Phil

So the off-season is chugging along and drawing inevitably closer to the start of the end of the road for Phil Strasmore. The old-timer defenseman will be entering his ninth and final season, a long career played out entirely in a Calgary Wranglers uniform. I think the only other player in VHL history to do this was Sterling Labatte, who also spent his career in Calgary and played nine seasons for reasons I have long since forgotten. Strasmore’s career has been predictable. He has consistently put up 55-65 points most seasons and gotten in the range of 225-275 and 150-170 hits and blocked shots, respectively. He managed to earn himself a Jake Wylde Trophy and, most proudly, helped the Wranglers to their own Continental Cup. He will never make it to the Hall of Fame but he will hold a few records for the franchise by this time next season. This means at the trade deadline, VHL Hall of Fame Builder, Phil Knight will be signing another player to the agency, marking it as his 10th! We still don’t have details other than the new player is named “Phil” and hails from Great Britain. Shocker. As for Strasmore, he is very excited for the start of the season. Statistically, he’s hoping to have a career year in points and hits. If he can finish his career strong, it will be a career that will be remembered fondly.

Drinks find me. Rum tonight while I wait for the laundry to finish ahaha

Grinding hard! Well played sir. Hope you get some time for some well deserved rest and relaxation

I mean, I know it's 2024, not 2014... the league, technological culture, the world, has changed a lot... but one of my favourite things about this community was coming to this thread late-night and just browsing the ridiculous threads that this subforum had to offer. Is that a thing of the past? Has Discord rendered this forum semi-redundant and inadvertently segregated the VHL community? Regardless, hi all of you. Hope your weekend is going well and you're doing great. I'm here if you want to have some good vibes.

put in the work but most importantly just be consistent. You don’t have to be the best, but if you show up with effort and a positive mindset all the time, you’ll see the results you want I’d sign Dixon because not only is he a terrific player @Ricer13 is a friend and family member here. convince all our roster players to put TPE into leadership. It works, people!! I usually read the VHL magazine (or these days the VSN) one just to familiarize myself with who’s in the draft, It’s the Leafs because they have ridiculous fans and they are the meme of the nhl because they cannot perform in the playoffs. seeing Mats Sundin’s Xmas Turkey, or him handing me the puck through the glass at an open practice.

Wow that interviewer was a dick! Class response though

1) after watching American underdog, do you think one of your future players will have a story like that to tell? 2) Calgary are firing!! What’s contributing to these results? 3) for your next player, will you choose to do 9 VHL seasons again? 4) what’s a phrase you hate? 5) when’s your son going to start his career on the vhl? 6) what other sports do you follow?

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?
