- THE BUZZ:
Who'd have guessed the Vancouver Whitecaps would carry a 9-9-9 record to Montreal for a meeting with the Impact on the ninth day of the ninth month of 2009? That's the scenario for the teams' 4:45 p.m. kickoff today at Saputo Stadium.
- UNBEATENS:
The 11-10-6, fifth-place Impact is on a roll with four wins and a tie in the last five games. The seventh-place Whitecaps are unbeaten in seven, but that includes just two wins. Both teams have three games remaining.
- RUBBER MATCH:
The Caps won in both Canadian Championship matches, but Montreal registered wins when the teams played twice in USL action. The Impact leads 25-13-6 all-time.
- NEXT:
The Caps return home to mess with Texans again. The Austin Aztex return to Swangard Stadium Sunday for a 4 p.m. kickoff.
