Whitecaps headed to MLS playoffs!

2012-10-22T10:07:00.002-07:00

It wasn’t in the dramatic fashion the Vancouver Whitecaps and supporters at BC Place hoped

for on Sunday, but the ‘Caps are playoff-bound—becoming the first Canadian club in MLS

history to reach the post-season!

Vancouver took to the pitch yesterday afternoon controlling their destiny, a single win clinching

the final Western Conference playoff position and putting them safely out of reach of the

surging Dallas FC. Despite a strong effort and thunderous support from the Southsiders, the

Whitecaps suffered a 1-0 defeat to the visiting Portland Timbers. However, just hours

later Dallas lost 3-1 to the Seattle Sounders after a poor second-half performance, eliminating

themselves from the playoff race.

A victory Sunday would have made for a memorable afternoon for the Whitecaps, not only

securing a playoff spot but also would have captured their first-ever Cascadia Cup—a perennial

battle between Vancouver, Portland and Seattle, which the ‘Caps haven’t won since 2008.

Team awards were handed out at halftime, with defender YP Lee voted Player of the Year and

striker Darren Mattocks winning Most Promising Player.

There is little on the line in Vancouver’s final match of the regular season, going next Saturday

against Real Salt Lake. With fourth and fifth place cemented in the standings, the ‘Caps are set

to face the LA Galaxy—defending MLS champions and a team the blue-and-white are yet to

defeat.

Still, Vancouver will need to take this game seriously for any hopes of improving

before their one-game clash with LA. After starting the season with an amazing 9-3-5 run

through 17 matches, the Whitecaps faltered through the second half with a treacherous 3-9-4

record through the next 16. The Cap’s will need to work on protecting themselves against the

Galaxy’s quick transition game, an area Keane, Donovan, Beckham and crew haunted Whitecap

defenders this year.

Don’t forget to gear up for the first-ever Vancouver Whitecaps playoff game—Fan Fever’s got

you covered!

Journey to the 100th Grey Cup Underway!

2012-07-15T13:28:00.000-07:00

It’s just three weeks into the fresh CFL season and it’s already as weird, wacky and unpredictable as any fan would expect. Winnipeg yet to win. Saskatchewan yet to lose. Multiple missed field goal return touchdowns. And crazy fourth quarters-forget Tebow Time, we’ve been making it count after the 2:00 warning for decades in Canada.

The CFL may not have the pure skill, flashy superstars and strategic masterminds of the NFL, but for entertainment value the Canadian game is miles–err, kilometers–ahead (aside from that Week 2 Riders/Eskies snoozefest, if you’re an insomniac just watch that every night before bed). So if you’ve been enjoying the sunshine too much to keep tabs on our crazy league so far, here’s a West Division recap.

BC Lions – 2-1

The Grey Cup champs are off to a solid start with Travis Lulay second in the league with five TD passes and has more rushing yards than most first string running backs. Former VI Raider Andrew Harris sits second in rushing and if the run block can keep up him and Tim Brown could have a phenomenal season. It appears the good Paul McCallum has shown up again this season and Geroy isn’t slowing down yet.

Calgary Stampeders – 1-2

This writer is a Stampeders fan, and did not agree with the offseason trade of Henry Burris for a bag of footballs…oh it was Kevin Glenn, my mistake. On the plus side the kick return game looks fantastic and Nik Lewis is back to receiving like a beast. Maybe we can bring Dave Dickenson back from retirement to toss to him. Or Jeff Garcia…where’s Doug Flutie??

Edmonton Eskimos – 2-1

After a pair of preseason losses Edmonton has found their groove – and some offense, breaking out for 35 points in the first half last week. The two quarterback system finally clicked, with Steven Jyles getting the bulk of playing time but Kerry Joseph stepped in for two touchdowns, including a 76-yard beauty to Hugh Charles. And the defense has stifled oppositions, allowing an average of just 14 points per game so far.

