Phil

I feel like we havent beaten Calgary this season.

I just assumed TOR G was playing LOL

Dear VHL GMs, @eaglesfan036, @YEAH!stlemania, @brovy, @Banackock, @Molholt, @gregreg, @Gooningitup, @Daniel, @Toast, @Advantage I am writing you this letter in the hopes that you’ll take me into consideration when scouting for the Season 52 draft. I feel like I will be a suitable addition to any team, and I will also be sending each of you a personalized letter, discussing precisely why I would fit in with your team. Let me first start by saying that growing up, I was an avid fan of the VHL. I’ve watched with Pride as Team Western Europe won multiple golds and watched some of my idols be inducted into the VHL Hall of Fame. I’ve supported the Calgary Wranglers my whole life, as Alberta, Canada, is a place I intend to visit before I leave this world. I was never good at expressing my strengths and weaknesses. Suffice to say that I think I have the speed, shooting accuracy, and hockey IQ to make it anywhere I go in this very prestigious league. Because of this, I have asked a few of my coaches and mentors to say a few words about my skills. I have left their contact information at the bottom in case you would like to verify the quotes. If you have any questions, feel free to email or call me back at any time. If I don’t pick up, then I’m either sleeping or training. “Shankly’s explosive. There’s really no other way to describe him. His first few strides on the ice are some of the quickest I’ve ever seen. Combine that with the fact that he’s already 6’3”, and you have a forward that can get from his zone to the attacking zone in mere seconds. Because of this, he’ll excel at any dump and chase offensive plays. You can guarantee he’ll beat the defenseman to puck… and if he doesn’t….” ~ Alan Smith; coach of the Liverpool Lasers “His massive size and speed will send defensemen, forwards, coaches, and fans into shock. He will strike fear into any opposition just by being on the ice. You’d think that with his big stature, he’d be laying out a lot of dirty hits, since he’s taller than most of the players he comes up against, but he has a remarkable awareness of where his opponents’ frames are, and will always manage to get himself low and square to the player to make the clean hit.” ~John Watson; VHL scout “It’s difficult to say just one thing about Shankly. Looking at him, you’d reckon that he’s the goon, the enforcer, but as soon as he gets possession of the puck, he won’t lose it until he’s made a pass, or the puck’s in the back of the net. He’s got that innate ability that all scorer’s do. That shooter’s instinct that shows you where the gaps in the goalies are. There will be times where he gets the puck with 3 guys swarming him and the goalie’s well positioned, but still manages to find the back of the net. It’s uncanny” ~Phil Rafter; Talent Manager of the Liverpool Lasers. “One thing he’ll have to work on are special teams and special plays. He does have great instincts on the ice, but if we’re running a set play, or a planned strategy for the penalty kill or powerplay, Shanker may not follow those plays. He’ll do what he thinks is best. Usually he has the right idea, but since his teammates don’t know what he’s thinking, his adjustments don’t always work. He’s got to understand that not everyone has the same hockey IQ as he does and more importantly. If the team agrees on a play, then stick to the damned play!” ~Alan Smith “Not surprising that a big man should need to work on his hands. With his gargantuan stick length, controlling the puck will always be an issue. The only times where it looks like he has hands like Thomas O’Malley is when he’s receiving a pass in a shooting position. But in open play, he’s less confident.” ~John Watson “A guy this big is always a target, especially if he, like Shankly, can shoot the puck. He must learn to not take the bait. He’s gotten himself into trouble a number of times with penalties because of it. Never an instigator, but has tremendous pride in his abilities, and if an opponent starts chirping, then he’ll be on them faster than ants at a picnic. Got to control himself and develop a tougher layer of skin” ~Phil Rafter Thank you for reading everyone. I am looking forward to hopefully being a part of one of your franchises. Once again I will be PM’ing each of you individually telling you why I think that I would work well with your organization. If you have any questions, please let me know.

I wanted to create as Paisley, but Phil Shankly sounded way better. Either way, win-win. Really hope you do re-create though! Let's expand to Liverpool!

