1: Spanish Moon Moth. I think they won't regret signing with us and are going to go off this season.

 

2: A little late but I'd like to fight that Callum Janser guy.

 

3: Legacy Gaming. He's been here for a decent amount of time and has put up multiple 30+ goal seasons even when we were bad.

 

4: Igor Shesterkin. I still believe Rangers will win the cup and Igor is rocking a 0.927SV%

 

7: I like the Utah Yeti. It's 8 letters and could have some nice branding if done right.

 

8: I listen to a pretty wide variety but if I had to choose one I'd go with Punk.

[Renomitsu 934]

1: Who is one player on Chicago (besides your own) that you think is going to have a good season and why?

Lionel Colberg! He's one of our alternate captains and doesn't quite get enough support despite being an already-accomplished player in his few seasons.

 

2: Is there any player you would like to call out before the season starts on another team? Start the trash talking!

Yeah! @Doomsday I'm calling you out! You're too awesome to be here, get outta here

3: Who is going to be the most underrated player on Chicago (besides your own) and why?

Our very own @DankTurtle. He's an elite center who just so happens to be playing second line because I'm a free agent signing, and I'm hoping he doesn't get less consideration for awards because of his line. Let him cook.

 

4: Who do you think is going to win playoff MVP in the NHL and why?

I don't know any players in the NHL really (I don't follow hockey, if you can believe it), so I guess that Connor McDavid guy.

5: How do you like to spend your free time?

A little bit of gaming and playing music, for the most part. I also really enjoy reading a variety of genres.

6: What is one team in the VHL you're looking forward to playing and why?

The Calgary Wranglers. They've been blessed by the sim and somehow turned up to a 28% successful goal percentage on their shots in our one game, so like... huh?

8: Who is the best team in the VHL in your eyes right now and why(not Chicago)? If you're in the E or M, who's the best team in your league currently? Why is that?

 

1. We are rolling along just as expected, although perhaps not in the way we expected it to happen. Our offense has been fantastic, but we need to help out Artyomov by clamping down on high percentage opportunities. It's still early, but we have laid a great foundation for us to be even better. We just need to seize this opportunity and keep going.

 

2. Gettysburg has always been a home away from home, and it is definitely my dream destination for retirement. It's such a special place, steeped with history. I've always believed that the indescribable calm and peacefulness of Gettysburg was paid for with the blood of those who fell there, and it's something you'll never forget once you've experienced it.

 

3. STHS always has a way of evening things out. It's a great start to the season, but statistics show that it is an unsustainable one. Don't get me wrong, Calgary has a quality team, but they're not going undefeated to the Continental Cup.

 

4. What, is the Eastern Conference already eliminated? Bummer. Anyway, gimme the Panthers.

 

6. Francesco Mancini is carrying this offense, even with half of the skaters on the roster averaging a point per game, he has been the clear standout.

 

7. I would love to be fluent in German, the language of my people.

[Velevra 312]

1: We're now 10 games into the season and sit at 7-3-0. Is this something you expected, or not? If you're in the E or M, how's your team doing?

Happy with the start, I thought we would be a solid team this year and I think the strength of schedule has been good so I will say it's expected.
 

2: Do you have a dream location you'd like to live in the future? If so, what is it and why? 
Pretty happy where I am currently but maybe Vancouver would be cool if it was more affordable.

3: What do you think about the Calgary Wranglers win streak? Do you think they'll make the playoffs, or are they going to fall off?

Solid win streak for them. I imagine they will fall off but if they keep things going could definitely still find a playoff spot.
 

4: Who do you have winning the Stanley Cup, the Stars or the Oilers? Why?
Well since the Stars are eliminated I have to go with the Oilers. Will probably be a close series though.

5: Who do you think is going to get the playoff MVP for the NHL? Do you think it will be a hard decision, or very easy?

Probably has to be McDavid as an easy decision if Edmonton wins.

6: Who do you think has been the best player on the team so far and why? If you're in the E or M, who's been the best player on your team and why?

I will go with YaBoi Oven. 17 points so far with good other stats showing a strong two-way game.

1: Rough Sim today but I think this team is a top team, it didn’t surprise me much that we had a hot start to the season. 

 

3: Maybe they didn't have the toughest opponents but I think Calgary will make it to the post season.

 

4: Panthers* They are a more physical team and have better depth imo.

 

5: Zach Hyman. There's gonna be a lot of debate but I think they'll give him something for his crazy post season, knowing he may never do it again.

 

6: How can you not pick Mancini? He's leading the team in points by a decent margin.

 

8: Triller has been crazy consistent and near the top of the scoring for many seasons in a row. I didn't look Who other people picked but I wouldn't be surprised if I'm the only one to pick him.

