Seattle takes on the 'Caps Oct. 3 @ 7:08 PT on TSN1/4 & TSN Radio 1040. For the first time in 5 games the 'Caps have had a full complement of days rest between games, they will need it following 5 games in 16 days and now taking on the champs. They just came out of a busy time and now enter another, arriving back home Mon., they got together on Wed. and will fly today to Seattle. Last week was another Cascadia Cup game and this one is no different as the last 11 out of 13 games have been with playoff teams as per the stadings of game day. Vancouver are but 3 points out of the playoff hunt and a win puts them there. Their conference is so close, each team has had a run of no less than 3 games without a win, the 'Caps won 3 of 4 in early Sept. and hope to get back to that. Though the starter in net is out injured, the 2 behind are more than qualifieid, ex-Sounder Bryan Meredith and long time Impact player Evan Bush total 18 years in the MLS between them. Bryan had 13 saves over the last 2 games. Seattle has been an offensive powerhouse of late with 3 or more goals over their last 6 games, they hit for 7 facing the 'Quakes, ouch. Cavallini & Montero finally have a start together and they may just link up again this game. A new defensive set is in now also with Arreaga & Andrade, they are working well together and hope to slow the offensive machine of the Sounders.
