Taro Tsujimoto Press Conference

[Gustav 6,416]

I don't need the TPE from this because Davos press conference, but feel free to ask me whatever you'd like and I'll answer!

[Retuperkele 21]

1. Which player resembles you the most from the VHL right now?

2. Who do you think has the most impact on your former team in Mississauga?

3. Favourite pokemon from the dex?

4. Mexico is on a roll right now with 12 straight wins in their pocket. Do you think they can keep up?

5. Favourite hair color?

6. Sweet or savory?

1. With the new GM player rule change, how many assets would you have traded to get 1st overall so you could select your player?

 

I'm honestly not sure I would have. I did need a future goalie at some point and UnGuri was right there at 3--plus there were plenty of great players available at 9. It's certainly something I'd look into, but I don't think I would have broken the bank for it or anything.

2. Does Taro intend to play a full 8 season career?

 

Probably depends on team need. I'd like to play it out for selfish reasons but if me being there hurts the team down the road I'd be fine with hanging up the skates.

3. How does Taro feel about horny emotions?

 

Sir, this is a professional team event.

4. What’s Taro’s pregame routine?

 

Call family back in Japan and turn on some music.

5. Taro has to pick one movie to watch for the rest of his life, what is it?

 

It would have to be Miracle, wouldn't it? That's a hockey player's dream right there.

 

On 11/29/2020 at 11:15 AM, Tate said:

6. What do you hope to be Taro’s greatest accomplishment in his career when it is all said and done?

 

I want to set some sort of record. What it is, I don't know yet--but I want to be able to point to something in an obscure forum thread somewhere and say "hey, I did that".

1. Which player resembles you the most from the VHL right now?

 

In recent memory, probably Podrick Cast. He's retired, though, so I'll have to go with a different center--Ola Vikingstad (Helsinki) has a build that's about what I'm going for.

2. Who do you think has the most impact on your former team in Mississauga?

 

It would have to be Dan Dan (@MMFLEX), a teammate of mine last season. He leads the team in points and TPE, and should make quite the mark on the VHL in a few seasons.

3. Favourite pokemon from the dex?

 

I've always had a soft spot for penguins, so it would have to be Piplup. 8-year-old me had like 50 different favorite Pokemon, though.

4. Mexico is on a roll right now with 12 straight wins in their pocket. Do you think they can keep up?

 

Hey, anything is possible! I remember Saskatoon had a win streak close to 50 back in S69.

5. Favourite hair color?

 

I mean, I've never changed the color of my own hair...as for what my "type" is, I don't think I really have one. I belong to brown hair gang so I'll represent that, I guess.

6. Sweet or savory?

 

In general, savory, but of course there are exceptions. Any ice cream with cookies in it is heavenly.

 

 

Thank you for the questions! Happy to answer.

6. What is your jersey number and why did you choose that number?

I considered making a comeback, but they're going to need better owners and management if they want me to show up.

Probably Cleveland. It's a reasonably large northern American city that doesn't have an NHL team, which is enough for me to think it's cool.

Whatever the league in Sweden is called. I know nothing about it but those godawful ad-covered uniforms better be bringing in the money to make things interesting.

I closely follow the NFL, casually follow the NHL, and super casually follow the MLB. I think I'd like basketball if I ever had a team to root for, but I never have.

At home. I'd rather be loved than hated.

74! That was the year I was drafted into the NHL.
