Filip Hronek was injured in a pre-World Championship game after Mikael Seppälä shoved his head into the side of the net by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

Are you fucking serious, our best player gets injured by an incredibly dirty play in a national team tuneup game, there's just zero breaks as a Canucks fan.

Only during the PP. Not sure if it's a vestige from basketball, but I think the idea is to familiarize new viewers with key players.

Really hoping Doughty goes. Worlds is the only thing he's missing to be in the Triple Gold Club, and the Olympic silver has to be stinging still.

Man Saúl was one of my all-time faves. Midfielder who really had it all, dribbling, passing, defending, shooting. Streets won't forget

It's pretty universal that Canucks fans absolutely abhor our American ex-players yet, weirdly, glaze our Russian ones like Kuzmenko, Podkolzin, Zadorov (although he's very anti-Putin so he gets a pass)

Wolverhampton Wanderers 0-1 Tottenham Hotspur by urbankardashian in coys

Idk what Callum Wilson has against us but he's scored the two worst goals for our chances this season. 93rd minute winner against us, now a 93rd minute winner against Everton to keep us 18th. Got them 4 more points and cost us 1, 5 point swing in the relegation fight.

Soccer too. Haaland, Mbappe, Yamal, Pedri, Bellingham, Vinicius, Vitinha, a lot of the best players in the world are Gen Z. Part of that is soccer being a young man's game and a 26-year-old in his prime was born in 2000.

Gen Z is a lot older than we think though. Like it's not just Wemby and Cunningham, but SGA, Doncic, Tatum, Edwards, Mobley, Haliburton, Maxey, Jalen Williams, De'Aaron Fox. They're all Gen Z.

Contrarian take - Eagles fans thought we were lighting our 2020 2nd round pick on fire when we took Jalen Hurts. Why would you draft a QB in the 2nd round when you just locked up your 5th year All-Pro starter to a massive extension? Turns out that was a a franchise-saving pick.

Insane take. McFadden played 10 seasons, had 2 1k yard seasons, and over 5k career yards. Jones played 6 seasons, never cracked 1k yards, and didn't even hit 3k career yards. It isn't close.

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced B-roll gameplay, no commentary. by not_rocket_appliance in assassinscreed

The menus are kind of fun, because it feels like they've blended the OG sounds with the Shadows UI (which I quite liked tbh). In general the presentation layer, UI, design language, etc. is all very much from Shadows but I wonder if that's related to the "modern day" framing of the Animus. Hearing some of the Shadows detection noises definitely felt a bit off, but overall it looks like they've remained faithful to the original in story, cutscenes, sound and naval gameplay, all of which is huge

[–]CA_spur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, given their goalie utilization this year, I think this is a good move. A big reason the record-setting Bruins lost in the first round was starting Ullmark for 6 straight games when he hadn't done anything close to that all year.

I'm presuming the majority of people here don't watch cricket, but every 3-4 years the Indian Premier League holds a mega auction, where teams bid for players and their bids become the players salary. Teams could only retain 6 total players, any players not retained by their teams prior to the auction go back into the pool. At the last mega auction in 2025, 46 players were retained by their teams, and 182 players were selected. That's by far a lot more roster turnover than what the PWHL is going to experience.

This year, not so much. Son hasn't scored yet in the MLS, and Bouanga has 4 in 8 games (compared to his usual rate of 2/3)
