A great teammate and an even better friend @Psanchez55 ❤️ 

Blueberg: Brandon, what were your initial thoughts on the trade to Calgary?
 
LeBlanc: I think I laughed to be quite honest. Calgary traded away the pick right before I was selected. Now, somehow, a trade occurs and Calgary ends up with me anyway. 
 
Blueberg: Give us your thoughts on Davos. How were relations between yourself and the team? And, what are your thoughts about being traded away?
 
LeBlanc: There was no animosity between myself and Davos. I'm sure I would have stayed in Davos my whole career otherwise. There did seem to be a great absence of communication between us. Sometimes I wondered if they even recognized I was in their pipeline. 
 
Blueberg: Now that you are finally a member of the Calgary Wranglers...
 
LeBlanc: Yes, I mean, I kinda am inclined to joke about this whole situation. But really, I'm thrilled to be here in Calgary. It was the place I wanted to end up anyways, and now I am here. 
 
Blueberg: Well, I'm happy for you. You finally seem to be where you want to be. And hey, you still have the chance to prove the doubters wrong. 
 
LeBlanc: Yes. Being traded will allow me to keep that chip on my shoulder. That's what motivates me, and drives me to succeed.

@Psanchez55 I messaged you on discord, but sorry again. It sucks you never got to play a game with us, but the deal was too good to pass up on. I know you'll be a great member for the Wranglers ❤️
 
@Sharkstrong Welcome to Davos! You're gonna be a key part for us and can't wait to have you in the lineup
 
And yeah, I overpaid a hefty bunch for this. But, I had a need and I filled it. It may have cost me 3 first rounders today but i finally got my defense in order, and that's what I care about

Who's this Renomitsu kid, and why did he get a spot?
 
But really - I'm happy to be on board, and hopefully can help contribute to decision making as part of the BoG. Thanks for the consideration!

The Pokémon Reapers
 
It’s better to steal a good idea, than to come up with a crappy media spot. This is exactly what I had in mind after I noticed the Yukon Rush Pokémon article. As a big Pokémon fan myself, I felt we needed to have something like this done for Philadelphia. Blade actually created a room in discord where people could pick the Pokémon to represent them when she would do the story. However, that story was never released. I’m not sure if she still wants to do it, if so, we might have two of these, but this will be too much fun to do for me to pass up on.
 
Without further ado, here is my selection of the Pokémon Reapers line-up.
 
 
 
Blade Maiden - Mega Audino
 

 
The partner in crime for our players, but also the fixer of everything that goes wrong in the entire team. With a team full of diva’s you need someone who can heal all wounds and get them up to speed again, Mega Audino keeps our team up and running incident after incident after incident.

 
Alex Pearson - Blastoise
 

 
Pearson started the season off with full power on his cannons. He jump started the rankings for points scored quickly and has held his lead steadily over the other Reapers. Just like Blastoise, Pearson is not a real troublemaker, but an actually loyal companion. With his Hydro Cannons be your side the Reapers can extinguish any threat that is being fired at them. Pearson has evolved in a forward Philadelphia relies upon and has not dissapointed since. One of the most loyal companions any trainer could have.
 
Benny Graves - Duskull


 
One of the more recent additions to the Philadelpia Reapers is Benny Graves, a player with a name that fits the Reapers theme for sure. Graves is still a work in progress but he has chances to evolve to VHLM starter level and become a Dusclops, or to evolve to VHL starter level as a Dusknoir. But for now, the opponents of the Reapers are not in grave danger yet, but his time to shine will certainly come. Just you wait. 
 
Benson Kramer - Shellder
 

 
This is actually a hard one as I don’t really could think off any Pokémon that fits him, so I went for Shellder, as we didn't see him much. Kramer played for Minnesota as a free agent last season and was added to the Reapers line up, but he mostly hides in his shell as we haven’t seen him around the locker room much. Despite hiding in his shell armor, he still is around though to regularly update and grow into a much larger oyster that will likely still hide in his shell.
 
Brandon LeBlanc - Meganium
 

 
LeBlanc just is a person that you can’t get mad on yet he is still the highest scoring defenseman on the team. As a solid defense you will need a body that can take and dish out hits, and still keep standing on four legs to hand out the puck to your teammates. Leblanc really has it all and due to his friendly nature I decided to pick Meganium for him. He might be one of the most underrated players in the history of Philadelphia.

