Chicago… “we’re going through a rebuild and need to get younger”… trades DeBrincat and Dach while keeping Kane and Toews…

Interesting, wonder if he can play Rod’s type of game at his age.

I usually agree, but he pulled it from Friedman who is a tad more reliable. Still don’t think they are options.

So Bridges 7.2 QO has to be rescinded by July 13th, his court date is July 20th. If the offer is pulled then Bridges becomes a UFA. Additionally, any player who is convicted of a violent felony is automatically suspended for a minimum of 10 games.

For what it’s worth, we’ve played the second most difficult schedule (behind FC Cincinnati) in the Eastern Conference. However, we are going to start getting into the easier part of our schedule very soon. Nashville will be a difficult game but after that we have Inter Miami, Toronto, Columbus, D.C. United, and Chicago. We should be able to pick up some points there.

LiAngelo has entered the H&S protocol but I suspect he’ll be out by the time the games roll around.

It also might be time to give Swiderski a break. I though Shinyashiki was solid in his brief time as a center forward yesterday. Reyna - Shinyashiki - Gaines could be an interesting front three.

I thought Jozwiak was dangerous, his finishing was just poo. I thought all of our wingers and outside mid’s were class yesterday.

Charlotte FC found something in McNeill, he’ll develop into a solid player in my opinion. It was also great to see Ruiz go the full 90, he looked much better than Ortiz and Alcivar. I’d still like to see more of Hegardt and Vargas.

Finally!!! Got that first road win and a much needed win in general. Back in Charlotte next Saturday against Nashville.

87’ Lindsey in for Afful.

Into the last 5 minutes and Houston draws one back. CHARLOTTE FC 2 - HOUSTON DYNAMO 1 28’ OG 74’ Shinyashiki from Bronico

Goalllll Shinyashiki misses a sitter then comes back and slots one in the corner minutes later. CHARLOTTE FC 2 - HOUSTON DYNAMO 0

Gaines in for Jozwiak, Shinyashiki in for Swiderski. Still in a 5-4-1 GK - Kahlina RB - Afful RCB - Corujo CB - Walkes LCB - Fuchs LB - Mora RM - Gaines RCM - Bronico LCM - Ruiz LM - Bender ST - Shinyashiki

Looks like a 5-4-1 now. GK - Kahlina RB - Afful RCB - Corujo CB - Walkes LCB - Fuchs LB - Mora RM - Jozwiak RCM - Bronico LCM - Ruiz LM - Bender ST - Swiderski Available Subs - Marks, Lindsey, Makoun, Hegardt, Gaines, Vargas, Shinyashiki

61’ Bender in for McNeill, Mora in for Reyna.

HT CHARLOTTE FC 1 - HOUSTON DYNAMO 0 28’ OG

Offer hasn’t officially been pulled, all speculation right now. If it’s pulled then Miles becomes a UFA. One strange thing that happened today is LaMelo posted an IG story with some of Miles music playing…

Sheesh… Jozwiak just missed a sitter off of a layoff from Swiderski.

Goal!!! Reyna has been a force so far and puts a great cross in the box that Jozwiak plays across the six and takes a deflection off a Houston player for an own goal. CHARLOTTE FC 1 - HOUSTON DYNAMO 0

Defender goes straight through Reyna and nothing from the referee… MLS officiating needs to be a lot better… it’s downright atrocious right now.

Back at it against Houston, in desperate need of a win. Interesting starting lineup. GK - Kahlina RB - Afful RCB - Corujo LCB - Walkes LB - Fuchs CDM - Bronico RCM - Ruiz LCM - McNeill RW - Reyna ST - Swiderski LW - Jozwiak Subs - Marks, Lindsey, Makoun, Mora, Bender, Hegardt, Gaines, Vargas, Shinyashiki Not Included - Sisniega, Sobocinski, Jones, Alcivar, Ortiz, Rios Injured - Armour, Mello On Loan - Zendejas (Charlotte Independence), Santos (Charlotte Independence), Franco (Talleres)

Kai’s got a chance to special.

Friedman and Ecklund speculating the Canes could bring in both Malkin and Letang.
