There was something about Saturdays 2-1 win over Real Salt Lake that felt more like a therapeutic breakthrough than a victory. Of course the three points against a largely first choice RSL team was monumental given the opportunity that presented itself when their chief playoff rivals surrendered a two-goal lead in Toronto, and lost their captain in the process. But when Pedro Morales was denied on a first half stoppage time penalty, the Whitecaps would have had 15 long minutes to reflect on the what if of that moment. Then 15 minutes later, they fell behind from a corner. At that point, the missed penalty and another glorious Morales chance created by Sebastian Fernandez, could have easily infected their young minds. Their recent frame of reference on losing would have included a terrific start in Portland erased by a succession of small mistakes. A week earlier in Dallas, Vancouver also had a tidy opening, but a fluke goal sucker punched them into game chasing mode. They eventually did pull even, only to again get undone by some simple errors. By MLS standards, the Whitecaps are a young side...not just in age, but in league games played. To say they are fragile is perfectly fair. The process of reversing that mentality has to start somewhere. Saturdays incredible pendulum swing of emotion between expansion cousins could be viewed as just that moment. Portland will be wondering how they allowed a Toronto team back into a game that they were in control of, while also erasing the horrific Will Johnson injury from their minds and then figuring out how to get on without their captain for the last four games. The plight of the Whitecaps skipper was entirely different on Saturday at BC Place. He started slowly, but had a terrific opportunity that he probably would have finished in April. At times he looked like a player running on fumes while being asked by his manager to be better. It was as if the two glorious first half misses pushed him on, rather than set him back. The best evidence that an early season, fresh Pedro Morales was back came in the form of a 60-yard fizzed turf trimming ball to Nic Mezquida that had the crowd buzzing. He wasnt alone on the bounce back front. Kekuta Mannehs role in the winning goal, and a rampaging run moments later, reminded everyone in the stadium of the young mans ability...one that seemed to vanish over the last few months. Whitecaps supporters themselves must have felt a huge weight off their shoulders too. It was just the Caps third-ever win in September after 17 attempts. If momentum is the most difficult thing for a team to manufacture, then the Whitecaps somehow, against all of Saturdays long odds managed to achieve it. Now they need to try and hold onto it for dear life. If they can, we may look back on Sep. 27 as a true turning point in the young clubs fortunes. Art Shell Jersey .

"That was the first thought that came into my head, flashbacks to what happened on that day," said Schneider, who was a teammate of Fischer in Detroit that season. "Hes a big man and he collapsed right on me. That was one of the scariest moments of my career. At first you had no idea what was happening but then he started convulsing, it was really scary for everyone." Its the type of situation that nobody ever anticipates, even less so amongst a group of highly conditioned athletes in peak physical condition. "It was shocking particularly because Fischer was just an incredible athlete and in amazing shape, you dont expect it," said Schneider. "Last night was another very scary incident; I got texts as soon as it happened." Fischer was stabilized that day by the heroic work of Dr. Tony Collucci who was on the scene in seconds. His proximity to the bench played a big part in contributing to a positive result. As a result, the NHL requires that doctors have immediate access to the players bench to act in the case of such events transpiring. That scenario again played a role in helping to stabilize Peverley on Monday night as doctors were on the scene in seconds, able to treat the Stars forward for what team physician Gil Salazar termed a cardiac event. "Everything played out and transpired exactly as you would draw it up and luckily we had a fortunate result," said NHLL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly.dddddddddddd "The leagues done a great job over the years to make sure every safety net is there and available to the guys," added Schneider. "In the two instances that Ive known, the doctors have literally saved the players lives." The news of Peverleys collapse quickly reached the leagues general managers who are gathered in Boca Raton, Florida for meetings this week. "Obviously it was a scary situation," said Daly. "We were all at a general managers dinner and we were alerted immediately to the events in Dallas. A number of us left the room and were being updated on a step by step basis to what was happening." Once it became clear what had transpired, Daly explained that the decision to postpone the game came at the urging of both the Dallas Stars and their opponents, the Columbus Blue Jackets. Having gone through a similar situation himself, Schneider agreed the right decision was made. "As a player being so close to your teammates, its too taxing, its too difficult to go back and I would think youd be playing half-heartedly in a situation like that," he said. Daly explained the NHL has identified a date to reschedule the game and intend to announce it later in the week. The Blue Jackets will be allowed to maintain their 1-0 lead that they had built through the first 6:23 of the game though a fresh sixty minutes will be played when the game is made up. The NHL followed the same procedure when the Red Wings and Predators game was completed in 2006 after Fischers incident, allowing Nashville to maintain their 1-0 lead. The Predators ultimately went on to win 3-2. ' ' '
