Chicago Phoenix Press Conference

[Velevra 312]

1: What is one team that missed the playoffs this season in the VHL that you think will make it this time around and why?

Maybe Davos or Calgary? Davos since I think London might be retooling a bit and CGY almost made it last season.
 

2: Who do you think is going to go first overall in the VHL draft and why?

I probably would have guessed Eagles since he had the most TPE and I see I would have been wrong

3: What are your expectations for your player this season?

Hitting the point per game mark again hopefully and help the team make a solid playoff run by playing good defensively.

 

4: Would you rather win a Stanley Cup or win an Olympic Gold Medal and why?
That's a tough one, maybe the Olympic gold since you get less chances at that over your career.

5: Where do you think the Chicago Phoenix are going to finish in the standings next season and why?

1st place, got to aim high right and I think we have developed more than last season.
 

6: Who would you consider our rivals in the VHL?

Maybe Seattle since they knocked us out this past season in the playoffs.

1: I think the safest bet would be Calgary. They were competing for a playoff spot the entire season and they look the strongest on paper out of the teams that missed.

 

2: I would've went with Roger Eagles. They look very skilled and I wouldn't be surprised if they win rookie of the year.

 

3: I think I've made a lot of improvements to my game. I'm hoping to go positive and have around the same amount of points. Maybe somewhere between 70-90

 

4: Stanley Cup. Your name is on a trophy alongside legends of the sport and it's more likely people will know your name in 10+ years.

 

5: I think around the same place. 3rd in our conference seems like a safe bet, we made some decent improvements but we have some tough teams to compete with.

 

7: I think Vancouver will be at the top of the standings. They have a great goaltender and are the most rounded teams in general.

8: Have you played the new College Football game that came out? If so, what is your favorite part about the game?

 

1. I think Davos will be the most improved team this season, as all those top picks have been developing nicely. They've also begun trading draft capital for missing pieces, so this is a team reading to start contending in the European Conference. 

 

2. Roger Eagles was the consensus top choice, but Calgary certainly didn't see it that way, opting for Spider Panda and a friend in Ricer. Either way, they were getting a top-tier goalie for their future. 

 

3. After a second team All-VHL nod, I'd love to see Oven be more consistent this season. There were numerous stretches where he went cold, and I feel like he could be more involved with setting up his teammates as well. 

 

4. I'd have to go with the Stanley Cup, the toughest trophy to win in all of sports. Ending a team's drought and having your named engraved into immortality is too much to pass up. 

 

6. I think the teams we competed the hardest against were definitely Seattle and Calgary, and they were also teams we hated to lose to. I'd say they make the most sense as our rivals. 

 

8. Besides the usual grind of building a small school into a powerhouse, the addition of the famed Whiteout absolutely geeks me out as a Penn State fan!

1: I didn't but I saw some of the highlights. Mainly the shooting competition and the break dancing...Definitely caught my eye.

 

2: I am. Usually our hot Streaks start later in the season but it's nice to have a good start.

 

3: I think Colorado or Anaheim will take a chance on him. MacKinnon could bring put the Laine we used to know.

 

4: I think the new York Americans are a safe bet. They are right behind us in the standings and look solid on paper.

 

5: I believe so. 10 assists in 10 games is pretty solid. Of course I'd like more, but if I continue at this pace I'll be happy.

 

7: oddly enough. New York. They're gonna be tough but if we prove we can beat them then we should be a playoff favorite. Plus I like playing against Janser.

[Velevra 312]

1: Did you watch any of the Olympics? If so, which event did you watch the most? If not, which event would you like to watch in the future?

Caught some of it, followed basketball and soccer the most and watched highlights from a bunch of the other sports!
 

2: Are you surprised with our start to the season? Why or why not?

I would say a little surprised, I expected us to be strong but not so strong to shoot up to first in the conference right away.

 

4: Which team in NA do you think will give us the hardest time and why?

I think Toronto and New York have pretty solid rosters we should keep an eye out for this season.

5: Has your player started the season how you wanted to? Why or why not?

