LA Stars Press Conference

[zepheter 586]

1. With the off-season looming, what do you think LA needs to do the most in their off-season? 

Retaining players isn't going to be easy. It would be impossible to use the picks they have to build a competitive team. The best course of action is to rebuild.
2. A lot of teams likely needing shake-ups due to retirements, is this the year of the rebuild? 

Yep, I think it would be a detriment to both the team and players to stick around. 
3. New GM in town, what is your honest suggestions to get LA back to the big time? 

I trust IR can get LA on track and it starts with the rebuild. 
4. Toronto also got a new GM, congrats Doomsday! What are your thoughts on Toronto next season? 

I like the look of Toronto. They're on the cusp of being a true contender. I think they could use one more high end forward.
5. What does your player do pre-game to get FOCUSED? 

Chatting with the team, listening to music, bouncing around and staying in a good mood. 

6. If you could add one legacy player to the team, who would it be and why? 

That's easy. I wanna play with the GOAT, Scotty Campbell. I'd set all sorts of career highs. Honorable mentions to Hulk Hogan and Dan Dan. Both incredible players that have carried me in the past.

[Garsh 1,191]

1. With the off-season looming, what do you think LA needs to do the most in their off-season? 

It seems unlikely we are going to be able to compete this season, so securing assets for the future is probably the best course of action.

2. A lot of teams likely needing shake-ups due to retirements, is this the year of the rebuild? 

Yes I think there are going to be a couple teams that are starting to rebuild.

3. New GM in town, what is your honest suggestions to get LA back to the big time? 

Starting a rebuild and getting assets for the future.

4. Toronto also got a new GM, congrats @Doomsday! What are your thoughts on Toronto next season? 

They look not too bad, they have a nice full roster.

5. What does your player do pre-game to get FOCUSED? 

Headphones in and getting a nice deep stretch.

 

6. If you could add one legacy player to the team, who would it be and why? 

BRING BACK JEFFREY PINES!! @rory

[InstantRockstar 1,243]

Presser: 

1. How did you see our draft going? 

2. Would you say any of our picks were 'predictable'? 

3. With our current roster, where do you see our season ending? 

4. Who is your favourite singer/band?

1. How did you see our draft going?

 

I knew how the top end would go ahead of time, so there's that...it did kind of suggest to me that a 2nd would be used on a forward for the sake of balance, so I guess I had some level of insight.

 

On 6/17/2022 at 11:00 PM, InstantRockstar said:

2. Would you say any of our picks were 'predictable'?

 

As for the first three, yes. I like to think we'd like to have #18 back, but sometimes things just don't go the way we want. 

 

On 6/17/2022 at 11:00 PM, InstantRockstar said:

3. With our current roster, where do you see our season ending?

 

I think it's realistic that we'll end up competing, since we're in the NA conference. If we make a good buy or two, and our top earners keep top earning, I think 4th and at least winning the wildcard is very reachable. 

 

On 6/17/2022 at 11:00 PM, InstantRockstar said:

4. Who is your favourite singer/band?

 

This is a very tough one because I'm into a lot of different styles and I don't like to compare one group to another across those. At different times in my life it's been Phish, The Grateful Dead, Return to Forever, Herbie Hancock, Pink Floyd, King Crimson...too many to choose and not at all comparable to each other. The last musician I got really into was Hiromi, a massively talented piano player from Japan, but I can't say I have a single favorite at the moment.

 

On 6/17/2022 at 11:00 PM, InstantRockstar said:

5. Which movie was your favourite you watched this year?

 

...honestly, it might be War Dogs. It's a basic Jonah Hill comedy, but I think I watched it at a time when that was exactly what I needed. It's probably not as good as I give it credit for, but that was the first one that came to mind when I tried to think of things I watched and actually enjoyed this year.

 

On 6/17/2022 at 11:00 PM, InstantRockstar said:

6. What is your aspiration for your player?

 

I want to make the Hall of Fame! I have some thoughts related to playing up and starting off my career that I think I'll save for a .com, but Vandelay has the potential to be somewhat of a trailblazer and I'd love to see what I'm doing work out.

6. What is your aspiration for your player? 

1. Well I thought number 1 & 3 would be the opposite way around but it was good nonetheless

2. Yeah the top 2 definately were, they fell in line with most mocks

3. I think we are a cusp playoff team this season we make the play in game but lose there. Our season is season 86

4. Ball Park Music a small-ish band from my hometown

5. I haven't watched too many this year, maybe Spiderman

6. I would love to win a Defender of the year award

1. Honestly being on the outside looking in on draft day the first couple rounds went how I would’ve expected them . 
2. no for the most part they were on par with a lot of the mock drafts 

3. right now we’re knocking on the door , in a season or two it’s gonna be our time ! And I hope By then I’ll have made the jump to the VHL full time to help contribute.

4. Honestly I like five finger death punch or any country music . I know that’s an interesting spread but it’s what I like lol

5. Top Gun Maverick was phenomenal, if you haven’t seen it yet go watch it !

6. I want to win a championship. As well as one day maybe look back onto a hall of fame career

2. How do you anticipate we do this season?

3. Who is your first pick in VHFL? If you didn’t participate, who would you have picked?

4. Who do you think should win rookie of the year?

5. What is your go-to pizza order for the big game?

6. How are you enjoying the weather here in L.A? Is it too hot for you or do you enjoy the heat?

[BOOM 8,748]

Bad luck, I'm answering these.

