GM Blake Campbell Closing In

[Banackock 8,143]

Last week, Blake Campbell hit a milestone that only one other player has hit in the entirety of the Victory Hockey League. Advantage is the only other manager in the leagues history to hit 1,000 wins as a general manager in the league and for him, it's very fitting. Good guy, good GM. It's awesome that he got to the milestone first and it will always be something he has on me (I am 15% jealous). The feeling was heard around the league. Blake Campbell, after the game against the Vancouver Wolves that got him the legendary milestone, was heard yelling in the locker room "Fuck yeah. Here we fucking go boys. Here we fucking go". After the game, he was seen driving out from the arena with Nickelback cranked, screaming the words to "rockstar". As time has gone on, he's struggled a little bit to get to the big milestone of tying Advantage with 1,006 wins and a few things could be to blame for that. We did a little science stuff and we knocked it down to the theory that the boys are a little nervous and are playing as such. They know how much it means to Blake Campbell and because of that, they're trying to hard and are in their heads a little bit. They need to focus on the game and just play how they've been playing. Today they got a W against the Vancouver Wolves (again). It seems to be the norm usually. Hopefully this is something that gets the ball rolling and has him steam rolling to final getting the monkey off his back. As it stands, he's at 1,003 wins. 

 

"It's a super cool milestone to hit 1,000 wins. Only one other person has done it in league history and while everyone knows that I loved playing the game as a player, I love it even more as a manager. The fact I hit this milestone blows my mind. Now I'm creeping up on Advantage and am 3 wins away and I don't even know how to express it without seeming like an asshole. I'm excited. I'm proud. I'm pumping my tires a little bit. To be number one, to hold the most wins in history for GM's and to do it a little quicker than the others is super neat. It's a wicked privilege. Again, struggling here a bit but it's crazy. I cannot wait to get it and I'm excited to grow that number so that Riga's hedgehog struggles to get the job done. Gotta blow them candles out on Beav too who is getting up there in age. Fingers crossed. Hoping for a strong finish to the season. GO BEARS!"

 

The Seattle Bears have been struggling as of late and the schedule doesn't get much easier. What's even more crazy is how the top teams are all so close this season. Seattle just made a big trade that sent Ola Vikingstad to the Helsinki Titans for winger, Jim Bob. With the team already playing under their nerves and struggling to get their boss win number 1,0006 and 1,007, will this major shake up be a good thing for the team or will Jim Bob have nerves that only add to the teams tire fire? Something tells me no and it will start going the right way. All great things take time. This is something the Bears and Blake Campbell have done a great job at learning.
