John Scott 46 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 McFullO’Schmidt Signs with Calgaryby Dick Shivers Stabby McFullO’Schmidt’s career looks like it’s starting to turn around. Shortly after waking up from his coma, the Calgary Wranglers have signed the undrafted defenseman to a 3 ELC deal worth 5 million. Stabby is a player who’s, frankly, not very good. He’s had a rough past and didn’t impress too many people at the S44 Draft Combine. When he was left alone in the player pool after the draft had concluded, he drank himself silly and punched himself into a coma, which lasted approximately 2 months. “I hit rock bottom.” Stabby admitted. “I didn’t know what else to do with my life and felt that it would be best to punch out my rage, since I couldn’t do it on the ice anymore.” Since waking up, Stabby has gone on a tear in for the league-leading Bratislava Watchmen in the VMHL, posting 3 assists and a +7 rating through 8 games with the club. “He’s got a new sense of purpose; a stronger focus and better perspective on his career,” teammate Simon Valmount remarked. “I can’t wait to see him in the big league, because if he keeps it up . . . he will surely make it.” After putting pen to paper, I had a chance to ask Stabby why he decided to sign with Calgary: “Tim Tebowgow and Chuck Goody both reached out to me and have been huge pillars of support since recovering.” Stabby said to reporters at the signing press conference. “Calgary is a young team and they are devoted to developing my skills to their full potential . . . I know we don’t look like much now, but get ready VHL, we’re coming.” The 7’0”, 300lb defenseman will stay with Bratislava this season; as their hopes of lifting the cup seem high in the early-going. The blue-liner didn’t see much time in his first season, but hopes that a year in the minors will help his recovery and strengthen his game as he anxiously awaits the trans-Atlantic flight to take him to Calgary. “I heard it’s cold there,” Stabby joked. “It’s not going to deter me from dropping the gloves, though.” Stabby is signed with the Wranglers through season 45. Here are the details: S43: 3,000,000 S44: 1,000,000 S45: 1,000,000 philthethrill81, eaglesfan036 and Caillean 3 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/19705-claimedmcfulloschmidt-signs-with-calgary-final-56/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixersfan594 247 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Content: 2.25/3 - Sorry, but it's way below the mandatory word count (450 words), much less the suggested word count. The content was good and I liked it but sadly it's not long enough. Grammar: 2/2 - Try to not write the shorter versions of words -- such as don't for did not. No glaring issues, but it was good enough. Appearance: 1/1 - Love the gifs Overall: 5.25/6 John Scott 1 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/19705-claimedmcfulloschmidt-signs-with-calgary-final-56/#findComment-213779 Share on other sites More sharing options...
