Why Canucks Fans Should Focus On Cap Percentage Rather Than AAV When Discussing Elias Pettersson

Yahoo24-05-2025
The 2025 off-season has been tense for Vancouver Canucks fans. After a disappointing season from center Elias Pettersson, there have been plenty of debates online about whether the organization should keep or trade the former Calder Trophy winner. At this point, it is fair to say that these conversations will continue until the start of the 2025-26 season, even though Pettersson does have a no-move clause that kicks in on July 1, 2025.

🚨 BREAKING: Son confirms decision to leave Tottenham this summer

Tottenham star Son Heung-min has publicly confirmed his decision to leave the club this summer. The South Korean sensation, who has been synonymous with the club since arriving from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer of 2015, is looking ahead to his next chapter amid heavy speculation surrounding a move to MLS outfit LAFC. Speaking alongside manager Thomas Frank during a pre-conference ahead of Spurs' pre-season clash with Newcastle, Son has lifted the veil on his next steps. "I just want to share information that I have decided to leave this club this summer," Son said. "Respectfully, the club is helping me with this decision." "It was the most difficult decision I have made in my career," he continued. "The main reason is I have achieved everything I can at Tottenham. I need a new environment for a fresh challenge." "I came to north London as a kid. A boy came to London who couldn't speak English. I leave this club as a man. Thanks to all the Spurs fans who have given me so much love." Son is now in line to become one of the biggest stars to ever ply their trade in North America. 📸 Eurasia Sport Images - 2025 Getty Images

Lionel Messi's bodyguard banned from Leagues Cup after entering field in postgame confrontation

Lionel Messi's bodyguard Yassine Cheuko apparently took his job a little too seriously at the Leagues Cup. After a postgame confrontation in which Cheuko ran onto the field to push some Atlas players away from the Inter Miami star, the League Cup disciplinary committee announced it was banning him from all technical areas for the rest of the tournament, which runs through Aug. 31, and fining Inter Miami an undisclosed amount of money. The full statement: After the July 30 Inter Miami CF vs. Club Atlas match, a member of Inter Miami's club delegation displayed improper conduct by entering restricted areas without an official event credential. In accordance with the Leagues Cup 2025 Tournament Regulations, the Disciplinary Committee has suspended the individual involved from all technical areas for the remainder of Leagues Cup 2025 and issued an undisclosed fine to Inter Miami CF. ESPN identified the member of Inter Miami's delegation as Cheuko. The incident occurred on Wednesday after Inter Miami's 2-1 win over Atlas. Several players congregated at midfield, with Cheuko entering the fray to physically break up the confrontation. He is the bald man with a short beard and black Miami T-shirt in the video below. Atlas players were not happy about Cheuko's intervention, with defender Matheus Doria calling for the rules to be applied in this case via ESPN: "We already know that our board works very well and will take care of the issue. I understand that Messi's bodyguard is there to protect Messi from a possible entry by a fan, I don't know, but between players, he doesn't have that permission," said Doria. "It's not up to us to say much or give our opinion on the matter, but the board and those in charge of the Leagues Cup have already seen it and will take charge of what can and can't be done because as long as it protects not only Messi but the other players, and the physical integrity of the players who are there, that's fine. But if it's for other issues, no one will agree, but it's not up to me to do anything." Cheuko has been a fixture at Messi's side since his days at Paris Saint-Germain. Contrary to past reports, he is not a former Navy SEAL or professional MMA fighter, but he has entered the field in the past to protect the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner. In April, Inter Miami banned Cheuko from being on the sidelines during MLS matches, though he remains an employee of the team.

Phillies slugger Bryce Harper ejected following outburst over called third strike

PHILADELPHIA — Phillies slugger Bryce Harper was ejected in the seventh inning of Friday's game against Detroit for arguing a called third strike on a check swing. The Phillies scored three runs in the seventh to tie the game 3-all and had two runners on base with two outs when Harper faced Tigers reliever Will Vest. Harper tried to check his swing on a full-count changeup from Vest, but third base umpire Vic Carapazza rang up the Harper, who ripped his helmet off his head in a outburst and shouted as he waved his arms at Carapazza. Harper was promptly tossed and kept his helmet with him as he walked into the dugout. ___ AP MLB:
