There’s stats and theres the eye test. Eye test tell me Scottie aint better than Rabiot.

You are simply missing the point. I don't care who you think is better.

I dont want Scott in the team but I don't want Rabiot either.

Hockey players be like that too.

paul kariya (guy who got hit) came back like a shift later even though his brains were scrambled.

He said he doesn't even remember that game

The most infamous concussion of Kariya’s career came in Game 6 of 2003 Stanley Cup Final, when the Anaheim Ducks captain took a blindside headshot from Scott Stevens after dumping the puck into the New Jersey Devils' zone. He spent 48 seconds lying on the ice motionless after hitting the ice.

“So many people remember just that moment because it was so startling,” Farber told TSN 1200. “I’m sitting there in the building and I thought he was dead. Honest to goodness, I thought he was dead. Or could have been dead. He didn’t breathe, most people in the Honda Center didn’t breathe as well because there was that fear.”

Kariya eventually took a deep breathe, fogging his visor, and opening his eyes. He left for the dressing room, but returned just minutes later. He went on to score the game’s winning goal on a slapshot as the Ducks kept their season alive. Fourteen years later, Kariya told Farber he has no recollection of the game.

“Speaking to Mike Babcock about it, who was coaching the Ducks then, he said if that had happened now, we wouldn’t have seen Paul forever,” Farber explained. “Paul went into the dressing room, came back to the bench scored a goal and has no recollection of scoring it and doesn’t remember playing in Game 7 back in New Jersey, either.

“It’s pretty frightening.”

I remember seeing it live. On one hand, back then watching Scott Stevens demolish players coming through that area of the ice during the Stanley cup runs were cool, but I'm glad they got rid of those hits. Reading this post and watching that gif are pretty frightening.

I'll take my 3 Stanley Cup finals wins tho.

Not a surprise they've spent a lot over the past few years while they were getting that CL money. No Europe this season.

Really hope this news that the Rabiot deal is off is true.

We were willing to make him one of our highest earners.

Can't believe we are this thick and desperate.

I find him to be a bit hit or miss. Atalanta played a very attacking style so not sure if he is a system player or not. Kulu suits Spurs style more especially with Kane dropping deeper. Then again that left peg is worth the price of admission. The whole crowd screaming for him to shoot when there's 10 defenders behind the ball should be fun.

But hes also 29. What do Atalanta want for him? about 30m? IDK it feels like the type of signing what could fail because of the age and new to the PL that Conte would discard him if he doesnt adapt quickly. And then you got to send him out on loan for the rest of his contract till a buyer comes forward
