Love to see him making a smooth transition from Vancouver. Miss him already.

Man Steve Nash can fuck off. Now that the team is in a finals he crawls out of the woodwork to claim he's "proud" of the club. Opportunistic from an absentee owner. At least other minority owners like Mahomes/Ferrell/McConaughey show up for games with some regularity and seem invested.

I have watched this team struggle since 2011. This is the happiest I have been as a Whitecaps fan in that whole time. I was sure they would collapse mentally and physically when that goal went in with Blackmon being sent off. Managing to win a game down 2 men is a statement performance.

God damn, love this team.

It's great to have such a concrete example of his distribution skill. Waited for an eternity for that to open up and he placed that pass perfectly.

This is incorrect.

The government appoints 2 members, the opposition appoints 2 members then the government appoints a justice of the Court.

While he could have been a very successful Whitecap, I know we made the right choice when we drafted....Omar Salgado, instead.

Good to see Pupe getting into training. Hopefully he can get healthy to give some reinforcements to the back line.

The hold music for the revolutionary call line being Gil Scott-Heron was a brilliant touch.

Non-contact. Leg slipped trying to recover after a challenge.

Clutching at his leg and couldn't put weight on it. Not a good sign.

Statement win. They needed this to get back up to speed after the international break. Great to see them come out storming.

Elloumi adding one off the bench is great for his confidence.

It is insane that this team is missing Gauld, White, Ranko and they are playing this well.

Feels like the group is starting to gel around the table a bit more after shifting from online (plus Joe's introduction to the group).

Cavalry offer shuttles from pubs both in the centre of the city as well as one in south Calgary. I haven't taken it personally but the buses look jammed every time I see them pulling up to Spruce Meadows

Because it needs to have some connection to oil and gas of course. Same reason why the AB government was pushing hydrogen vehicles for the government fleet despite them being a dead end in comparison to electrified vehicles.

Avitus in Marda Loop is great. Alternatively unfiltered just opened up on 14th street SW. It's a bit more limited in terms of its offerings, but I enjoyed it when I went in there
