7 minutes of extra time! 7 freaking minutes? Did they have a power outage?

Anyway Montreal takes 3 full points on the road and sends the ECS home all sad faced. Well done Montreal!!! On the road and 3 points in the bag is a great way to start the season.

Not a lot of love for either side, but lots of respect for two former USL foes. That was a match far above recent MLS standards and was great to watch. I'm glad to see the true "clubs" of MLS setting the standard for professionalism, ambition, and support. Reminds me that a lot fans of a certain team around here that went on and on about how history and tradition are meaningless in MLS. Results have been proving otherwise of late, as predicted.

There are no true "clubs" in MLS, no matter how much any particular team's PR people like to spin it that way.

MLS itself isn't even a true league, in the purest sense of the word.

Is MLSlive a webservice? My problem is almost 90% of actual game times I'm working so I PVR the crap outta soccer. Not sure that would work for me unless they have games watchable after the fact too?

Yep, great deal. Yo can watch any game anytime you want. There are Blackouts for Nationally televised games (TSN), but there are ways around it.

Rudi......

As far as I understand it a league .... sets a schedule, and publishes the results. MLS does that. What else ?

Color me impressed with Montreal yesterday. For as long as Nesta and Ferrari stay healthy (no guarantees there, of course) they will be a tough team to break down.

Agreed - that's my biggest concern. Two games on turf at home are sure fire injury risks.

I was also wholly impressed with the game, but found that there were many needless giveaways that were incomprehensible late on.

Bernier was a mixed bag - very solid in some areas, and a few killer passes, but also several needless giveaways.

But turf games are always tougher. If this 11 stays healthy, they're in good shape. Otherwise,...

Montreal was great. I'm not sure why some predictions have them missing playoffs in the East this year.

it's not that Mtl sucks, but other Eastern Conference teams made improvements to rosters too. Too many question marks with Mtl roster to have them as playoff contenders
