  1. He had 4 series wins, in 3 full years as Flyers head coach. Has 6 series wins (and counting) as an assistant with the Kings, and has a cup. The man knows how to win. Although his teams have never finished higher than 5th. He's the anti AV.
  2. Whitecaps now have 5 (MLS) wins since May of 2012. That's the month they got rid of Hassli, Le Toux, and Chiumento. They have 3 wins in the last 9 months. Scored 2 or more goals just 4 times since then.
  3. Since Rennie blew up the team, by getting rid of Chumento, Hassli, and Le Toux, the Whitecaps have won 5 MLS games in 11 months. They won 6 MLS games in a month and a half last year, before the blow up. Rennie is NOT a good coach. Camilo leads the team in goals, and yet he has been benched half the season for no reason. Rennie has had a different starting XI in EVERY game this year. He played all our top strikers the full 90 minutes against an NASL team, just 4 days before we play the best team in the MLS.
  4. One of the mods/admin clearly work for hockeybuzz. Sad how none of them will do anything.
  5. It looks like the Whitecaps will re acquire Davide Chiumento. He tweeted on the 10th that he was on his way back to Vancouver. Also a few of the guys who cover the 'Caps have tweeted hints that he is coming back as well. This is awesome. He only played 1/2 a season this year, and 2/3rds of the 'Caps total goals came from when he was with the team. There was clearly a drop off when he was transferred. He is a much better passer for the strikers than Robson
  6. EVERYtime the 'Caps have traded for a roster spot, they have made a significant move. I wonder what they got up their sleeve. I REALLY hope they take a run at Kenny Cooper.
  7. Lowest attended west final in BC Place history. This team has other issues, that are not just on the field.
  8. Do only two Grey Cups excuse all this? 03 playoffs, 2004 GC, 2005 WF, 2007 WF, 2008 WF, 2009 EF, 2010 WSF, '12 WF. A LOT of missed chances under the Buono administration. This team should have 5 Grey Cups, not 2.
  9. by reacting you just give them what they want. The CFL has just become a running/screen pass league. This was the lowest attended playoffs that featured the 3 big stadium teams (Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver) in history, and it was by over 34% Toronto's lowest attended playoff game ever with only 25k(in Skydome/Rogers Centre), lowest west final crowd for the Lions ever with 42k (in BC Place). This league is far from healthy. People are sick of certain things, that the league does not address. Not saying it was a factor tonight, but bad reffing has been a factor for two decades now. League say's they invest the max they can in the officials(They don't. Their yearly salary is less than minimum wage would be), yet Mark Cohon has a private jet that the league paid for.
  10. Hard to argue with any of your points. Caps won 3 games in the 2nd half of the season. Which marks when we traded/transferred Chummy, Hassli, and Le Toux.
  11. He ran about 15-20k in 65 min of action. Having him as our loan striker, was asking a bit much. He needed support.
  12. who cares, no one in LA seems to care about them... Back to the 'Caps. On the bright side our younger players looked really good. Watson, and Mattocks are the future of the team, and if Selgado and Tiebert can stay healthy, this team will be good for years to come. Our DP's next years HAVE to be better. Too much spent on Robson (who did look good a parts this year) and Miller (5th highest paid player in the league, and struggled all year).
  13. That was the 'Caps game plan though. Bad game plan or not aside, that was NOT a PK. Giant coincidence LA, and NY have the most PKs this year, and have the most fouls their favor. Not saying the MLS tells refs to make them win, but their star power is clearly intimidating refs. Caps had ONE PK all year. 6 teams had more in one game alone this season. How is this fair?
  14. Ref has extensive past of idiotic calls. He once awarded NY a goal after HE blew the play dead. Here is another, separate incident. http://prosoccertalk.nbcsports.com/2012/08/04/another-mls-referee-looks-the-other-way-on-red-card-foul/ He should not have been in the playoffs.
  15. BTW LA has a seat "cap" tonight. Because they stadium is on a university they signed an agreement that only limited seats could be opened for weekday games. The "cap" was lifted from the regular 7500 max, but they did not open all seats tonight.
  16. That was a meaningful game for RSL, and we gave them no real chances, and if not for a phantom offside call on Mattocks, would have won 1-0. My only fear is Rennie will play Miller. Our offence went completely away as soon as he came on. All 6 shots came before the 70th min. Miller came on at the 70th minute.
  17. Most of these matches have been good so far, I just have no invested interest in any of these matches. Bad booking.
  18. 1 game elimination. Regular MLS playoff rules apply. Two 15 min half's of ET (if tied at end of .90 min), and then PK's if still tied.
  19. Once the MLS gets more teams a better playoff format will be created. With only 20 teams, you can't do a 16 team playoff, and 8 teams is to few. This play in (4 vs 5) game creates buzz and interest in two extra cities. For what Miller and Robson make they both should be giving it 110% on every play, and they don't. I think Miller plays hard most of the time, it's just his age has caught up to him. I have NO CLUE what's going on with Robson. For about 4 games he looked like a giant upgrade on Chummy, but EVERY other game he has looked far worse.
  20. lol that's what they say, he is not calling you that
  21. Nov 1st Whitecaps @ LA Galaxy 7:30 HDC, Playoff game. Winner goes on to face SJ in a two game total goal playoff series in the next round, that will likely start on the following Sunday. One regular season game next Sat Finding SOME/ANY chemistry with some players is only goal of that game.
  22. I meant since their re-birth. Obviously Soccer Bowl 79 was bigger.
  23. 80%+ of total teams goals happened when we had: Hassli, Chummy, and Le Toux. Why in the effing world would Rennie think that blowing up a 3rd place team would benefit the club?!
  24. Just to make my point, the Whtiecaps are coming up on their biggest game in their history, and have any of you seen or heard an ad for this game, at all? Outside of their daily print ad in the Province, they have done NOTHING in terms radio pre Youtube video or TV ads. Portland and Seattle run a few hundred ads on TV and pre Youtube videos a week, and neither team has ever NOT had a sell out . You have to advertise to get people to go. All the current advertising is done by the fans. Even the Canucks understand marketing better than these clowns. "Love this team, love this game" "We are all Canucks" were great ads, that got people into the team more.
  25. Blame Britany Nicholson (Manager of Fan relations. bnicholson@whitecapsfc.com) and Rachel Lewis (Marketing Dept. RLewis@whitecapsfc.com) Those two, and the entire marketing staff were hired with ZERO sports marketing experience. Sports marketing is so different than regular marketing that a lot of schools offer "Sports Marketing" as a separate major. Getting fans in seats is different than running a bank. Which is wear they hired most of their staff. I named those two specifically because of everyone I talked to, those were the two to say 'you can't have a support group in the north end', 'the north end is a more preferred place to sit', and 'our pre game tail gate does not prevent people from getting to their seats on time'. They once ran the pre game tail gate 5 minutes into game time. These two can be "middle men" for all I know, I am just getting sick of people outside the actual managing of the team, being so disrespectful towards the fans. I am trying to put my own support group in HALF the north end away from the families. It would be PG (no swearing and cursing). Would really help if you guys could email them (respectfully) to implore them to allow a north end support group.
