It’s a 3rd straight World Cup where Germany has failed to make it to the round of 16

[Jeff Veillette @JeffVeillette]

Over half a point a game, high-end playmaking numbers, Leafs had a better share of the shots with him on the ice than off. 25 years old. QO was about $4.1 million. Where do the Leafs think they're finding a similar package for less money?

people from non-western countries will always be the reflection of their horrible government and will not be given the benefit of the doubt that they dont share the same belief but god forbid u ask an american whats their stance on us politics bc 'they arent their government'

I again point out: “The Bolsheviks conspire with the untermenschen to sap our will to power, and - by hidden, sneaky means - to undermine and destroy the Reich” is not just similar to the content of Mein Kampf. *It is* Hitler’s sales pitch, right at the core of the project.

Gavin McKenna on Toronto pressure:

“When you go to a fanbase like that and you do well, it’s the best spot to be. It’s the greatest market out there. I’m confident in myself, and I want to do good. So, hopefully the fan base falls in love with me and it’s a good time.”

Gavin McKenna on Auston Matthews: “My captain… He’s on the first line. I’ll have to prove myself to play with a player like that, but that’s my goal…. My game is a playmaker. He’s a shooter. I think we could complement each other pretty well.”

ELEVEN??!?!

[Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC]

Believe there is a long-term extension coming for Dorofeyev w/NYR.

I think 7 years, approx $11M

Such beautiful beadwork pins that McKenna has on his suit. His family are Wolf clan, which he talked about in the tattoo tour the NHL posted this week.

Anatomy of a successful rebuild 👷🚧🏗️

Forget the 'five-year plan.' It takes *at least* 10 years to build a champion.

For all the bellyaching about the big, bad hockey media, these are the kids of questions that World Cup media asks. Not to Brazil, Spain, Germany…to South Korea.

Can’t even imagine the whining that would occur if feet got put to the fire like this in hockey 😂

[The Players’ Tribune @PlayersTribune]

Jamal Musiala’s return to Germany wasn’t the easiest, but it was all worth it: “@FCBayern offered us the chance to move back home. Or I should say our ‘first home.’ I loved England. I felt part English, if I’m honest. It’s never an easy decision to uproot your life like that, but it really felt like fate. Something about Bayern just felt natural.

But….. OK, I am not going to lie to you. I could tell the version of the story where I go to Bayern and I got my lederhosen on, and I’m the little German boy coming home, and it’s all perfect.

But the truth is more complicated.

A few weeks before we moved to Munich, I broke my jaw. That is a story for another day. All you need to know is that I had to get two plates in my jaw, and the only thing that I could eat for weeks and weeks was soup and lasagna.

Lasagna, bro.

Lasagna.

I can’t even smell it anymore. I can’t even hear the word without getting ill. I ate so much of my mum’s lasagna that I’m traumatized. I ended up losing so much weight, and I wasn’t even a big guy to begin with. So now I’m this Chelsea academy kid who is moving to Bayern, and I’m like 60 kilos, and I can’t even really speak — I can just sort of mumble.

To set the record straight — I spoke German. (Stop laughing, Leroy. Stop, bro.) OK, I spoke German-ish. We always spoke German at home with my mum and dad. But you know how it is with your family, right? It was more like a casual, slang German. It wasn’t the German you learn in school, with the proper der, die, das. So now I’m showing up speaking rusty German, and my jaw can only open like 15%, and I’m trying to introduce myself to everybody.

It was crazy.

I’m sure everybody was looking at each other like, ‘He’s from Chelsea? The skinny one? Can he actually play football?’

That gave me a lot of motivation just to get back on the pitch and prove to everybody at the club that they were right to bet on me. I have to thank Miroslav Klose a lot for that time, because he was my coach on the U-17s, and he showed me no mercy. When it came to defending, I just didn’t get it. I was immature in that sense. I just want to attack and take people on, and he would drill it into me every single day that I had to defend....

I’m not going to lie, it was annoying at times. But he made me a more complete player, and we have such a good relationship. (He’s so satisfied with my defending now that he actually lets me practice finishing with him on the national team.)

Without him, I wouldn’t have made the jump so quick to the first team. That day was incredible.” https://t.co/3hi8RIxhDp