[Renomitsu 934]

1: We're now 10 games into the season and sit at 7-3-0. Is this something you expected, or not? If you're in the E or M, how's your team doing?

Well, we're unfortunately in a bit of a rut these last few games. I was hoping we would continue our run on high quality wins but the sim hasn't been our friend the last 3-4 days. I expect we'll bounce back.

 

2: Do you have a dream location you'd like to live in the future? If so, what is it and why? 

Actually, I'm strongly considering living in Chicago or coming back to Charlotte after fellowship. I'm headed to Philly in just a few weeks and am also considering there as it's rather close to home and the program for my soon-to-start fellowship is world class. It's also a bit closer to home for me, so we'll have to see what I decide on.

3: What do you think about the Calgary Wranglers win streak? Do you think they'll make the playoffs, or are they going to fall off?

I think they'll probably make the playoffs but won't have quite the strong streak they've had to start the season.

 

4: Who do you have winning the Stanley Cup, the Stars or the Oilers? Why?

I thought it was the Panthers, who I think will win the cup. I don't know anything about the NHL though so my guess is completely uneducated.

5: Who do you think is going to get the playoff MVP for the NHL? Do you think it will be a hard decision, or very easy?

Connor Mc-whositwhatsit if the Oilers win. I've been hearing too much about him for that not to be the case if the Oilers get it done.

 

7: Do you speak any other languages? If not, is there a specific language you'd like to learn?

Yep! I speak Spanish and can sign (ASL) on a basic level. I would also like to learn either Arabic or French most likely next.

1: I'm thinking 9th in the standings, 4th in the conference.

 

2: No. It's going to end in Heartbreak because McDavid will likely be targeted and injured in game 6 or 7.

 

3: Collberg has been doing alright but I was expecting a better season than last. Maybe I'll finish strong.

 

5: I think Seattle Bears will be the team to end our playoff run. They look very good and I think the Phoenix will be unfortunately matched up against them at some point in the post-season.

 

6: I think the Panthers had the 3-0 lead and just eased up on the Oilers. Even if they didn't know it, they haven't been the same team and Bobrovsky isn't clutching for them. I think he'll have a solid game 6 or 7 to end out the series.

 

8: I think Chicago will end the season strong. I've been betting on Artyomov all season and I believe he'll dominate in some upcoming games.

[chikn 130]

Quote

1: Where do you think the Chicago Phoenix will finish in the standings?

Not really sure, but if I had to guess I think I'd say 4th or 5th.

 

2: Do you think the Oilers can pull off the comeback? Why or why not?

Yes! I want the oilers to win so that's why

3: Has you player been playing up to expectations? Why or why not?

My player is actually doing better then I thought. I haven't been earning that much tpe so I didn't expect my player to be doing as good as they are.

 

4: Have you gone to a fancy restaurant lately? If not, are you planning on going to one?

I'm not sure if its considered "fancy", but the last restaurant I went to was Spicy Thai. 

5: What team do you think has the best chance to beat the Chicago Phoenix and why?

6: Why do you think the Panthers are struggling right now? Is it going to be their downfall?

McDavid remembered to eat his wheaties so he is destroying everyone, so that's why the panthers are struggling. Yes, McDavid will be the Panthers downfall.

 

7: Which team out of CGY, VAN, and NYA do you see slipping down in the standings and why?

 

8: What do you expect out of the team and yourself the rest of the season moving forward?

I expect the team to play the best they can and not go down without a fight! for myself, im hoping that i can earn some more tpe and strengthen my player and score more goals!

8: What do you expect out of the team and yourself the rest of the season moving forward?

 

1. I personally don't think where we finish matters, as long as we make the playoffs, but I think we'll finish at least third and avoid the wild card round. 

 

3. I would say so... pretty identical offensive output to last season, but picking up the physical play in a big way here in Chicago. But the scary part is that I can be even better!

 

4. I really don't find fancy restaurants to be worth it. An exorbitant sum for tiny food? Nah, gimme the places where you can get great portions of even better food for an even better price every time. I'm simply not meant to be an elitist. 

 

5. The team with the best chance of beating the Chicago Phoenix is the Chicago Phoenix. If we play our game, focus, and soar to the best of our abilities, we are unmatched. 

 

7. Calgary was a bit emboldened by a hot start, but they have not resembled that team since. They are tumbling and with eight backup starts left to play, they're in a lot of trouble right now.

 

8. We are going to go on a tear, secure our ticket, and enter the playoffs playing our best hockey. In the true spirit of the Phoenix, we will rise and enter the next stage in a fiery blaze of power.

[UghSike 221]

 

 

 

 

Do you think the Oilers can pull off the comeback? Why or why not?

I don't think so. Yet, stranger things have happened. I think initially Florida had too much momentum going in.

 

Has your player been playing up to expectations? Why or why not?

