Thought kickoff was 8pm?

Edit. 8pm by 'Caps page.

That's just odd. They're playing the game at 9pm Edmonton time??

I changed it above. But we should think about the march and maybe play it by ear.

The Toronto-Montreal match is 5:00-7:00pm PT, so we shouldn't march until 7:00pm at the very earliest (in my opinion).

Worst case scenario: Toronto-Montreal match ends 0-0, goes into extra time (which also finishes 0-0), and is decided by penalties. That would end around... 7:40pm?

I see 8pm on Ticketmaster, so I guess the match is at 8pm officially.

love it. hockey back to back and then the caps. late night for the two little caps tonight.

Darren Mattocks added to the ACC roster, sayeth the twitter.

ETA: Barbara, also. And Rennie suggests Mattocks could make the bench tomorrow.

make that 2-0

Since Toronto FC are in the final does that mean the 1st leg is in Vancouver if we see off Edmonton tonight??

Toronto get the choice, but there has been some discussion that they will decide to be home first for scheduling reasons.

So far the 4th official has been the most consistent with his calls.

I like how the Caps walked away from that offside call as if it was Pierluigi blowing the whistle.....

Camillo, argh. I think this team goes as far as he takes them. If he could play the good pass more often from the positions he gets in, this team would have twice as many goals. He's missed some open runs and made some inexcusable passes tonight, but he's the most impactful player in blue most nights.

My mistake on that goal, I think it was Nanchoff who got beat down the left for the cross.

If Monsalve bombs out here, you gotta think that's it for his career. He's already washed out of MLS and the Scandanavian minor leagues. Not many other options left if he keeps on playing like this.

Ha, you could see that Le Toux goal coming before the ball was kicked. No one picked him up at the far post and he signalled Chiumiento for it. Davide's really taken over here.

Funniest part of the mattocks goal was when Pat got hug rejected!!!! No capo love!

was really hoping barbara would get that goal too

Thoughts:

-This was the wrong game for Hassli, needed a high energy type to pressure Edmonton and stop their buildup. Really saw a difference when Le Toux and Barbara came on.

-Klazura is not the finished product, but he has speed, work ethic and technical ability. Needs to work on crossing and seems to have one bad giveaway a match, but for a guy with two professional games he looks very comfortable and will push Lee.

-Mixed game from Nanchoff. Had a clear goal disallowed and had other chances but also went missing for parts and should have done better on his one-on-one.

-Didn't think Thorrington and Franks played that well but had a tough job with everyone else getting forward.

-Edmonton played well for a lot of the game, but in a properly refereed match they would have been a man down and goal down by the twenty-fifth minute and the whole match would have unfolded differently.

-No Tan, or Harris on the bench, Boxall not getting the start and Tiebert not seeing the field. Some guys on the outs or at least the fringe.

Don't wanna harp, but you'd think by the time you attempted your sixth first touch back pass/flick, without it working, you would probably stop trying to make that play. It's funny as soon as seba, and Barbara come how a man up front who does run, and does try to make turns and dribble past defenders as opposed to one touch back passes, how much the offense changes...just saying.

LittleBird said: Harris and Tan not even on the bench, wow. Would rather have seen Tan than Hassli tonight.

They need Tan for the game on Saturday. This was a great time tonight to get in Mattocks and Barbara.

Hassli did a very good job of maintaining possession in the middle of the park in the first half. I have no idea if that's what Rennie asked him to do, and he certainly wasn't a goal threat.

Knighton made one good save and put himself on the line.

Klazura was very good for stretches but then gave the ball away needlessly a few times.

Same with Mitchell: dominant at times, then would just kick the ball upfield to no one. And should have got to the ball on their goal.

DeMerit was kind of absent.

Harvey was solid except for when he wasn't.

Thorrington was our best player in the first half, just very composed on the ball, then faded a bit in the second.

Franks, well, he's added depth... Anyone else see him get pissed at Klazura for not catching up to a lofted pass that went too long?

Chiumiento was ineffective in the first half, totally turned the game around in the last 30 minutes.

Nanchoff was excellent at times, then would dribble into trouble for no reason. We already have one Camilo, no need for another. And then he obviously got tired, made a couple bad decisions and bad touches and was subbed. Pretty good for a first competitive match in over a year. (I think.)

Camilo was poor tonight. Showed flashes of what he can do, but no final ball.

Hassli, well, he deserved to be subbed.

Le Toux was brilliant. Game changer and all that. Did Rennie just tell him "Go on and win the game" ?

Mattocks was clearly out of sync with the other attackers, but you could see the drive and hunger for the ball. And just blasted his goal in, well taken.

Barbara showed why we've been waiting. Also, if that penalty had happened with a game on the line, he gets benched the next game.