Saskatchewan Roughriders – 3-0

Rider Nation is roaring once again! Even Travis Lulay admitted the 32,000 strong at Mosaic Stadium threw him off his game Saturday. Hiring a defensive coordinator as head coach has proven valuable as Corey Chamblin has the entire revamped defense buying in. Darian Durant appears to have refocused over the offseason and anyone still doubting the running game can rewatch Tristan Jackson’s brilliant 129 missed field goal return.

Blue Jays Sweep Phillies despite Battered Rotation

2012-06-18T01:21:00.001-07:00

The Toronto Blue Jays swept a three-game home series against struggling Philadelphia this weekend to resurface above .500, despite losing yet another starting pitcher to injury.

Drew Hutchison threw just nine pitches Friday before leaving the game with soreness in his throwing elbow, joining fellow starters Brandon Morrow and Kyle Drabek on the 15-day disabled list. Still, the Blue Jays bullpen came to the rescue to deliver a five-hit shutout. Carlos Villanueva was given the win, but the 3-0 victory was courtesy of six Blue Jay hurlers. Brett Lawrie hit a two-out RBI double in the third inning to cash in Rajai Davis for the only run Toronto would need.

Saturday was a change of pace. Ricky Romero allowed seven hits through six innings and the Jays trailed 5-2 heading into the eighth. After reaching base, Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion came home on a costly Philly error and Kelly Johnson scored the tying run on a J.P. Arencebia double. Davis punched a one-out single in the bottom of the 10^th frame to bring home Yunel Escobar for a 6-5 victory.

Brett Cecil pitched his first game since last July with over 45,000 in attendance on Fathers’ Day under the closed dome of Rogers Centre. The southpaw threw five solid innings for a 6-2 win with Luis Perez and Jason Frasor pitching in relief. The top of the batting order shined for Toronto as Colby Rasmus notched a two-run homer and an RBI double, both sending Lawrie to score. All nine Blue Jays reached base in the victory while Johnson and Davis also tallied RBI’s.

Despite only being placed on the 15-day DL, seeing the trio of Toronto starters back on the mound when eligible is unlikely; manager John Farrell is not hopeful of a quick recovery of Morrow’s oblique injury and Drabek may require Tommy John surgery to repair his right elbow. Hutchison’s elbow injury is reported to be less severe than Drabek’s.

In any case, the Blue Jays need solid outings from their remaining starters; Romero and Henderson Alvarez need to get into a rhythm and find control early in the game and catchers Arencebia and Jeff Mathis will be largely responsible for calming the young pitchers brought up in replacement. Toronto begins a three-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers Monday with Alvarez expected to start.

Whitecaps Escape Tough May Above .500

2012-05-27T22:10:00.000-07:00

After elevating to third place in the Western Conference in April, the Vancouver Whitecaps slid to fifth spot after a grueling month of May that saw the club take to the pitch in eight matches. The 'Caps sit 5-4-3 with a two-week break until their next match.

In addition to normal MLS action, the Whitecaps competed in the Amway Canadian Championship, which added four games to the schedule. Vancouver blew away Edmonton FC 5-1 on aggregate in the semi-final but suffered a disappointing upset against Toronto FC in the championship legs, who at that point were winless in nine MLS matches. Vancouver has been runner-up to Toronto four straight years, and lose out on Canada’s only berth into the Champions League.

May also saw a tough 4-1 loss to New England, and a hard-fought match against rival Seattle end in a 2-2 draw with a late Sounders goal in the first match of the Cascadia Cup. The downward spiral began after a come-from-behind win against the San Jose Earthquake, with the thrilling extra time game-winner off the foot of Eric Hassli. The victory against the powerhouse Earthquake was an emotional peak of the young MLS campaign but the 'Caps will have to refocus heading into the season's half-way point.

This month did see forwards Hassli, Gershon Koffie, and Camilo net much-expected goals. While Davide Chiumiento has struggled offensively, the Swiss midfielder has shown great vision on the attack and connected with Hassli twice to bump the struggling striker’s slump. Jamaican forward Darren Mattocks returned from injury in impressive fashion, scoring late in two matches and has proven to be an energetic sub-in for Martin Rennie.

