Episode 17. Very apt really.
It's the number of points that Toronto are behind Vancouver in the MLS standings, in the week that TFC are coming to town in Voyageurs Cup action.
Four big Cup games coming up for Vancouver in the next eleven days, two Canadian and two Cascadian, so this week's edition of <i>"West Coast Soccer Weekly"</i> is a Cup special.
There's lots of Voyageurs Cup talk and we also look ahead to the visit of Pacific northwest rivals Seattle on Saturday.
We're joined by Whitecaps assistant manager <b>Paul Ritchie</b> and Whitecaps legend, and current Club ambassador, <b>Carl Valentine</b> to look at both matches, how the Caps will cope in this crunch period and the season so far.
The pair discuss their own past Cup experiences around the world, and with Paul being a City fan (and former player) and Carl a United one, we have to see what they thought of Sunday's thrillling Premiership climax.
We also have a chat with Martin Rennie, Jay DeMerit, Eric Hassli, Bryce Alderson and Callum Irving about just what winning the Voyageurs Cup would mean to each of them on a personal level.

There's also time to look back on the New England game and recent PDL action.
