Coach says Toronto FC has not forgotten humiliating playoff loss in Montreal
Toronto FC coach Greg Vanney played down his team’s painful playoff loss in Montreal every time the two teams crossed paths this season.
But as the rivals prepare to clash again in the post-season, Vanney admitted the humiliating 3-0 loss at Saputo Stadium in Toronto’s playoff debut has not been forgotten ahead of Game 1 of the Eastern Conference final Nov. 22.
“Absolutely. I think you’re not a competitive person if that doesn’t bother you,” he said after training Wednesday. “For sure it bothered me.”
Vanney said his point was that a pre-season or mid-season game with the Impact wouldn’t even the score.
