After what seems like ages, the MLS playoffs are back tonight. The first leg of both conference finals will take place on...Tuesday? Wait, what? Odd wrinkles of scheduling having to do with stadium availability and national TV demands have left us with crucial playoff games coming on a strange night. It wouldn’t be so bad if MLS didn’t have to take a break due to the international window, but them’s the breaks. MLS fans by now should have learned to embrace the quirks.
First up tonight is the Montreal Impact and a gigantic crowd hosting Toronto FC at the Big O.
