Mike Blueberg Show: Season 3 EP 1

 

Mike: Welcome one, and welcome all to the Mike Blueberg show. We are live every single day with all the latest news from the world of sports. I am your host, the one, the only, Mike Blueberg. I am joined as always by my lovely co-host Matthew Leclair.

 

Matthew: I am somewhat offended at being referred to as lovely, but I definitely have been called worse. So Mike, who are we talking with today?

 

Mike: We are joined by the most recent thing to pop up in the Victory Hockey League, Alex LeBlanc. But first, lets take a caller. We have Brandon on line one.

 

Brandon: Hey guys, love the show. But I gotta ask, So uh, who cares about Hockey anyway? And why are you talking to some guy named LeBlanc?

 

Mike: Thank you for your call. We spend time talking about anything sports related. I do think that Alex will be a great guest and will bring a lot to the show.

 

Alex: Well, thank you for having me. I wasn't expected to be vaguely insulted before even speaking. But yes. I am Alex LeBlanc. I am a 6' 185 pound defender out of the state of Texas, and I hope to make my mark on the VHLM.

 

Mike: LeBlanc, LeBlanc... for those who don't remember, remind them of the significance of the name LeBlanc in the world of sim league hockey.\

 

Alex: Well.... I guess you could say I come from a long line of mediocre hockey players. It all started with Ontario LeBlanc. He was a borderline hall of famer in a league that was defunct shortly before he retired. My cousin Brandon was a star in another league that went defunct after one season, and he had a brief stint in the VHL. Then there was Tex... his league of choice went belly up. Vivian was a great goalie, but she definitely struggled with some innuendo in the media before her desire to practice took a major hit. I guess most recently, my cousin Ontario Jr spent a season in the M for inexplicably retiring.

 

Mike: Man... that was a lot of exposition.

 

Matthew: I think we have interviewed several of these guys throughout the years. You LeBlanc's are great guests...

 

Mike: But I would have to agree that they have been mostly mediocre on the ice.

 

Matthew: Which begs the question... Alex, what about you is different?

 

Alex: I fear I was born with the same work ethic as my ancestors. We have a lot of potential, but sometimes, the love for the game fades. I play hockey, but sometimes, I feel that I play because I know that I can be great, and not because I love the game.

 

Mike: A tale as old as time. A prodigy who lacks love for what he does best.

 

Matthew: Regardless, I do think that there will be a market for your skillset... but, what is that skill set exactly?

 

Alex: I get the puck, and I make the right reads.

Matthew: Well, I think we are about out of time for this segment. Tune in after a quick commerical break as we interview rising SBDL star Javier Ramirez Jr.
