    Default Voyageur's Cup Semi Final 1st Leg - Wednesday May 6 7:30 pm

    For those seeking to ignore the game in Montreal on one Wednesday, we present for you the game in Montreal next Wednesday.

    A week tonight people.


    Not sure if this will be on Sportsnet somewhere or not. Heck, it may not be streamed.


    ********

    Hopefully we see all the B team with maybe Caldwell or Bloom coming back from injury. I want to win this but we gotta preserve energy for the first home game.

    It will be on Sportsnet, it is important for the Reds to take this seriously and pursue the win. To have success and have a chance at what the Impact have been experiencing the last few weeks and especially tonight. I am looking forward to next Wednesday as I will be at Saputo for it.

    Remember The Man, The Legend, The Goal 5-12-07 and All That #9 Left On The Pitch, Thanks For The Memories !!!

    Regardless of what happens tonight, the fact that Montreal made it so far should fire up our boys. I see no reason why we shouldn't go the distance.

    I really don't like doing this because nobody really knows for certain what would have unfolded. But just imagine what our side could have accomplished if they had beaten Montreal in the CCL finals last year. Might Toronto FC be hosting the final leg of the CONCACAF Champions League final at BMO Field with a chance of winning it all?
    TORONTO FC, 2017 MLS CHAMPIONS!!! (Still the greatest in league history!)

    After Montreal's run in the CCL, it might be difficult for their guys to get fired up for this one.

    I expect to see a lot of bench players from both sides. Just keep Oduro off the score sheet please.

    They'll have a couple more games than everyone else down the stretch, should the qualify for the dance they may be a bit more tired than most.

    Lets do them a favour and knock 2 games off their season.

    So if we beat the Impact by a better-than-2+ goal differential, does that mean we're better than one of the best teams in Mexico?

    I'm going to the game, I won't be arriving until Wednesday afternoon so I won't be going to McLeans.

    I have a room in the Plateau area so I'll be going to a place nearby before the game(it's a short downhill stumble to the Metro)...

    That's a no for Babouli then. Want to see Hamilton and Roberts get minutes though.

    I really do not get this , as the Reds have played academy players in the Canadian Champion/Champions League on two occasions in the past. Ashtone who played his 100th game for the Reds yesterday made his TFC debut as one of them.

    I hope they start all bench players. The league needs to be our focus. We have won the Canadian Championship many times but have never made the playoffs in MLS. Have to focus on achieving that goal above all else. Bench players can be really hungry anyways so it's not even necessarily a bad thing to play a lot of them.

    Academy players would be considered as being part of the same team I guess. Players on a USL contract are really on a different team entirely, so it makes sense.

    I agree, bench players may want to win this where as regular players may hold back and pace them selfs. It's perfect for the signed MLS players who are playing USL to take part in

    With the Habs playing the same night it will be an empty stadium except for the TFC supporters.

    Play the starters. The CCL is important and this is our only method of qualifying.

    Perfect. I'll send an e-mail to their ticketing office and sort mine out.

    Since it doesn't appear that we are going to play many 1st team players (which is very frustrating to me), I hope we send out as canadian of a lineup as possible:

    Roberts
    Delgado - Zavaleta - Hagglund - Morgan
    Manella - Chapman
    Findley - Osorio - Lovitz
    Hamilton

    I would give Hagglund and Morgan the night off. Both need it mentally.


    I expect to see all of Creavalle, Zavaleta, Roberts, Osorio, Findley, Delgado, Chapman, Warner, Lovitz - just don't know how it fits. Giovinco and Bradley and Altidore shouldn't even travel.
