Phil

At least this means that in at least one case, I will be selected first OA. Tho putting me up on a @Streetlight and @der meister to fill the gap missing in that line... would be devastating for the league.

Send me a list of your goals and then I could

Pay for my ticket and maybe!!

Bodybuilders vs Powerlifters Last week saw an immediate improvement in the game of Phil Shankly, reminding GMs (specifically @Advantage and @Mr. Power) of why he is he touted as the 1st overall selection in the upcoming Season 52 VHL Entry Draft. Of course, he is not the “undisputed” pick, due to the fact that there are a couple of blindingly good goalies in the draft as well.. as well as a handful of great forwards and a couple of good defensemen. Alright, so there's a lot of good picks... but SHANKLY IS ONE OF THEM! This spike in performance from Shankly could have something to do with his off-ice training. Many hockey players often overlook what they do off the ice, but the best players will tell you that it is just as, if not more important to train off the ice. Luckily for Phil Shankly, his player agent, Phil Knight, is a graduate in Kinesiology and has been bodybuilding for a number of years. Knight has always been actively involved in his players’ development, with the exception of Phil Villeneuve in the first half of his career. “Bodybuilding’s a passion of mine and I use it to help my players with their physical deficiencies. This allows the players to gain the mobility and strength to perform better on the ice.” This is the first time that Knight has ever undertaken a power forward, and he believes that it could be his best signing. “Obviously the player with the rawest talent I’ve ever worked with was Phil Rafter and honestly Hamilton’s proving to not be that far behind, but I am really looking forward (pun intended) to working with another winger, especially one with as much strength as Shankly is showing. “There’s a big difference between bodybuilding and power-lifting,” Knight continues. “Power-lifting is more about lifting the heaviest possible thing you can. These are the guys you see arching their backs and using their legs to push the bar up on a bench press, but the bodybuilders are the ones who target specific muscles and aim for symmetrical and aesthetically even muscles. This is way better in the athletic world as it will strength the targeted muscles, which will help decrease the risk of injury. It’s something every athlete should do. I’m just luckily enough to have the knowledge to use this to my players’ advantage.” Shankly’s program is a 6-workout a week regime which focuses on one major muscle group each workout. Day 1 is back, followed by chest, quads, thighs and calves, arms and abs, & finally shoulders and calves. This is his ninth day of the program so he will be doing Chest today. He told us that he’s never had a pump like he gets from these workouts… and that he’s never felt better or stronger on the ice. Phil Shankly enters the playoffs this weekend with VHLM team Bratislava Watchmen. The team (as including Shankly) has under-performed for roughly 65 games of the 72-game season but they are heating up at the right time, with Shankly averaging 3.75 points per game in the last 4 games of the season. If he can keep that production up, there’s not a team that can rival them. -- ~phil

oo at any rate I'll probably get both during the xmas sale because I like the main stories of the games. Though I just stared Shadow of Mordor. Got 6 hours of gameplay and loving the Sauron's Army Hierarchy facet of the game. So that'll keep me going until then

samsies.. except for about 10 minutes of advanced warfare. That was pretty neat. It's on my steam wishlist

3 0

Glad Shankly's heating up for the playoffs

16 shots, 4 points from Shankly? Finally, we are talking.

Dat's better from the Shankers

Thanks buddy. I like what you do and how you do it @JardyB10

dang

an unsurprising shut-out.

decent win gents!

lol. Didn't know that?

@.sniffuM Also is Phil DeRozen still kicking around there?

YOU CAN HAVE THEM ALL WHEN I RETIRE!!

So you got your formatting issue fixed then!! Wicked!

I know I am not the only one who's having a career year. There's got to be at least 5 of us, including @Draper, @Kendrick, @TheLastOlympian07, and most importantly @Higgins. Higgins' player is the only thing that's standing in my way of me reaching 2 of my 3 remaining goals (well technically all three). Recently, Velvet's been on fire and shot up in the lead for the Beketov Trophy, sadly leaving me in the wind. If he wins it this year, I do not think I'll ever win it with Hamilton and that dream will go out the window. The other goal was to win a third Labatte. Since I already have two, I'm not as concerned with that one, but if I weren't to get the Beketov, then I could definitely settle for a Labatte. This race will be just as close, if not, closer than the Beketov Trophy race. While I have 3 games left, I need 7 assists just to tied Velvet, so I'm kind already ceding that race. The Labatte Race is way more interesting, as we've got Velvet on 118, me on 110, and @sterling on 104. However, there's more than points to consider: Hamilton's leading his team in points and 2nd in +/-. he has 242:103 HITS to HTT, and just 69 SB. Velvet is 3rd on his team in points (22 points off lead), 5th in +/-, he has a 218:125 HITS to HTT, and 93 SB J. Hammy's 2nd on his team in points (13 points off lead), 4th in +/-, he has a 215:105 HITS to HTT, and 110 SB. These are all very close numbers... and if I had more shots blocked I would consider myself a shoe in, but even with that stat, I still think I stand a good chance to win. However, knowing how GMs vote, I feel like it will be a 9:1 victory for velvet. But the race is much, much closer than that!!

Answer this again, assuming that Phil is actually tfong. (LoL is fucking amazing) Is this the first time you've played on Horseback/ for the Wranglers? Current Favourite Song? Current Favourite Beverage? (Mine's coffee) Favourite of Phil's Players?

GO GO GO I NEED TO GET MORE ASSISTS!! I'm COMING FOR YOU @Higgins!!!
