Three games left in the regular season. The Columbus Crew hope there’s more after that. The team begins the weekend six points out of the last playoff spot, currently held by New England.
The Crew need to win today in Vancouver against the Whitecaps to keep any realistic hope for a post season spot alive. They can be eliminated if they lose and the Revolution win or tie, Montreal wins, or both Chicago and Orlando win. A tie and a Revs win also bounce the Crew from the playoff race. Three points and Columbus lives to fight another week.
