@SadClubCommish I know you felt this after all the suffering we have endured with the Canucks. Enjoy this winning moment Jason. I know I am. Burrows Slaying the Dragon tops it but not much else!!!
@onesoccer@AlexGangueRuzic Once again. A banger of a post-match piece. Thank you! What a game. Let’s push to win the group and keep the boys in Van!!!!
@onesoccer@AlexGangueRuzic Very well written. I always look forward to reading your post match pieces for both the men’s and women’s teams. Keep up the great work. I hope you are enjoying your experience at the World Cup!
@CanucksArmy Stenberg. He should be number 1 overall. What he did in his draft year is historic. Look at the names of the other players below him in p/pg in the SHL in their draft season. Malhotra put together a two month run than 100’s of 2nd or 3rd line centres have done before.
@MarkLazerus I just wanted to add. If you haven’t listened to Dungeon Crawler Carl in audiobook format you are missing out. It is the single greatest entertainment thing I have ever consumed. So you trust my opinion…Andor is definitely in discussion for greatest TV show ever.
I am completely gutted by today’s result but incredibly proud of our season. We’ve come a long way in five years and this was the best result in our 150+ year history. More to do. But for now, we have so much to be proud of, Reds.
STATEMENT FROM VANCOUVER MAYOR KEN SIM:
The Whitecaps have been Vancouver’s club since 1974. Many things have changed throughout the years: the players, the logos, the kits, and the stadiums, just to name a few. The one thing that has never changed is Vancouver’s love of this team.
The Whitecaps are one of the top teams in the MLS, they were the runners up in last year’s championship, and they sit in the top ten of league attendance at an average of 24,000+ per game. While we understand that professional sports is a complex business, it would be a mistake for any team to leave a market with such a longstanding history and ready-made fanbase.
The City of Vancouver has done its part to create a path forward for the team’s future here by offering prime space at Hastings Park for the Whitecaps to construct a new stadium and entertainment district.
Now, we face the difficult part.
BC Place is owned and operated by the Provincial Government. In fact, it’s the only stadium owned and operated by a government found anywhere in the MLS. In order for the team to stay in Vancouver, the Whitecaps and Province must sign a bridge deal that will allow BC Place to become viable in the near term while a new stadium can be designed and built.
That's why today, we are calling on the team’s ownership to publicly and clearly articulate what they need to stay here in Vancouver, and we are calling on the Provincial Government to come to the table and make that a reality.
To all Vancouver Whitecaps fans, to the @Southsiders, and to all of the supporter groups, we need you to keep the fight going. We need you to stay strong, and we need you to stay loud.
Losing the Whitecaps is not an option. #SAVETHECAPS
The Whitecaps and the city of Vancouver need YOUR voice to #SaveTheCaps. Be there this Saturday April 25 and let the world know we’re here to stay. #VWFC
