“I had two big chances where I should’ve scored," admitted Le Toux, after the 2-0-2 Whitecaps held off the 0-3-1 Union’s second half surge to salvage a valuable point on the road. “I’m very disappointed in myself, because my team needed me.

This was an ugly tearjerker of a game, with the ball stuck in midfield, with both teams cancelling each other out.

The Whitecaps announced Tuesday that the 2012 second-overall SuperDraft pick will be out indefinitely thanks to injuries suffered Sunday in an, ahem, cooking accident.

It was an ugly game that no one will want to keep on his or her PVR. But, there will be nights like this, when the opponent plays a tight, compact midfield that’s designed more to disrupt than create.

On Friday, the NASL expansion side announced that it had signed ex-Whitecaps Blake Wagner and Wes Knight. Wagner and Knight will join two other former Whitecaps, Kevin Harmse and Greg Janicki — who were the first two signings the Scorpions ever made.

But the team’s staff is planning to place flyers and posters around Vancouver’s downtown core, promoting FC Edmonton and taking some jabs at the Whitecaps.

After Saturday's 2-0 MLS-opening loss to the Vancouver Whitecaps at B.C. Place, Montreal coach Jesse Marsch declared that one game does not a season make.

But, a cynic would question the “all-Canadian” nature of the Impact-Whitecaps match. After all, between the starting lineups of both teams, there was only one player who would be eligible for a Canada call-up; Impact midfielder Patrice Bernier.

It took just three minutes and seven seconds for the Renniessance to officially take hold in Vancouver.

Perhaps as a gesture to the members of the Montreal media, Sebastien Le Toux, Alain Rochat and Eric Hassli were made available.
