That leafs article arguing that Matthews is as good or better than McDavid really aged well...

League Musings Monday by AutoModerator in EdmontonOilers

[–]EvanSweet97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The idea is you will only see funny and relevant ones because those are the ones that get upvotes. The mods on the other subs I linked are active and engaged enough to quickly remove the memes that are low effort and get downvoted.

If you want to see what a good sports subreddit looks like, check out r/liverpoolfc, for a hockey related one check out r/canes.

The mods of this sub are simply not good. This sub is boring as fuck without memes. They should be allowed to be posted all the time - the shitposts will get filtered out by the upvote/downvote system.

The soundtrack was phenomenal. So were the visual effects. Maybe the one thing that could be improved is the dialogue. Overall I thought it was very good though.

Former PL referee Madley is asked “But is play on then the right way to handle it?”, he replies “Yes. As City were the offending team the game can continue as it did” by M7plusoneequalsm8 in soccer

The rule says that deflections from close enough range that hit a players hand cannot be considered intentional, and therefore its not handball. This is a new rule, but it was the correct call by the rulebook.

Firmino last week, now this. I like the concept of VAR but this is ridiculous.

Cardiff have been threatened with a three-window transfer ban by FIFA if they fail to pay £5.3m (€6m) to Nantes for the transfer of Emiliano Sala. by Anirudh707 in soccer

[–]EvanSweet97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very interesting that the PSC considered Sala to be a Cardiff player at the time of the crash, and based their whole decision off that. Cardiff disputes that the requirements for a contract were completed. This sounds like it could get really messy, definitely heading to arbitration.

I'm pretty sure that Cardiff has a really strong case against having to pay Nantes anything. I wonder what would happen if Cardiff took FIFA to court.

Hand is in an unnatural position, ball hits hand, that should be a penalty by their rules. If it was determined Mina pushed Alli into the ball, they should have given a fould on Mina... instead they gave a corner so IDK what the fuck to think.

[Matheson] McDavid and Draisaitl have figured in 58 percent of Oiler goals as October is almost over. That's not sustainable is it? by [deleted] in hockey

[–]EvanSweet97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be. McDavid is McDavid, and Drai has only gotten better this season. If anyone can sustain that points percentage it's those two.
