South Barstool Report – Montreal v Toronto
Decision Day. I appreciate the hype, but this feels like going to a chain restaurant, and being told to get excited about the appetizers. Sorry, I don’t care if you’re branding it Zesty Jally Bites, it’s still going to be a jalapeno popper. To make it clear, play-offs are the main course, this is just…

South Stand Report : Toronto v Chicago
Umbrella, poncho, back up poncho, wellies, goggles, water wings, I think I’m ready. It’s supposed to be gorgeous out there today, sunny, warm enough, and playing a weak Chicago side. Toronto is in the midst of rather the homestand and started off right with the defeat of buttery Sweden, erm, Colorado, 3-1 in the midst…