The strong Whitecaps defense that backstopped the club to four clean sheets to start the season needs to refocus; the spry YP Lee has lacked confidence lately in his challenges while captain Jay DeMerit has made untimely attacks in the defensive zone. Next match is slated for June 10 against the Houston Dynamo and I’m sure the rest will get the Blue and White back on track. Go ‘Caps Go!

Vigneault Staying Behind the Bench

2012-05-23T23:35:00.000-07:00

The Vancouver Canucks extended head coach Alain Vigneault’s contract Tuesday for another two seasons, putting to rest rumours burbling about the team’s first coaching change since 2006.

We all know AV’s exceptional regular season resume in his six campaigns with the Canucks: five North West Division titles, back-to-back President’s Trophies, all-time club record holder in wins, and a Jack Adams Award.

But obviously something went wrong in the playoffs, and Canucks ownership decided it was not a management issue in resigning GM Mike Gillis, who in turn determined coaching was not responsible. So keeping Vigneault behind the bench raises an interesting question: where exactly does the blame fall? If the onus is on the players, was it lack of execution, preparation, leadership?

Vigneault was on the money when calling out Ryan Kesler mid-season for not using his wingers enough–the Canucks had just two losses all season when he recorded an assist, fewer than when he registered a goal. But he can take that logic further, as Vancouver responds well to leadership by example. The team was 7-0 when Manny Malhotra scored, so giving the assistant captain more offensive opportunities may be wise. The Canucks posted a winning record when either Sedin sat in the sin bin–and undefeated when they took multiple penalties–so if the twins playing physical fires the team up, giving them the green light to play with an edge when down a goal can’t hurt. If leadership is an issue, it’s up to AV to deal with it.

While it’s amazing to remember last season’s Stanley Cup run, you can’t look beyond the fact Vancouver has only qualified for the conference finals the once under Vigneault/Gillis. And as my high school history professor used to say, nostalgia is a seductive liar; the elements of success in professional sports can change in a heartbeat. Not long ago it looked like a team didn’t need an amazing netminder to win the Stanley Cup, but look at the goalies still around in the playoffs: a three-time Cup champion, reigning Vezina and Hart trophy nominee, and Jonathan Quick (enough said). That’s not to say the Luongo/Schneider combination is at fault, but defense-first teams are proving themselves this year.

“Success goes in cycles, and perhaps we were on the wrong side of the cycle this year,” said Mike Gillis looking at the shift in low scoring, tight checking clubs succeeding in these playoffs. It’s not the most constructive theory, but maybe it was just that: not meant to be. In any case, it’s going to be an interesting summer of ensuring we’re back in the right side of cycle next season.

No Sophomore Jinx for Vancouver Whitecaps

2012-05-01T22:42:00.000-07:00

Fresh off finishing their inaugural season tied for dead last in Major League Soccer, the Vancouver Whitecaps took to the pitch for their second campaign looking like a different club. After eight matches and nearly at the quarter mark of the regular season, the ‘Caps occupy third place in the western conference with 14 points–four wins, two losses, and two draws. And they’re starting to turn some heads around the MLS.

It took nearly four and a half games into the season before the Whitecaps surrendered a single goal, breaking the MLS all-time record. Defense has been exceptional since, boasting the league’s second fewest goals allowed and six clean sheets. Efficient communication between defenders has been key, albeit unbelievable, since the ‘Caps four starters Alain Rochat, Jay DeMerit, Y.P. Lee, and Martin Bonjour, all speak a different language (French, English, Korean, and Spanish, respectively). Goalkeeping has been great, as 37-year-old starter Joe Cannon backstopped all clean sheets and second-string Brad Knighton shared a scoreless draw with Cannon and has stepped in effectively when needed (uh-oh, not another future goaltending controversy in Vancouver…)

The Whitecaps need their big guns to start producing offensively, though. In eight games, Vancouver has just seven goals and only one of last season’s top five goal-scorers has registered on the score sheet–including striker and franchise star Eric Hassli, despite 17 shots. If he gets rolling offensively, along with midfielders Camilo and Davide Chiumiento, the Whitecaps could be a serious threat.

