I don't know if I have have second teams anymore. I've been around the block so many times and made so many friends that I just have a group of allies at this point. The Sharks, Canucks, Leafs, and Lightning are all allies. Believe it or not, I'm also getting there with the Ducks after years of being angry at each other.
But anyway, I'm hoping Seattle will be an ally and I really wanna play, so I'm gonna play.
1) Age, sex, location
27, Male, New York City
2) How did you first find HF?
The Rangers traded Michal Roszival for Wojtek Wolski in January 2011 (note my join date) and after googling the trade, I found people on here arguing about it. The rest is history.
3) How did you come up with your screen name?
I got an xbox 360 for Christmas in 2007 and was trying to think of a username for xbox live so I could play Halo with my friends and not be a noob (I still was). I couldn't think of a damn thing and frustrated, I put some music on shuffle. First song that came on: Bush - Machinehead. It just clicked. I've been Machinehead on every medium since then.
4) Current team, and which will be #1?
The Rangers, forever and always.....I guess
The organization itself, I've had my differences with, but I would lay down and die for HFNYR. I could never leave our fanbase. They're family.
5) Any players you hope Seattle will get?
Depending on where the Rangers are at in a couple of years, Jimmy Vesey and Jesper Fast are good players who would be on the bubble for expansion. Although, I can't honestly say that I "hope" we lose Fast
You can have Vesey. It's Christmas, after all.
6) Favourite Current player?
Chris Kreider
7) Favourite player all time?
Brian Leetch or Derrick Brassard....or it might actually be Kreider. One of the three.
8) Favourite movie?
Give me anything with Will Smith. I adore Will Smith.
9) What type of music are you into?
Heavy metal, all the way. I've been known to come home sore from the pit.
10) What are your hobbies?
Writing, gaming, statistics, (no shit, right?). Also been known to play Yu-Gi-Oh and learn anything I can about Greek Mythology.
11) What do you do for a living?
I'm a writing professor in college. I'm not an English professor; I'm a writing specialist within other departments.
12) What’s your favourite thing about your current job?
When I have a student that's clearly talented, but doesn't know structure, and I can teach them structure, and then they create something that's still their voice but within a coherent system, that's f***ing magic. That's what I get up in the morning for.
13) Married, single Kids?
Single, no children
14) What’s a relationship deal breaker for you?
Not being able to let things go. I can get in vicious arguments with people and forget about it in 20 minutes.
15) If you won a million dollars, what would you do with the money?
I would by my dad a nice ass car and pay off his bills. He paid for my education and I live my life debt free because of that.
16) If you found out today was your last day on Earth, what would you do?
We're obviously going to MSG so the Rangers can let me down one last time.
17) What is your hidden super power A HIDDEN SUPER POWER IS SOMETHING YOU DO THAT MAY SURPRISE OTHERS OR JUST AMUSE PEOPLE--
I write obnoxiously fast. I can do a 6-8 page paper in an hour if I get rolling. That's how I have so many posts. And I don't mean typing -I'm average at that- I mean my mind. I have alien brain for crafting an argument and articulating it. It's the one thing I had great natural talent at. I was born to be an essayist. And half the time I'm wrong (more than half!) but I can make it sound decent at the time.
18) If you came back in your next life as an animal, what animal would you be?
Chris Kreider
19) Next place on your travel bucket list?
Vancouver, hands down. I've got a lot of friend up there. Good friends that I met here.
20) What was your favorite holiday vacation
Cooperstown, New York. I love baseball.
21) Worst Vacation
Haven't had any particularly terrible experiences in this category, but I got hopelessly lost in New Jersey once. Nice town and everything, but Jesus, I got home at 3Am.
22) Craziest thing you've done (legal)
Ate my own hair as part of a bet. Yes, it was the Rangers, and yes, it was here.
23) Four people from now or from history you'd have over for dinner for a conversation
Mariano Rivera, John Lennon, Mark Twain, Will Smith.
If it was hockey? Gretzky, Ovechkin, Hilary Knight (I mean, c'mon...) and Kreider
24) Fav drink (booze or whatever)
Mountain Dew is the nectar of the Gods.
25) If you could--who on the board or site would you go out for a drink with
You ready? I'm gonna shout out all my favorite people not from the Rangers board and who I haven't met IRL