SORRY @eaglesfan036 I was in the shower getting clean after meeting with @sterling] But yea, I accept his bjs

Shankly Has Come to the VHL “It’s been so long since I’ve taken a forward under my wing,” Knight told VHL.com this morning. “I really enjoy working with defensemen. Villeneuve and Hamilton have been very mature, stable characters, but I sort of miss the impetuousness of the youthful forwards. The kind that think they are going to become the greatest scorers ever. Of course, with Rafter, that was almost the case. Amazing talent, that man. Anyway, I’m keen to start working with Shankly. He’s got a ton of energy.” Knight spoke to us straight for 20 minutes, talking about his clients with tremendous pride. As you should know by now, he’s represented Phil Gerrard, Phil Rafter, Phil Villeneuve, Phil Hamilton, and now Phil Shankly will be his fifth player. Gerrard started his career as a RW but switched to C to help the Legion to a Cup. Rafter was one of the greatest centers ever in the VHL. Villeneuve, by Knight’s standard’s was a failure, and Hamilton appears to be his most decorated player. “I am honoured and proud to have won the lotto and allowed to be in the first group of agents allowed to bring in a second player at the same time to the VHL. The timing was perfect for me, because otherwise, I would have lost this talent.” Knight had actually just returned from a visit to England for his cousin’s wedding. He also took the opportunity to make a home call to Shankly and discuss when he’s going to declare for the VHL, and what to expect in the VHLM. “You’ll want to play on Bern if you can,” Knight reportedly told him. “The GM, @sterling , is one of the greatest and you’ll definitely gain a complete feel for the league very quickly there. Although if you hate the city, there are many competent and great GMs currently in the VHLM.(@Smarch @JardyB10@ADwyer87) Sure enough, just minutes after declaring for the S52 draft, the Bern GM had contacted Shankly, who agreed instantly, despite more offers just seconds later. “I am excited for Shankly and for myself, to be completely honest. I am definitely ready to embark on another adventure and am almost shocked at myself for finding a talent like Shankly to be my in-flight entertainment as well as my compass. He’s a boisterous lad who’s not only a terrific skater and sharp shooter, but has an exceptionally strong core. I would not be surprised if one day he wins the Boulet Trophy.” It is apparent just from his words that Knight is as giddy as a schoolgirl and just itching to get underway with Shankly. It’s been such a busy few weeks for him, that he hasn’t managed to stay on top of his current client, Hamilton, who’s busy being lazy in Cologne. He’s missed practice all last week for the first time in his career. That’s the sort of thing that Knight will not tolerate. “I’ll deal with him later,” Knight told us. “I know he’s been disappointed in his play this season, as it’s a big drop from last season, but that should have the opposite effect on him. It should make him practice more. I think he knows this, but he’ll also be expecting the hairdryer treatment from me and that’s exactly what he’s going to get. I wanted this week to be about Shankly, and it still will be, but if you want some comic relief, interview Hamilton after I’ve finished tearing him a new one.” Some potent words from the agent. We don’t dare take those words lightly. Hamilton still has the most practice hours out of the S45 class, already well over the 1000-mark, but with Hamilton now in his sixth season, he needs to ensure that he stays on top of his game, especially if he wants a shot at a third Cup. So this week’s been an interesting one for Phil Knight. Tune into KnightTime radio this Sunday to catch up on all the latest VHL news.

That's because I've written most of 'em

It's possible! But he's an inactive bum so he doesn't even know I have 2 players

I like it when you call me Big Poppa. I mean. @sterling, I accept

remember that time @CowboyinAmerica's Wingate gave up a goal to Cologne? Neither does anyone else.

o nice.. we scored more than the other team!

Well... I'll complain for you. WAHHH

I guess I forgot my offensive talent on the trophy case this season haha

Well... at least some of us showed up to played. I, for one, was masterbating in the shower

There is a new cougar in town. Wait, that sounded wrong. There’s a new cat in town… and he’s more assholish that all the cats in the world put together. The Knight agency has just released a statement this evening announcing the signing of a future phenom. The youngster hails from England, where all Knight’s clients come from. Unsurprisingly, his first name is also Phil. How does Knight find all these English Phils? I guess there’s a lot of them there. Not many will get the importance of the new signing’s last name, but there will be a few @boom , @CoachReilly). As the new left winger’s declaring for the S51 draft will be Phil Shankly. Phil is indeed a decent of a Liverpool FC legend: Bill Shankly, arguably the second greatest manager ever to grace the club (Paisley’s my #1… and I expect that Klopp will someday challenge for that). Shankly’s a hockey player though. I won’t elaborate any more on that. We’ll leave that for the Rookie Profile.

I'm so sad. I just finished the series. Clear Eyes, Full Hearts....

WOAH!

sweet

To answer the question in the title... no, she's not. But the STHS is a bitch
