Hey all! Going to introduce our players while waiting for NHL18 to finally arrive. Just a few questions from the players. First interviewed is our goalie Supreex. First ever Summer Cup winner from Rusty Blades. Name: Supreex Age: 25 Glove: Left Style: Butterfly Supreex started his ECL career in ECL3 with his first and only team by far Rusty Blades. For the team the first season was hard and play-offs slided out of reach. Supreex in the other hand had a great season as the defense of Rusty Blades was a bit off in their debute season. For ECL 4 the team and their goalie was much better prepared and recorded regular season 20-5-3. They managed to end up in 3th position in group 1, right after Carlsberg HC and Sjukstugan. Carlsberg winner of the Pro division lost only 4 games in regular season. Two of them was against Supreex's team with one of them being a shutout. But there was no fairytale ending after great season from Supreex. Pro division playoffs, semi final, game seven, overtime. That was where the season ended against well defending Silver Sword Griffins. After a while Summer Cup came and Supreex bounced right back up from the devastating loss in semi's. He was a beast on the net of NG Cheap Shot. Ended up as a winner in Summer Cup. Pelimies80 must had been happy about drafting this goalie to his Summer Cup team NG Cheap Shot. Now Supreex is getting ready for the ECL5 with his team Rusty Blades. He is really determined to achieve something great, that I can say. How did you find EASHL? Supreex: A friend recommended. Started to play random games with them. Why Rusty Blades? Supreex: "Drafted" from a Finnish nhl forum by them. Your main goals for NHL18? Supreex: Elite Lots of eSports these days. Why NHL-series from all of the alternatives? Supreex: Only game where I am good at. Mostly due to countless hours of playing. Your role-model from real hockey? Why? Supreex: Devan Dubnyk. Because goalie and Minnesota. Your skills as a goalie was truly noticed by the community during the Summer Cup. How does that make you feel and does it bring you some pressure? Supreex: Not really, I try not to think about it and just try to keep improving my playing. Thats all for now. Until the next player. https://www.facebook.com/RustyBladesEASHL

Name: koojiikoojii - Joe Happy Age: 31 Stick: Right Style: Grinder C/LW Koojikoojii aka Koutsi started his ECL-career at pretty much the same time he started EASHL. He started to play in ECL2 as a Murohoki player. He only got to play 8 games in the regular season and 9 playoffs games. During the ECL3 season he, Albatross and Kinnune from Murohoki started to play as a loan players with Rusty Blades. After the long ECL3 it was confirmed and koojiikoojii was one of the newest Rusty Blades members. Team captain Tanski87 had noticed Koutsi's drive to increase his playing level, ability to play smart defensive game and heart of a true team player. Koojiikoojii was named an assist capitain of Rusty Blades in ECL4. He played 24 games in the regular season scoring 43 points and finished with +32. It was a good season from Koutsi, but the "spring" was a little too short after Rusty Blades lost game 7 against Silver Sword Griffins in a thriller series. ECL5 is getting near and Koutsi is more than ready to play some great two-way hockey and to be a part of Rusty Blades that is better than ever. How did you find EASHL? koojiikoojii: I started playing eashl in NHL16. Me and my best mate Kinnunen were playing GM Connected in NHL14 and we tought when new Playstation comes we'll jump to eashl scene. So we did and we joined Murohoki before '15 christmas. We had a good playoff run in our first ECL2 season and I was sold in to this game mode! Why Rusty Blades? koojiikoojii: Rusty Blades was easy choice for me after I left Murohoki. We are mature nice potential, gaming wise also! Your main goals for NHL18? koojiikoojii: In NHL18 I will try to be as annoying as possible for enemies. Besides that, I will try to push my offensive skills further. Lots of eSports these days. Why NHL-series from all of the alternatives? koojiikoojii: I like team based eSports and NHL is great. Your role-model from real hockey? Why? koojiikoojii: There is none.

Go tauri go

I must thank you for the feedback and amount of likes for the first player introduction. I tought it was a bit short so I added a little something to it. Next player might be coming today.

