Being on NOLA, I know you were a big part of test simming and understanding the effects of different player builds for the Specters in the early days of FHM 6. After a break from the league and several changes after the switch to FHM 8, how well do you think that knowledge has translated? Has being an IIHF GM helped improve your knowledge and understanding of different adjustments you can make to improve team performance?

Have you ever gone to see a movie and gotten so sick of it that you walked out before it finished? If so what movie?

How is your fantasy draft going?

If you could change/implement one rule within this league what would it be?

Hey frith, last time we were together in NOLA, we won it all. Do you feel that we are close to doing that again? Where do you see the Specters next season? What about three seasons from now? Five seasons?

How large is your pile of shame?

Where would you put the next NHL team?

What is something that makes you feel unstoppable?

What’s your favorite childhood memory?

Does your family have any big traditions?

Where is one place you’ve always dreamed of going?

Do you think dreams have deeper meanings?

It's midnight and we're hungry, what's our go-to snack?