 

1. How was your off-season?

 

Personally, and team-based opinion: it sucked balls. I'm glad Ray is OK, but it kind of fucked a couple of us.

 

2. How do you anticipate we do this season?

 

I think you will win the NA conference and have multiple award winners.

 

3. Who is your first pick in VHFL? If you didn’t participate, who would you have picked?

 

For no particular reason(and picking 6th) I went Detroit and Peepants. Elite.

 

4. Who do you think should win rookie of the year?

 

I think I went with Maple. Seemed a popular pick so we'll see how that goes.

 

5. What is your go-to pizza order for the big game?

 

Just anchovies. Nothing else.

 

6. How are you enjoying the weather here in L.A? Is it too hot for you or do you enjoy the heat?

 

I don't mind the heat actually, so LA is fine. It's the SoCal douchebags that I have a problem with.

[Berocka 2,263]

1. How was your off-season?

   Good I didn't do anything related to VHL really 

 

2. How do you anticipate we do this season?

  I think we place in the win the wild card round but get knocked out the round after 

 

6. How are you enjoying the weather here in L.A? Is it too hot for you or do you enjoy the heat?

  I'm use to the heat being from Australia so it kinda feels like home

1. Off season was solid, saw the Dragons retool a bit after losing big name guys in Peepants, Mourning and Idaho.  I am exciting to see how the team performs during my players final season.  Hope we can get it done!

3. My first pick was Hard Markinson.  The perfect mix of points and hits and he has been a consistently safe pick each season.

5. Probably deluxe, or Hawaiian.  Donair pizza also slaps.

1. Not too bad. Bit of a lazy one and didn't end up doing much but I got to relax and refresh so I'll take that as a positive.
2. This team is a verified sleeper pick. We won't tear it up like some, but we're gonna be competitive and surprise a few people this season.
3. I didn't participate but it always feels like Nico Pearce does well in these types of things so that's who I'd go with numero uno.
4. I'm thinkin Mo. Big fan of their build and I think they'll do pretty damn well.
5. Hawaiian with jalapenos. The pineapple compliments the peppers perfectly
6. Great weather for tanning, and so long as I got the AC running inside, I'm all good.

1. Obviously it is me I make everyone laugh

2. It was actually not a prank but he was being very gentlemanly, I was hot so he was helping me cool down

3. I love a good fettuccini carbonara 

4. Trying to improve my shut down defence and passing out of the D Zone

5. Cricket is easily my favourite then it would be Australian Football

6.  No not really I don't have time to follow them 

[FrostBeard 2,049]

1. Who is the funniest member on this team?
Well, that is a pretty tough thing to say but I believe there is no person more funny Scoish. He is making everyone feel like they are a part of the LR. 

2. Did you see the big prank that @Gustavdid on @Berocka? If not, he pushed Berocka into a water fountain.
Yeah, did see that, it was quite funny. Do have to say, Berocka acted up like he was murdered there so it did feel a bit awkward for a while. 

3. What is your go-to lunch at the training facility?
Oh, this is pretty easy actually - my legendary home made pork stew. There is no better food - I don't eat that weird LA trash food. Always take food from home, double portions as you need at least 6500 calories. 

4. How has training been? What have you been working on in your individual time?
I have been working on my trash talking as that is really the only thing I need, I am a perfect package of a player and not a single player can even think about contesting that. 

5. What is your favourite sport outside of hockey?

I like football, it is the most popular spot in the world and will remain so because it is awesome, if I wouldn't have gone into hockey, I would have been the next Lewandowski. 

6. Are you following the VHLE or VHLM?
Yes, I like every league. I need to know who are the upcoming players, need to figure them and make sure that I all the specific counters to their play style. It is the only way.

6. What is the strangest thing that has happened in your sim league career?

1. My go-to meal would probably be some really good mac and cheese and sloppy joes. Those hit the spot every time. 

2. I feel that it would be cool to have a team in Paris or Berlin.

3. I'm sure it would be cool to play for the Americans. 

4. I took German from 6th grade until high school, but I'm extremely far from fluent

5. My expectations for this season are that I play a bigger role than the previous year. 

6. Probably the time that I got a single assist in a game and I got first star.

3. I don't know, where I would like to go maybe New York

4. Nahh mate just true blue bogan

5. I really don't have any expectations I think next season is our time

6. There was one game where there was a full 5v5 fight I believe 

[FrostBeard 2,049]

1. What is your go-to meal for game night?
Well, it highly depends to be fair - I guess for me it really would be something hardy - a Latvian style pork stew. Those are always delicious.

2. Is there a city in nA or Europe that is missing a team?
Yes. Austria needs a truly quality team - I feel like we might need a team in Vienna. Maybe something like Vienna Wizards?
3. Besides LA, what team sounds like a fun prospect to play for one day?
As a player that just came to LA from the great team in Seattle, I would probably say.... Riga, yeah, Riga is cool. Why? Because I am Latvian. 

4. Do you speak any other languages?
Yes, I do speak quite a bit of "it is none of your business there lad".

5. What are your expectations for this season?
I am gonna lead the team into playoffs and we are going to win everything and I will hoist the cup. I think that is a fairly reasonable expectation.

6. What is the strangest thing that has happened in your sim league career?
I still find it weird that GM of Stockholm Vikings, when I was playing there, asked me to take 20 different picture angles of my feet and send it to him. He said it was for research but I am not really sure. 

[Berocka 2,263]

1. Do you prefer music or podcasts whilst you travel?

2. What's your go to thing to cheer you up after a loss?

3. What are your early predictions for the playoffs
