers, if he's playing well, they will be pretty much unbeatably.

 

On the other hand, he's known to be a bit shaky. But you know who is rock solid? Bobrovsky. So there's another angle.

 

Too much to say on this. I'll talk more on my next podcast about it haha.

GOOD EVENING MIAMI!!!

 

Here is YOUR 2 CAPPED TPE FOR THE WEEK ENDING JUNE 9TH!

 

1. We are currently 14 games into quite the season for the Marauders! Looking at the VHLM, what is the biggest surprise that you've seen come from the start of this season so far?

 

Biggest surprise is how well I am playing. I expected to be great and I am even greater than great.

 

2. Who has been your favourite team to play against?

 

Las Vegas because they are kind enough not to score on me too much.

 

3. What do you think will be the biggest challenge that Miami will face?

 

Once the new safety rules come in, we may struggle to play well without our skates.

 

4. Do you think you would make a good pirate? Why or why not?

 

No I hate the Pirates. I would never be a Pirate.

 

5. The matchup for the Stanley Cup Finals is set! Between the Panthers and the Oilers, who do you have to win the cup? Or, who do you NOT want to win and why?

 

Oilers for the win. I want Evander Kane to get his name on the cup. GO THRASHERS!

 

6. Would you rather have to eat every food with relish or hollandaise sauce?

 

I don't think I've ever eaten any food with either of those two things. I'd probably just starve.

 

Also, I've passed a notion to the board of Miami for the addition of a Sauna, a giant pirate ship for team entrances, as well as opened a bid for a hotdog chain to join the arena food court!

 

Thank you for your time. See you next week!

6. If you could change one thing about the VHL, what would it be?

 

Thank you for your time. See you next week! 

1. Still a lot of games left to sim and we play both teams quite a bit more! I think we have a shot!

2. Tim Robinson had a great start, but has now started to fizzle. The rest of the team is playing great however so I'm pretty happy! Most of the time the team explodes for offense and doesn't normally allow too many goals. I'd say if it ain't broke... don't fix it

3. Pirates of the Caribbean theme song

4.  That is tough. I think I would pick Yzerman for a former player I'd like to talk with, I wanna know more about the Yzerplan for the Red Wings 

5. 5 minute major for fighting. I'd reduce it to a 2 minute penalty that causes 4 on 4

6. I would merge the VHLE and VHLM and raise the TPE cap of the M

[xsjack 132]

1. We definitely have a shot at it but we would need to be in our best form to do it.

2. I'd say we are doing pretty good just need to not drop points to inferior teams like earlier in the season and maybe Mathiesen could provide a bit more defensively. 

3. something by Miami legend Pitbull probably Fireball.

4. Andrew Ladd used to love him when I was younger, even had #16 when I played and everything.

5. extend overtime to 10 minutes, fewer shootouts and therefore more actual hockey.

6. Increase the career length to 10 seasons.

Miami can definitely do this. There is always a chance.

 

2. What do you think either yourself or Miami can do to improve thus far?

 

The rest of the team need to start passing to me and Spider more. They barely ever pass to us.

 

3. What do you think the goal song for Miami should be this season?

 

No goal song, just silence. A really long silence.

 

4. If you could spend the day with any NHL player, who would it be?

 

I have no idea. I'd like a random one so I don't have to pick.

 

5. If you could change or remove one rule from the NHL, which would it be and why?

 

Stopping the clock. Just go fast.

 

6. If you could change one thing about the VHL, what would it be?

 

Fire the VHLM commissioners and hire Dyl.

5. MMA fights instead of the old fashioned fist fights

4. Who has impressed you the most this season?

 

5. If you could perfect one skill, what would it be?

 

6. The cannons on the arena ship have been deemed as a... "hazard". Do you have any solutions to remedy this?

 

Thank you for your time. See you next week! 

[xsjack 132]

1. San Diego I think the logo would look better with darker colours like dark blue and black/grey.

2. closing out games in regulation we've had too many games go to OT that we could have won.

3. he's a traitor plain and simple, we'll destroy him just like the rest of them when we meet in the playoffs.

4. Robinson and Pines Jr both playing better than I expected and both are big reasons why we are doing so well I believe.

5. Cooking 100% 

6. Nope I personally think the cannons are just fine, they make us look tough.

Miami Marauders Presser week ending July 28th 2025

 

1. We have a lot of Marauders moving up to the VHLE this season and few entering the VHLM draft. If you were to be redrafted or are being drafted for the first time, what is your dream team to be drafted too?

 

2. The Saskatoon Wild went back to back winning the Founders Cup, what do you think their recipe for success was?

 

3. Miami has one player rostered for next season but a handful of picks. Do you think they can be a playoff team next season?

 

4. What is one idea you have that could contribute to a player having a better experience in the VHLM?

 

5. The MLB season is about the only major sport on TV right now, do you root for any teams? If so, who? If not, why not?

 

6. Tell me a bit about yourself, do you work or go to school? What’s your profession? High school or college?
