Shuttles, bring up the shuttles. Just seems cost worthy to have an option for people to get to the games. Or if people drink too much to have a way to get home.

Zator Gets Canada Nod

https://northerntribune.ca/dominick-...ada-call-2023/

Quote:
Canadian defender Dominick Zator’s high-stakes move to a Polish relegation battle has paid off.

The former Canadian Premier League defender has turned heads through his strong performances in the Ekstraklasa, with John Herdman now calling him back up to the Canadian national team.
Awesome for Dom!

fleury - I'll definitely ask! I'll let you know on this board what they say.

I like that then. That makes every point count in the regular season for all of the top teams.

I don't hate the playoff format. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd each have a unique benefit/incentive, and 4/5 gets more teams involved in the playoffs.

That being said, I'm not a fan of playoffs in general - that's what cups are for. But I get that's what North Americans expect, so here we are.

If we must have playoffs, I'd rather have the strategy and excitement of a good old home-and-home. Ah well - I'm sure that they'll make up another format next year. Given the realities of the league, our sporting culture, etc. I give it a half-assed thumb sideways, maybe 45 degrees up.

Over half the teams making the playoffs is whack.

I don't mind the format but agree that more than half the teams making it is wildly unnecessary.

Most than anything else I would like them to choose a format and stick with it and let everyone get used to it

Seems really unfair if the 1st place team beats 2nd, then has to face them again in the finals. Whole thing seems really dumb to be honest. Did they consult anyone for this?

Finally picked up seasons this year after hemming and hawing the last few.

Same seats as our flex pack from last year. Sec 105
What is the season ticket holder gift usually?

Here I was thinking that Cavalry might not be a playoff team this year, and then the playoffs get expanded. Can't keep us out.

We usually get a scarf in our peasant seats in 200. It will be more than that where your seats are.

Sounds like Loturi may have been called into national team camp.

Loturi has been having a great season (about as solid as you can have on a relegation battling team), real happy to see the call up. He fills a big position of need for Canada

Waterman, Zator, Loturi all former Cavalry guys to have gotten a call up (Carducci might have as well for a camp?). Pretty cool. Hopefully in the next couple years if they keep developing Farsi and Yao will get a shot as well

Hopefully Cavalry get a reputation for developing talent.
