Man, it's hard not to get excited for Millar.

Liam Millar might actually be the best Canadian prospect.... no direspect to Davies but wow this kid is good, if only Tabla would commit...

Cue 3 years down the road when Millar goes through a bit of a slump:

"Why are we still calling this guy up?"

[apbsmith]

Props Piette, don't mess wth our boy Millar

[Obinna]

Edwards for Larin now. Up and down showing from him today. Slightly disappointed just because of what I expect from him.

[Moldy9]

Good job Sam! Millar taken down and the Bulldog goes in for revenge. You can hear someone yell to the ref “Call the first one!”

[Hawkguy]

I love Piette so much lol

[NickH]

Millar in the middle now with Edwards on the left and Akindele on the right.

[Shortdutchcanuck]

Lovely ball from Wotherspoon then Akindele.

[NickH]

SO close for Millar. Great play by Wotherspoon, Akindele, and Millar.

[apbsmith]

wow great link up by the 3, common millar bury one!

[Yohan]

oh man. I really wanted Millar to get that goal to finalize a good first cap

[kingvikingstad]

Man - we actually look really good right now

[Obinna]

Great ball by spoon to Akindele who smashes it across goal to Millar. Just couldn’t connect.

[Hawkguy]

Millar has already done more than Larin. Why does Larin hate Canada lol

[Hawkguy]

Edgar is good. Glad he's back. 

[Rheo]

Biggest disappointment of the game for me is the Herdman Yelling Twitter account being quiet during the game.  This was a perfect game for it...

Millar looks fantastic.  But I must have missed all those goals he scored today.

[Obinna]

Another give away by Edgar. Good performance otherwise.

[Moldy9]

Borjan is so funny

[Bison44]

Godinho looks much more comfortable on the defensive end than Petrasso, and he makes a few runs.  

[Obinna]

Osorio just wide. Great run. Should have scored.

[Watchmen]

Edgar's play today makes me wonder why the Whitecaps couldn't work something out with him.

Are you implying Larin ever looks good versus similar or better competition?

Larin is a good player. But he needs help. Millar Is already creating things himself. 

And when Liam gives up the ball, he busts his ass to get it back. Larin's effort level leaves something to be desired for me.

according to Edgar they wanted to but didn’t have the roster room.

Yeah he’s a little rusty. Sure that will get sorted after getting regular time
