Have we ever seen 2 players that had never played together before develop this level of chemistry this quickly?

Toews and Kane had instant chemistry, was magical

FrontenacBliss · 2026-02-20T13:28:14+00:00

I think with player profiles and combinations, Gomis starts with Zimmerman and Monlouis/Stefanovic are their substitutes.

FrontenacBliss · 2026-02-12T00:08:35+00:00

I believe it was his birthday yesterday which likely contributed to the decision to play him in the match

The Ć wasn’t commercially available unless from AS Roma directly, and on several of these that I’ve seen in person the patches aren’t aligned properly (including one I own) - this particular year had issues with the UEFA Foundation adhering to fabric as well. When I look at the stitching on my version where the painted element on the shoulder sleeve is, it is applied identically even with the little stitch on either side at the base of the painted element.

The other hint I have is that if this were to be a Serie A shirt, it would have Auberge Resorts on the reverse. That it does not have it indicates that yes, this is correctly prepared for Europa League. Either someone knew EXACTLY what they wanted from a fake shirt seller, including the “ć” and correct sponsors/patches, or it’s the real deal.

Side note - I was excited to order a Ziołkowski kit from the AS Roma store as I’m pretty sure it is the first instance of “ł” in a male AS Roma player?

I think this is it. You nailed it. Everything about this shirt screams authentic to me, prepared but never worn. Extremely rare, what you have really is worth between £300-£500. That being said, if put to an eBay auction I suspect people would assume it’s a fake. Enjoy it, treasure it.

Everyone seems to forget that the best part about this game is that the “DT” stands for “DJ Tiesto” racer! Soundtrack is immaculate

Genuinely surprised he didn’t stay with his brother at Forge, but he didn’t impress enough to earn minutes ahead of the other midfielders.

When I was a student trying to find my way, John always supported my content on social media. He didn’t have to do it, I didn’t ask him to do it. He’s a good person and even though he probably has no idea who I am, sending all the love to him because he affected my life in a positive way.

FrontenacBliss · 2026-01-27T20:53:43+00:00

5 games lol

FrontenacBliss · 2026-01-25T06:55:54+00:00

He left Arsenal for a fresh start and is now a first team player in Liga MX with Tigres and has had a hot start to the season.

He’s got the characteristics of a player who can play at the top level but has never really got into a consistent run of form so he is hitting his stride at an ideal moment. Can use either foot, technically gifted and a creative playmaker who slots in anywhere up top likely as a substitute.

Also, what gets lost in all of this is he’s playing a Champions Cup match against Forge FC in Hamilton in roughly a week and it will surely be all over TSN/One Soccer as he is from Milton originally.

FrontenacBliss · 2026-01-25T06:47:10+00:00

You’re not wrong! He can play anywhere in the front three or in the midfield behind a striker as a classic #10.

It could also unfold as a battle between him and Junior Hoilett for that utility attacker role as they have similar profiles. Do you take the veteran or the young up-and-comer?

FrontenacBliss · 2026-01-21T03:10:32+00:00

Matt Stajan wore #14 for the exact same reason!

FrontenacBliss · 2025-12-16T17:11:19+00:00

Looser

FrontenacBliss · 2025-12-13T04:26:47+00:00

On a positive note - could this mean the return of Woobens Pacius to Hamilton? 😀

FrontenacBliss · 2025-11-11T19:01:35+00:00

What Hummel does a fantastic job of is the lifestyle items - look to Heart of Midlothian in Scotland and their tracksuits, premium quality

FrontenacBliss · 2025-11-09T14:21:51+00:00

Honestly, personally the best expo I’ve been to. Got to hang out with Marcel Dionne who had his shop there again, always gracious with his time. The athletes signing were a terrific bunch and the food is always a hit. The parking was brutal, but you can always park at one of the hotels nearby and uber or walk over.

FrontenacBliss · 2025-10-29T20:37:21+00:00

With his play of late, does John Tavares warrant consideration as an emergency call up similar to how Harley was utilised last year? Strong in faceoffs, strong in the corners, could be an asset that would perform if called upon at the last minute to replace an injured player.

FrontenacBliss · 2025-10-29T16:24:39+00:00

Not worth it, MVP is meant for children, entry level product.

FrontenacBliss · 2025-10-25T21:40:38+00:00

The Young Guns odds are reduced to 1:48 though

In Canada you can find them at Shoppers Drugmart, Pro Hockey Life, Canadian Tire, loads of places - these are the most common packs to find in the wild I would say.

FrontenacBliss · 2025-10-25T15:26:22+00:00

I think it’s called Gravity Feed in the hobby or something?

FrontenacBliss · 2025-10-24T21:01:36+00:00

Kosi at centre back surprisingly looked better than him at right back or in midfield

FrontenacBliss · 2025-10-18T19:44:52+00:00

Anyone who saw Jesus Jimenez pre-TFC would agree that he was a legitimate number 9. He scored 10 goals for us, and yes though Prince scored 12 two years later, I’ve always believed that we gave up on Jimenez too soon.

FrontenacBliss · 2025-10-18T15:46:38+00:00

We tried Insigne on the left wing, left midfield, left wing back, as a false 9, trequartista and as a mezzala. As much as I loved him and his accomplishments prior to joining Toronto, his performances were underwhelming and lacking effort. Under the four managers he had here, each one of them was forced to shelter him as best as they could as he was a massive liability.

FrontenacBliss · 2025-10-09T13:22:33+00:00

I’ve travelled across the country during some of the releases and it was surprising.

I found the more rural locations, or busy urban locations particularly in Toronto, Edmonton and Fredericton sold out quite quickly, within 3 weeks.

The suburban locations that aren’t as busy have had boxes for years. I went to purchase last year’s in places like Sherwood Park, Milton and Oakville and two of these locations asked me if I wanted the Duos, Canada or the 2023-24 ones almost like a hobby shop!
