Hard to believe I've been here a year. Ask me stuff.
High and low points after one year?
Probably the high point of my year so far was the final season in Montreal. We made a run at the cup only to lose in the finals but that was a great group of guys in that locker room. It was really great to see the organization come alive again. The first season in Montreal was tough, locker room was really just about dead. Argar, Blues and the others deserve alot of credit for picking the Impact off the scrap heap and really bringing it back to prominence. Another high point was being drafted in the first round to Texas. Went from a 4th rounder in jrs to a 1st rounder in SHL. Just goes to show how unpredictable the draft is and that if you put in the work you can definitely succeed.
Low point was probably missing the playoffs in Texas 2 seasons ago. After not making the playoffs we then proceeded to sit for like 40 days without shit to do as the austerity crowd got their way and decided to beat the crap out of the activity. Damn near said fuck it at that point and it's probably the locker room in Texas that's the only reason I'm still here to be quite frank.
Where do you see Lidstrom one year from now?
Probably about the same point actually unless we get the promised update scale change. On first defense pairing now with power play time so it's not like I can get any higher than where I'm at now. Probably just be banking points as there's really not anything else I want to do with the player build which is basically the same thing as everyone else whos close to 1000 tpe or over.
Any season predictions?
Well hopefully Texas will get back to the finals this season. Weekes looks to be getting back to his epic form and we have some people that can put the puck in the net so if we get the sim on our side we may be able to make a serious run. Personally I'll probably sit in the 30 point range again as that seems to be the area I fit in with the current lineup in Texas.
Do you have any secret goals that you would like to reach during the next few seasons?
I really haven't thought much about personal goals. It would be nice to hit a 40 point season but I'll just have to hope our random number generator that is the current sim will spit me out a good number one season lol. I really want to just get a cup win in Texas. It is difficult to get one but a repeat of the back to back Texas champs would be great as that team is still talked about so it would be nice to be able to be remembered as part of a great squad.
If you could decide, what would be the goal song that will be played every time you score a goal?
Maybe Hallelujah :lol: But I'd probably have to go with something to get my boys fired up. So as a shout out to my Texas crew my goal song would have to be without a doubt:
What are you wearing right now?
Actually wearing my Captain Lou Albano outfit right at the moment. No shirt and a pair of black sweats just loungin about the house. pretty scary sight tbh. Looks a little something like
:o :o :o :o :o
How much would you be willing to pay to get my signature in something?
Hmmm interesting question. Would you be willing to accept a naked signed poster of Deener in exchange? I'm sure I can arrange that without too much difficulty, he's such a ho.
Who's the best line mate in the world?
Me and Maxy do make a damn good tag team for sure. Don't know why but since we been together Maxy having some monster seasons back on the blue line. We are like these two guys I think:
Gotta have them there hats in Texas hehe. But in all seriousness together me and Maxy totally reek of awesomeness.
Is Ignant the x-factor that will bring Texas back to glory????
Ignant could very well be our X factor as long as he doesn't follow the example of another former Rene we got back that just can't seem to get his weight up at all.
Did you ever imagine when I recruited you here from our dynasty league that you would love it this much? Nope, was just basically trying to figure the site out. First season at Mtl lr was pretty dead so wasn't quite sure what the deal was with this place. The drafting to Texas is probably why I started to enjoy it so much, definitely alot of stuff going on there. Then the Mtl lr started to pick up and we had a super group of guys there. I think if you get with an active team it makes the time go so fast it doesn't seem like you've been here a year.
What are some of your favorite moments on the site over the last year? Doing the wrestling articles with my sidekick Captain Lou Steelhead for sure hehe. Also getting to the finals in Mtl in my 3rd season down which was the whole goal in the first place. The Renegades no shave thing was pretty hilarious too although my wife is still not happy about that one.
Will we ever make a trade in that dynasty league? Well I have some great defensemen to trade to make room for the guys coming up, have a goalie to trade but noone ever asks me. Think they are just waiting for me to have to drop guys as my prospects get ready which kind of sucks tbh. If you need some help for the playoff push you know where to find me.
