Miami Marauders Press Conference

[Scurvy 1,542]

Miami Marauders Press Conference – Week of December 8, 2024

 

1.     We lost in the first round to a tough Mississauga team.  Since Miami is out, are you even paying attention to the playoffs now? If so, who do you want to win?

 

2.     The VHLM Dispersal draft is on the horizon.  We currently have a 2^nd round pick.  Anyone we should try to target?  Marauder alum Bazooka Joe is right around that area.  Should we target him?

 

3.     Who has the best player name on the club?  

 

4.     If Miami was forced to re-locate to another city.  Which city would you want?

 

5.     The off-season is tough, especially if you don’t make playoffs or are out early?  Do you think the VHL should offer a free week of 12 TPE during one week of the off-season to ease the pain of waiting?

 

6.     Since were out of the playoffs is your player golfing, partying, or hitting the gym in prep for next season?

1. Definitely watching the playoffs as I start to learn players and teams. Simon seems kind of random but it's fun to see the dice rolls.

2. Definitely. We know the good players
3. Elf Shoes - come on now!
4. Miami is so good, no tax, great sun, and night life - why move. Oh we were forced. Maybe Charlotte?
5. That would be great to pay the teams not fighting for the championship, but as they would say - just win then.

6. Starting with some golfing and then hitting the gym to get ready for the next season.

1. Yes it does feel good. Sharks were reversed swept a while ago, but luckily it was to the eventual champion, LA Kings. If Vlasic hadn't gotten hurt by a dirty hit.... I still remember who beat us
2. Yes I'm excited to try Pro-Am for the first time, feels like a big party
3. I do like the off-season tournament to engage in different ways. Otherwise your player's right are owned by one team. 
4. I just want to do whatever needed to win - build my players, engage with counting booty, chatting in LR. 
5. Jerry Maguire. But Caddyshack/Slap Shot/Bull Durham are memorable - I just need to go rewatch them
6. Apple pie - a little spice and whipped cream and crunchy crust. Yum.

1. I stopped paying attention as soon as Miami got eliminated.

 

2. I don't know enough about each player. I don't think Bazooka Joe would be a bad shout in all honesty.

 

3. I have to go with Don Jager.

 

4. Somewhere in Texas like Houston or Austin because there kinda just similar in many ways.

 

5. No because I don't think there should be an award for losing.

 

6. Boris is plotting for what he is going to do in the VHL.

1.     Mississauga Hounds won the Founder’s Cup.  Does it feel better that we lost to the eventual champs?  

 

Thanks for letting me crash your press conference.  I need the 2 tpe.  Im going to go with no, it doesnt feel better to lose to the eventual champs.  What would feel better is to beat the team that could have been the eventual champs.  

 

2.     Is your player participating in Pro-Am?  

 

Yes. Of course.  I’ll play anything to get through the slow rolling off season and the best part of this pro-am is that I get to crush Logan Ninefingers and Brian Payne in one game.  

 

3.     Do you like the off-season tournaments?  Do they help the time go by until the start of the season? Or are they boring?

 

The only thing that I dont really care for with the off-season tournaments is that its not as easy to find the results for me because I lack computer skills to do anything worth while.

 

4.     What is your player’s biggest strength that you bring to the club?

 

Right now my player’s biggest strength bringing to the Wolves is that my player knows how to skate away from a fight really fast and let someone else drop the gloves.  My player is such a pussy.

 

5.     What’s your favorite sports movie?

 

Oh, that’s tough….  There are so many good sports movies, Rudy, Bad News Bears, Little Big League, Remember the Titans, Fever Pitch, Goon, Mighty Ducks, Draft Day, Brian’s Song.  The list goes on…. But my favorite sports movie has got to be Youngblood.  Just cant get Miss McGilvery out of my head!!

 

6.     Do you prefer Pumkin pie or Apple pie? 

 

The only way that I would eat pumpkin pie is if I hadn’t eaten in a week, was starving to death, and had a gun to my head while being threatened to eat the pie or die.  So my answer is I prefer apple pie.  Apple pie is delicious and it reminds me of my Gram.

Miami Marauder Press Conference- Week of December 22, 2024

 

1.     How are you enjoying the off-season?  Is your player doing well in any off-season tournaments?

 

2.     The holiday charity campaign came out with some great prizes and some good TPE.  Are you participating?

 

3.     We lost two players we thought we were going to be able keep yesterday.  This makes the draft that much more important.  Is there any need you think Ricer should focus on drafting?

 

4.     Watching some drama this week in VHL discord channel. Do you think it’s acceptable for a player to demand to only be drafted by one team they want in VHL?  With every player they create?

 

5.     Alexandr Ovechkin is 27 goals away from Wayne Gretzky’s all time goal record of 894.  Do you think he can break it this season? 

 

6.     What is your preferred jersey number?

6.     What is your preferred jersey number? 

1. I'm doing the Pro-Am - there are a lot of passionate people having a lot of fun. I think it's great to see the personal investment people have with this community. 
2. Yeah - happy to donate and help VHL and others. Did a +1 to help out as well
3. Our D has been a weak spot - he's doing the best he can!
4. Nope - they should move on from VHL. If we allow this, then everybody will ask for it. 
5. I think he slows down but he and that team have defied expectations. Most power rankings have them #1 even without the Great 8.
6. #7 or #27 if 7 isn't available. #7 is not a typical number

Miami Marauder Press Conference- Week of December 29, 2024

 

1.     The Marauders were able to snag a gem of a player in Sidney Sheppard @goodleft at #12 spot in draft pretty much solidifying our offense.  We are left with 3 defenders now; do you think it will be enough or will we need to add a defender eventually?

 

2.     Are you staying home for the holidays or traveling?

 

3.     If you could pick one NHL player (past or present) to join the Marauders, who would it be?

 

4.     We lost to Mississauga in the playoffs last year and they went on to win it all.  Does this make them our most hated rival this season?

 

5.     Is the movie Die Hard considered a Christmas movie in your opinion?

 

6.     Marauder defensemen, Armas Jortikka @Kavadarand Don Jagr @koty_k are set to become the top two leaders in hits all-time in Miami.  Jortikka is 60 hits away from the top spot and Jagr is 121 away which both should easily hit.  Pretty remarkable feat.  What do you think the team should do to celebrate when they hit it?
