Good Friday morning Caps fans, hope you all are doing well and gearing up for some rest and relaxation. It was a turbulent and emotional midweek for the Caps. The good news is they are officially king of British Columbia, seeing off Pacific FC 3-0 to advance to their second consecutive Voyageurs Cup final, which will be hosted at BC Place in two weeks time … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Friday May 26
Good Monday morning Caps fans, hope you all had a relaxing weekend and that the vibes for you were as good as they were on the pitch Saturday night. Indeed, the 2-0 triumph over Seattle on Saturday night was perhaps Vancouver’s finest performance of the season to date, as they just absolutely worked the Sounders in a match that could have ended 5 or 6-nil. … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Monday May 22
Good Friday morning Caps fans, hope you all are gearing up for a pleasant weekend with family, friends and maybe, just maybe a side dose of football. The midweek brought little joy, as the Caps squandered a gift of an early lead to fall 2-1 to FC Dallas in Frisco. The Caps have had a disproportionate amount of success in north Texas over the years … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Friday May 19
Good Monday morning Caps fans. Hope your weekend was relaxing and restful and that your workweek is fruitful and productive. It was not a fruitful work trip for Vancouver to Portland on Saturday, with the unbeaten run finally ending with a 3-1 loss to their Cascadia Cup rivals. Some sketchy defending undid the Caps, as did some admittedly splendid play from the Timbers’ playmaker, Evander. … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Monday May 15

Good Monday morning Caps fans, hope you all are well rested and that your Monday morning isn’t too, well, Monday-y. If it helps, there is the lingering joy of three points from Saturday, with the Caps dispatching Minnesota United 3-2 in a bit of a wild affair. It appears this is the match where the Caps finally caught up to their expected goals, though it happened … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Monday May 8
Good Friday morning Caps fans, hope you all are gearing up for a nice weekend/Cinco de Mayo festivities. The Caps are back in action at BC Place Saturday against a team that has largely been their mirror this season: Minnesota United. Without an AWOL Emmanuel Reynoso, the Loons have struggled to create chances and score goals but have been defensively solid. Sound like anyone we … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Friday May 5
Good Monday morning Caps fans and happy May. Hope you are mentally OK with April going by in the blink of an eye because, like it or not, it did. There isn’t a ton to report from Saturday night’s 0-0 stalemate with Colorado Rapids, with the away side effectively neutralizing the Caps best efforts offensively. If you replay that exact match 100 times, with the … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Monday May 1
Good Friday morning Caps fans. April has absolutely zoomed by and May is right around the corner — hope you all are mentally prepared. I jinxed the Caps on Monday when I predicted they would be silent on deadline day. While there are no in-comings to report, the club did send out Cristian Dajome to DC United for 350k in guaranteed GAM, plus additional money … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Friday April 28
Good Monday morning Caps fans, hope you all had a lovely weekend and are gearing up for an equally lovely work week. The most Caps-related news we got over the weekend came from the Canadian Premier League, courtesy of Shaan Hundal, who decided to pop off after helping secure a 2-1 victory for Vancouver FC over York United, the maiden victory in the club’s history. … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Monday April 24