So why the sophomore-season success? Adding Lee to the ‘Caps defense in the off-season brought World Cup-level experience to the young franchise, and along with signing Bonjour, has resulted in a much more responsible defensive zone with fewer mistakes. Newly signed forward Sébastien Le Toux has produced half of Vancouver’s offensive output, a huge investment considering the scoring woes so far. Le Toux, who was given MLS’ Fair Play Award for sportsmanlike conduct two seasons in a row, is a positive on-field influence as the Whitecaps were the second most penalized team last year.
Perhaps most instrumental was appointing Martin Rennie at the helm and filling the vacant head coach position. Rennie has collected a road win and a victory against an eastern conference opponent, two tasks the Blue and White failed to accomplish under Teitur Thordarson last season.

The Whitecaps will face FC Edmonton in Wednesday night's first leg of the Amway Canadian Championship, before a pivotal match against conference-leading San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday. Go ‘Caps Go!

What To Do About Lu?

2012-04-26T21:25:00.000-07:00

While managing to defect it all season, there is no way for the Vancouver Canucks to hide from the full-fledged goaltending controversy it now finds itself in.

Most have heard by now that Roberto Luongo would agree to waive his no-trade clause should GM Mike Gillis ask him to, and Cory Schneider made it known he wants to start more than thirty games next season. It was also reported today (though later refuted) that Luongo has requested a trade. As it stands now, his contract would see him stay with the club until 2022, with the option to submit a five-team trade list in 2014.

But it’s not as simple as putting Luongo on the trade block and wishing him farewell the next day. The receiving team will inherit his salary with a $5.33 million cap hit for the next decade, and would have to send a player(s) back with a substantial contract to stay under the salary cap. It also has to be someone the team is comfortable moving, a team that needs a Luongo, and a team which Luongo wants to play. It’s like a complex mathematical problem!

If we assume Luongo is on the way out, where could he go? Florida, Tampa Bay, Toronto, and Chicago are the heavily-rumoured teams. Returning to Florida where Luongo has family would make the Panthers and Lightning possibilities, though players with similar cap hits on either team have no-trade clauses (adding a Ryan Malone-type forward would be perfect, though). A deal with Chicago seeing Marian Hossa in return could help both clubs: Hossa (should he recover from the Raffi Torres crunch) has a cap hit of $5.275 million through 2021, a Stanley Cup ring, and would add a bigger, natural right-winger to the mix. Toronto may be looking to offload Matthew Lombardi or Mike Komisarek and are in desperate need of steady goaltending.

The Winnipeg Jets will be looking for a goaltender this offseason, as both Chris Mason and Andrej Pavelec are free agents this summer. Winnipeg has cap space to work with, and a deal involving six-foot-five Blake Wheeler would benefit Vancouver. Of course, a deal with Columbus would be perfect if the Canucks can win the Rick Nash sweepstakes (we’ll even throw in Mason Raymond!! ;)

The other half of the equation is locking up Cory Schneider, who will be a restricted free agent this summer. Should Vancouver not extend his contract prior to July 1^st, all teams will be able to submit an offer which the Canucks will have to match if they want to keep him. Guaranteed, it will be significantly higher than the $900,000 he made this season.

There’s also the possibility of Vancouver letting Schneider go and holding onto Luongo until the 2020’s…but we’ll discuss that another time.

Give Your Head a Shake, Shanny (No Pun Intended)

2012-04-18T00:21:00.003-07:00

In theme with the surge of headshots in the NHL, and inconsistent punishment as result, disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan should give his a shake. I also bet he regrets his inadequate five-game suspension levied to Duncan Keith’s elbow to the head of Daniel Sedin last month. You know, the one that could have set a precedent on headshots, to get the NHL through the playoffs without becoming a mockery of professional sports?

