Out of the sport teams in Vancouver, the WhiteCaps are doing the best.

BC LIons have lot new talent, not expecting to much there. Canucks are a aging team & the others are younger bigger & faster, not expect much there either.

WhiteCaps are #1 in Western Conference & #2 overall in the league

Vancouver wins & ends up 2nd place in Western Conference, which gives them by in first round of playoffs.

Both Eastern Canadian clubs are in playoffs, unfortunately they play each other first round. So only 1 will continue aftr that.

Whitecaps beat Seattle Sounders 2-1 in a friendly from two goals by Darren Mattocks! The second in the 90th minute!

I actually don't pay any attention to preseason games since they are meaningless.
One team could be playing mostly regulars while the other team has mostly rookies/trying out for the team.

They are meaningless for sure. They were streamed online though and it was a great opportunity to see all the players play. The Whitecaps would field a completely new team for each half.

Some of our new players were great, but I'm constantly impressed by our home grown talent.

^^^ Don't get me wrong I've been follower & fan since Denny Veitch and Herb Capozzi made that announcement back in late 1973, of the forming of the Vancouver WhiteCaps.

May 2016 be the year they win MLS title.

That's great. I've been a fan since their old UCL days at Swangard Stadium. They get such great support at their games here that the atmosphere is terrific.

Can't wait till March 6, they'll be opening their season against Montreal Impact.
