Good Friday morning Caps fans. Hope you all are having a good week and that you are ready for the weekend. The big news of this week was not Vancouver’s disappointing (yet electric) 4-3 loss to FC Cincinnati on Wednesday. If only that were the biggest disappointment of the week. No, it appears the Caps have finalized a deal to sell Sebastian Berhalter to Championship … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Friday July 24
Good Friday morning Caps fans. Hope it’s been a good week and that you are closing in on a weekend break. It was a disappointing end to the group stage for Canada, who deserved at least a draw but was left empty handed against Switzerland.

Good Monday morning Caps fans. Sorry for the late send (this is more like “lunchtime with the Caps”), but I hope you all had a lovely weekend and that you have a good week ahead of you.
