There have been clear hints during this league of players leaning more towards an increased level of individual expressionism.

Expressionism should be encouraged and applauded

It’s possible, more than likely probable, that Killian McGinnis was just trying to keep the ball in play, or even pass it across the goal, but McGinnis would never admit as much. And he’d be right not to. When a player scores an audacious point just centimetres from the endline, he deserves every ounce of credit attached to such an incredible score.