 
Brock Louth - Machoke
 

 
Just look at his render at the signature Jubo made for him, just look at his render at the signature Blade made for him. This is not your average guy. Brock Louth might be the most buff guy on the team, so we needed a buff pokemon for him. Since Louth doesn’t have four arms, we decided to give him just two arms instead and make him Machope. So be warned, if you trade away your Brock Louth, you might get a four handed Brock Louth back. With Machoke on your team, the Reapers bring in some extra strength to outmuscle their opponents, Buff Louth’s training has not been in vain!
 
Bud Knight - Aegislash
 

 
A knight in shining armor, despite Knight not being on discord himself , we still receive updates from his side through to his brother. And as an actual knight, it would be best to give Bud both a sword and a shield, bring in Aegislash, the perfect embodiment of Bud Knight in Pokémon form. Offensive form when he goes on the attack, but also able to kill the opponents powerplay by going defensive form. Knight is a reliable piece of the Reapers lineup.
 
Case Martell - Braviary
 

 
Somehow I see Martell as a real American Hero, so what would fit him better than Braviary, one of the fiercest creatures that shows their natural pride. As a true offensive force for the Reapers he is almost at a point per game ratio and helping his teammates succeed. Braviary will fight for his team and the same thing goes hand-in-hand for Martell. So a true fit!
 
Cinnamon Block - Tepig
 

 
There wasn’t really a block pokemon, or one that smelled like Cinnamon, but after googling I found that there was a Pokemon episode where one of the featured pokemon was actually named Cinnamon, so bring in the Tepig.  Tepig is a cute little pig with big dreams, just like Cinnamon Block, do not judge her on the outside as inside there will be a fierce fighter mentality. The first female skater in Reapers history will definitely not shy away from battle. Just like Tepig there is a true fighting spirit in her.
 
Condor Adrienne - Togekiss
 

 
This might be a weird pick to most that read this, but Togekiss and myself have come a long way since being the main member of my team in my competitive Pokémon period during the Diamond & Pearl era. During that era, my Togekiss was also named Captain Awesome and was the true leader of any team I created. It’s ability to boost his stats through Nasty Plot and the double flinch chance due to the Serene Grace ability in combination with Air Slash, gave him a 60% chance to stun the other Pokémon while also being bulky and actually doing more damage. And the saying is true, 60% of the time it works every time. Just not during the Smogon World Cup games I played where I went 0 wins and 3 losses for Team Netherlands. But as the captain of my team, I also pick Togekiss to represent Condor Adrienne.
 
David Lindberg - Galarian Linoone
 

 
Another person who we haven’t had much contact with, David Lindberg was acquired from Ottawa but hasn’t really said much in the locker room, he upgrades with press conferences and practice facilities but theres not really much to say, so what do we do then, we find a pokemon based on his player name. As Lin are the first three letters of Linoone, this seemed like a perfect fit. And with him going back to the franchise where he first started his career with, he must have a bit of a dark side. And indeed, this would be perfect for the new Galarian version of Linoone, even though the new Pokemon game is not released yet, David Lindberg is the first wild version that is encountered worldwide of the Galarian Linoone
 
Duncan Jeffers - Kangashkan
 

 
While this part isn’t correct in a gender way as Kangashkan are only female and Duncan Jeffers is still male the last time we checked under the team showers, but with a user name like tophdaddy, Jeffers is definitely a daddy on the team. As one of the S66 players he is also one of the players with most experience in the VHLM, despite being outclassed by most others on the team. Since the Kangashkan is the only Pokemon to carry around his kid, this seemed like the best possible choice for someone we haven’t seen active the last months (just like Kangashkan in competitive Pokémon).
 
Dylan Doyle - Rapidash
 

 
After some hard choices, this was an easier one, Doyle is one of the fastest guys on teams and earns TPE in a rapid pace. Since he was drafted by the Calgary Wranglers last year he is a perfect pick for the Rapidash Pokemon. The fiery Doyle has been a threat for enemy defences over the last season which resulted in him scoring over a point per game average. He is a great addition to the locker room and who wouldn’t want to have a friendly horse around, so Rapidash is a great pick for Dylan Doyle. 
 
Fang Flashback - Midnight Form Lycanroc
 

 
Just look at him, no matter if you look at Fang or at the Lycanroc, you see they have one thing in common and that is the crazyness in his eyes. Fang was a cheerful personality and was really playfull when he still was a young pup in the team. But after a certain pool party, there has released some kind of darkness in him that nobody had predicted to happen. This makes him a perfect option to be represented by the Midnight Lycanroc. Fierce in both the locker room and in battle. I am not sure how many opponents he tried to slash so far, as it is not a tracked statistic, but as soon as they come too close, they will get a direct hit of him.  The kid actually IS crazy, it’s not just a story.


