Intrinsically Canadian Power Rankings: MLS FINAL/NASL Week 30/USL FINAL By Steven Sandor Posted on October 23, 2017 Comments Off on Intrinsically Canadian Power Rankings: MLS FINAL/NASL Week 30/USL FINAL 0 1,707 Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Darrin MacLeod PHOTO: USL/SWOPE PARK RANGERS MLS has wrapped up its 2017 regular season, and it took until the last few minutes of the Montreal Impact’s campaign for Shamit Shome to become the 27th and final Canadian to make an appearance in the league this season. With an average of 169.2 minutes per game for Canadian players, the Montreal Impact was the runaway winner when it comes to Can-con in MLS. Of course, the Impact was the only Canadian MLS team to miss the playoffs, so it’s not like “the most domestic minutes played” award is going to bring a lot of joy to the team and its fans. NASL is the only one of the three Div-1 or 2 leagues that is still in its regular season. Congratulations need to go out to Canadian minute-leader Drew Beckie, who scored in a wild 4-4 draw between Jacksonville and the New York Cosmos. For Beckie and his Armada teammates, though, it’s cold comfort as they really needed to win in order to control their playoff destiny. Now, they need to win their final game of the season and hope for help. Now, to USL. We stopped ranking minutes last week when the league’s regular season came to a halt. But, in the opening round of the playoffs, Canadian (and former TFC Academy) goalkeeper Darrin MacLeod shone for Swope Park Rangers. He was key as Rangers eliminated Didier Drogba’s Phoenix Rising in penalties. Rangers were down 1-0 in extra time, when a goal from FC Edmonton Academy product Amer Didic leveled the score. Here’s a look at the nine Canadians who have survived in the USL playoffs: SWOPE PARK RANGERS (4): Darrin MacLeod, Tyler Pasher, Amer Didic, Mark Anthony Gonzalez ROCHESTER RHINOS (3): Jordan Dover, Bradley Kamdem Fewo, Ryan James LOUISVILLE CITY (1): Mark-Anthony Kaye TAMPA BAY ROWDIES (1): Kyle Porter MLS MINUTES BY PLAYER, THE CANADIANS Cyle Larin, Orlando, 2169 (28) Will Johnson, Orlando, 2057 (26) Patrice Bernier, Montreal, 1801 (27) Tesho Akindele, FCD, 1511 (29) Ballou Jean-Yves Tabla, Montreal, 1146 (21) Anthony Jackson-Hamel, Montreal, 1137 (21) Raheem Edwards, TFC, 1062 (22) Jonathan Osorio, TFC, 1060 (27) Alphonso Davies, Vancouver, 1053 (26) Tosaint Ricketts, TFC, 1003 (22) Samuel Piette, Montreal, 960 (11) Marcel de Jong, Vancouver, 779 (13) Russell Teibert, Vancouver, 731 (12) Jay Chapman, TFC, 385 (12) Louis Beland-Goyette, Montreal, 293 (6) Ashtone Morgan, TFC, 283 (5) Maxime Crepeau, Montreal, 270 (3) Richie Laryea, Orlando, 250 (12) Jordan Hamilton, TFC, 142 (8) Wandrille Lefevre, Montreal, 103 (3) Ben McKendry, Vancouver, 90 (1) Maxim Tissot, D.C.
