The Montreal Impact’s second-round SuperDraft flyer on Paolo DelPiccolo looks to have paid off.

But, on Tuesday, it wasn’t the Thorns’ Canadian striker making the news — it was the team’s Canadian keeper. Karina LeBlanc was named the league’s Player of the Week.

For the second week in a row, a Vancouver Whitecap is MLS Player of the Week.

The ‘Caps haven’t had a clean sheet in MLS play since the first week of the season, and even giving up a single goal per game is a rarity.The ‘Caps haven’t had a clean sheet in MLS play since the first week of the season, and even giving up a single goal per game is a rarity.

The Impact has added another young Canadian to the roster.

This week, Houston Dynamo forward Will Bruin won the Player of the Week vote. He scored twice and added two assists in a midweek 4-0 win over D.C. United, but didn’t do much in a 1-0 loss at home Sunday to Sporting Kansas City. And that brings up an uncomfortable question: Does a “meh” game on Sunday weigh down what was a spectacular midweek effort?

With a goal and an assist in a 4-0 demolition of Chivas USA Saturday, Sporting Kansas City midfielder Graham Zusi did enough to earn the MLS Player of the Week nod.

Tim Cahill became just the latest in a long line of players who have broken the hearts of the fans at BMO Field with a late goal.

Canada took the lead before the five-minute mark, but couldn’t hang on in hostile territory.

For the second game in a row, a Canadian team faced adversity on Central American soil, And, unlike so many editions of Canadian national teams we’ve seen before, they rose to the occasion.
