Astro Called Up

[8Ovechkin8 262]

After an atrocious season by Astro Singh he has some how, some way, managed to get a call up from London United. When we could up with Astro, it was fair to say that he was shocked when he saw the press release on twitter. However, with the standard ESPN tweet, he noticed there was another tweet that gained more attention, and put a spotlight on him in a way he had never experienced before. "I was getting out of bed after a weekend bender, still drunk as fuck and all of a sudden I see this "ye" motherfucker tweeting about Jewish people and me getting called up. I didn't know what to make of it." We were confused as Ye, formally known as Kanye West, has more than likely never watched a game of hockey in his life, however, Astro Singh has seemed to caught a stray from his recent twitter rants. When asking Astro on how he felt being called out by such a public figure, he had a lot to say; " I hope he makes a song about me. You know there would be nothing more bad ass than rocking a diss track made about you by one of the world's most famous artists. I also, however, think this guy is off his fucking rocker. If he wants to come to London this season to watch a game, someone tell him I have two tickets waiting for him. Hopefully that will open his eyes on how good I am and can be in the future. Who knows, maybe he even offers me to be the first athlete to wear Yeezy skates? Actually scratch that, Jordan's are better anyways and I think we can all agree on that." 

 

To prove him wrong, Astro will need to do some major work this offseason as he will be limited in minutes and be playing with competition that is vastly greater than what he is use to. It is known that his defense needs improvement, and needs it fast. With only 16 blocked shots all year last season, he's lacking on a big part of the game where he could have an advantage, and that is his speed. Another area he looks to improve on heading into next season is his scoring. His scoring has seen steady improvements which the small sample size we have seen so far of his play however as we know, the VHL is a whole different animal and he will be needing to prove himself night in and night out to keep his roster spot, as well as advance in the line-up to get the 1st line minutes he desires going forward. There is a lot to live up to for this young 18 year old, lacing up the skates to tackle a league full of grown men. With the attention he's drawing, not only from the league but from the public, its safe to say that Astro loves the pressure and looks to prove everyone wrong going forward in this league.
