    I am not sure why you would share this?

    Sad!

    Wonder if Ouimette is worth a shot.

    I'm sorry to say but no. Not if the intention is first team. I think he has it in him but after the past couple seasons he's had I'd rather watch him improve elsewhere.

    It's taken me until tonight to even dare read the boards. Crushing. Well done boys, great season, Montreal so so sweet. But. I never thought they would lose, ever, until they did. And it was like, WTF???

    as for the debates, the two legged format including away goals produced incredibly exciting soccer. Keep that.

    For me, bring Ricketts on at half time. We are the home team, we gotta score. And keep Gio on for the penalties, even if hurt.

    what a season! But so TFC to have our former player be the MVP. Sheesh.

    .
    NYCFC might not say the same. lol.

    I prefer the one game final. The success of a two-legged format at being exciting depends heavily on the quality of the competition and the outcome of game 1. At least you can go into the one game final knowing it's going to begin and end there.

    “Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.

    I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’

    And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”

    Good video, kind of hard to watch at the end. Can;t believe it was less than a week and a half ago.

    Good video. We should remember the positives of the season.

    We had shots on net, held steady in the D, and Giovinco won us plenty of PKs. That was just the season.

    We beat Montreal by scoring some road goals and then made it to the final.

    A couple of atmosphere take aways from the playoff run:

    Both the East and the West stands found their own voices. I heard chants start from both sides and take off around the stadium. Yes, the simple ones but still...that dynamic can only be good for crowd dynamics.

    I also think the sections following the south's lead moved farther north past 221 into 222 and beyond.

    Those two last games were epic in terms of the affect on supporter psyche - going to be interesting to see how that changed how the non south involves itself now. Not that the whole stadium is going to spend the season standing but we might have seen the tipping point of stadium involvement reached.

    Eh I doubt it

    No different than when the Jays/Raps go on their playoff runs. Everyone in the crowd gets all hyped because PLAYOFFS and then the crowds go right back to normal during the regular season

    The difference being the majority of us in the stands for the Montreal game were actual season seat holders - there are 18K+ of us going up to 20K next year we've been told. We'll see as I said but there was something different in the air all season, and it wasn't just the new roof/canopy/umbrella.

    For me the single game final has to be played at a neutral ground to have sporting integrity. A home and away would be fine for me - but I get the spectacle of a Cup Final. Until we have that the panacea in this league is the Supporters Shield. Dallas won the league and were the best team overall. MLS got real lucky with that final a week later and there was 12"+ of snow.

    Nope neutral site never again. Boring and no one cares. It's great the way it is. Only possible change would be 2 games.

    Makes the regular season even more important and not just about sqeaking into playoffs.
