Defo gonna listen tomorrow - title sold me

From Klopp: "We had to be serious. But we needed to be cheeky as well. It was necessary. Barcelona defend predictable things well. But you need to be unpredictable at moments. I saw the ball flying in the goal, I didn’t see the corner. I didn’t see who took the corner. Ben Woodburn said ‘what happened?’"

SUCH A CHEEKY/ GENIUS MOVE!!! And good on Origi for recognizing it with the solid finish!!

'Barcelona couldn't handle the pressure' Liverpool 4-0 Barcelona (Agg: 4-3) Alan Shearer Former England captain on BBC Radio 5 Live I have never seen anything like this before. I've played at Anfield when there is a superb atmosphere but this is something else, something special. I've never seen Anfield like this and the fans were driving their players forward from start to finish, it's just been relentless, just incredible. It has been incredible from all the players, the decisions that went for and against them, the players they had to play without and then Robertson went off at half time. Wow. Liverpool showed their intent right from the off and if they were going to go out they were going to give it a right go. We're talking about Busquets, Suarez, Pique and the best player I've ever seen, Messi, and they could not handle it, they could not handle the pressure. Origi's hold-up play, his finishing, he ran Barcelona ragged and they couldn't handle him. He was superb.

Marleau's Murmurings #2 This podcast series are for my 3-pointers. Usually an update of whatever strikes Marleau's fancy! KnightTime Podcast Question Thread This is a division of KnightTime Radio. Run Time: 8.5 minutes

I'm coming for you... My nickname will be: Pavlov's Bell

I would fully agree with @K1NG LINUS! I have a crazy ex from Mississauga that ran at me with a butchers knife. I dated her in high school and first year university. Conversely, my wife is the most awesome woman I’ve met and I adore her! they lived only 1.3 Km away from each other. I met them 10 years apart. wonderful article btw

@Bushito I'm in Thanks for continuing to run this!!

1. I couldn't be more excited. I've worked my entire career to get to this point and so I am simultaneously excited and so nervous I may crap myself. The anticipation is the worst. As soon as I step out onto the ice though... it's game on!! 2. This is literally my first ever game in the VHL. In terms of expectations, I don't have any. I mean, I have a killer drive to win and dominant, but knowing that the VHL is an international league and has the best of the best, and I've only ever played in England, I feel it would be wise to temper my expectations. But DO NOT misinterpretation that as a lack of self-confidence! 3. I think Tannahill, @gregreg , if he decides to stay down with us, will put up the most points. He's a remarkably balanced offensive forward and I can't wait to play with him. I have a suspicion that Mikhailov @Big Mac will provide the most assists and I guarantee you that I will have the most hits. 4. Our top line will be very important for sure, but honestly, guys like Sparrow @Birdman and Clarke @Kyle along with Eagles @Greg_Di will be so very important to the success of this team. The two defensemen are big and powerful and will definitely show off their worth this season. Eagles is a phenom between the pipes and will definitely surprise many people! 5. I think I would love to have Kevin Low @Smarch come and join us to give us that offensive presence on defense. He seems to be the pinnacle of offensive defensemen and I am sure he'll be winning trophies wherever he goes. 6. Considering we are entering our first season, GMs @iRockstar & @MexicanCow123 have done a brilliant job in the draft and although we are not the deepest team, we are full of activity and are improving every week! We will definitely be more than a thorn in the sides of every single team! Bring on Season 67!!

Confirmed. You nailed it

Now Cologne is truly, the after shave

ugh not sure where the emote went... but you get it..

Tbh probably. I’ve done so many knight times, two pointers, live streams, that when I came back I figured I’d start at #1000

@diamond_ace so good to still see you around too! especially considering we’ve never really played on the same vhl team for long (or at all.. honestly can’t remember)

THat's a lot of TPE ... ?

You can't leave me now!! Ask @DollarAndADream how he feels about Bennington....

Phil Marleau's Rookie Profile Phil Marleau is a special breed of forwards. Born in the Virgin Islands, brought up in England, he was expected to play footie. Instead, it seems he has more talent than most at playing “stickie”. “His skating is phenomenal. I’ve worked with a lot of English talent, including Phil Shankly & Phil Villeneuve, who were also in a class of their own… but the way Marleau glides along the ice is like he was born with skates on. The power of his strides, the quickness of his feet. His skating allows him to drop the shoulder and pivot around you, or three quik strides after losing the puck and he’s caught up with you and taken it away again. Remarkable skater!” ~Patrick Wellington; Head Coach of Liverpool Lasers “I’d be lying if I said his shot was good. He got the quickest release ever… and patience. Having him on your team to practice with was a privilege… and also a constant reminder of how lucky I was that I didn’t have to face him come game time. He would point to exactly where he was going to shoot it and not only place it there, but the snap of the wrist he could either ping it in before I even realized it had left his stick, or hold it on his stick until I made the first move before slotting in a hole I made for him. I cannot praise his shooting ability enough!” ~Sam Terringer; Golie of Liverpool Lasers “Physicality is the attribute that will help him succeed in the VHL. Sure he has the shooting and the skating down, but it’s his power that will be the most help to him. His power makes him a fast skater, a hard checker, a powerful shooter. He needs to harness that power and go at his opponent. He will take penalties because of it, but if he doesn’t, he almost will certainly fail in this league” ~Phil Knight; VHL Hall of Fame Builder & Player Agent. “Discipline. That’s a point of weakness. He runs at people hard and sometimes getting over-emotional on the ice. If someone on the other team does something unsavory – you better watch out. Marleau will be going for you for the rest of the game. Most of the time it’s a protective act, but sometimes it can be considered hot headed. I am sure he will get into a few scraps in the VHL.” ~Mike Hunt; VHL Analysis “Puck Handling will be a skill he needs to work on. He got by in England because he could just blow by everyone, but in the VHL, the players will all be close to his speed, so he will need to handle the puck better. He needs softer hands to go with his speed because if he can do that, then he’ll be a formidable forward.” ~Phil Gerrard; Former VHL Player, VHL Analysis “He needs to work on his faceoffs. He’s got great hand-eye coordination but his faceoff skills are garbage. If he wins 30% of the draws in his opening year in the VHLM I will be surprised. If he wants to become a successful VHL player then he will absolutely need to focus on this skill, otherwise he’ll be putting his team at a disadvantage before the play even starts. This is my main worry for him.” ~Phil Knight; VHL Hall of Fame Builder & Player Agent. So It would see that Marleau, as an exciting young talent, still has plenty of work to do. His real test will begin on Monday, when Season 66 gets under way!

Llama's out of the farm now...