 
Keith Harris - Tyrogue
 

 
The guy with the username Ty, deserves a Pokemon that starts with the same letters. A Tyrogue is a baby Pokémon who can evolve in either Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan or Hitmontop, so a lot of possibilities to grow. He has been gaining updates in a slow pace compared to others, but that doesn’t have to be a bad thing, this gives him time  to develop into a future asset for the Reapers. It will be nice to see which route Harris will take and how he will turn out for the future of Philadelphia.
 
Ricky Johnson - Noctowl
 

 
With a username of Midnite, a midnight lycanroc would have been fitting here, but that was already taken. So what Pokemon also live in the night? Owls! That’s right, Ricky Johnson is a night owl , funny enough this would also have fitted Fang as he has problems of getting into bed at a decent time. But Johnson would have a fitting Pokemon with Noctowl, so we’ll keep it this way without changing it around.
 
RJ Lloris - Zapdos
 

 
RJ Lloris will be our zapdos, not because he’s that legendary, but because of him being one of the prospects of the New York Americans. While Zapdos is yellow and this hasn’t got anything to do with the colors of the American, he is the native american thunderbird, which is as good as a comparison I could find for him. Lloris was drafted high and surpassed the tpe limit, meaning he will make his vhl debut next season, he is however only a small piece over the limit, so he will need to work hard to indeed shock the league with his presence. 
 
Scotty BigShotty - Conkeldurr
 

 
The guy has such a big shot, that he actually can hold sticks with both his hands and fire them at the same time. He has such a big shot, he could even use large bricks as sticks. Meet Conkeldurr, the living embodiement of BigShotty. Conkeldurr might be an underrated Pokemon but his strength is unmatched. As BigShotty loves to throw people around, he needs a strong and big Pokemon to show who he really is. With his strength and solid scoring ability, you will not get Conkeldurr or Scotty off the ice easily.

 
Sigard Gunnar - Alolan Sandslash
 

 
Our teams own icelandic player, what would be better than portray him than an actual ice pokemon. Sandslash always has been a Pokemon that could attack with full strength, but with the added touch of ice, you surely cannot underestimate him. He has shown he has what it takes to defeat goalies in the VHLM, Gunnar will also move up to the VHL next season after he’s drafted to slash some opponents defenses.
 
Sunny Burst - Solrock
 

 
Every team needs his ray of light and with Sunny you can smile every day. Shamefully Sunny is no longer active, but there is no other option here then to go with a Solrock to burst the locker room into a lightly atmosphere again.
 
Tauras Karazija - Tauros
 

 
The tradeline acquisition, Karazija his first name is reason enough to make him into a Tauros, the Lithuanian born player is definitely like a bull on the ice and he has a lot of room to grow for the next seasons. Philadelphia hopes he continues his practice and grows into a solid pillar for next year’s defence



 
This concludes the actual players that currently are on the Philadelphia Reapers, however we also have some old time reapers and fans that are going strong as our cheerleading squad (as well as a co-gm) and who would we be if we excluded them from our list. But that my friends, will be published another time!

All not well in Philly? Despite a 32-6 record, and a chance to repeat as league champions, things aren't all that great in the Philadelphia LR. Sources tell us that as recently as Saturday a fight broke out when Condor Adrienne threatened to put Brandon LeBlanc in a pink coffin. Apparently, the 16 point advantage LeBlanc has over his teammate is too much for the 6'8", 250 pound defensemen to take. Adrienne is quoted as saying "He won't outscore me for much longer when I'm done with him." With a 11 inch, and 65 lb advantage over the 5'9", 185 lb LeBlanc, we hope for LeBlanc's sake that Adrienne doesn't try anything. 
 
We reached out to Adrienne for comment, but he refused. We were able to obtain a comment from LeBlanc who said,  "Aww, y'all are really writing about this? Not about the fact that me and Condor have 108 total points in 38 games? That statement was made entirely in jest. Although I'm sure Adrienne legitimately wants to outscore me, me and him get along great. If we ever do get in a fight, it will be in the VHL when we're on separate teams." Despite the attempt to brush over the situation, it is clear that tensions in the locker room are high, and LeBlanc and Adrienne are holding it together for now for the good of the team.

