Last season: 37 goals + 73 pts (career high goals!)

History: played a handful of games in the 18-19 season, but his real rookie season was in 19-20 and was cut short due to covid. Broke out for real in the 20-21 season and in the 2022 offseason signed an 8 year contract extension !! Won the fastest skater competition at the 2021 all star game!

Profile: great goal scorer at his best, often passes for the "perfect play" instead of shooting. Not super physical

Other: besties with Robert Thomas, they even signed matching contracts <3

ROBERT THOMAS (A) (Thommer) (Tommer?)

Info: #18, C, STL 20th in 2017

Last season: 18 goals + 65 pts (team lead in assists !)

History: played most of the 18-19 season and won the cup as a rookie! Had a good season considering he was on a team of more dominant veterans, very notably received That One Hit from Krug in the SCF

Profile: Not a massive goal scorer but definitely can score, more of a playmaker. Struggles with overpassing for the perfect play. Resident faceoff man post-ROR trade.

Other: besties with Kyrou :)

PAVEL BUCHNEVICH (Buch)

Info: #89, LW, NYR 75th in 2013

Last season: 26 goals + 67 pts

JAKE NEIGHBOURS (Jakey) (?)

Info: #63, LW, STL 26th in 2020

History: Technically in his sophomore season, was unexpectedly called up for 43 games last season + made the roster full time this year out of camp. Worked his way up from the fourth line to the first line before settling down to the second line after the coaching change. He's having whatever the opposite of a sophomore slump is! It's definitely been a breakout season for him so far

Profile: Good goal scorer, was briefly leading the team in goals. Very physical guy, doesn't take many penalties considering he's not afraid to throw himself around

Other: Roommates with rookie goalie Hofer, and they both spent the Christmas holidays with the Schenn family! They do a very cute little thing during the goalie headbutt line :)

KEVIN HAYES (Hayesy)

Info: #12, C, CHI 24th in 2010 (listed as LW ? but has been playing center)

Last season: 18 goals + 54 pts (PHI)

History: Drafted by Chicago but played for Boston College (apparently had an injury where he almost lost his leg????). Played several years on the Rangers, about ten minutes in Winnipeg, played several years in Philadelphia, and got traded to the Blues in the 2023 offseason for a couple of rocks (a 6th round pick). Part of the controversial trade that made Krug invoke his no-trade clause.

Profile: Good depth scoring and fantastic faceoff man. Decently physical player and he battles well enough that he's already got 10 goals to show for it.

Other: cousin of Keith Tkachuk! His brother (former player, retired in 2019) unfortunately passed away in 2021 and every time he scores, he points to the sky for him :,)

KASPERI KAPANEN (Kappy)

Info: #42, RW, PIT 22nd in 2014

Last season: 15 goals + 34 pts (PIT + STL)

History: Drafted by the Penguins but was traded to the Leafs where he played 5 seasons, then traded BACK to the Penguins where he played 2 1/2 seasons, then put on waivers. The Blues picked him up in 2023 and he put up a solid 14 pts in 23 games. He fought his way up from the minors and has played exclusively in the NHL since the 18-19 season.

Profile: Good depth player. Very fast but doesn't shoot very much. Currently on the fourth line, usually higher but was moved down as other players (notable Neighbours) moved up the lineup.

NATHAN WALKER (Walks)

Info: #26, LW, WSH 89 in 2014 (currently playing center, my sources are conflicting but he's currently playing center so. he might be a center)

Last season: 2 goals + 10 pts

History: He's Australian! He was born in Wales! He holds basically all of the Australian records since he's one of like 4 Aussie players ever. He played his first NHL games in the 2018 playoffs and won the cup the with Capitals! Unfortunately did not play enough games for his name to be on the cup. He's technically only played a handful of games this year and started with the AHL team but he's been on the team for a few years now and he just signed a 2-year one-way extention, so you'll probably be seeing more of him :)

Profile: Physical player despite being undersized (5'9). Not a big scorer but provides a major physical presence on a not very physical team.

