Stryker911 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Whitecaps added a 32 year old US keeper today who previously played for Indy in the USL. Hopefully, what is being reported is accurate, Crepeau becomes the starter, Hasan goes to Europe, Boehner plays u23, and this new guy parks himself firmly on the bench.

ADP10 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Made the starting xi for the MLS Team of the Week. Thats 3/4 weeks we have had at least one Canadian in the starting xi. Corazon, dyslexic nam, Ruffian and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
costarg Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Show the love guys. It's just nuts we haven't touched this man's thread since May. I can confirm I sleep a lot better with him in goal than Borjan. Same deal as Henry v Vitoria. I feel the only thing holding him back 3-4 inches of height to be the typical and fashionable 2021 goalkeeper.

Floortom Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I wonder if theres any chance of Herdman going with Max as the #1? I’m guessing Borjan will retain the #1 for now but I wouldn’t have a problem with Max starting in September Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxime really strengthened his case to be a legit starter for us whether or not Borjan is available. Funny, a while back I was thinking St Clair might displace Maxine as our second. A bit has changed since then. Edited July 30, 2021 by dyslexic nam Club Linesman, CanadaFan123, Corazon and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaFan123 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 The thing with Maxime is that he doesn't have those crazy moments we have with Borjan. Borjan is probably a better keeper for matches where we are expecting heavy pressure but in a match where we expect to control I think Crepeau might be a better choice as he doesn't get bored and try to be a hero.

cronaldo7 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I’ve completely bought-in as Max as our #1. I know many on this board were giving it a shout for a while and I was a bit ignorant to believe that Borjan was our clear #1. But after his display this tournament (good shot stopping, good with his feet, leader, etc) I’m very confident in him. That’s what the Gold Cup can do.

BrennanFan Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Crepeau has been a revelation. He is damn good with his feet. Composed and confident. Saved a pen against Mex in front of 70K Mexicans. What more can you ask? He is ready. For the time being, I will still take Milan's experience and shot stopping, but Max is gunning for the #1 job and he may take it before the Octo is done. cronaldo7, Obinna, toontownman and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympique_de_Marseille Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 As I said about Kennedy in another thread, there could be rotation. Match #1 against Honduras, Crépeau could start to give Borjan more time to get over the travel and jet lag. Match #2 and #3 Borjan plays.

Obinna Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Wasn't it less than a year ago we were talking about Crepeau arguably being 3rd behind St. Clair? Amazing how things change. Crepeau definitely in the no. 1 conversation now. Cblake, BearcatSA, costarg and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig11rm Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 One thing that I would like to add about Crepeau is how safe his hands are. If he comes out to grab a cross he rarely drops the ball and when he decides to punch he gets a lot of power on it and it usually goes to a safe place. I think Borjan is a better shot stopper overall but I think Crepeau might be stronger in every other aspect of his game.

Amazing how things change. Crepeau definitely in the no. 1 conversation now. People have always underestimated Crépeau. After giving up a goal at Camp Poutine in 2020 people were crapping on him, even though the whole team was defending the set piece very poorly. Right before the 2015 Olympic Qualifying people were rating him below Quillian Roberts. He's always managed to prove the doubters wrong.

Joe MacCarthy Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Another reason to feel good about the CMNT goaltending situation:; as the team rushes to celebrate/congratulate Crepeau he seems to be the only one with the presence of mind to tell them "Hey, get out there and cover that throw in we still got a game to play" dyslexic nam, Cblake, johnyb and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't save "all three points", he saved 2. He just waited focused, and the penalty was badly taken to help. It'd be a shame if they don't make the playoffs.

dyslexic nam Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 He may not have had a ton to do last night, but that (literal) last minute fingertip save rescued a point for us and stopped Jamaica from gathering some much needed momentum. In the two away games he has let in a single goal in Azteca. That is pretty impressive. On this day after thanksgiving, I will say that I am thankful Max has stepped up to the point where Borjan going down doesn’t cause me huge concern about our keeping situation (other than reduced depth). And I don’t mean that in any way to disrespect Milan, but Crepeau has shown he is starter-quality.

Bottom line for me is that Crepeau has to make that save to be sure - and he did. Cblake, Ivan and Grandbloke 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only saw the two camera angles of the shot from the same side of the field and to me there is nothing clear about the ball's destination. I'll take it as an alert save.

First instinct is they should keep him, but maybe this is also the time they look to move him on (if there's a team in Europe that's interested) and promote Hasal up to the starting role.