Why the NHL doesn’t seek to protect the superstars it markets itself around it beyond me. What would happen if Tim Tebow or Tom Brady were knocked unconscious after throwing a pass, or if Reggie Wayne’s season ended from a horse-collar tackle? The NFL wouldn’t–and doesn’t–stand for that. New Orleans Saints’ head coach Sean Payton was suspended the entire upcoming season just for his role in covering up the club’s bounty system plotting to injure stars like Aaron Rodgers.

While a non-contact sport, basketball’s Carmelo Anthony, one of Reuters’ Top 50 Marketable Athletes, was handed a 15-game suspension for a punching incident in 2006; harsh, but that’s how the NBA reacts to episodes giving the league a black eye. And I’m certain Major League Baseball and Soccer would not allow the Ichiro’s and Beckham’s of their sport falling victim to cheap shots, whether the perpetrator is a silver slugger or third-string midfielder.

Head shots are reason for seven of eight on-ice penalties doled out in the playoffs so far, and the double-standard is crystal clear: play in the All-Star game or score a point-per-game average, and get a slap on the wrist. James Neal’s leaping hits to the heads of Claude Giroux and Sean Couturier in Sunday’s melee in Philadelphia resulted in one game, as did Nicklas Backstrom’s crosscheck to Rich Peverley’s face. And Shae Weber can crack the helmet of Henrik Zetterberg–former All-Star, Conn Smythe winner, Calder and Selke Trophy nominee–and receive a mere $2,500 fine. Imagine if Duncan Keith got a real suspension back in March, maybe a month later the Giroux’s, Alfredson’s, and Zetterberg’s of the league wouldn’t have a target on their head.

Marian Hossa is recovering from a headshot delivered by Raffi Torres Tuesday night. We’re all waiting to hear if he’s okay, and Shanahan will also wait for an update to base his ruling. Or at least get TSN’s Bob McKenzie’s two cents first.

Breathe, Canuck Fans. Breeeeathe.

2012-04-14T01:10:00.000-07:00

Referee: “Holding, number eight, defense.”

Henrik: “We decline the penalty.”

Referee: “Vancouver declines. Faceoff will be in the offensive zone, half the distance to the goal.”

Oh sorry, does that option only apply to football? Because it would have been useful during Game Two last night. You know the game isn’t going well when Dustin Brown’s shorthanded posse of four is the biggest threat.

In seriousness, we all just need to take a deeeep breath. Luongo isn’t wasting his best performances of the season as part of a cruel, late April Fools joke. Alex Edler actually knows the difference between blue jerseys and white jerseys, and Vancouver managed to win seven straight games without Daniel Sedin in the lineup quite recently. We aren’t the best team in hockey for no reason, and the best teams find a way to win.

I had flash backs of the 2002 playoffs, which featured the eighth-seeded Canucks versus Presidents’ Trophy champions Detroit Red Wings. Vancouver won the first two games in Joe Louis Arena, despite being badly outshot by Detroit. But the Wings rallied with four straight victories to win the series in six, regardless of the Canucks returning home with all the momentum. Detroit hadn’t won a game in three weeks prior to Game Three and had no business clawing their way back into contention. Granted, momentum shifted after the infamous Nicklas-Lidstrom-mid-ice-blooper-goal on Dan Cloutier, but that’s all it took to turn things around. They found a way to win that series, on their way to winning the Cup.

Besides, it can’t all be for nothing. Vancouver fans are just beginning to make the usual post-season sacrifices, whether it’s refinancing their mortgage to afford tickets or being stuck wearing the same socks out of superstition. I realized a few of mine the other day while “Canuck-izing” the living room in preparation for Game One: 1) My roommate is concerned I’ve been possessed by a crazy person again, 2) I need to purchase a ladder (anything involving a “chair-tower” doesn’t end well), and 3) I’m not getting my damage deposit back. It’s all part of the playoffs, right?

Now someone tell Sami Salo to start firing slap shots at Jonathan Quick from centre ice so we can get back in this thing!

Canucks Win Presidents' Trophy; Host Kings First Round!