Pretty happy so far! My build is more oriented towards team success than individual stats but some of the stats like a good amount of shot blocks and being at a point per game are nice to see.

 

6: What is one area you think that your player could improve in and why?

I think I'm pretty close to what my max build will be and then the focus will be on retaining the talent through the regression years. So just slight improvements to DF/PH/SC left
 

7: Which team do you want to play the most this season and why?

Playing Moscow who are the defending champs would be fun. Should be a good test!

2. I knew we were capable of being this great, but it has been about as perfect of a start as I could have hoped for. But we need to maintain this pace for it to have meant anything. 

 

3. I guess anyone who wants an overrated forward that can't/refuses to play defense and whines/complains about coaches can have him. 

 

4. Seattle is a team that can never be truly counted out unless they themselves throw in the towel. They've got a talented lineup through and through and when they're clicking, they're tough to stop. 

 

5. YaBoi has been very feast or famine so far. It's leading to some nice stats, but I'd prefer a more consistent approach on a game-to-game basis. Help win more games. 

 

7. I think the boys are always hyped to play Calgary as they're such important games for both teams. You can't afford to come out flat against a conference rival when you have playoff aspirations. 

 

8. NFL: Dallas Cowboys - FOR THE LOVE OF GOD JERRY, SIGN CEEDEE. PAY THE MAN HIS MONEY.

 

NCAA: Penn State Nittany Lions - Should be another fun year, hoping all the added competition to the B1G makes them a tougher team this season!

1. No. If I watched it would have been basketball.

 

3. Maybe Montreal, get another elite goal scorer when healthy.

 

5. In the VHLE I would say yes, I was hoping for high hitting number and shot blocking numbers.

 

6. He could improve on his discipline and offence.

 

7. In the VHLE it has to be Bratislava because they are at the top of the league.

 

8. Ya, I was planning on getting into it this season. For some reason I also liked the Texans.

Excited for the new additions, happy to give them a tour around the city and get them nice and comfortable!

 

2. The Chicago Phoenix once again have an AGM, with Doomsday stepping into the role after the folding of the VHLE. On a scale of 0 to 10, how terrible of a decision was this for Cole to make?

I would go with 0, it's a fantastic decision and not terrible at all. Doomsday is great and I'm sure Cole appreciates the support!

 

3. Speaking of the folding of the VHLE, what are your thoughts on that?

I was probably more pro-VHLE than most. Liked the concept of going through another draft, moving up to another new team in between the VHL and VHLM levels.
 

4. The Utah Hockey Club is set to play their very first NHL game this week. How do you expect things to go for this new franchise?

I wish them success, they might be able to compete for a wild card spot off the top of my head but you never know.
 

5. On the heels of Vanderbilt defeating #1 ranked Alabama, what is your all-time favorite upset in sports?

Do e-sports count? If so I will go with Kabum over Alliance.
 

6. What is something you are passionate about that you feel is widely misunderstood?

The intricacies of the health care system

2. Probably the worst decision of all time.. we might be screwed now!

3. I felt like it ran it's course, but it was necessary for the time being. I hope it can come back one day.

4. I think they could make the playoffs honestly. They've got a decent team and with no stress, they should be able to perform.

5. Iowa State upsetting Oklahoma State in 2011. Oklahoma State was 10-0 and rank 2. Crazy win!

6. The Sabres making the playoffs! Even though we're 1-3 I still believe we can. But we'll probably miss somehow.

8. 7/11 as it's the closest to me. I only really go there for the slurpees.

1. After what feels like an eternity, Season 96 is finally here! After coming up just short of reaching the Continental Cup Finals in Season 95, how will Chicago fare this time?

2. What member of the Phoenix is poised for a breakout season?

I think Lionel Collberg will put up some decent points this season
 

3. What prospect will make a big impact for Chicago soon?

I steal the aux and pump some backstreet boys!
 

8. How has the NHL season treated your team so far?
Slow start for the Canucks but plenty of time to get things going. My second team the Flames are doing surprisingly well though.

