His performances and stats with Beyer Leverkusen were very impressive. Between him & Mosquera, Berta did a great job providing cover.

You can always play this redraft game, many late 1st and 2nd round examples, however top 3 picks more consistently develop into top players.
Pastrnak vs Virtanen highlights Bruins player development pipeline (at that time), and his work ethic, vs total lack of both from Nucks & Virtanen

It kind of is the point.
Last year was the most he’s ever been able to play in one league season (2700min) in his entire career. If you’re hoping he’s going to come in and have an uninterrupted run of games, I think you’ll be disappointed.

That’s why you don’t waste $300M on ineffective attackers, and instead invest in the likes of Timber, Calafiori etc

But Kerkez and Frimpong are really good!! πŸ˜‚
I don’t think either of them knows what the word β€œdefend” means

Fitness has always been Isak’s issue.
He’s averaged just over 28 league games played for the last 3 seasons. If LIV is expecting him to be more durable and available they haven’t done their due diligence

Last season he won because of a squad inherited from Klopp & Salah going supernova.
We’re getting to see the real Slot now.
Not pretty

…and then where? It’s got to be close enough to downtown/Burnaby/North Shore but also close to Surrey, Langley etc.
Close to a Skytrain line, NOT Fraser delta soil (ie Richmond, for an earthquake)

Sadly don’t see it happening

Not sure if greater Van could support an MLB team. 81 home games, median MLB attendance approx 30,000/game, avg ticket price $80USD.
Yes there’s a vibrant baseball culture/community here, doubt it’s that strong and affluent.

Not to mention a stadium…likely $500M for land alone, $1B for the building

An open play, counter attacking goal?
Is this allowed? Oh whatever will the chattering pundits say?
Fantastic sweeping pass by Gyokeres to set it up too.
RICE!!

Chaos agent Calafiori may be my one of my favourite Arsenal players to watch in the opposition box #COYG #Arsenal

I can’t imagine a single EPL referee or VAR official has a betting account, or places bets through family πŸ™„
Specifically those yellows given for time-wasting?
I’m sure it’s just repentant players like Tonali

There’s no harm in kids staying up late to watch a World Series or Stanley Cup Finals. Formative memories.

Really??? 8pm EST is that hard???
The major networks ALWAYS cater to the east coast β€œcentre of the universe” fans:
See Leafs or Habs visiting Canucks, or Flames or Oilers…4pm PST start times.
Just stay up. The world doesn’t revolve around EST

Kane with a gawd awful pass in the D zone then goes offside at the other end.
Really? Nucks now calling up U11 players? #Canucks

I much preferred falling asleep midgame and hoping 1-2 of our 12 shots went in.

One of the few things Arsenal & UTD fans can agree on: the need for more suffering and humiliation for arrogant Scousers

Then Liverpool’s creaky, aging defence cut to shreds by pace for goal #2.

Absolutely loving this hate-watch of Brentford v Liverpool. LIV getting cut apart, midfield ineffective, Konate outpaced. LIV players flopping for penalties 🀣
2-0 at halftime. Come on Bee’s!
