The smoke has cleared on the fate of our beloved Vancouver Whitecaps vis-a-vis the Canadian Championship, but there is was still a lot to play for a BC Place tonight. The Whitecaps came into their game against the Montreal Impact just 4 points out of the final playoff spot in the West, while Montreal had a clear path to winning the aforementioned Canadian Championship with two wins, and a combined victory margin of 4 goals.
These stakes could be felt at the start of the game, as the action could best be described as nervy.
