Voyageurs Cup! Toronto FC vs Montreal Impact: Will The Kids Be Alright?

  TFC v IMFC ~ 7:30pm ET ~ BMO Field ~ TSN4 Who needs MLS games, it’s Voyageurs Cup time!  No seriously, this is one of my favourite things every year – even if TFC haven’t won in awhile, there’s always the hope that this year they’ll take back the trophy and get back into CCL play.  Honestly there’s nothing like those games, I saw this every year but it’s a different vibe and the team...

TFC vs NYRB ~ 7pm ET ~ Red Bull Arena ~ SN360 Ah the road, where Toronto FC is a Viking.  Remember the halcyon days of the first eight games of the season?  Where everything seemed possible?  Now a four game home stand later, TFC has come away with only five points from a possible twelve, lost one of their top players to injury and underscored their desperate need for secondary scoring.  Bright side would be staying relatively...

It’s an appropriately undermanned podcast this week as both Tony and Mark miss this one with hamstring issues.
