"You talked about it, or you wrote it. I didn't talk about a loser mentality. I said they accept not winning. That's way different. You make the headlines, it's very nice. It's not about the teams; it's more the people of Vancouver. They maybe accept that the Canucks don't do well sometimes, or the Whitecaps. That's what I'm mentioning."
"Who should be the second team in the city? We play in the highest league in our sport, and we are doing really well this season, so it should be the Whitecaps."
"You see, in football we chase the ball for ninety minutes, but in hockey, they do it on blades! It's madness, but beautiful madness. The Canucks look sharp this year, so quick in transition, strong defense, big goals. I'm excited for this season! If I wasn't playing football,..."
Thomas Muller denied saying the Vancouver Whitecaps have a 'loser mentality' and clarified he meant some people in Vancouver 'accept not winning.' The Whitecaps are second in the Western Conference, level on points with San Diego FC and holding a game in hand with a trip to Orlando City. A win in Florida would position them as favourites for the West's top seed before the regular-season finale against FC Dallas. The club won the Canadian Championship 4-2 over Vancouver FC but has not advanced beyond the first playoff round since 2017 and has never reached the Western Conference final. Muller urged elevating the club's profile to become the city's second team and praised the Canucks' pace and play.