This type of structure does very well in many formats, but entertainment usually don't tell the consumer what's coming up, simply because of the fact that one don't want to give away the element of surprise. I do believe a more spontaneous format is something that could help with the personality of the podcast in this case since the hosts already seem pretty structured in their natural state of mind. Makes for a good mix. We also already have the context before starting a new episode since the podcast solely focuses on ECL-talk, so we already know what we have to expect so no need for a lengthy introduction. .

Great job guys and a great initiative. I would like you to get a bit more personal tho, since your not doing a podcast about science or history. You are doing a podcast where the only thing that matters is your opinion about things - so speak up! Be spontaneous, humorous or even harsh if necessary. Also, I don't think there is no need for the intro where you structure what the whole podcast should be about. Gives the podcast that "cooperate feel" you want to avoid. But two interesting characters. This ought to be good when you find your rhythm. Keep going

Tauri is great! 😊

Thank you for the feedback @Lauri! While it is true that you can face off against anyone in EASHL, we did try to highlight just how well represented the ECL players were on the regular leaderboards - once again confirming that the ECL holds most of the top players. At least, that was what we tried to show When it comes to the games played, that was what we were able to see on the screenshots - the actual leaderboard was sorted by points scored for skaters and wins for goaltenders, the standard sort when entering the leaderboards. We will hopefully get even more ECL-specific in the show as the season grows closer!

Small and unite group of Finnish guys. Team was formed pretty much right after ECL2. There was a lot of players that had no 6vs6 experience and some without EASHL experience at all. I'm going to tell a bit about our guys in current roster. G: Supreex(A) A rough diamond when I found him wandering in Finnish gaming forum. It didn't take long to notice that he surely had skills to be a great goalie one day. Sure yeah he was not used to play 6vs6 against top players, so he naturally had some adjustments to do in his game. As the community has noticed he has became one of the best goaltenders in EASHL, if not the best. That is a choice of an opinion. Winner of the Summer Cup 2. LD: kinnune Good solid defender. Good eye for the game and doesnt have any big weaknesses. Came to Rusty from Murohoki with koojiikoojii and Albatrooss, who is playing in Sika these days. Does not talk much, but was once caught signing "We are the champions". RD: Pock79 Solid D. Does not probably play much, time will show. RD/C: Tanski87(C) Likes hitting and fast puck movement. Soon to be father of three, so old and tiiiireeed. RD: Kikiukko The one who speaks a lot. Oldest of the Kinnunen clan. Does not sing for some reason. Solid D-man like his younger brother Kinnune. Can adapt his game to any kind of situation. LW/C: Wuorio One of the original team members. Veteran of the game series. Good at both ends of the ice. Solid at pretty much everything. C/LW/D: koojiikoojii(A) Straight outta Joensuu. Likes to sing karaoke. Played in Murohoki before coming home to Rusty Blades. Two-way player. Does not wada-move lot, but does not need to. Good player to have for good team spirit. RW: Lamsa Dirty Kantor, also known as Vippiveikko, Hauki, gädda and lots of things. Knows how to score and likes to do it. A lot. I have known this guy for ages, he has known me for ages, we are godfathers of our first born kids. So I know him well. Give him the puck, he will score. Or be in off-side. That is pretty much our current roster. Facebook Twitch

Good points!

I agree on your former point but partially disagree on the latter. While the overview at the beginning is not absolutely necessary, it prepares the listener with a sense of structure that helps follow the podcast. That same principle is used in various media and is certainly not exclusive to formal contexts. Very often such a structuring introduction will be more subtle, though, and perhaps ECL Talk could learn from that to alleviate the sort of frigidity that I believe you're referring to. On the whole, I think the guys are keeping things pretty natural with a decent balance between form and the digressions of spontaneous banter.

Thx ma mään, its great to play with you

Nordic Lightning still looking for 2 defenders, * we will play elit div * eng speaking team msg psn Terrorsenkoi91i

I think content this time was a bit out of the main focus because in eashl you can faceoff against any team and who has played the most isnt really that interesting (personal opinion ofc), so ill hope next time we get something more ecl related topics

Well done! Can't wait for next

Much better quality of the sound this time. Good job @The_Alpha_Furyan & @vSilenttio 👏🏻

We made short preseason video for upcoming ECL season.