Other: look at his instagram right now his kids are so goddamn adorable

ALEXEY TOROPCHENO (Torpo)

Info: #13, RW, STL 113th in 2017

Last season: 10 goals + 19 pts

History: Played in the KHL in 20-21 due to issues with the Blues AHL affiliate (goodbye San Antonio Rampage, fuck VGK). Made his Blues debut when a covid outbreak on the team forced them to call up a number of players.

Profile: Physical player! Kinda massive (6'6) so he can and WILL run guys over. Fast and relentless player who doesn't give up the puck easily. Mostly a 4th line grinder but he WORKS on that 4th line. Great penalty killer, already has 2 shorthanded goals on the season

Other: this has less of an impact now because it's just him and buch, but back when there were numerous russian players i always called him my favorite russian. this still stands <3

OSKAR SUNDQVIST (Sunny)

Info: #70, C, PIT 81st in 2012

Last season: 10 goals + 28 pts (DET + MIN)

History: The Blues offseason signing of the century. Played a handful of games with the Penguins in the 16-17 season when they won the cup, but didn't play enough games for his name to be on it. Signed to the Blues 18-19 team on a one-year deal and had his best season to date, won the cup for real this time to boot. Traded to the Red Wings in 2022, then traded to the Wild at the 2023 deadline.

Profile: As a center, he's a solid faceoff man, a solid physical presence, and I think he really exudes everything that worked about the 2019 team. Good defensive forward on the fourth line.

Other: A huge fan of the STL MLS team! Went to games even before he had officially signed here. I think the entire city of STL likes this guy he seems cool. Also the Sundqvist + Walman for Leddy + Witkowski trade is known for being absolutely awful. jake walman if ur reading this pls come back

And that's all for the forwards! This is what the roster currently looks like (1/14/24) and other players who are called up/down frequently will be in a separate section

It’s the final countdown

And so with 24 hours to go before I begin my journey home, I can’t help but feel I’m ready.

I’ve had an amazing time away, but I think after finishing my last game (Lakers v Trailblazers) last night and a day of just wandering around the LA burbs, I miss home and all who are home.

Also, I’m also starting to look like a hobo, as you’ll see in the images. Yesterday was a particularly long day and the photo in front of the staples center will exhibit the result. Please be kind, unlike my dad haha. According to him, I’m a “Hoopoo” now.

The game last night was one of the more enjoyable games and again blessed to be there for a special occasion. Last night I was there to witness and also managed to capture Lebron James moving to the 5th all time highest scorer. That was amazing and unexpected from my part.

Lebron makes things look way too easy and he also plays as if it’s his backyard and everyone in it (including his teammates) are just visiting. He’s got it down and it really shows.

The crowd were pretty entertaining and so full of hype with attitude, which was good and bad. Loved it when a player gets humiliated, the crowd goes all “def jam” and add to the roasting/humiliation of the player, sometimes even their own haha.

Speaking of interactions between players and crowd, I had a thought last night...if music and basketball MCs weren’t there, it feels as tho the game would be like “The Big Bang theory” without a laugh track...it would be pretty flat.

Overall, I really liked going out and based on my experiences last night, I was very tempted to pay $7 to see the clippers tonight...$7 haha. But I did not, because as I eluded before...”stick a fork in me Jerry, I’m done” (ref).

Just wanted to relax today and cross an important burger off my to do list, the double double from In-n-Out. I started my day at Denny’s for breakfast and had the “All American Slam”. It was filling and wanted to work it off, so I ended up trekking for a couple of hours through some sketchy neighborhoods (definitely not on a travel guide) and got to my burger, I mean destination.

It was delicious and the experience of being back there was kind of emotional. It was great!

This evening was a very relaxed and a pleasant one, which I mainly spent with my AIRBNB host, Marcus. Listened to the penguins lose again (another reason to head home) and then the Packers lose to the Seahawks. “Woof! Buzz’ girlfriend!” (Ref).