I think we have had some fantastic goaltender so far which has been key to the hot start.

 

2. Who is the MVP of this team so far?

In line with the previous question I have to give it to Ryan Artyomov who is shutting the door.
 

3. In your opinion, what is the biggest surprise of the VHL standings so far?

Nothing too surprising for me so far, maybe Toronto being lower than expected.

 

5. What are some items that you think could really spice up the VHL Player Store?

Temporary TPE boosts for like hot streaks. Buy an additional 50 TPE that lasts for 5-10 games!

I have been enjoying Apple Crisp Macchiatos so far this fall.

8. What is your favorite aspect of sim leagues?
Watching my player grow / the journey over his career and being part of a franchise's success

 

[badcolethetitan 921]

Answers

 

1. I think a lot of teams last season have gotten weaker and we've basically stayed around the same, hence making this a great start.

2. Ryan Artyomov. He's been fantastic and without him, we would be able to win some of our games.

3. I think Toronto. I don't think people expected them to be barely .500 and floating towards a wildcard spot.

6. Kickstart my Heart by Motley Crue. Banger song and I think it would fit well.

7. Pumpkin Pie. I always have it at thanksgiving and it's the only time in the year I eat it.

8. Meeting new members and community. I feel like in this community, you could basically talk to anyone and they'd listen.

1: Gotta give the Goalie some love. Ryan has been exactly what we've needed.

 

2: Don't want to say the same player twice so I'll go with Joshua Shwarzer. Leading Chicago in points.

 

3: Toronto falling off as hard as they have.

Looks like we still drop some games giving up to many goals. Have to make sure the team isn't making careless mistakes like that!
 

2. If you had to fight for your life against any VHL mascot, which one could you beat and why?

I'm not sure what all the mascots are. Maybe the NY Americans, is there mascot just an average american? Seems easier than a dragon or something
 

3. Spanish Moon Moth has 11 more points than the next closest player, along with a game in hand. Is he a lock for the Scotty Campbell Trophy?

Still plenty of season left but if he can keep up the pace (hope he will!) he should be a lock
 

4. What's the best celly in all of sports?

The opposing team bench stare down.
 

5. In the PBE, there is a baseball team on the moon. How long do you think it would take for that to be possible in real life?

I'm not sure it will ever happen logistically. Think of the transportation costs for such a team I guess if the Moon was colonized it could maybe have it's own league after all the other priorities were met. 100 years perhaps?

 

8. Vacation time! Camping in the woods, going to the beach, or skiing/snowboarding in the mountains?
I am rather partial to skiing in the mountains myself.

1. I think we need to be able to have better starts. Sometimes we immediately fall behind and it's almost impossible to get out of a hole like that.

2. Probably NYA. Their mascot is an American, so I feel like I might have a fair shot?

3. Yes. They've had an exceptional season and hopefully they can take home the trophy!

4. Bow and Arrow cele. I've used it a couple times.

6. I guess for the Sabres probably making it to the finals? If it was for myself personally, winning the championship in high school hockey.

8. I would go to the beach. I just want to relax in the sun!

I might pull a McDavid in the locker room and tell the team to DIG IN!! RIGHT NOW!!
 

2. Goaltender Ryan Artyomov is the only player on the roster under contract beyond Season 96, do you see big changes coming from the Phoenix in Season 97?

I guess that will depend on Cole's vision for the future and what the market looks like. Think a lot of guys myself included are okay with re-signing on 1 season deals like we have done previously so I'm not personally worried.
 

3. What's a song you really enjoy listening to, but might take flak for admitting to enjoying it?

Baby Shark doo doo doo doo, Baby Shark doo doo doo doo.....
 

4. What is your favorite mascot in all of sports?

Gritty is pretty hilarious in my opinion!
 

5. Season 100 is just around the corner, how big of a deal do you think it will be for the VHL?

A pretty amazing accomplishment that shows the great leadership the league has had over the years!

 

8. What is your favorite aspect of being on the Phoenix?
Think we have a pretty chill and cool group of guys on the team which is awesome. No drama!
