Phil

Phil Strasmore is entering his 8th season and is fully depreciated, but it’s actually not been too horrid a start for the veteran defenseman. The Wranglers stumbled out of the gate initially but since the first set of games, they have been on fire. They currently sit second in the conference with a record of 6-2-2 for 14 points. Strasmore has already got 7 assists and a healthy 38 hits, good enough to be the 7th most in the league. Calgary are gelling well together at the moment. This is the second season this group has played together, and under the guidance of GM @leandrofg. The new Maestro even added a couple of great pieces during the off-season, going down to McDonald’s to pick up another type of McFleury and then to the Vatican to get a Pope. There is an energized buzz in Calgary that wasn’t quite there at the beginning of the season. This team should continue keep the crowds excited in Alberta! “We got some spunk in the locker room which will help translate into energy on ice,” Strasmore tells us. “I hope I can impart some of my experience on the newer players so they can continue to grow and develop their careers with the team.”

1) the season has started! How is Calgary faring? 2) These days, can you build a decent player as a welfare-er? 3) whats one thing you would like to see more of in the VHL? 4) Will you ever get back to weekly podcasts? 5) Will you ever make a HOF player again? 6) How’s the little one doing?

1. It's been a while. How's it going? 2. Thoughts on Calgary's potential this season. 3. How are you attempting to ward off depreciation this season? 4. Breakdown your VHFL choices for this season. 5. What shows are you watching? Any early favs? 6. Are you doing Dry January?

I figured that. With the hybrid attribute system, depreciation is already at least 2-fold harder than it was in the before-times. I would still make the upgrade expensive - possibly the most expensive purchase that could be made so potentially players may need to forego one of the other years of depreciation fighters. OBNF is $12,000,000, and depreciates you from 12% to 10% iirc. So having that option again is one suggestion. Or even do one like "Crosby's Cranium" for $12-14M. It would work like Jagr (and in addition to it), and allow for one additional stat to not depreciate at all. That's still way more than you could possibly bank in one or two seasons so overall your player's performance will still be going down - you just won't feel too useless, after putting in over a year's worth of work into a player.

Selfishly, I'd like to see another Player Store option for a depreciation fighter for those brave souls that want to play 9 seasons in the VHL. We have one for 7 and 8 (along with Jagr) so I think we should also have one for the ninth season.

Phil Strasmore - Poke-Checking

1. Helsinki. Because @Ricer13's Dixon is a living legend. 2. The proAM. Again, Ricer made me do it because he was sad there wasn't enough defensemen for it to start. Now I am a snowman 2. (expect really 3.) I am absolutely in the spirit! My front yard decorations are considered the best in my complex by my neighbours, I've strung up lights around my built-in cabinets and giant mirror to pair with my tree in the basement, I bought a shitton of eggnog and rum and my fav xmas ales. I am going to watch another xmas movie tonight. Etc. etc etc 4. oooo this is a hard one. I love my yorkshire puddings. Roast potatoes, while not exclusively confined to xmas are a staple side dish. I love my pepper jelly on crackers snack and pigs in a blanket. Breakfast sausauges as well. Terry's chocolate Orange. OMg i must be missing something. 5. No gifts. You're all adults. Let's just buy ourselves what we actually want and save our time and money. For the kiddies, that's easy though. As online as possible. 6. I wonder where this question came from.... There is no "favourite" They just come out at appropriate times like the time my father-in-law ask "Phil, did you get a haircut?" and I replied " no, I got them all cut!" Etc. Dad jokes are all situationally based.

I don’t have just one. It’s more of the totality of his impact to my time these past few years and the environment he built. It’s fitting that he is stepping down during Christmas. He’s our St. Nicholas. a couple things, mostly just no chemistry offensively. We needed to find better ways to stick the puck in the net. fight depreciation. It’s going to be very tough but I think I’ll have the banked TPE and money in my account to do it well definitely one of the two in the finals. Who? I do t know it’s probably 50/50 if ghosts exist in our world then it would stand to reason that they would be able to make or create audible words, yes.