I also packed my bag for the final time...I feel as tho I’m smuggling hams, it’s chockers, it’s like church in Easter.

So, only one more day before I leave late tomorrow evening local time, approximately 6pm Saturday evening Adelaide time. I may suss out the observatory tomorrow and then start peppering for the long flight home.

Looking forward to seeing you all, probably have a couple more posts tomorrow while I wait at LAX and then I’m back on my social media black out. You can go back to getting my random thoughts in person haha

Have a great Friday evening and Saturday!

Take care!

'Lee Jae-sung vs Jung Woo-young' Bundesliga Korean Derby possibility? 먹튀검증

먹튀검증먹튀사이트먹튀검증사이트먹튀 검증 먹튀 사이트 먹튀 검증 사이트

The Korean derby between Jae-seong Lee (Mainz) and Woo-young Jung (Freiburg), who are playing in the German Bundesliga, is highly anticipated.

Mainz and Freiburg will face off in the fifth round of the 2021-2022 German Bundesliga at the Meba Arena located in Mainz, Germany on the 18th at 10:30 pm (Korean time).

For domestic fans, the match between Lee Jae-sung and Jung Woo-young is expected. Lee Jae-seong left Holsteinkil (2nd division) during the summer transfer period and moved to Mainz to enter the Bundesliga. Jung Woo-young joined Bayern Munich after graduating from high school in 2018, and moved to Freiburg in 2019 after experiencing difficulties in starting competition. It has already been 4 years since I lived in Germany.

Jung Woo-young's performance is good from the beginning of this season. He started all four league games and scored two goals. Even at the beginning of the game, he is the top scorer on the team. He was also named Player of the Year for scoring multiple goals in the last three rounds against Stuttgart. Recently, he was selected by the Bundesliga official website to conduct an interview and became a hot topic.

The Bundesliga official website predicted Woo-Young Jung's starting sortie. He predicted that he would form an attack with Lucas Hoeller. He is likely to appear in a five-game winning streak alongside key players such as Christian Gunter, Roland Sulloy, Vincenzo Gripo and Philip Linhardt.

However, Jae-Sung Lee was not on the expected starting list. Jae-Sung Lee started in his first two league games, but has appeared as a substitute in the last two games. He is adjusting well to the team, receiving constant opportunities from coach Bo Svensson. Even if Jae-Sung Lee does not play as a starter, if he appears as a substitute in the second half, the second Korean derby of the season will be completed. At the time of the opening match, Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton Wanderers) appeared as a substitute in the Mainz vs. RB Leipzig match, and the first Korean derby of the season was held.

Both teams are in good shape early in the season. Mainz was in 4th place with 3 wins and 1 loss, and Freiburg was placed in 5th place, one notch lower with 2 wins and 2 draws. It looks like it will be a game that can greatly influence the ranking fight in the future.

Top five: Suresh Raina and MS Dhoni top CSK's all-time run getters' list | Cricket News

New Post has been published on https://jordarnews.in/top-five-suresh-raina-and-ms-dhoni-top-csks-all-time-run-getters-list-cricket-news/

Top five: Suresh Raina and MS Dhoni top CSK's all-time run getters' list | Cricket News

NEW DELHI: The 13th edition of Indian Premier League (IPL) is set to begin from September 19 in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and franchises have already started prepping for the cricketing extravaganza that will not be held in India this year due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Chennai Super Kings, one of the most successful franchises in the IPL — with three titles — too are up and running and have even managed to get permission for a camp for their Indian players from August 15, ahead of their scheduled departure for Dubai on August 21. CSK, over the years, have been a step ahead of the other franchises when it comes to preparations for the tournament and that’s what makes them one of the most formidable sides in the IPL. Along with their dynamic captain MS Dhoni, their players have always been amongst runs and that has been a major reason for the team’s success over the years. TimesofIndia.com here takes a look at the top five batsmen who have scored the most runs for the Chennai Super Kings: Suresh Raina – 4,527 runs in 164 matches

