Boehmer is the main WFC2 kid, and he's part of the group isolating now. WFC2 also has a game this weekend, as does the the new League 1 team that has their opener. So, I wouldn't be surprised to see the 4th stringer (Ben Alexander) on the bench for them but it's still a bit of a mess. Bison44 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seen anything like this, then again we are in a pandemic. Would be a miracle if the Caps pull a win out of this match, draw could be nice. Remember when the leafs lost to the Zambezi driver? York also played on the island last night. I suppose they just like him better than Irving. Those 2 were probably the only real options.

narduch Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 This reminds me of season 1 TFC needing to bring in MLS pool keeper Sam Reynolds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youllneverwalkalone Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Should have sign Giantsopoulos or one of the CPL keepers in the first place. nolando 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean at the start of the season or after Hasal got injured? Because at the start of the season it was clear they wanted to go with Hasal as the #1. We bemoan our young keepers not getting playing time, so to pull one out of CPL to bet the backup isn't necessarily what they would want to do. Glad Max Anchor got to make his pro debut today. Understandably nervous early, let down by the defense late. I'm not going to nitpick on the game of a 17 year old in a one-off game called up on an emergency basis.

Bison44 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Poor Anchor got roasted by Veselinovic on the second goal...what a goof that was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearcatSA Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 At the very least, Max gets a good story to tell his kids. I am hoping this is just one story in what will be a long pro journey for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmen Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Sartini on Sportsnet 650 just now. Said winning the Voyageurs Cup was more important to the club than making the playoffs. Maybe he said it because the Whitecaps are basically out of the playoffs already. Goal_Kick and SpursFlu 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichV Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 So, I don't think the right goaltender choice was made. They put in a 17 year old kid when they had an experienced pro on the bench. Further, Jungwirth was taking the goal kicks! In the end it might not have made a difference, but it is the little things that add up.

I had more concern with Anchor's injury situation (which I believe was the reason for his not taking goal kicks) than anything else. It would have been criminal if he ended up aggravating a much more serious long term injury in the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmen Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Did not expect that result. I'd seen how far down the table SKC was, but did not realize how truly bad they were until watching the game yesterday. Metro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Caps were set up well defensively against against a side which is presently offensively challenged with the personnel at their disposal. Russell is better as an inverted winger on the right than in a central attacking role but missed two good chances. However, the Caps did the job and got the three.

Yeah, Russell really should have done better with his chances but I'll take it. Thought Jungwirth did better in Central midfield than a bunch of our normal options and Teibert definitely wasn't missed. PastPros 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmen Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Even the coach admitting they were lucky to win this one. Still, a winning streak without Teibert should be noted by the coaching staff. I hope he gets better, just doesn't start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyslexic nam Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Just a selfish post - if anyone here has access to the 2017 Pharmasave stickers (or knows of a source/shop that might have some) please PM me. Not trying to screw anyone out of their old Davies stuff or anything - just hoping to track something down. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmen Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Good thing Seattle was missing players or that could have been even worse. I feel like Sartini got fooled by his 3 at the back working against bad teams, and it just got exposed again against a better one. wallflower 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
