youloser1337 1,123 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 We have an exclusive interview with Justin Lose after his first few weeks of being a VHL player! Lose requested an interview to share his thoughts about playing in the VHL compared to the VHL. Let's get right to it: Interviewer: Hello Justin! So glad to see you again. This is your first interview with me since you were in the VHLM. Lose: Wow it was that long ago? That's a little crazy. Sorry for not getting around for you, it has been a bit busy with the VHL season during the offseason. I: No worries. Now, how does it feel to be in the VHL compared to the VHLM? L: It's surreal honestly. You work your whole life to be in the VHL and in an instant you are thrown in with the wolves of the VHL. Some of these guys have been here for many seasons, so being a rookie is definitely intimidating. I: How was the transition to the VHL? L: It hasn't been easy. Honestly, I still don't feel comfortable being in the VHL. My teammates are great and all, but sometimes I feel like I don't have the skill like the rest of the league. Some nights I feel like a scapegoat for the team. I: Do you have any idea why the transition has been so rough for you? L: Like I said before I don't think I matchup to the rest of the league very well. My biggest fear was not fitting in and being useless on the team and I'm nervous that those fears are coming into reality. My production hasn't been great, my teammates lost confidence in me and even the GM since he demoted me to the 2nd line. I wouldn't be shocked if I was traded for a bag of pucks at this point. I: What do you think needs to happen to gain your confidence back? L: I'm not sure to be real with you. If you know me, it has been a rough career already for me. I don't think I'll ever be 100% confident with myself. I fear that I'll just be another top 6 forward that doesn't do anything for their team and retire with no awards or trophies. Would I love for that to change? Of course. I want to be the best. I don't think that it will happen anytime soon. I: On that note, I think I will call the interview there. Lose, it has been an honor and I wish you the best of the luck with the rest of the VHL season. Maybe we can meet again at the end of the season and see where you are at. L: That would be great. I'll need all the luck I can get, so thank you. Lose and the Riga Reign are currently 7th in the European Conference and the 3rd worst record in the league with a record of 7-14-2. Lose has a pathetic 4 - 10 -14 points with a +/- -10 in 23 GP. Will the Reign get into a groove and start winning games and will Lose finally be that star player?

Eynhallow 412 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Keep on truckin' !! You are getting 20+ minutes of ice time per sim including time on the PP and PK. Eventually it will all fall into place. None of us are doing particularly well. Thus our dismal place in the standings. I guess it is to be expected as we are in the early stages of a massive Riga rebuild !! youloser1337 1 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/98887-lose-interview/#findComment-820339 Share on other sites More sharing options...