Explosive batsman Suresh Raina has been part of the backbone of CSK since its first edition back in 2008. The stylish left-hander, who is the second highest run getter in the tournament (5,368 runs) overall has been a big part of the team’s success over the years. Even though the franchise was banned for two years in 2016 and 2017, Raina was among the few senior players, who led the resurgence of the team in 2018, helping them win a title on their much-awaited comeback. Raina has undoubtedly been the best batsman of the team year after year and sits right at the top of the run charts for the franchise. In 164 matches for CSK, Raina has scored a record 4,527 runs that also includes a ton, which he hit against Kings XI Punjab in 2013 edition. With an impressive average of 33.28, Raina has also scored those runs at a brisk strike rate of over 137. Barring the 2016 and 2017 seasons, when he played for the Gujarat Lions, Raina has 32 half-centuries for CKS — the highest for any CSK batsman. The chief architect of many wins, Raina over the years has been one of the most loyal soldiers of the Yellow Brigade. Although a surprising fact about Raina in his journey with CSK has been that, even after scoring so many runs over the years, Raina has not managed to win the Orange Cap in the tournament for most runs in a single season MS Dhoni – 3,858 runs in 160 matches

It would be a very hard thing to imagine CSK without MS Dhoni. One of the most dynamic cricket leaders of all time, Dhoni has been perhaps the most effective architect of CSK’s success. From leading the franchise to two back to back titles in 2010 and 2011, to seeing it through a two-year ban, to leading the team once again to a trophy on their comeback in 2018, Dhoni has been the wheels of the chariot on which CSK has been riding for over a decade. And along with being one of the most influential skippers in the tournament, Dhoni has also been a run machine for his franchise. Out of the 4,432 runs Dhoni has scored in the IPL, 3,858 runs have come for the Yellow Army in 160 matches. With a phenomenal average of 44.34, Dhoni has always been the finisher for the team that the other franchise can only dream of having. Even though Dhoni might not have an IPL century to his name but on numerous occasions the veteran has led his team to victories that would not have been possible without him. With a staggering strike rate of 140.03, Dhoni has on most occasions provided his team that much-need acceleration that they required in the death overs. The most successful ‘finisher of the game’ has also scored 21 half-centuries for CSK.

Michael Hussey – 1,768 runs in 50 matches

Currently serving as the batting coach of the team and the only retired player on this list, Australia’s Mr. Cricket, Michael Hussey has also been one of the most loyal soldiers of CSK. Apart from the 2014 edition, which he played for Mumbai Indians, before returning back to CSK in 2015 one last time, Hussey during his eight-year stint in the tournament served 7 years in the CSK ranks, before retiring as a player. And in the 50 matches that he represented the franchise, Hussey was always amongst runs. With a total of 1,768 runs, Hussey sits third on the list of all-time highest run-scorers for the three time IPL champions. The stylish left-hander also grabbed the Orange Cap after enjoying phenomenal success with the bat in the 2013 edition when he scored 733 runs in just 16 matches. With an average of 42.09, Hussey also scored those runs at an impressive strike rate of over 123. Along with the 13 fifties he scored for CSK, Hussey also smoked a rare ton in the second match of the inaugural edition of the tournament, where he ended up scoring a 54-ball 116, lighting up the tournament Murali Vijay – 1,676 runs in 67 matches

A year with Delhi Capitals (2014) followed by three years in Kings XI Punjab (2015-2017), but the Chennai-born Murali Vijay always had his heart beating for CSK. From serving the franchise between 2009 and 2013, to now being back to be part of the lion’s den (since 2018), Murali Vijay this year too will don the CSK jersey when he takes the field from September 19. The prolific right-hander, so far has played 67 matches for the franchise and has accumulated 1,676 runs, which puts him in fourth place on the list of top CSK run-scorers. Murali, who is among the very few batsmen to have scored two IPL tons, scored both his centuries playing for CSK back in 2010 and 2012. To go with that, the 36-year-old also has 7 fifties to his name for the yellow brigade. With a strike rate of over 126, the CSK opener has more often than not ensured that his team gets off to a flying start, be it batting first or while chasing. One of the most impactful figures in the team, Murali was retained by the franchise at the auctions in 2019 based on his service and performance for the franchise. Faf du Plessis – 1,639 runs in 63 matches