No. I sorta lost sight and motivation from a significant personal experience for an uncomfortable length of time. I was hoping to consistently be active, but shit happens.

 

 Have you gone to a fancy restaurant lately? If not, are you planning on going to one?

I go to a fancy restaurant 6 days a week because I'm an executive chef. Outside of work, I just eat cereal and milk and ramen.

 

Why do you think the Panthers are struggling right now? Is it going to be their downfall?

It's a crazy series, and also very compelling. Maybe Edmonton has found their weak spot?

 

 Which team out of CGY, VAN, and NYA do you see slipping down in the standings and why?

Vancouver. Vancouver is the ghetto of Canada so it just seems appropriate.

 

 What do you expect out of the team and yourself the rest of the season moving forward?

I'm gradually making my way back and gaining some level of normalcy in my life. So, hopefully I'll be more of a contribution to the team. I've had a severely dis

appointing season.

1. WE ENDING UP NUMBER 1 BEST TEAM AROUND

2. Nah barkov sadly clears they will win in 7 or 6

3. My player has been tearing it up in the VHL and I can tell Mcsnipe will retain goat status in the big leagues

4. Sadly not but I will hopefully be eating at cactus club that place slaps.

5. Vancouver probably they are beasts under the radar.

6. Bobrovski hasnt been making as many big saves but he will get back to normal I know it.

 

[Renomitsu 934]

1: Where do you think the Chicago Phoenix will finish in the standings?

Frankly, I don't think we'll finish in the top three of our conference - we just haven't been consistent enough. We have some good wins, but the persistent success I expect from a team that'll end with home ice just isn't there.

 

2: Do you think the Oilers can pull off the comeback? Why or why not?

Yep, it's 3-3 now and effectively a best of one with all of the momentum in favor of the Oilers.

3: Has you player been playing up to expectations? Why or why not?

I don't think so. Wanted to be well over a point per game but I'm not sniffing anywhere close to the top ten in points.

 

4: Have you gone to a fancy restaurant lately? If not, are you planning on going to one?

Nope. I'm paying off my loans completely then celebrating after.

5: What team do you think has the best chance to beat the Chicago Phoenix and why?

Bleh, unfortunately Toronto or someone. We have a few teams that I think would defeat us in a series across the league, though we do at least have a chance against anyone.

6: Why do you think the Panthers are struggling right now? Is it going to be their downfall?

I mean, they're now without any momentum whatsoever and probably got a little complacent without the necessary mental fortitude to handle the series appropriately. It'll set them back more than just this season if they lose the finals.

[Velevra 312]

1: Where do you think the Chicago Phoenix will finish in the standings?

Looks like we are 6th in NA right now, 6 points back. Hopefully we can have a good end of the season run and finish 5th.
 

2: Do you think the Oilers can pull off the comeback? Why or why not?

Sure they can, all aboard the hype train!

3: Has you player been playing up to expectations? Why or why not?

Pretty happy with my player's individual performance, solid defensively and should easily hit a point per game. Wish it translated to more team success.
 

4: Have you gone to a fancy restaurant lately? If not, are you planning on going to one?

Went to a nice one in Banff earlier this year which was quite lovely.

5: What team do you think has the best chance to beat the Chicago Phoenix and why?

Toronto and London seem to be the two powerhouses at the top of the conference right now.

 

8: What do you expect out of the team and yourself the rest of the season moving forward?
Hopefully we can be more consistent, win the games we are supposed to, and get some more puck luck. Hope Schwarzer can have a solid end to the season.

2: I've been playing the Valorant beta on Xbox with my friends. I'm not great at it but I enjoy it so far.

 

4: I hope the Toronto Maple Leafs draft a defensive prospect with the 23rd overall pick. I've seen a mock draft where they get EJ Emery and I'm okay with that.

 

5: Let’s go with Seattle. They are the reigning Champs and are having a strong season, no reason to doubt them.

 

6: Yes. McDavid was easily the best playoff player this season and if it wasn't for him, his team would've never been in the finals or even have come close to forcing game 7.

 

7: I don't know about blockbuster. But Laine is gonna be on the move, maybe Clayton Keller unless he wants to see what Utah is like.

 

8: Onion. They bring a unique texture to food and a decent flavor. Plus, Onion Rings are god-tier.

[chikn 130]

2: What's the last video game you played? Did you like the game or not?

The last video game I played is Mario maker and of course I liked it because who doesn't love to play a classic Mario game?

 

4: What do you hope your favorite NHL team does during the draft and why?

I don't really know what they should have done during the draft but they definitely shouldn't have traded away their first round pick

5: If you had to pick a team to win the cup right now (besides Chicago) who would it be and why? (VHL)

I would choose Vancouver to win the cup because it would be nice to see a Canadian team win.

