5. What is your favorite holiday dish?

6. What is your favorite holiday/special sporting event?

 

1. Hoping to maybe hit the net with more than 50% of my shots this time. But overall I hope that we can build on our Specials teams success from the first game. It was a close game and as long as we keep up the special teams we should get a W in a lot of the close games this season. #DroppingTheSpecialAnchor

 

2. Overall I was pretty pleased. Just hoping to show coach he can count on me and give me some more minutes. But +4 possession is about the best opener I could hope for.

 

3. Looking to develop as much as humanly possible. I want to show Miami I'm here to play. Another personal goal is to lead the team in takeaways at the end of the season. But with Mia Khalifa as my D partner, it's going to be tough. Man does she catch a lot of D...

 

4. His hair, obviously...

 

5. This is my first year in the states so not sure. But I did find the lack of suspicious raw fish somewhat disturbing. Had some pretty nice pumpkin pie though.

 

6. As a non-murrikan I'm not entirely sure what to make of the question. But a traditional Swedish holiday sporting event is a race to see who can pass out drinking first. So I'll go with that, hope it answers the question!

1) Of course that's a tough lost but I believe that we'll be able to move on from that and take the next game !

2) Well I think I played pretty well even if we fell a litle bit short. I still have some flaws but I'll work on them.

3) I hope that we will go far in the playoffs.
4) I'm not american but I'm very thankful for being able to play hockey.
5) Turkey is a no brainer for me.
6) NFL games for sure !

[Goonie77 1]

1. I don't think I played in the Opener.

2. If I did play, I would focus on defense.

3. Winning a Championship Title.

4. Support from Family and Friends.

6. Is there any team that has surprised you throughout this season?

1. It's been a mixed bag really. But the overall trend in my possession game has been positive. Still really need to work on those giveaways though. Been applying some Clue Glue™ to my stick and it appears to have really upped my passing game over night!

 

2. As mentioned above, I have to get those turnovers out of my game. The first pass is so important nowadays. But now that I've added Clue Glue™ to elevate my game. I'm going to start working on my edge work and give my green biscuit a nice workout too!

 

3. Not to point any fingers. But a SV% over 80% would be pretty neat. #DroppingTheGAA

 

4. We're a young team and I'm seeing improvements in practice every day. As long as we keep giving it our all, anything is possible.

 

5. Ottawa, no doubt. That roster is more stacked than my D partner!

 

6. I mean honestly I expected Halifax to be doing way better. Looking at their roster I was expecting them to be right behind Ottawa. But I guess they hit a wall going up against @Collusion

Exactly. Your performance in Game 3 (for them) made them go from 1-1 in the first two to 1-7 in the next 8. Sounds like you did some real damage to them. Just wall things, I guess.

1. Looking at it we didn’t do that well.

2. Definitely putting some TPE in reaction time and hand speed it looks like they are the best two attributes 

3. Trying not to allow as much shots on the goal and getting more shots on offense.

4. Looking at some of the other squads I’m not sure we will have to wait.

5. Ottawa looks like they can be some trouble.

6. I’m gonna be honest, but I thought Halifax would be better then they are right now.

5. How has your time in Miami been?
6. What teammate do you think has the best chance of having a great career in the VHL?

1. My main tactic is to get into the team supplies and apply Clue Glue™ to everyone's sticks. It has to be done! #TeamClue @MubbleFubbles

 

2. I'm not saying Clue Glue™ having been applied to all their sticks was the ONLY reason we turned it around, but it sure helped! The other huge thing is that Ben Dahl is back on the top of his game @Nothing but goals has been amazing between the pipes!

 

3. As long as we can get our special teams up in that combined 100%ish sweet spot I think the sky is the limit. It's a long season, and I'm excited to do everything possible to get us into the playoffs! (except learning how to shoot)

 

4. As long as Halifax keeps doing @JardyB10 things I think we have a real shot at climbing up there. But we might need a lot of favors from a lot of teams to get in there.

 

5. Had tonnes of space to grow, with the near limitless ice time. But my fellow dmen have seemed a bit out of it lately. I feel like I'm losing them, don't get me wrong. I like D-bots as much as the next guy. But I'm going to miss the rivalry with Mia.

 

6. I'd prefer not comments. It's not really my place. But what I will say is that given the right circumstances I think they all could have solid careers.

1. Thankfully that’s been changing but I don’t think that our backup goalie was helping us I’ll say.

2.It’s good maybe it can be a start of a roll.

3.Yeah who knows maybe we can go on a streak and outperform the statistics 

4. Hafliax for sure I think we’re matched up In talent depends how the sims go. 
5. Pretty fun everyone’s nice and chill and I’ve been having a good time.

6. I think anyone on our team can have a good career but @Shindigsespcially the fact he’s won 3 days on joining like 20 days ago its crazy, he’s definitely a popular one.

1. Yeah, I talked to the boys (and the divine entity) a bit. Mostly the divine entity, really. Also had some small forum interactions with them on their workdays. Looking forward to seeing what we can do on the ice together.

 

2. I mean Mia is still kind of spanking Bo in the defensive end. But through some miracle (read: Clue Glue™) he has developed hands and is 2nd in point on the team. So that's a positive, I guess?

 

3. Absolutely. I mean it is what you make it, and there are so many awesome members and storylines going on here at all times. Also Velociraptor mods, so that's pretty rare.

 

4. If we can get any kind of consistency going we certainly have showed that on our good days we can beat anyone, as long as anyone is in the bottom half of the standings. So with a little luck, anything is possible!

 

5. Working hard for each other. Having each others backs and reaching goals together. When you can work together and become more than the sum of its parts. That's what it's all about for me.

 

6. I used to play hockey until I was 16. Then double achilles tendon inflammation that lead to me being unable to walk for a year, then a grade 3 SLAP tear in my right shoulder, into muscle inflammation in both knees partially rotting out my kneecaps. So my body kinda sucks. But I'm finally back to working out regularly now so that's really got me feeling great! For watching it's pretty much all hockey. At some points I've followed E-Sports too. But the meta always gets stale at some point, which is when I usually peace out and forget to return.

2. I think he's going to do fine? I have to improve a lot. I am happy I guess?
3. So far I am, but I've only been here 40 minutes or so at the time of writing.
4. Yes, there's no doubt any more, now  that Hockley Mann has joined.
5. The Fanbase, usually Canadians unite over one sports team if it's the only sports team in Canada, but for Hockey? It's a free for all.

1. I'm doing pretty well, 

2. I think he's doing decently, I'm happy but keen to see him improve

3. For the most part, the TPE tasks seem a bit daunting at first as I'm not really creative/confident.

4. Absolutely. 

5. Watching Marc-André Fleury, I miss him as a pen, but i love seeing that grin and how contagious his positivity is on a team.

6. Not really, I kick around the footy sometimes (AFL) but mostly watch the NHL and some esports.

It’s true! I just record myself rambling incoherently for as long as I need to, it’s great.

 

I remember feeling the exact same way when I joined though. I wasn’t even confident enough to post casually because I was afraid of Internet culture and getting bullied (this was almost 12 years ago mind you). Also PTs used to be graded so there was the pressure of it having to be “good enough” to boot. So I can wasn’t really active with anything for at least a month.

 

It’s truly not all that scary though. Start with something simple and familiar, you can spend 500 words talking about nearly anything. Spend 100 words on how exactly your player brushes their teeth before getting into how their first game went. The spelling and grammar doesn’t really matter. 
 

Lots of people might not see or read it. But those that do will be absolutely amped to see a new member getting them TPE! It doesn’t matter if you don’t feel confident in your work, points are points! And it will never be as bad as you think