Former South Africa skipper Faf du Plessis has been among the core members at the CSK camp since his debut in 2012. Barring the two-year period when CSK were banned, du Plessis has been an active part of the team, serving as a prolific batsman and part of the team think tank. Along with the experience he brings in, du Plessis also has been formidable with the bat in the CSK middle order. With a total of 1,639 runs in 63 outings, du Plessis sits 5th on the list of highest run-getters in CSK’s history. With a highest score of 96, du Plessis has been part of some memorable CSK wins, stepping up his game with the bat when the team needs him the most. The former South African captain has so far scored 10 fifties for CSK and his runs for the franchise have come at an impressive average of 31.51. A complete middle-order batsman, who has often provided the team with a much-needed push in the final overs, du Plessis has also scored those runs at a crucial strike rate of over 126. He is also one of the best fielders the franchise has.

The G.O.A.T debate. By:Teej

I wish i could say this is the G.O.A.T of blogs but lets be honest its average at best its comparable to the Cincinnati Bengals shows promise but it will let you down. Every year, every season we all have the discussion who the G.O.A.T (greatest of all time) is. Wether it be LeBron vs MJ, or Brady vs Montana. Obviously this is a hard comparison with today's sports and sports leagues of the past. Here we debate which is true 🐐. Lets look at the NBA,NHL and NFL, I chose to not look at the MLB due the change of the sport over the years.

NBA G.O.A.T- LeBron vs MJ

LeBron vs MJ. O how the NBA has changed since the MJ years. MJ came into the NBA out of North Carolina in 1984 being the 3rd overall pick to the Chicago Bulls. Jordan would go on to play 15 total season in the NBA ( 14 with the Bulls, 1 with Wizards), putting up 32,292 total points (5th all time) , 6 NBA titles (tied for 10th), 10 scoring titles (most overall), 5 MVP awards, 6 Finals MVP award, 2 Olympic gold medals, as well as being one of the greatest clutch performers of all time having decided 25 games with field goals or free throws in the last 30 seconds. Throughout Jordans career he did have a great supporting staff around him with, having played with a total of 6 NBA All-Stars one of which is a Hall of Famer (Scottie Pippen). Jordan retired from the NBA for the first time in 1993, citing a loss of desire to play the game. Pursued a career in Baseball during his first retirement, where he played with the Chicago White Sox, and eventually was sent down to the minors. After a quick stint in baseball, MJ came back to the Bulls in 1995 where the went on a 13-4 run to make playoffs and advance to the Eastern Conference championship. After his return to basketball, that is when the 2nd 3 peat came for the Bulls and giving Jordan his 6 total titles. Jordan retired for a 2nd time in 1999, but later return in 2001 however this time it was with the Washington Wizards. In 2001 Jordan still lead the time in scoring. However the following two seasons he was in more of a reserve role. with all the all the stats backing him how can anyone thing anyone could be greater?

Many of people today say LeBron James is the G.O.A.T, physically LeBron is an athletic freak at 6′8 250 (Mj 6′6 216) he is able to do things we have never seen before. Plus with today's NBA rules it has been even more in his favor. LeBron just this year suffered a somewhat serious injury missing a total of 17 games so far this season. James has never played a full 82 game season (Jordan played nine full seasons). James has been in the league for 15 years since being drafted 1st overall in 2003 to his hometown team the Cleveland Cavaliers. Since being drafted and 3 different teams, James has scored 31,966 (5th all time), won 3 NBA titles (2 with Miami, 1 with Cavs), earning 1 scoring title, 4 MVP awards, 3 Finals MVP award, and helping team USA earn 2 Olympic gold medals. LeBron has been the superstar that has been the guy in the NBA for the last 15 years, however he has been ridiculed for his discussion to leave Cleveland twice. The first time he left he made a over the top decision to announce on live television that he was going to Miami to play with Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh. After playing 4 seasons in Miami he went back to Cleveland for 4 years and most recently signing with the LA Lakers. Though LeBron is more physically gifted it took him a lot longer to earn his titles, all while playing with 11 NBA All Stars. There is no doubting his a great one but Jordan is and probably always will be the G.O.A.T of the NBA. No one besides Jordan and James are in the conversation (no Kobe)

