Beamer - Welcome to another instalment of GM Interviews with Beamer. Today's guest is the Windy City's Blackhawks GM Matt.....Matt. welcome dude. Question 1....how do you see your team faring this year on SCD?
Matt - Thanks Beamer. I think my team is set up very well this year. With my core guys all getting extensions, I knew getting my team ready for this year was going to be tough. Feel good about the young guys I brought in though and I think with my core group, we should be back in the playoff for the 5th..6th year in a row? Haven’t missed a SCD playoff since the league was started.
Beamer - Yah.. You and I are pretty long in the tooth here...and a pretty good run in the post season to date. I'll break out the bottle of Pink Whitney....a shot for you, a shot for me. Question 2. If you were walking in a dark alley, which two GMs in SCD would you want to help have your back in case any trouble breaks out? State why you'd want them by your side?
Matt - Sounds good to me. I think you and Wildchild. I know you’d have my back in any situation. Wildchild would just add some comedy to the situation.
Beamer - Other acceptable answers would be Voodoo (kicks people in the nuts), McBitter (eye gouges), Creegan (army vet), Jonathan (as strong as Popeye) and Andy Z (4th line beer league thug). Question 3. You're a new addition to the crayon box, what color would you be and why?
Matt - I’ll keep that in mind. Andy seems like the one I’d call. Learned my lesson messing with the 4th line beer league guy in the past.I’d go with black. It’s the alpha color. You can use it for detail, or you can use it to cover up a color. It’s the most dominate color.
Beamer - You know what they say...once you go black, you can never go back.... some chick told that to Gameface apparently..... Question 4. If I put you in a sealed room with a phone that had no dial tone, how would you fix it?
Matt - I’d hope you’d stock the room with beer first. If I had beer in me I’d fix it easily no problem. Just got to take it apart and move some wires around. If there’s no beer.. well I’d probably take it off the holder, stare at it for a few seconds, and then take a nap.
Beamer - Well, if I put beer in the room, you probably have to break the seal sooner....especially that cheap American beer. Naps are good too...that'd be my choice. Final question.... Who would win a battle between a ninja and a pirate? State the reasons why.
Matt - Hey cheap American beer does the job! Just need to add 10 beers to your normal amount to get your buzz. A pirate. I only need one reason as well. Have you seen Pirates of the Caribbean? Captain Jack Sparrow. Enough said.
Beamer - Seen those movies...like a pirate....I'm all about the Rum.. Captain Morgan Rum. Sure beats the 2-4 of American beer you'd need to get the same effect as one ounce of Spiced Rum. So yes...Pirate it is. Anyways, best of luck to you and your Blackhawks this year.
