[Steve 1,925]

1. It's early in the season however thoughts so far?

We are heading in the right direction. The team has been playing good hockey.

 

2. what time has been the biggest surprise?

Getting 24 PIM in one game was a shocker.

 

3. what player on LA has been the biggest surprise?

I think the whole team steps up on any given night. Hard to pick just one.

 

4.  What's your post game routine?

Shower, eat, get some rest.

 

5. What's your food guilty pleasure?

Red meat. I love a good steak.

 

6. What's your preferred tape color for sticks?

5. what's more important: Highly talented scorers or good shut down defense?

 

6.  What is your lucky number?

1. We are in second place and it doesn’t surprise me because of how good our players are. We have strong defence and high end talent up front.

 

2. Probably just to be outgoing and having a positive attitude, just be someone people would like to talk to.

 

3. My go to hockey brand is Warrior. I always liked their sticks and gloves, the helmets are nice too.

 

4. My nhl comparison would probably be Timo Meier. Pretty decent offensively but will also check and play defence.

 

5. Good shutdown defence for sure. You can’t score goals if you can’t get to the net, defence wins.

 

6. number 13 has always been my lucky number.

[Steve 1,925]

1. LA is currently 2nd in our Conference. Does this surprise you?

We have the talent and have shown we can get it done. 

 

2.  What is the most important trait of a good LR guy?

Just being active is really all it takes. 

 

3. What's your go to hockey brand?

CCM for skates.

 

4. If you had to pick an NHL player to compare yourself to who would you pick?

Trevor Lewis I guess. Not great at anything but is a hard worker.

 

5. what's more important: Highly talented scorers or good shut down defense?

Well both but I would say talented scorers should be good on defense to start with.

 

6.  What is your lucky number?

I have several lucky numbers. Anything above 0.

6.  What is your lucky number?

1. From my time here. Yes actually

 

2. I would say just the sheer enthusiasm. Something about a guy really invested in something, whether VHL or something else, just really helps keep a LR active.

 

3. Hmm. Bauer? I don't really have a specific brand to go to but if I have to chose, I'd say Bauer

 

4. Hmmm... Cody Ceci

 

5. Realistically, I'd say defense wins championships, but for the VHL, outscoring the living shit out of your opponent tends to work well. So yeah I'll go with the former.

 

6. Number 7 is a number I have quite a bit of faith in. Dunno why though. Maybe because I'm the GM of Las Vegas but meh.

6. where do you prefer to watch other games happening?

1. Possibly just add some depth upfront. I know cap space is tight so it might be a quiet trade deadline for us.

 

2. I would throw that 15 tpe into defence. I’m working on getting it to 90.

 

3. Team success is way more important. It’s all about winning as a team.

 

4. If it were to expand I would like to see a team in Montréal or even New Jersey.

 

5. question I hate being asked is; Can I see your ID?

 

6. I prefer to watch other game at home with a couple of beverages, can’t beat that.

1. We need more forward depth perhaps? Something to bolster up the scoring.

 

2. Nothing. I'm sure I'm depreciating after this season so I'm banking it all.

 

3. Team success in all honesty. You can have all the individual awards, but your ultimate goal is winning the cup.

 

4. Hmmm. Hawaii? A team in Asia or Australia would be really nice as well. This one is a bit of a stretch but what about a Transylvanian team as well? Would be really cool.

 

5. I don't usually hate being asked questions, but if there's anything that grinds my gears, it's questions about my character or who am I as a person. I try to be honest, and it does hurt when someone doesn't see me as untrustworthy.

 

6. At home. I'm on the more introverted side of the spectrum irl. So I tend to just chill at home. I'd rather seclude myself than go outside tbh.

6. Are you an introvert or an extrovert?

1. It does actually surprise me, we had started off so hot, but have cooled off lately.

 

2. Stamen, Pines, and Davis have all been our MVP’s so far into the season.

3. I am very excited. I haven’t played a VHL playoff game yet and hopefully we can go on a bit of a run.

 

4. My players performance is probably a 8. Fourth line minutes, doesn’t play too much, but makes the most of it.

 

5. My play style is Gritty. Hard forecheck and offensive abilities.

6. More of an introvert for sure. I’m a pretty quiet guy.

[Steve 1,925]

1. LA is currently 8tg in the league. Does this surprise you?

No, we are a talented team and should be pushing the for higher.

 

2. who would you say has been LAs MVP this season so far?

Everyone is an MVP in my book.

 

3. playoffs are quickly approaching how excited are you?

I am very happy to have made it to the playoffs.

 

4. Rate your players performance 1-10 (1 being horrible, 10 being incredible)

I would say 8 is about right if I went by previous season to compare.

 

5. How would you describe your play style?

My playstyle and the sim playing my player is to different things. I wanted to be a good center with scoring and defense.

 

6. Are you an introvert or an extrovert?

Depends. I am definitely not an introvert but I am indifferent most of the time.

2. How did your player do in your opinion in that round?

 

3. How do you think next round will go?

 

 

4. How far do you see us going in these playoffs?

 

 

5. who needs to step up big if we are going to go deep?