2012-04-08T01:35:00.001-07:00

The Vancouver Canucks are back-to-back Presidents' Trophy champions!! And for the second time in three seasons will take on the L.A. Kings in round one of the Stanley Cup playoffs. Vancouver breezed through their final regular season game Saturday against the Oilers, winning 3-0 and outshooting their division rival 42-17.

Fans received some good pre-game news as Daniel Sedin is back skating and hopeful to play in the first round. The next step is practicing with the team again and passing a final medical exam (perhaps Henrik should do the honours just to be sure?)

The Canucks head into postseason on a number of positive notes. Roberto Luongo collected his fifth shutout of the season and will hopefully build some confidence amidst the never-ending goaltending controversy. Henrik found the back of the net in Roger’s Arena for the first time since December while David Booth also snapped a lengthy point drought, scoring on the powerplay with one of his eleven (yes, eleven!) shots on goal.

Like I mentioned before, it won’t be a cakewalk. Jeff Carter, who has missed four games with a bruised ankle, is expected back for game one. Mike Richards comes into the series on a five-game point streak and Anze Kopitar has eleven points in six games. The Canucks’ top line, which only scored once in the four games against L.A., will have to find a way to beat league shutout-leader Jonathan Quick.

The Presidents’ Trophy hasn’t been awarded to the same team consecutively since the 1999-2000 Dallas Stars; they won the Stanley Cup the second time. More to follow, have a fantastic and safe long weekend!

Ten Days until Playoffs!

2012-04-01T00:10:00.000-07:00

As the calendar flips from March to April, Vancouver Canuck fans anxiously await the next chapter of the 2012 season, which begins April 11th. Still, they keep a watchful eye on the battles for remaining playoff spots, as the heated Pacific division’s four contending teams – Dallas, San Jose, Los Angeles, and Phoenix – plus Colorado, vie for a post-season berth. With just a handful of games remaining and five potential opponents in contention, we ask Canuck fans: Who do you want to take on in Round One? Here’s your Playoff Primer.

Dallas Stars

If Friday’s dominating 5-2 victory is any indication, a match up against Dallas could be favorable. Shutting down the Eriksson-Ryder-Ribeiro line (which was involved in six of the Stars’ eleven goals against Vancouver this season) will be key. Both teams won two games apiece in the season series with Cory Schneider backstopping both victories. Chris Higgins collected five points while seven different defensemen chipped in on eight goals.

San Jose Sharks

The Canucks must contain San Jose’s scoring lines as they did in last season’s Western Conference Final, and not overlook the Sharks desperation to succeed in postseason – there is immense pressure on the club at all levels to reach a Stanley Cup final. Like last year, pressuring Antti Niemi with plenty of shots and traffic to the net will produce results, or as Kevin Bieksa would say, “Shots shots, shots shots shots, shots shots…”

Los Angeles Kings

The Kings upgraded in scoring at the trade deadline by reuniting Jeff Carter with Mike Richards, and are fairly healthy aside from forward Simon Gagne sidelined with a concussion. Despite registering on the score sheet in each game against L.A., Canuck defensemen must be more efficient in their own end – Roberto Luongo faced at least 30 shots in every game, most recently a 38-save shutout on March 26^th. Vancouver split the tough season series 2-2.

Phoenix Coyotes

Scoring on Mike Smith was not a simple task for Vancouver this season. The ‘Yotes netminder turned aside 110 shots in three games, meaning execution will be vital for Canuck forwards. Phoenix’s lack of playoff experience could give Vancouver the edge, though veteran Ray Whitney will provide leadership. The real challenge though may be staying awake during this potential seven-game snooze fest.

Colorado Avalanche

On paper this match up strongly favors Vancouver. Luongo and Schneider shared three shutouts and surrendered a stingy five goals in sweeping the six-game season series, and the Sedin line combined for nine points. Possible dark horses: Jannik Hansen and Kevin Bieksa, who each tallied five points against the Ave’s. Still, the enthusiasm of this young Colorado team, along with perennial Canuck-killer Milan Hejduk and Conn Smythe winner J.S. Giguere, should not be underestimated.

Vancouver would play the San Jose Sharks if the playoffs began right now. Thoughts?
