[Doomsday 4,141]

Season 97 looms!

You ONLY have to answer six of the eight questions!

WEEK OF DECEMBER 16th TO 22nd

 

1. Season 96 didn't end the way we wanted it to, but Carson Walker Jr. @Cwalker, Toby Kadachi @ROOKIE745 represent some significant changes to the roster. What do these two bring to the Phoenix that was lacking last season?

 

2. Rookie defenseman Boris Bone-Breaker @RileyL will be making his VHL debut in Season 97! What do you think the 6'6, 238 pound giant can bring to Chicago's blue line?

 

3. During the S97 VHL Entry Draft, Chicago selected their goaltender of the future in Dr. Victor von Doom @Garsh, along with forward Avery Acres @Bravebulldogs. With the focus on delivering a Continental Cup in S97, the Phoenix were still able to address their biggest need with Ryan Artyomov @Enorama nearing retirement. What advice to you have to the newest members to the organization?

 

4. Season 100 is just around the corner, what does that milestone mean to you?

 

5. Who is the most exciting player to watch on your favorite NHL team?

 

6. Winter is coming - what's the right temperature to have the thermostat at?

 

7. Chances are if you're a member of the VHL, you're a fan of hockey. Have you have actually played it?

 

8. Fantasy Football is huge these days, but have you ever played fantasy hockey? If so, what did you think of it?

Sometimes shaking up the chemistry on the team can do wonders! Hope the newcomers help us work together as an even stronger unit!
 

2. Rookie defenseman Boris Bone-Breaker @RileyL will be making his VHL debut in Season 97! What do you think the 6'6, 238 pound giant can bring to Chicago's blue line?

Some solid defensive play that can cause turnovers for our team to capitalize on!

Just staying consistent in TPE earning goes a long way to making an impact in the big leagues.

 

6. Winter is coming - what's the right temperature to have the thermostat at?

I usually keep mine around 21 degrees celcius
 

7. Chances are if you're a member of the VHL, you're a fan of hockey. Have you have actually played it?

Yes I played hockey until around the age of 18 at a decent level!
 

8. Fantasy Football is huge these days, but have you ever played fantasy hockey? If so, what did you think of it?
I'm in a fantasy hockey league with some sim league friends that we renew annually for a while now. Fun to check in every now and then on it!

1. Season 96 didn't end the way we wanted it to, but Carson Walker Jr. , Toby Kadachi  represent some significant changes to the roster. What do these two bring to the Phoenix that was lacking last season?

Both players have some seasons under their belt, I'm sure their experiences will be be useful for the team.

 

2. Rookie defenseman Boris Bone-Breaker  will be making his VHL debut in Season 97! What do you think the 6'6, 238 pound giant can bring to Chicago's blue line?

Good positioning and checking should make them an intimidating presence on the blue line.  Someone who won't take shit from the other team.

 

3. During the S97 VHL Entry Draft, Chicago selected their goaltender of the future in Dr. Victor von Doom , along with forward Avery Acres . With the focus on delivering a Continental Cup in S97, the Phoenix were still able to address their biggest need with Ryan Artyomov nearing retirement.

Just take it one game at a time, no one is perfect and its going to take time to get your legs so to speak.

 

6. Winter is coming - what's the right temperature to have the thermostat at?

I usually keep it between 65-67.

 

7. Chances are if you're a member of the VHL, you're a fan of hockey. Have you have actually played it?

Kind of but not really.  There was a roller hockey rink set up a park near where I grew up, so a few friends and I messed around.  Some 2 on 2 with a neutral goalie setup haha.

 

8. Fantasy Football is huge these days, but have you ever played fantasy hockey? If so, what did you think of it?

Played a few seasons of it in college.  It was fine, but it was something I had to adjust every day which I don't really feel like doing anymore.  Maybe there are setups that accommodate that.
