Good Monday morning Caps fans, hope you all had a relaxing weekend and a good start to spooky season — it’s hard to believe October is already here. The real spooky season will apparently be the push for the playoffs, with Vancouver again dropping points with a 2-2 draw against DC United on Saturday. Being back in the friendly confines of BC Place gave Vancouver … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Monday October 2
Good Friday morning Caps fans, hope you all are settling in for the weekend after a busy workweek — perhaps with a trip to BC Place finally back on the menu. We all were reminded Wednesday that the promise held by games in hand does not always come to fruition, even when it involves the worst team in the league. The Caps drew 2-2 with … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Friday September 29
Good Monday morning Caps fans, hope you all had a pleasant weekend and are mentally prepared to be back at your desks. I’m not quite there yet. Things didn’t go according to plan on Saturday, as Vancouver threw away another match from a winning position to fall 2-1 to Real Salt Lake. It was a blow to the Caps’ hopes of finishing top four but, … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Monday September 25th
Good Friday morning Caps fans, hope you all are wrapping up your week and that you have a fun and relaxing weekend in store. Well, all good things must come to an end and the Caps’ remarkable unbeaten run to start their grand tour of North America came to a screeching halt on Wednesday in Houston, with the Dynamo prevailing 4-1 in a match where … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Friday September 22
Good Monday morning Caps fans. Hope you all had a lovely weekend and that the Sunday scaries didn’t hit too hard last night. There was nothing for the Caps to be scared of in Toronto, though they still made things mildly interesting for themselves, conceding first against lowly TFC. They then proceeded to roar back and grab control of the match, bagging two goals but, … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Monday September 18
Good Friday morning Caps fans, hope you all are having a lovely week with a dash of fall weather mixed in. It was a busy 48 hours for the Caps, perfectly timed to the ramp up ahead of Saturday’s match against Toronto FC. The Caps are poised to bring in an attacker and see another forward depart the club. Outgoing is Sergio Cordova, who heads … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Friday September 15
Good Monday morning Caps fans, hope you all had a peaceful weekend and are back with your nose to the grindstone (though hopefully not too hard). There isn’t much to report in Capsland, what with a brief chance for everyone to catch their breath before Saturday’s trip to Toronto FC. Results have gone Vancouver’s way as much as can be expected and, if they are … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Monday September 11
Good Friday morning Caps fans, hope you all have had a quiet and pleasant week and that the weekend will bring more of the same. Quiet is certainly how I would describe the international break — it has been almost too quiet, what with only a few MLS teams playing through the international break. I know the folks at The Third Sub are anxious to … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Friday September 8
Good Monday morning Caps fans. Hope you all had a good weekend, a good Labour Day and are back at work, ready to go. I will confess to not watching the match on Saturday, as I was in the midst of a move, though it sounds as if I didn’t miss much.

Good Friday morning Caps fans and happy September. Hope you all are having a good week and that freedom is at hand soon for some weekend relaxation. It was a productive midweek for Vancouver, who turned in a competent if gritty performance on Wednesday in Chicago, seeing off the fire in a 1-0 win. If you missed the match, this is probably not one to … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Friday September 1
