Toronto FC vs Montreal Impact: TFC Year 9 – The Playoff Edition
Playoffs. Toronto FC are in the playoffs. Seriously. No really, it’s happening. When? Tonight in Montreal (7pm, Stade Saputo, TSN) our Reds will play their first ever playoff game. It’s exciting and bewildering (how did we get here) and just a little hard to believe. Even though I know it’s happening, until the game kicks off tonight I won’t quite believe it.

Although it started out rough with the game against NYCFC, they rebounded nicely against the Rapids last weekend and now the sad sack Fire are in town (plus Philly coming up...
Why I Won’t Be At The Toronto FC vs Colorado Rapids Match
*Update: I wrote this piece last year over at Waking The Red and my views and my stance regarding this game remain the same. As my thoughts on this will not change, consider this to be an annual post as it is unlikely that MLSE and Toronto FC will stop having this focussed event.
