Yes it was.
We have the remaining of the winter as warmth to console ourselves from this ignominy.
Damn I`m posting a lot tonight.
This is the club's 5th year in the MLS. 3 playoffs qualifications, 1 eastern conference final, 1 CONCACAF final. As much as today's loss hurts, I can't feel that let down by the organization.
The expansion fee was spread over a 5 year period and despite this, Saputo invested in a top of the line training facility, the academy and more importantly, a world class player in Drogba. This is not the cheap owner that many called him out to be as recently as 2 years ago.
With the expansion fees finally out of the way and the training facilities built, I expect major investments on player acquisitions in the short term. Add the potential of young players pitching in (Ballou, Crépeau, Choinière...), this is a team with a bright future that I am proud to be cheering for.
Consider my season tickets renewed. Allez Montréal!

I will never forget Cameron Porter's last minute goal against Pachuca. Most emotions at a sports event in my entire life.
I feel like we will make many more memories with this Impact team.
This kid is our future. We should be gathering behind him as soon as next season!

No, it's Kim Deal who used to be the Pixies' badass bass player.
I'm listening to her right now.
She sounds and look the same.
But I like her better, because she is soothing.
Edit: Wow, it's really good!

I watched that one on TV and literally drop on the floor laughing. I was so happy. All the other stuff, I was there live.
Cabrera was brutal , Camara Ciman and Bush had meh games...
This one was on our D ... They have to get bigger on the back end , always conceding goals on set plays is ****ing annoying!!!
And why there wasn't someone on the post on that Altidore goal , like wtf Bielo?!!!

I love you guys and gals.
Still super sad though (even the Pens' come-back in the third is saving my evening).

Pixies? Yeah, they're awesome. Make sure you stick with their old stuff, though.

He should be DD's replacement.
The D line is sleeping way too much. Camara has been overplayed. Ciman needs a Van Damme.

and Oduro, I've been defending him left and right from last year. I knew he was gonna have a good season but I didn't expect him to be such an X factor btw. He's already 22 games away from 100 games with us. Quite incredible
seemed like he got traded from Toronto yesterday...Giving the Camara a starting spot, not so sure anymore. He was solid most of the season but he isn't a big game player.
They'll have a few days to decide on who to exercise options for next year. Shipp and Venegas have great values, it'd be a bit dumb to just let them go for free even tho I doubt either will come back.
GONE : Mallace, JGL(certain he'll stay in France), Bekker, Kronberg, Drogba
We could lose Bernardello/Donadel (expansion draft)
I protect : Bush, Ciman, Piatti, Oduro, Romero, Cabrera, Toia, Oyongo, Camara, Shipp, Venegas
that leaves Bernier, Bernardello, Donadel, Drogba, Lefevre, Bekker, Mallace and Kronberg exposed. Dunno if we have to protect Mancosu

He'd be a great addition to our group of forwards. A player that can actually make good headers.
Nacho, Mancosu, Oduro, Kamara and Ballou. Pretty darn good.
Put in Nacho with Donadel, Hernan and the new comer Dzemaili. Sign me a good central Defender or full back.
Bush and Crepeau please as back up.
