On today's episode I interview everyone's favourite GM. I was more layed back then a lot of people thought I would be, but as much as we all hate him, in a weird sort of way I've started to enjoy his company. *Later* *Reads Captain thread* What the fuck... I should have asked more hard questions!
Anyways, without further ado, San Jose Sharks!
Q. You've been named the worst GM on the league, and seem to be hated/disliked by most members here, why do you think that is?
A. I don't know. lol I guess its my personality. Now a days you gotta swear and act all tough to be respected. I dint really care about all that stuff. I prefer to not make fun of other people and not crack some "yo momma" jokes. I guess by not doing any of this people dislike me.
I think it's because you're retarded, but that's just me.
Q. What happened? You had one of the best teams in the league, and now people will be surprised if you make the play-offs, how do you do that?
A. lol It's a gift really. I've been cursed with destroying teams. On MANnhl I had the TB Lightning and you now the TB team on that site will NEVER be good no matter what happens. Over here, I just made a few trades to make my team younger and the core was still there but then they sucked. So I traded away more guys and I kept trading but the team never improved. I don't know what I did wrong but I think the biggest thing was to trade Cheechoo away but I learned my lesson. I have to see who plays good before I make any trades.
So you fail everywhere eh.
Q. Thornton and Marleau are gone, how do you think this will affect your team?
A. Well I think I got a lot of depth for Thorny and Marleau so I'm good. Now I expect to see scoring from all the lines and after the trade this has been happening. When Marleau and Thorny were there, The rest of the team didn't do much. Plus I really needed to change the team so we can be in the playoffs in the upcoming years. I'm sure next year we'll be in the playoffs. Thornton and Marleau are both excellent producers and I know they'll help Boston and Columbus out. With them, we weren't winning but I know that Boston and Columbus will win (This always happens after I trade away a player).
Q. Where do you expect to finish this season?
A. Well this season I expect to be in the playoff race but I expect us to not make the playoffs by about 5-10 points. So I think we'll finish anywhere from 9th-11th.
What, you expect to be in the play-off race, but you expect your team to not make the play-offs... What the fuck?
Q. Why are you so, anti-old people? Age doesn't matter at all in this league, yet you will not take anyone over 28. What's with that?
A. I want a young team. Young people usually have more value than old people anyway. Plus now I have achieved a WHOLE young team so I'm happy with this team. And were only going to get younger because at the draft we'll have 5 picks so some old people will be traded before next season.
Q. Why the hell do you want Getzlaf, a Shark, shooting on Dip, also a Shark, as a Sig?
A. Because that will look cool. It'll be like in a practice where the players shoot on the goalies. And my two young top players will be in it. It's better than them just standing there like on some other sigs. In this one, they'll be in action which is pretty cool.
Q. Why oh why must you always make shitty ass puns every trade. Every time... Do you do it to torment me?
A. No I don't do it to torment you. SJS/MIN sounds boring. That's too formal and boring lol. Instead of that a cool name would sound cool. Something like Wild Sharks are Loose! or Sharks found in the Wild! I like the first one better it sounds which one you like?
Q. Why do you think Sloppy Seconds always asks the people he interviews who's show is better, do you think he is insecure about his own show?
A. Nah I think its to keep up the competition. To make you guys work harder to see who emerges as the top league show! It's like the HBC company and the NWC back in the 1700s. NWC lost and it emerged with HBC. Plus the competition is good for the league it makes us compare the two shows and it gets us glued. I personally think he asks because he wants to know if his show is any good lol. So yeah this was fun!
That was a surprisingly good answer. Well said.
Thank you all for reading, and thanks to San Jose for doing this. Everyone else please try to keep the SJS bashing to a minimum. Thanks again.
