5 days after a stroke. And two cracked ribs. Just found out I can leave the hospital today and be an outpatient for physiotherapy rehab moving forward for my left arm/hand. 2 days ago it wouldn't move. Very happy to flip you all off with it now. I'm a lucky boy.

Pretty sure last night at BMO I witnessed my son get to that moment where football really grabs you and imbeds in your DNA, like it has for most of us obsessed folks on here. He was kicking every ball of the 5-3 win. Hasn't stopped talking about it since. It was something special

There is zero reason a goalkeeperer can't win #CanPL player of the year award, but it isn't fashionable. Triston Henry has stood on his head (and bashed it off the post) for Forge this year. Absolutely amazing today as well. He is a big, big reason we are hosting a final.

We can all agree that CONCACAF took far too strong a stance, at an incredibly awful point in time. In my eyes Ottawa Fury should have taken the chance to jump to #CanPL but for reasons, they didn't. Forcing their hand doesnt help shape the image of a new league in any way.
