Videoconferencing has been an excellent way for the Calgary Dragons to bond during the downtime, and have been making the best of the situation as they can. The most recent efforts by the team to pass the time has to been to play poker with the guys online. It's been a great time with the gang, and Joseph Weston has been able to learn more of the faces he's playing with on the Dragons. He's gotten to know some of the habits of the older folks, but also the ways to fly under the radar when necessary. The team has been doing this weekly, and it's something great to look forward to for the guys. We've learned who the great betters are, and the guys who's money is pretty easy to take. It's been a great time, and Joseph Weston really looks forward to it.

Tom Fiddler and Michael Fitted go way back to the carolina days. He had the pleasure of dealing with fitted in one of the new video calls. As we opened up Zoom, we found that Fitted had not even put on a shirt and we could see dozens of empty beer bottles behind him, which he assured us were "only from last night". The hilarity was further enhanced when Rankle joined the call with a green screen, his video background set to the media spot at the rink (a view from the bench) and in full hockey gear. His significant other held a mic for him all meeting as he pretended to be interviewed by all of us. Lastly, Some of our older players had a really tough time connecting to the session, which was hilarious because old people are old. They aren't really over 40, but it sure felt like they were 100.

The other night, the Calgary Dragons had a bit of a team meet up over on Zoom. There were a bunch of us in there, just catching up on things, and I decided to start making some chicken parmesan on video. You know what happened next? A bunch of teammates started joining in and making some at their own houses! So we all started cooking together, throwing together the best chicken parmesan dish we could make. People were tossing in loads of different recipes, but I was just going with some classic, plain old chicken parm. So, we all were doing our thing, when a bunch of us noticed that @~~Mike Izzy~~ forgot a key ingredient, but we just let him go on and make his dish. What was the ingredient? THE PARMESAN!! It's in the name of the meal! So we all burst out laughing when he thought he was done and let him know what happened.

There's definitely an explanation though. We were all doing shots while this happened.

The Pride have been sure to keep in close touch with one another throughout the lockdown and are sure to be talking to each other nearly every day in order to keep the team vibe up. While the chats have always been entertaining for the members, they are riddled with inside jokes, chirps, and some other things that may not necessarily be appropriate for the general public. Early on in the chats, people were often confused about whether the cameras were on or not leading to many an embarrassing moment such as when Charlie Schieck was found in his sailor moon pyjamas with hand-drawn hearts around the tuxedo mask pictures. It seems that he was a massive fan of the anime, and was really trying to hide it from others on the team. While the boys had a good laugh at it, to begin with, it quickly turned to everybody professing their love for the show, and now the team is considering changing their mascot to the best and most effective hero of all time, tuxedo mask.

So we had the buffalo stampede video chat on zoom. All the time and sometimes we made many noises like giraffes make. Well if I had to say the funniest part I think you would be when our general manager came into the chat. He was all weird said hello guys how we how are we all doing on this fine evening in lockdown buffalo. And I was like bro what the hell are you talking about man. And then she was like poopity scoop I will have to talk to you about those words. Was like oh yeah Mr Bad GM? And he was like yeah. And I was like well with the way I am playing what are you going to do to me? And he said he would fine me. And I told him I would pay him with my ass. And then his face turned red. And then his face exploded.

It's hard to pick just one incident but it has to be when our goalie, Strom Chamberlain, broke his hand. As many of you probably already know, Strom tried to play the beginning of the season with a broken hand. It didn't go well or last very long before our backup came in to pick up the slack. After a week or two healing he was back on the ice but that doesn't make the story any less funny. So as we know we got the "work from home" order so we thought it would be fun to get everyone on a call to play some games before the season started. As you can expect the liquor was flowing. Strom is a fan of grandpa's cough medicine and had been hitting it hard all night. Next thing I know Strom is trying to tell us he can catch a puck barehanded, some goalie competition thing or something. However, at the time it sounded pretty awesome. I can't remember who was at his house but someone wound up and slapped one glove side and sure enough Strom caught it. Craziest thing I've ever seen. It was like that scene out of D2 Mighty Ducks.

You know what they say when you're chatting with teammates from home: “turn off your microphone”. That is exactly what this story is going to be about. During a group interview with the LA Times featuring Oliver Cleary, Max Mauldin, Simon Leblanc and Tony Ford, that advice should have been taken. Simon Leblanc decided to take a quick break from the interview in order to take what he called a quick time out. While the other three teammates kept the interview going, something was off. A sound could be heard on Leblanc's end. Though nothing has been confirmed and Leblanc wouldn't admit it, the three teammates knew exactly what was happening. Leblanc decided not to close the door to the nearby bathroom and we could hear all of his business. Unfortunately for Leblanc, the clip appeared on twitter and was a popular retweet between LA Panthers fans. It is an LA historical moment.