NHL G.O.A.T

Pittsburgh legend and hero Mario Lemieux saved the Pittsburgh Penguins both as a player, than as an owner but is he the G.O.A.T of the NHL? Lets take a look at the stats between Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux. This comparison is a little easier than that of LeBron, and Jordan due to the fact that these players played in pretty much the same era of the sport. For example it wasn't until later in Lemieuxs career that he experienced goalies who were athletes and wore larger pads.

Gretzky wasn’t actually drafted however he was selected by Edmonton Oilers in 1979 in the WHA/NHL merger. In major juniors everyone could tell that Gretzky was going to be a superstar and sure enough he was. In Gretzkys 20 seasons he earned many accolades (61 NHL records). Gretzky has the most career goals 894, 1,963 assist, points 2,857, and hat tricks with 50. Gretzky also earned 4 NHL titles, as well 9 NHL MVP awards. At 6 ft 185 Gretzky was not physically dominant however his speed and skill definitely made up for it. Especially when the goalies he was going against were wearing small padding/ protected to help stop the puck

Mario Lemieux, came into the NHL in 1984 as the 1st overall pick to the Pittsburgh Penguins. In 17 seasons in the NHL, Lemieux was the player that teams were tanking their seasons to earn the 1st overall pick. Lemieux had the size and skill that NHL organizations were drooling over. Lemieux came in at 6′4 230, with speed, hands and a shot that goalies lost sleep over. Lemieux earn the rookie of the year award, 2 time player of the year award, Top scorer award, 3 time MVP, 1 time finals MVP, as well as a Olympic gold medal. Lemieux is in 8th on the all time scorers list, having 1,723 points. When comparing Lemieux and Gretzky you must look at what Lemiuex over came. Lemieux missed significant time battling debilitating back issues and, far more importantly, fighting the cancer he was diagnosed with at age 27. By missing all this time he played less than 1,000 games he is the only player in the top 30 of point scorers to have done this. In fact he played 573 games less than Gretzky. Lemiuex also did not have the surrounding talent that Gretzky have. Both players played with an additional 6 Hall of Famers. They both made the players around them better and it showed year in and year out. These players come in at 1 and 2 in points per game, with Gretzky being 1. However I can not over look the state of the franchises when both players came in. The Penguins were a joke of a franchise at the time of Lemiuex being drafted. Plus with what he had to overcome with injuries and fight cancer makes him the G.O.A.T.

NFL. G.O.A.T - Brady vs Montana

With the Superbowl being right around the corner this may be the most important topic today. Who is the greatest of all time to play the QB position. I will answer this without any stats needed. As much as it pains me to say this (as a Steelers fan) it is Tom Brady.

Brady has been a torn in many franchises side since being becoming the starting QB for the New England Patriots in 2001. Some stats to help back up the fact that Brady is indeed the G.O.A.T are, 5 Superbowl titles(Looking for his 6th) (Montana has 4) 4 Superbowl MVP awards (Joe has 3), 3 League MVP awards (Joe has 2). Brady also has the record for most wins by a QB (207), best TD to interception ratio (28:2), most road wins (92), most wins at home (115), Most TDs with a team (40) 4th all tie in passing yards (70,514), 4th all time in completions (6,004), and the 3rd most Passing TD’s (517). Unfortunately Brady does not seem like he is ready to retire anytime soon, he has stated he wants to play for about 5 or more years. Lets all hope that he changes his mind.

MJ, Mario Lemieux, and Tom Brady.= The 🐐
