Sounds like the kind of thing he’s gonna be working back from until his contract expires

A goalie with bad knees? He’s just like me for real (minus that whole Crimea take).

2? Dude my father in law had 2 knees replaced in his 70’s. Hopefully Varly gets a one game start so he can then retire and get into coaching or something. There’s no need at his age to play on replacement knees. Jesus. There’s no reason this team should even consider him a viable backup with both knees replaced.

We can rebuild him!

Feel like this is the type of statement you have to make as a coach, even if you or everyone else knows it ain’t happening

My guess? He tries to come back just to see if it’s possible, realizes he can’t play to the same level, and calls it quits.

Ooof, that’s not something that gets done quick. Hope Varly can play again one day but if not that he gets to be involved somehow.

Yeah….he’s not coming back. He’s 36-37 coming off of two knee replacements, him coming back isn’t realistic, and prob isn’t smart for his long-term health

I just thought of the premise for a cool movie… »cyborg goalie »…half man..half machine

Replacements?? That’s awful. What happened that this came out of nowhere? I won’t if he misspoke.
If it’s true, farewell Varly.
Imagine being in your 30s and needing two knee replacements? Yikes
SmashYourEnemies02
Holy shit, two😳. Dude I honestly don’t know how he comes back from that especially at his age.