@Psanchez55

In the first installment of VHLM Insight, we will take a look at the top two teams in the league, the team sitting comfortably at the bottom, and give an honorable mention. 
 
We're approaching the 30 games played mark in the VHLM, and the field is starting to take shape. The picture is becoming a bit clearer as teams that are dominating, teams that are in the middle of the pack, and teams who are falling out of playoff contention are settling in on the standings bracket.
 
The teams who make up the Top 5 are Philadelphia, Ottawa, Minnesota, Halifax, and Houston - each having less than 10 loses and coming in well above .500 in terms of wins and loses. Yukon currently sits in the sixth position, and is the only other team outside of the Top 5 to be above .500; the remaining five teams all sit well below. The exception to this is Saskatoon, who is only a few games back from evening out their average, and could potentially get it together to be above .500 at some point in the season.
 
THE TWO TITANS OF THE VHLM
 
Philadelphia currently sits on top of the VHLM with 47 points, and a record of 23-3-1. The Reapers leading scorer is Center Alex Pearson, who has 24 goals and 22 assists for a points total of 46. Pearson also leads the VHLM in goals. Defenseman Brandon LeBlanc leads the team in assists, with 33, but also currently sits 4th on the Reapers for goals with 12. LeBlanc also leads the league in assists, and is also sitting atop the league for Defensemen. Goalie Fang Flashback holds an impressive record of 22-2-0, a 2.16 Goals Against Average, with 5 Shutouts and a Save Percentage of .883. Flashback is number one in the league for wins, and has three assists, the most for any goalie in the league. With the help from their spectacular goalie, and their powerful offensive performance, it is easy to see why the Reapers are sitting atop the standings.
 
Ottawa finds themselves in second place with 43 points, two games behind the Reapers, with a record of 21-5-1. Center Zeno Minti leads the Lynx in both goals and assists, 20 and 29 respectively, for 49 points which is also the best on the team. Left Winger Anthony Hawk holds second place in points for the team at 41, and is probably one of the deadliest on the ice with his impressive 112 hits. Goalie Raymond Bernard has a record of 17-3-0, a Save Percentage of .87, 1 Shutout, and a Goals Against Average of 2.74. With the strong play from Minti and Hawk, look for Ottawa to stay on the heels of the Reapers in the coming week. 
 
STARTING AT THE BOTTOM
 
Sitting in the very last spot for the league is the Mississauga Hounds, who hold a record of 5-21-1 with 11 points. There's not a single player on the Hounds roster who has a positive -/+ rating, with the exception of one player who has only played a total of three games. You could blame the abysmal record on schedule strength, maybe. It's hard to win games when your leading goal scorer has only 7 goals in the 27 games they have played, and the rest of the offense isn't getting enough chances to help produce. Maybe some trades could help correct the ship on this team, time will tell, but
for now they looked to be destined to sit at the bottom of the pack. 
 
HONORABLE MENTION
 
It's worth noting the play from the Minnesota Storm, who currently hold the third place spot in the standings at a record of 20-6-1, sitting one game behind Ottawa with 41 points. Defenseman Kefka Palazzo leads the team with 44 points, and also leads in assists with 30. Left Winger Berocka Sundqvist leading the team in goals with 20. Goalie Justin Cole has a 20-6-1 record, an impressive 7 Shutouts, and an equally impressive .899 Save Percentage. Cole leads the league for goalies in Goals Against Average (1.91), Shutouts (7), and comes in second for Goals Against Average (0.899). Sitting one game back from Ottawa, look for the landscape to change when it comes to the Top Three Teams in the VHLM.

An invitation for the White House

 
While the Fake News Media had not picked up this story yet for national coverage, we have insider information that the following events actually happened. The Philadelphia Reapers, who had won the Season 66 Founder’s Cup, were invited to the White House by the president of the united states of america, to celebrate their victory.  They were also joined by the next generation of Reapers, as the team is an actual family for eachother, no one is left out. The day started with the president, he who shall not be named, who started of with a speech were he congratulated everyone on their fine achievement in keeping this cup away from Canada. Edward Vigneault was triggered by this remark, saying Canada contributed as much to the victory as the Americans and threw a poutine in his face. No one even knew why he was carrying that, but that was only the start of the visit. 
 

