Toronto 6, Columbus 3. It could happen again.
Hello there T, F and C fans, how are you feeling? Happy, maybe a bit confused after that whole playoff clinching thing? Not to worry, MLSE are here to bring you back to reality. Less than 48 hours they gave us before the playoff pricing and 2016 season ticket renewal pricing was dropped. Depending on where you sit, your increase could be over 40% (what’s that, that’s where my seats are, oh good.) though some areas are...
Never mind the playoffs, 2nd place! And beating a good team! With smart tactics no less!