6: Do you think Connor McDavid winning the Conn Smythe was the right choice? Why or why not?

Ya I think has a great player who deserves to win the Conn Smythe.

 

7: Do you think there will be a blockbuster trade in the NHL before the draft? Why or why not?

Well we already know that before the draft Ullmark moved to Ottawa. I don't know if that really counts but its definitely sad to see him not playing with Swayman anymore.

 

8: What is your favorite vegetable and why?

My favourite vegetable is a potato because they are yummy and versatile.

3: The Chicago Phoenix are currently out of a playoff spot right now. What do we need to do in our last twenty or so games to make it in specifically?

 

4: What do you hope your favorite NHL team does during the draft and why?

5: If you had to pick a team to win the cup right now (besides Chicago) who would it be and why? (VHL)

6: Do you think Connor McDavid winning the Conn Smythe was the right choice? Why or why not?

 

7: Do you think there will be a blockbuster trade in the NHL before the draft? Why or why not?

 

8: What is your favorite vegetable and why?

 

1. STHS seems to... strongly dislike Ryan Artyomov. He does not have Simon's favor this season. If we manage to figure out why Simon is so displeased with Ryan... watch out, VHL.

 

2. MLB The Show 24, I am very much enjoying Road To the Show right now. Made it up to the major leagues in Season Two and in the midst of a playoff push!

 

3. We just need to dig deep and thug it out. We have the tools, the talent, everything we need. We just need to want it and make it happen. 

 

4. The Philadelphia Flyers pretty much did what I didn't want them to and reached for need instead of drafting for value. They left some players on the board that I felt were better options. 

 

6. Yes, it was. He was the single best player during the playoffs, even if he didn't lift the Cup. If the Panthers finish the sweep, it probably would've gone to Bob, but he got roughed up a bit in those three losses. 

 

8. I love carrots, even if they actually don't really improve your eyesight. Raw, cooked, they're delicious, but they're the best when they're part of a roast!

1: I wanna play against New York Americans and play in a series with Callum Janser.

 

3: I am! It's another step forward in point production. Of course I'd like a better +/- but I'm happy.

 

4: Stronger without a doubt. The bracket in the EU has been pretty much the same for a while. In the NA we got teams still fighting for a spot.

 

5: If not Chicago than New York is gonna be a dark horse for sure. Solid Goaltending from WWWW, some deadly forwards and defenders like Callum.

 

7: We got Oliver Ekman-Larsson...For four years. He was awful last time he was on a Canadian team so I'm not hype.

 

8: Despite previously having an 100 point season, Mancini could make a case for most improved player.

1. By the way things are going i would say Seattle.

2. Hanging out with friends its just the best especially with school done.

3. Well I haven't been called up yet but Mcsnipe is very successful in the training room and the Minor leagues.

4. NA ontop we are the best conf 100%

5. Toronto is the goat and mooner owns that team so yeah them.

6. Not specifically

7. JAKE DEBRUSK MY GLORIOUS KING

1: Who do you think we're going to play in the first round, should we make it?

I probably would have guessed New York or Vancouver at the start of the week but we have a nice surprise in Seattle!
 

2: What is your favorite summer activity and why?

Summer BBQing is pretty lit and then making smores on the fire

3: Are you happy with your players success this season so far? There aren't many games left, so if you aren't, is there something you want to achieve in the 5 games left?

Definitely happy with my player's season. Think I played a big role in the team's success on both ends of the ice
 

4: Do you think the NA Conference is stronger or weaker than the EU Conference this year? Why?

NA is stronger overall in my opinion we had 6 competitive teams compared to 5 this season.

5: Which team is going to be a surprise come playoff time (not the Chicago Phoenix) and why?

If I'm not picking the top dogs, I would say Vancouver in NA and Moscow in EU. Think on paper they are strong defensive teams which are important in the playoffs
 

6: Are you doing anything fun to celebrate Canada Day/Fourth of July? 

Spent some time with friends and family but was low-key overall!

8: Which player on the Chicago Phoenix do you think has the best chance to take home an award this season and why?

 

1. Finishing in third kind of answered that one for us, on to Seattle!

 

2. Swimming, whether it's in the pool or the ocean, is the quintessential summer activity! 

 

3. It ended up being a great season! My assists were down, but my hits were up and Oven was dangerous on more than just the power play this season. 

 

4. I mean, I thought it was pretty even. The five EU playoff teams were evident all season, but Calgary wouldn't have been a playoff team in the EU anyway. Overall, it's a wash. 

 

7. Nothing really huge, just depth moves/re-signings. Cap is tight for the Flyers and it's not going to be about this season for us anyway. 

 

8. Francesco Mancini was an absolute stud in the regular season and I can see him being a candidate for the Scotty Campbell Trophy for sure.