 

 

6. Does any part of your routine change because of playoffs?

[DMaximus 1,046]

1.     La has officially beaten Vancouver in the wildcard round. Are you surprised?

 

I’m not. Our team has really come together in the last couple of weeks during the season. I expected us to carry that momentum forward.

 

2.     How did your player do in your opinion in that round?

 

Pistil did alright. His performance was consistent, which is great.

 

3.     How do you think next round will go?

 

I think we’ll take down Chicago with ease. Probably sweep them if I had to guess.

 

 

4.     How far do you see us going in these playoffs?

 

The NA teams are so close that I think we can make it to the finals.

 

 

5.     who needs to step up big if we are going to go deep?

 

In the playoffs, it always comes down to goaltending. So Dimmadore needs to keep performing at a high level for us to have a chance.

 

 

6.     Does any part of your routine change because of playoffs?

 

I try to not switch things up during playoff time. Stick to my normal routine. Ultimately, it’s just another game and I try to treat it that way. Obviously that’s easier said than done.

[Steve 1,925]

1. LA has officially beaten Vancouver in the wildcard round. Are you surprised?

Not at all. We are a very good team.

 

2. How did your player do in your opinion in that round?

He did his job and for the most part I am happy with his team play.

 

3. How do you think next round will go?

I'm looking for a sweep.

 

4. How far do you see us going in these playoffs?

We could go all the way. You just have to believe you can and work hard.

 

5. Who needs to step up big if we are going to go deep?

The whole team needs to be on their A game.

 

6. Does any part of your routine change because of playoffs?

I don't change anything. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Continuing to make my rounds and doing pressers for teams I wouldn't mind playing for...

 

1. Not really, LA has a great team with a more experienced starting goaltender.

2. Sadly my team didn't make the playoffs this year :<

3. Gonna be a super tight series, I can see it needing a game 7.  Comparing each team on paper I'd give LA a slight edge.

4. Shoot for the stars aim for the moon?  I don't think your group has hit their ceiling just yet, plenty of gas in the tank.

5. JEFFREY MF PINES

6. Personally, yes since I'm not in the playoffs.  Been watching the series closely and paying attention to other teams and players a lot more, getting super excited for the S78 draft!

5. Who is winning the cup this season? how many games will the series go to?

 

6. What needs to happen thi off season for LA to be even more successful?

[DMaximus 1,046]

1.     LA has officially been kicked from the playoffs. how do you feels bout our performance?

Obviously it doesn’t feel great to lose and have your season end. But I think we played very good during the playoffs. It was a major accomplishment to sweep the defending champs, Chicago.

 

2.     Overall how do you think the team did this season?

I think our season exceeded expectations. We showed that we can play well together in spurts. We should be happy making it to the conference finals.

 

3.     Any big surprises this season?

I think the biggest surprise for me was the drop off of Hulk Hogan Jr. He was a huge prospect and almost a sure fire signing. Now it seems like his interests have moved to things other than hockey. It’s a shame.

 

4.     who was LAs MVP?

This is a tough one because we have a very balanced team. I think Jeffrey Pines.

 

5.     Who is winning the cup this season? how many games will the series go to?

I think Seattle will win in 6 games.

 

6.     What needs to happen thi off season for LA to be even more successful?

I think we need to shore up our defense. Roque is getting old and Hogan is a lost cause. We have a lot of centers too, so maybe ditch a center for a better winger.

[Steve 1,925]

1. LA has officially been kicked from the playoffs. how do you feels bout our performance?

It was a fun ride and we had some great games. Great teamwork and team mates.

 

2. Overall how do you think the team did this season?

We had our ups and downs but for the most part we were playing great.

 

3. Any big surprises this season?

We had a couple of long winning streaks that were fun.

 

4. who was LAs MVP?

On paper, half the team were MVPs. I could pick any of them.

 

5. Who is winning the cup this season? how many games will the series go to?

Seattle is a playoff team and I would put my money on them.

 

6. What needs to happen thi off season for LA to be even more successful?

I think we were our own worst enemy from all the penalties we took but that can be fixed with some training.

1.     how has your off-season been so far?

Good, been working on rounding out my supplemental skills. Expect to see a new leader on the ice!

 

2.     what are you doing to prepare for next season?

Most of it is trying to contain the hype train for this next season. I’m getting excited just thinking about how good we’re going to be.

 

3.     What is your biggest upgrade focus on?

I’ve taken some leadership and communication classes to help make me a more effective leader on and off the ice. I also beefed up some muscles to hit people harder.

 

4.     How do you want to spend the rest of your off season?

I think just resting and mentally preparing. Maybe some golf.

 

5.     who should La pick up in the draft?

We probably need to draft a defenseman or two. But we’re strong enough that we can just pick best player available and be fine.

I went back to Brazil to train back in my village. It’s nice returning to your roots after all this time in Hollywood.

1.) Pretty non-eventful.  The WJC went alright, sad to not come back with a medal though.

2.) Just trying to remember to do tasks... hard to remember with everything irl going on (exams, track, robotics competitions... I can't keep track of it all)

3.) Defense probably, prob scoring too

4.) Chilling, hopefully.  Gotta grind those tasks though.

5.) Whoever Sam and Josh think we should take... I trust them

6.) Gonna head home to Michigan.  Maybe stay in the Motor City this time.  Gotta catch my Lions playing a couple games.
