The penalty that wasn’t will continue to haunt the Vancouver Whitecaps. But Corey Baird, the Real player at the heart of it all, isn’t bothered at all.
The term “gaslighting” is quite popular in today’s politically-charged atmosphere. Put simply, it’s if you say the opposite of what happened enough, people will start to question their own senses and believe you.“We won a ball in their half. Aaron got it and it was a two-v-one against their outside back. That’s a play I think everyone’s done a million times,” he said. “I was able to get a touch in front of their outside back and he brought me down.
Because of it, the Caps went down a goal, ultimately losing by that margin and dropping to 0-2 on the season. Caps coach Marc Dos Santos was even-keeled yet exasperated in his assessment of Saturday’s call, ultimately electing to keep his mouth — and wallet — clamped shut. Sure, there are still some system issues that need addressing — Nerwinski’s alleged transgression came after he tracked down an overlapping player that wasn’t his responsibility — but defensively the Caps dispossessed their opponents 17-8.
“He’s an unbelievable player,” said Rose. “You could tell from day one when he got in and he’s an absolute pleasure to play with. He always wants the ball in tight spots and obviously he can create something out of nothing. Very talented, and for me playing next to him, the more I can get him on the ball and get in good positions, will benefit the team.”RSL 0-0 VAN | #VWFC pic.twitter.
