NOOOOOOO Dunfield has been traded... This is horrible news He was my favourite player!!

Congratulations to the Whitecaps for the W. Not getting much love from CDC I see but Empire was great, as usual I think the events since Wednesday were pretty heavy on everyone's minds... The commentators went off on a tangent somewhere in the second half and I could really hear the disgust in one of the commentator's voices, only to have Martin Nash refute and say that the rioters weren't sports fans, as sports fans come for the game, and that "99%" of Vancouverites condemn those acts. I haven't followed the Caps much since NHL playoffs but I do follow a few on Twitter, and they are such awesome people. I think they wanted to win an extra bit more today to offer a reprieve for the city... Thanks Caps <3

Oh dear I just heard about this on Twitter I know very little about soccer so I'm not sure how much of the team's record is his fault. Well that's too bad. Good luck TT. Edit: The Southsiders are very upset with this move... Apparently the new coach is a total loser. TT seemed like a real classy guy that probably just needed more time. I will trust the Whitecaps owners though...

Hopefully the roof will be ready by then.

Hopefully we'll get a chance to. I hear that the team will have to make the post-season if they wanna play a game in BC Place, because it won't be done till after the regular season is over

I made that post a few minutes before the match started, where it was empty... I'm pleased with the turnout, all things considered Too bad we couldn't get a win, but such a late tying goal... Can't complain

Do not!

Stands are nearly completely empty... Where are the Southsiders?

Martin Nash tweeted that Steve will be at the game today... Hopefully he can be a good luck charm (or motivator for the team).. Also, dreadful weather! Usually rainy home games would clear up by game time >_>

Heard it here in E. Van! Love thunderstorms

But "goalie" is still accepted, yes? :D

Oh I see, so it is a farm team.

I have a question about the "reserve team"... Is this name for a farm team in the MLS? If so why was our goalie playing in the Caps reserve team?

I wonder if there will be any Martin Nash jerseys for sale. I'd still like to get his, seeing as he's been with the organization so long. But yes I wish Bell's name wasn't on the front either. I took a look at a few in Lougheed and it made me feel like a billboard. However I'm sure they wouldn't be willing to sponsor our team if their logo wasn't plastered in plain view

Those poor elderly people. I know the medical workers can't be blamed, but it sounds so barbaric, just leaving them to die together

Seems like there's earthquakes happening everywhere. Chile and Ontario had minor ones yesterday, 5.3 and 4.7 magnitude respectively.

The plume tracking thing is pretty nifty. Thanks for the link.. Looks like Van is safe from even the slightest of radiation (if it's accurate). People are claiming that Japan has 48 hours from Wednesday to avoid a Chernobyl disaster: Japan has 48 hours to bring its rapidly escalating nuclear crisis under control before it faces a catastrophe "worse than Chernobyl", it was claimed on Wednesday night. Nuclear safety officials in France said they were "pessimistic" about whether engineers could prevent a meltdown at the Fukushima power plant after a pool containing spent fuel rods overheated and boiled dry.

^I'm curious why food isn't dropped in for them from planes? Is it because of the fear of radiation?

Good to see you're safe!

Are you mad because the workers are evacuating? It's a really dangerous situation, and getting worse for them.

BBC's take: Staff working to douse reactors at the stricken Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant have had to be withdrawn because of a spike in radiation levels.Japanese authorities are investigating the source of white smoke seen billowing from reactor 3 at the plant, which was damaged in Friday's earthquake and tsunamiA new fire that broke out inside reactor 4 on Wednesday morning at the plant is apparently out, but radiation levels remain too high for workers to approach the four reactors

Oh good, one less thing to worry about if the big one hits. And I meant in the NHL, but I didn't know they played in top level hockey either... Figured hockey to them would be like cricket to us.

The Japanese are truly admirable. If they ever picked up hockey, they would make the perfect selfless teammates (like Swedes). Also, BC doesn't use nuclear energy, do we?

Might be because what we were talking about is inappropriate right now... Kinda agree, bad judgment on my part.

You know how you're feeling the pain of the people of Japan, even though you're not experiencing it first hand? It's something like that. There's a word for it, empathy. We can bring this up another time though.. In a different thread once the crisis is over. Not the right context to debate about right now.
