Good Monday morning, Caps fans. I hope you’re having a good start to your week and enjoying the spring-like weather we finally have. It was a wild ride on Saturday night but, somehow, someway the Caps pulled out a 3-2 win over Portland. And boy, is there a lot to unpack here. The Timbers looked a bit better than they did in the return fixture, … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Monday April 6
The Vancouver Whitecaps return to action on Saturday night, hosting the Portland Timbers in the return fixture of their Cascadia Cup rivalry at BC Place. This is a weird quirk of the schedule this year, where some teams play the same team twice in just a few weeks. From Vancouver’s perspective, that isn’t a bad thing, as their 4-1 thrashing of Portland at Providence Park … Continue reading Match Preview: Vancouver looks for the double over Portland
Good Monday morning Caps fans. Hope you all had a lovely weekend and are gearing up for the week ahead. It was business as usual on Saturday night, as the Whitecaps cruised past Portland 4-1.

The Vancouver Whitecaps picked up 2025 just about where 2024 left off: running rampant over Portland Timbers in their own stadium. Sure, you can chalk much of the 4-1 win down to an 11th minute red card for the Timbers but the Caps didn’t hesitate to take advantage of their good fortune. Jayden Nelson had his coming out party, with four goal contributions, and it … Continue reading Report Card: WWE Smackdown in Portland
Good Friday morning Caps fans, hope you all have had a lovely week of fall colors and playoff smackdowns — here’s to more of the same this weekend.
