Pretty sure Kurri, Anderson and Messier were the only guys to get 50 goals with Gretzky in the 80s. All are not in the plumber's Hall of Fame but the hockey one and won a Cup without the Great One. Those Oiler teams actually had some decent scoring from all lines guys like Ken Linesman Charlie Huddy, etc Trust me those giys were far from Plumbers Edited August 16, 2023 by gigi riva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am really wondering how he combines with Busquets and Alba, if he is on synch, raising his game. I think it is an amazing opportunity for him, but depends a bit what they ask of him. I mean, if they play the Barça style that is a classic back two, the fullbacks up high, the DM come back to split the CBs if needed, the CBs have to be positioned properly to play out with the keeper, to be ready to give and receive the back pass from Busi, quick to open up high and wide to the LB, all those things in the modern game (and maybe a bit cliché by now) that those guys worked to perfection. Hopefully Miller is taking some advice from Guys Like Alba and Busquets. Guys who have won Champs League , Euros, and a World Cup . If so it will help with his career, and the better ment of CMNT too DeRo_Is_King, PastPros, johnyb and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems Busquets was saying to Kamal the it was his man. I'd agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actual goal was in a corner with Busquets miscontrolling a rebound and then Yedlin whiffing on a clearance. Kamal had nothing to do with the playas he was covering Gazdag I believe on the other side of the 6 yard box but I forget what happened on the play leading to the corner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 (edited) I think Miller is in a very good situation right now. Let's face it, had he moved to Europe it would have likely been to a team without players like Alba, Busquets, and of course Messi. And with the way MLS is now, it's no longer a bunch of scrubs with 2 or 3 legends of the game - it's more like everyone in the starting line up has international caps for CONCACAF, CONMENBOL and UEFA teams. I don't believe Miller could have gone to a better club on paper than he is at now. Deeper maybe yes, but not a better starting 11 (which he is part of).

dyslexic nam Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Dude is playing with Messi. I don’t care what else is happening at Miami, that has to be the coolest experience of his career. The MLS journeymen who managed to retain their spots must feel like they have won the lottery.

Coffey was the scorer on defence, Lowe is probably second on the list I would guess due to longevity, Huddy scored more than him most years but not a lot. But helped make that team tick. And Lee Fogelin gets a mention only because I wore his number even in the years later when I was in goal.

In any case, if you are playing beside Alba and Busquets in close as the DM you are going to pick things up, and a lot, in terms of how they want you to move off the ball, how coverages work, and so on.

Charlie Huddy and Kevin Lowe were 2nd- or 3rd-paring defencemen. Both decent, but not great, players who played roles for a number of years on a great team.

This was a a pretty free wheelin' offensive team in the regular season but they did tighten it up defensively in the playoffs. Shame they couldn't defend an errant Steve Smith pass.

BearcatSA Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I used to hate the Oilers as a much younger man during their heyday, but I have mellowed over time and have now developed a rational and geniune appreciation of their dynasty. I stopped watching hockey regularly when the dead puck era came in. I watch it more now to cheer on teams with Canadian friendly rosters. nolando 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Big final tonight, should be an exciting game. I suppose he'll start. Saw that Inter is signing a promising CB from Argentina, an u-20, Tomás Avilés. This is competition, but I don't mind it as he can't start, has to likely work his way into minutes and the team, and Kamal should be a regular to the end of the season at least. Then, we'll see. I am sort of hoping Inter Miami gets stopped, Shaff has a big game, just to keep them in their place. I really could care less if the Barça bunch lose since they are no longer "with us". What doesn't make sense is for Messi to be so respected, he never was in Spain and he found a way past and through it. Make it hard for him ffs. I am not talking about hurting the guy, just countering his strengths effectively. The Real Marc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
