Ottawa Fury 3 Edmonton 2 final, win 4-2 aggregate, will now play Toronto FC inthe semi final, first game in Ottawa wednesday May 23, 2nd game in Toronto a week later. There should be at least 10,00 for this game.

Watched the second leg on TV - both teams played sloppy as hell, but it was sure fun to watch with lots of goals and wide open passing plays.

Dos Santos had a really nice one to cap it off in extra time at the end there.

Speaking of kudos to fan loyalty, there were at least a few thousand looked like who chose attending this game over watching the Oilers-Ducks game 7. :laugh:

If the Fury can get by Edmonton, the series with Toronto would be epic. I bet you'd see great crowds at TD Place for that game. Hopefully we'd get the first leg like last year against the Whitecaps; it would be pretty anticlimactic if we were already out of it for the home game.

Same night as a Sens game though-if the series goes that far.

Probably the easiest ticket to sell in the history of the Ottawa Fury and it gets scheduled on the same night as the Senators play in the Eastern Conference Final. Talk about bad luck. Given last night, there's a good bet that Game 6 will happen.

Amusing that Ottawa and Pittsburgh played each other in USL yesterday too. Ottawa lost the soccer, but won the hockey.

Has TFC released their 23 man roster for tonight's match yet? Looked around and haven't seen it. Curious to see who we are going to see at TDPlace. I see that both Montreal and Vancouver have released their lineups for their semi.

That is amazing. Too bad the game was against the Sens in the playoffs.
How many fans came out today?

With that third TFC goal, it looks like it's a repeat of last year. They did put up a good fight and gave the home crowd a memorable night last week.

I think they ran out of steam, it was the same 14 players who played the last 3 games in 8 days.

Ottawa Fury v Montreal Impact

This game is tomorrow and it's just been announced that former Fury captain and Canadian international Julian de Guzman and Fury assistant coach will come out of retirement and play in this game.

Can't believe I have to miss this one. :cry: Should be a rager with lot's of invading Montreal fans.

Hopefully the Fury can stay undefeated against MLS teams at TD Place.

Ottawa Fury pre-season training starts Jan 29, a new coach and GM was announced a couple of weeks ago, Nikola Popovic is the coach and Julian De Guzman is the general manager, 10 players from last season have resigned and today 2 new players were added both Canadian National team members Maxime Tissot and Nana Attakora , more players will be added soon. It looks like their will be very much a large Canadian content with the Fury as 6 of the signed players so far are Canadian
