Of course the Blue,White and Black had a few favorable results in the last couple of years, especially in the Amway Canadian Championship over the last two seasons, but a victory at BMO Field is still a myth, a tall tale for now.
After a rocky start of the season in Major League Soccer and a big distraction called Concacaf Champions League out of the way, Montreal has been able to focus solely on the task at hand, climbing the Eastern Conference table.
Fifteen points out of possible twenty-one, 4th in the East, 3rd best PPG/Avg in the East, the Impact could overtake their rival in the standings with that possible first ever win at BMO, Tor 19 points MTL 17 points.
With players like Toia and Oduro finally back to 100%, IMFC can also count on the very effective play as of late of Maxim Tissot, which has been selected in Canada's 23 Man Roster for the Gold Cup. With his playing minutes continuessly increasing, his confidence and poise on the ball is increasing as well. He is performing at a level rarely seen out of a Montreal Academy product and a case could be made to anoint him already, best IMFC Academy product ever!
So with all the optimism surrounding the club right now and the St-Jean Baptiste on top of it, everything is in place for a true "FEU DE LA ST-JEAN" AT BMO Field , 8pm Eastern Time tonight.
