Quietly, the Impact is gaining steam. Two wins in three games and just one goal allowed in three home games show the team’s progression after a difficult stretch. The Bleu-blanc-noir is now just four points away from a playoff spot: any hope of the team participating in the fall tournament is growing.
Except nothing is done yet. With 18 games still left on the MLS calendar, the Bleu-blanc-noir has its work cut out for it and will have to start collecting wins, while avoiding conceding any points to those in pursuit of sixth place. Naturally, their chances of qualifying will substantially increase if the Montreal squad can come away with three points in their return game against Orlando City SC on Saturday, June 23, at 7:30pm in Florida (TVA Sports, 98,5fm, TSN Radio 690).
