LA Kings defeat Vancouver Canucks 8-3. Kings captain Dustin Brown scores a hat trick and an assist to lead the Kings to their first victory over Vancouver in six games. More on this game in my complete recap later.
LAst Night's Action: Kings Rout Canucks
Stakes Raised for Final SuperClásico
Two wins and two draws. That was the net result of this year's first weekend of MLS playoff action. Oddly enough, the victories were registered by the two lowest seeded teams vying for MLS Cup 2009. Real Salt Lake defeated the Columbus Crew by a score of 1 - 0 on Saturday night and the New England Revolution pulled out a 2 - 1 victory over the Chicago Fire on Sunday afternoon, just ahead of the Chivas USA - Galaxy clash at the Home Depot Center which ended in a 2 - 2 draw.
Chivas USA Returns to MLS Action in SuperClásico
Chivas USA returns to MLS action tonight after a 2 week break during which time it participated in the SuperLiga U.S. Open Cup tournaments. The red-and-whites will have little time to reacquaint themselves upon their return, jumping into the deep end from the get-go to host the second leg of the Honda SuperClásico against in-stadium rivals Los Angeles Galaxy.
