TSN1040's Corey Basso says with the back line both the Galaxy and Whitecaps will be fielding, Corey expects a fairly open game with chances on net. Corey says the key for the Caps is weathering the early storm from the Galaxy in their home opener.

TSN hockey insider and game analyst Ray Ferraro says the Canucks latest slide isn't on the coaching staff, but more on the players. Ray also feels that the Canucks roster isn't built to sustain tough stretches like the team is suffering through right now.

TSN Hockey Insider Bob McKenzie says for most fans, it's a "what have you done for me lately" mentality. Bob says for the Canucks, they're still in the thick of things playoffs-wise & drastic decisions don't need to be made until all 82 games of the season have played out.

Whitecaps head coach Marc Dos Santos says players should be relishing the opportunity to play in a hostile environment against LA & it should tell him a lot about his younger players as well. Marc says his team lacked intensity against Sporting KC, which was not what they were about in preseason.

TSN hockey insider and game analyst Ray Ferraro wonders if the Canucks can't re-sign Jacob Markstrom would they try to land another veteran free agent goalie this offseason? Ray goes on to ask if Markstrom is out, does Tyler Toffoli becomes the Canucks most important player to re-sign?
