What's been your favourite moment of your career so far?

When it's all said and done, what would Emiko need to accomplish to make her career a success?

If Emiko could take a vacation anywhere in the world, where would she go?

1) I'll have to answer this in 2 different parts. One as the User and one as the Player.

Emiko: The reason i wanted to join the Blizzard is because they have a really nice logo and jersey and i think i'd look cute in the jersey.
Other than that i have been having lots of different ideas based on the team and that will be seen later on in my pads and mask reveal!
Also some of the old greats from some of my past teams play here and i like playing with them! Lastly Edmonton is a lot colder and due to being from Sapporo it's what i'm used too a cooler climate.

Manto: Ok, so the reason i wanted to come here was due to branding and having lots of friends on the team. I can see a lot of different people from the Colorado Locker Room in here so it felt like a good fit. Another reason is that they needed a goalie and i had been really interested in coming to this place since the S48 draft even started. I hope to be here for many years to come!

2) My favourite moment of my career so far has to be my move to Colorado. It made me enjoy the league again. Everyone there was so nice and i fit in straight away and found my groove with the team. I never won the Cup with them but i did manage to get a good run and another Netminder of the Year award. This is obviously something that would be fun for anyone!

3) Honestly, this is hard to decide. I've never been one to hunt personal or team glory it's nice when it happens but i don't see it as a massive need. I guess having fun till i finish would make me have a successful career as then i'd be sticking it out and making sure i do everything. Overall i'd hope to win a cup but not for my player but to repay the faith Edmonton have put in me!

4) Hmm, I really haven't thought about this. Does going home count as a holiday? I haven't been in years considering i've been living in the States. So i guess a trip back home to Sapporo, Japan would be something i'd love to do but at the same time most of my friends live in the states currently (Etsuko: Montreal, Manto: Providence) so i don't know if there's much reason to go back at the moment. Maybe if all our off-season match it would be a good fit!

This has been my first stint in the league and before we really didn't get much coverage over in Japan. I guess as a result i don't look up to anyone in this league however i do have a few back home i look up to or i have some here that i'd class as hugely dedicated and i hope to be able to emulate them. Harry Carpet, Markus Tegernako, Benjamin Blue, Tibuk Soonika, Peter Larson, Knox Booth, & Samat Beibitzhanov are a few i'd mention when it comes too wanting to match their dedication.

The T-Shirt is the best thing in my career so far and clearly my biggest reward ever. I have it framed and signed by the beast who gave it me! Some people in life may want Trophies but they don't have the magnificent T-Shirt! As for it's quality... You wouldn't believe it's made out of the finest silk ever made.

I've used a few different Brands in my time. Bauer, Warrior, Brian to name a few. At the moment i'm loving the Brian Orpik 2 set as they're so nice to look at and they're really comfortable. I have been able to move a lot better than before. Hopefully the new look will make me a better goalie for the coming season!

Please explain why its obvious DACH is going to win WJC gold.

1) Now, That is a good question and one of the biggest questions ever... I mean i did a lot of lifting of DACH last World Juniors! So maybe yes i do lift!

2) I mean they do have a good chance of winning but at the same time they're lacking me so it's clearly going to be slightly harder. However, i do trust the netminder to give it their all.

For what reason was Edmonton the #1 choice?

1) They don't have me which clearly puts them at a disadvantage.

2) I answered this above with Tommy's post but i'll add another note.

Emiko is from a game i am making and she's playing on a team that's another Canine team and also blue for colour scheme! I guess another thing is i get a lot of my characters drawn and due to that i like to have a team i like the look of.

Hello, my friend Manto plays against a FirstName LastName... Is it very common?  or are you currently committing or being a victim of identity fraud?

Fuck, Marry, Kill.

Jon Forty-One, Laszlo Forty-two & Jose Forty-Three.

Ok, so because i don't know them Laszlo is being killed... I'm sorry mister Forty-Two.

Next who would i marry... Hmmm... I'm not sure... I'll say Jon as he looks like Keanu Reeves... So then i can make him do really bad reenactments of Bill and Ted. Who doesn't want that in their life.

As for fucking... i guess that leaves Jose...

As the 17th highest TPE goalie, you are in the perfect Marc Andre Fleury spot if there is an expansion (but there won't be). Who are some bottom 6 players around the league that you think you would enjoy playing with?

Compare the 6(?) GM's that you've played for during your 5 seasons on the site.

1) Ok, so i really just made something to put there honestly. It's a person from My Hero Academia... I don't even like the show to be honest. However i like the character design. I though they fit my player sort of and i'm using it as a stop game till i get something else. I edited a gif so it fit my player a bit better so i coloured in the Hair to be Grey and then the eyes to be yellow. However, i hope to be able to swap this soon when i get an image of Emiko in full gear for Edmonton!

2) Honestly, I hope i didn't get expanded XD... however, i'm going to be real here... i haven't been paying attention who are classed as what players and where they are in the line up. So instead i'll give you some answers of players i'd like to play with at some point or i already have in some cases. Jon Forty-One, Finn-Rhys, Jean-Paul Boivin, Tony Pepperoni, Mike Izzy, & Bo Kane.

3) Honestly, They've mostly been good and on pare. i can't really say which one is better than another one... I wish i could choose as this would help me fill out this question. I guess there is one i do have stuff to question them about but i won't put that here as that saga is now over. Katth is a great GM for Austria and they're brilliant to work with!

Why did the falcons trade me?

I don't see myself as a traitor but rather someone who found a better fit from themselves to be honest. I loved it at the falcons and they helped me a lot in my starting steps of the league but it wasn't till going to Colorado i really started enjoying the league!

Hello, and thank you for wishing me that. I hope you have a good career and a good World Juniors too!

Honestly, I will miss being a raptor! I loved it down on the Raptors and they're a great bunch there. I wish i could help there and such. I guess i'd say the starts before this season but actually now i'm starting to get more right now.

One thing i'd like to do is try and win a Gold in World Juniors which is something i was never able to accomplish which is something that i'm still pretty upset about and wish i could have had longer at trying to do so.

I finally it was a lot more simpler in the minors too... I guess i miss not being relied on as much as i will be for the future of the Blizzard!