 
After the speech was done the Reapers were invited to a ‘home cooked’ meal by the in house chefs of he who shall not be named: McDonald’s , Kentucky Fried Chicken and New York Pizza. When the personal of the trainers Kyle Sabertooth saw this he immediatly forwarded to the table and yes, you guessed right:
 
Step 1:
 
┬─┬ノ( º _ ºノ)
 
 
Step 2:
 
┻━┻︵ \(°□°)/ ︵ ┻━┻
 
 
Indeed, all the tables had to be flipped with all the 'food' (as much as you can call it food in Sabertooths eyes) was thrown away all over the ground. "You are not feeding my athletes this kind of crap you monster" he shouted. Yes, quite the start of the evening... Hiding in a corner while this all happened was Mrs Maiden, the Philadelphia General Manager, who only just now realised that she brought even more insane people to the White House (next to those already living there) and this could only end badly.
 

To get everyone away from the mess 'he who shall not be named' asked everyone to calm down. There was a party in the main hall with his personal playlist. There would also be drinks and snacks (nothing healthy, but Sabertooth was already removed from the party to be locked up in the local police station) so everyone could have a great time, the best time in the world, a great time like no one else had before.
 
 
The first song started playing and Zappa was sounding over the speakers. Well this shouldn't be too bad everyone thought, I really expected worse from him. Shamefully not everyone agreed. Icelandic player Sigard Gunnar started to make a fit about this and in a horrible icelandic accent he started screaming that we are not ballgame players, but that we play with pucks and sticks, almost tossing over the music installation, while security had to hold him back, he lifted his finger far enough to hit the next button, which soon enough he would regret, when a song of a young czech kid singing about Pokemon Go started. You saw the blood of Gunnar boiling up, it wouldn't take much or he would explode. Luckily the song didn't last long, but just as he started to calm down he heard the following lyrics sang over the speakers:
 
 
 
No, noo, nooo, nooooooooooooo!!!!!!  NOT FRIDAY, NOT FRIDAY!!!!!! Sigard shouted. I CANT TAKE THIS ANYMORE.  Sigard ran straight to the glass door escaping the party who so far played only played songs he really disliked.
 

 
 
With the glass shattering, the music also stopped playing. He who shall not be named started to shout 'who put this on my playlist? I only had great songs on it, the best songs in the world!' People were looking at him like he was crazy. Vigneault shouted to him in his frenglish accent YOU ADDED IT, IT HAS YOUR NAME ON THE SPOTIFY LIST.  And then it happened, a 15-second intro started followed by a bass drop,15 seconds with the bass and a lion roar at the end of the first 30 seconds. Yes.... it was the Harlem Shake. Vigneault also started to get angrier and angrier. WE WERE PROMISED GOOD MUSIC!  'Ok ok' he who shall not be named said, lets try this then. This is really one of my favourites.  And while he said it, we were hearing 'a little bit of monica in my life, a little bit of erica by my side...'  now Condor Adrienne also started to look angry... 'God I hate this song' he whisper in Vigneaults ear. We need to get find a way to end this night, or we will be scarred for life by this.  When the next song started to play 'DES-PA-CITO" Vigneault couldnt do anything but agree to Adrienne. Okay, you have a plan for this? Because I cant take this much longer. 
 
 
Wait guys wait.... If you dont like this one, maybe you will enjoy this artist I brought in for you, it is the best artist in the world, he is so good, you have not seen such a good artist in your life! Suddenly the spotlights went to the eastern side of the room where a small podium was build. A ukulele started to play a few chords. Vigneault heard the first tones and was like 'oh fuck'. It was indeed Livin'in the sunlight, lovin' in the moonlight, another song he hates with passion.  He stormed forward, grabbed the ukulele off the cover artist (because  let's be honest, he who shall not be named would not hire an a-artist for this) and started smashing his face in. It partly worked as the song did stop as the artist, but the side effects of broken bones and bleeding teeth, was not something the security liked to see as they grabbed Vigneault with four off them and put him back on the first plane to Moscow.
 

