I conceived of this article idea about a year and a half ago. I was planning to save it for Cavallini’s eventual departure but now seems as good a time as any. Lucas Cavallini’s head stomp on Alex Muyl may very well have damned the Whitecaps’ playoff hopes for the 2022 season so it seems like a good time to reflect on his three years in Vancouver. I think El Tanque’s time with the Whitecaps is important to examine. In a lot of ways, I feel he is emblematic of why the Whitecaps are the way they are and there are a lot of important lessons to be learned from it.
