Sports After red card: Messi is only one league game missing from Barça
Former No. 2 overall pick Nolan Patrick returns to ice for Flyers
Patrick, the second overall pick from 2017, is still just 22 and could be a big part of the Flyers lineup this season should his health hold. Without any leverage in negotiations, he accepted a one-year contract at his qualifying offer salary of $874,125. Even if he never becomes the top-line center the Flyers hoped for, Philadelphia can still certainly use a bargain in the middle six.

Messi was expelled from the field on Sunday last week in Seville after a 3-2 defeat after extra time in the final of the Spanish Supercup against Athletic Bilbao after an assault against Asier Villalibre.
Ronald Koeman took Messi's side after the game. "I'd rather not talk about it, I'd just repeat myself," he said of the referees. But he understands Messi. "I don't know how many fouls they committed on him. He's trying to dribble and he can't do it."