So outside of the standard "am I muted?" or "sorry I was muted" or someone taking a leak, one time between a call with all the forwards, Monkey D Luffy didn't realize he had his webcam on. This was not super obvious initially but when he grabbed his laptop and took it into the bathroom we all realized what was happening. First we all got a reminder of why that D is in his name (see it in the showers daily usually so nothing new there, dude is a horse), but then we got to both watch and listen to him take what can only be described as the unholiest evacuation of a colon north of hell. This was so foul sounding that it felt like you could smell him from the other side of the conference call. After recovering from nearly puking the rest of us had a good laugh at his expense and we haven't even told him yet. Our next practice is going to be a shit show.

Having resorted to video calling to talk to my teammates about anything from hockey tactics to the mundane life of being multi-millionaires, I've been given quite a look into the lives of my friends and colleagues. In a call with former Lethbridge teammate and D partner, Cal Clucker, I got a view into the dank pit of his life. No windows, lights off, save the glow of his monitor. Just the creaking of his many, many lizards and reptiles that he seems to look after. He claimed the light bothered them, so they need kept in the dark, but I don't buy it. The way the shadows move in his room makes me fear that something is in there with him. Something besides the possible dozens of reptiles. Every time I look past his face, I see movement in the dark. It may not scare him, but the concern for his well being is growing deep in my soul. Also one time somebody in a team meeting forgot to wear pants. Ha. That was a good one.

Social distancing has been rough to say the least. It is just not the same talking with your team on a video call rather than in person. That being said Nicholas Owens and Buffalo's esteemed great captain Monkey D. Luffy have talked on video and voice call even before being teammates. It was natural to be on call with him but what happened the other day was not to say the least. Luffy generally doesnt wear pants when we call so that was completely normal to me but this time.... he didnt even bother with underwear. It was quite awkward as I tried to avoid the subject and act normal at the same time. This went on for some time as we talked about our days and the boring stuff you might imagine. Eventually he got up to use the restroom and then that was when he finally noticed. Quite awkward

To welcome the newest player of the St. Louis Scarcrows, Indigo Trevino, the team decided to do a conference call. Things turned chaotic fast for Elizabeth Doyle, Ruslan Zaporozhets, Sasha Danglecheck, Eric Hudson and of course Indigo Trevino. The first one who started to have a ‘technical’ issue if we can call it like this is Doyle, who had to deal with her cat during the conference call. For some reason, the light on the webcam was really interesting for Bily and he decided to swat at it, batting the webcam over the screen and behind the desk, she had to go fetch it with difficulty. Zaporozhets had the classic difficulty with the headsets that everyone always has. “can you hear me?” have been said so many times in the conversation. We also got to see, to his misfortune, Danglecheck without pants. The man had forgotten he didn’t had any and got up to go get water.

The Vancouver Whalers are a pretty young team, so we've been getting quite into this videoconferencing thing. Some of our practice film sessions are done via video chat, so it's been really good being able to adapt some of our routines to this new routine. Redacted has been hilarious on the calls because sometimes his pet cat will wander into the camera frame and just stare at the screen endlessly until someone notices them. There was one incident too where we all had headphones on while doing some online team gaming to keep in touch during this social distancing period, and the cat got up next to him and meowed straight in his ear, and I swear Redacted jumped high enough that he could've easily had the highest vertical at fitness testing. Otherwise, it's a great time and it's been nice to be able to keep in touch with the boys during our season.

Videoconferencing has been a new experiment for the Colorado raptors in order for players and coaches to be able to hold meetings on off days without requiring everyone to be physically present. While these meetings are usually pretty short and standard affairs, that was not the case during last weeks call. One of the rookies, Noah Jonhs II has made a habit of missing the conference call or calling in late. The coaches have been really on him lately about it. Well apparently Noah didn’t get enough sleep the night before and wanted to sleep in, so he concocted a “clever” scheme. He set up his chair with a life size human dummy and taped a picture of himself on the head to make it appear he was there while he slept. He must not have thought it throughout too much as we could all immediately tell it was not him. Honestly it wasn’t even close. We all started cracking up during the meeting as the coaches all started calling his phone. Ringside could be heard in the background as well as some groaning and shuffling around. Oh boy were the coaches pissed. Next practice he spent the first 30 minutes doing endurance drills alone. We think he’s learned his lesson.

Now that we are into the thick of the quarantine everyone has gone to communicating through video. Shepard has long been accustomed to this practice from his days saving the galaxy. At this point Shepard has really let himself go and no longer has his signature buzzed hair. It has now grown very long and has also grown a monster beard. With no contact with the outside world he has also grown a beer belly and for all intents and purposes looks like fat Thor from Endgame. During one particular video conference with Brain, Goku, and Scruff they were discussing their everyday lives and how they have coped with the continued quarantine. Shepard was mowing down on pizza from his local pizza guy trying to support local businesses and Shepard accidentally dropped the piece on the ground behind him by swinging the pizza too hard up since it was a greasy one. To the complete horror of the boys Shepard had no pants or underwear on as he bent down to pick up the slice on the floor. Shepard told the boys he thought they were not necessary now that he’s stuck inside and they only see his upper torso. Boy was Shepard wrong.

Thanks to @FlappyGiraffe and @ToeDragon84 for the making these sick sigs!
