Lots of soccer very early and very fast. :hurray:

Early Montreal trip may be in order.

Wow, that's going to be short rest with CCL right after.

[whositwhatnow]

man again its going to feel like the season never ended.

[KGH]

Well thats a bit of shitty news. We'll have the CCL anywhere from 2-4 days earlier. Nice of the league to do some scheduling favours...

CCL Round of 16 - Second leg - Feb 27-March 1
Home opener - March 3
CCL Quarters - First leg - March 6-8

If TFC play Tigres in the Quarters, I think we will host the first leg, so TFC could be playing three games at BMO in one week: Colorado, Columbus, and Tigres.

Scheduling headaches? It's too sooooooooonnnnn...

St. Paddy's Day? I wouldn't be surprised if they give us free tickets to come down like they had years ago (5 years?).

With it being at the Big O tickets will be plentiful. Can’t really see any issues getting them. With Montreal coming off a lacklustre season wonder how they can draw? Plus it’s ...

ST. PATRICK’S DAY !!!

Probably a good idea to buy one of those TFC MLS Cup Champion toques

Yeah, possibly three home games in the first week in March. Best get those hand warmers ready! (Plus, who's really going to care about Columbus if we get to play Tigres the next Wednesday?)

Edited to add:

I mean, really, our two rivals (one contrived, one organic) mixed in with CCL and what may be the best team we'll face all year (assuming it's the Tigres) and, I hate to say it, but I'm throwing 2nd team out against Columbus and Montreal. Helluva way to start the defense of the Shield.