 
So before Adrienne and Vigneault even made any plans, Vigneault was gone and the party continued. Tu du du du du - tu du du du du du, he who shall not be named had started his spotify list again. Man, this song even was known in our part of the galaxy Adrienne mumbled, one time tu du du du du, two times tu du du du ,  and i fucking hate this. With that french canadian bastard gone I need to find more help, there must be someone able to end this party once and for all. He looked to his right side and he saw Kevin Low nodding, he knew exactly what Adrienne was thinking. The two of them ran suddenly towards their assistant general manager Julian Borwinn, Adrienne grabbed his legs, Low grabbed his arms and they started swinging. One.... two.... three....   and Adrienne already let go of his legs as they hit the ground on which Kevin goes four... five..... Adrienne shaken his head in disbelief, we always let go at three. Luckily Borwinn didnt land on his head before it would have been the end of a career, but their plan to toss the assistent gm towards the music system horribly failed with result that the next song started playing 'I'm blue da ba dee da ba daa' and just as we seen before with Gunnar and Vigneault, something just snapped with Adrienne. His 6'8 frame and 240 lbs stormed himself towards the sound system to make sure this was the day the music died. 
 

 
The music indeed stopped as the sound installation fell into pieces, his teammates were cheering as the party finally would be coming to an end, no more horrible music, no horrible food and finally rid of he who shall not be named. Let's all go home guys Brandon Leblanc said, I've had enough of this shit, let's get back to training for the next season. The team all left and took the plane back home and continue their workouts. On the plane Dylan Doyle had a surprise for the team, as he was the only one who stayed behind in the dining hall, he had gathered up all the Big Mac's he could find and started to passing them along, they might be cold, but food like this never loses its taste, it's almost like it's chemical! With Sabertooth still in prison, the team finally could enjoy their meal.
The next day after the Reapers had a practice session, Fox News was playing on the background and 'he who shall not be named' was discussing another of his worthless plans. "Thanks for coming out everyone, this will be a great speech, this will be the best speech ever" he said.  After recent events I have decided that Mexico is no longer a threat, we will not build a wall at the border, they wouldn't pay for it anyway. We now have decided we will build a wall around Philadelphia.  You noticed the crowd being confused, they really wondered what he smoked this time as it didn't make sense. Philadelphia is a threat to the nation, Philadelphia attacked the White House yesterday. One by one you saw the crowd moving away and you could hear them whispering. This time he has really lost it....

Love reading about my guys! LeBlanc is so critical to our success this season. Way to kill it out there!! 

A Mike Blueberg Exclusive
 
Mike Blueberg, the extraordinary journalist, who only ever seems to interview players represented by a very specific agent, caught up with one Brandon LeBlanc a few days ahead of the VHLM season opener.
 
 
 
M: So Brandon, what are your thoughts on the Reapers?
 
B: Wow, really well thought out question there. We are good. Very good. You can see our GM knows how to orchestrate a rebuild. We went from nothing to a team of borderline VHL guys. Basically, to use a baseball analogy, we went from a team of single A guys to triple A guys. If we don't win the
Championship, this season is probably a failure.
 
M: Ah, yes. This is not the first time you have played on a championship caliber hockey team. How does this team compare to Vienna.
 
B: Vienna was stacked. The work ethic of my teammates was crazy. Here, it seems skme of my team has already put in the crazy work. We won't win because we are developing at the fastest rate. We will win because we already developed rapidly.
 
M: Well, I have no idea what you mean by that. Can you clairify?
 
B: Well yes. In Vienna, me, my teammates, and the rest of the league all were around the same skill level at the time of the Draft. We got better faster. Here, the best players in the league are around the same level. We just have more of them. 
 
M: Again, I'm not understanding. But lets move on. What are your goals for this coming season.
 
B: I believe I have made my intentions clear. I want to be the best. I mean thats pretty obvious. Its what most people say. But it's true, so I gotta say it. On a more specific level, I want to lead the league in assists. Maybe I won't have the playing time to do that, I won't be disappointed as long as I'm on the leader board. But #1 in assists is my goal. Another goal is to not be a liability on defense. In Vienna, I sold out to be an elite passer. Here, I need to be more than just a facilitator. My teammates will be able to depend on me to be where I'm supposed to be, and my goalie can depend on me to prevent good looks. I don't plan on spending to much time in the penalty box either.
M: I see you have thought a lot about this...
 
B: (Interrupting) I've never been known as a dangerous goal scorer, but I don't plan to be invisible in that regard either. As best I can, I want to be a dangerous all around  player.
 
M: Ok,... Are you done talking yet? I've heard you say that you want to play in the VHLM as long as possible?
 
B: Well yes. I know my goal should be to eventually dominate in the VHL. But I'm not sure if that's what I want. I just wanna spend some time in this minor league until the team in Vienna comes back together. If that doesn't happen, I may just need to retire. 
 
M: Well that's all the time we have today. Thanks for taking the time with us Brandon.
