Very nice summary of the USL issues for someone like myself who doesn’t follow as closely.
I’m curious what this means for players on loan? For a player like Beaudry can he be loaned to R2 (or maybe even overseas) during a strike or is he stuck waiting?
It was def bizarre and only really matters because it nearly came back to bite them. Initially that last sub was only 2 players. Only once Travis got hurt did Wells call for Keegan at the last moment. They came really close to finishing either with 10 players or a hobbled LB, and it was avoidable.
It was already two separate subs though. Yapi comes in for Harris in the 57’ and Frederick wasn’t ready until the 59’, at which point he got delayed due to Hamzat taking his time.
I wanted to hear the answer to the question 😂 seemed odd at the time to burn a substitution window with 2 subs that close together
Lucas was great. After he scored I told my kids “don’t get attached to him, he won’t be a Rapid for long” 😂
Didn’t the roster breakdown list Fadal as loaned out? 🤨
They’ve been a staple at the Stanley marketplace forever, very cool to see them getting this opportunity.
Expected the headline to read “Denver mandates foot shaped gas pedals on all cars”
- player he hated defending the most
- weirdest locker room tradition he ever witnessed
- best away day experience
- thoughts on rapids parting ways with so many home growns, and who are the next academy players he thinks could eventually make the first team
Happy concacaf champions league snowpocalypse anniversary to all who celebrate
Just watched the presser. One of the most honest assessments I’ve ever seen from a coach, especially at this club. Actually makes me feel better about the result. Nobody is safe, playing time is earned and is evaluated week to week. I don’t recall ever hearing this from Armas or Fraser.
Another lopsided Lumen lashing
I think he heard the pod 😂
Poor defending. Wells clearly wants to play out from deep but the team doesn’t look ready for it. No creativity until the final 10 minutes. Bright spots were the subs coming on and actually playing like they cared.
Alex Harris too
Love Mack and will be thrilled when he and the boys are back with the Avs, but he and McDavid came up short. US earned every bit of that gold.
Those teddy bears will probably ease the pain for team Canada 😂
I was already cutting onions but the Gaudreau jersey absolutely sent me 😭
Disappointed that Matt Wells turtleneck is not included in the collection
Gonna be a great day to overload on rapids talk
For sure, I just meant the FO let Santos leave, so it seemed like Vines had the position locked up. Based on what has been said and done today, I’m not sure he’s even the backup.
Wells was raving about Travis today at the presser, and they just brought back a guy they previously thought wasn’t good enough. Vines must be having the worst possible preseason imaginable.
Haha I totally forgot we led the league in Abubakars at one point.
On a scale of Sidney Tavares to Lamine Diack, how “that’s so rapids” is the Navarro signing?
I know it’s not the main point but it took me way too long to realize “for kids launching in 2026” wasn’t about kids being born in 2026 😂
Thankful I planned my return trip yesterday instead of today 😅
Agree, if the youth games start at 6 it should be fine. I just have ptsd from driving through DSGP for parking during those tournaments, so adding more events on that site is not ideal 😂
