VMP 2016 Final Countdown #21: Ashtone Morgan
Kristin: 16 – The nasty leftback that always seems to get left back. Huge fan, think his conversion to winger can’t come soon enough. I’ve been a fan of Ashtone Morgan since his academy days and was thrilled when he joined the first team back in 2011. In the early years he saw a fair amount of time and was the de facto leftback for TFC; and each year I kept hoping that this time it’d be his breakout year. He...
VMP 2016 Final Countdown #23: Mark Bloom
Kristin: 23 – Poor, I mean middle class Mark Bloom. Such a nice boy, but hard to remember anything else about him. Happy to see him going home to Atlanta. Oh Mark Bloom, your time at Toronto FC just never really clicked did it?

Toronto FC vs Montreal Impact: Eastern Conference Final Leg 2 – Aaaahhhhhh!!!
Toronto FC vs Montreal Impact ~ 7pm ET ~ BMO Field ~ TSN Anxiety level: High That’s it really – the excitement, the nerves, the ANXIETY! But at the same time I’m strangely relaxed – tonight’s game (historic, one of the games we’ve longed for the past 10 seasons, etc) is much more than what I’d both expected and asked from Toronto FC this year – so while I’m stressed...
