This has been a roller coaster of a season for Montreal Impact. At the end of April they had six points from eight matches, and they went 1-4-0 in May.
But the Eastern Conference is a forgiving, if volatile, beast. Beginning in June, the Impact reeled off six wins in eight and rocketed up the standings and into the playoff picture. But the Canadians averaged one point per match over their next six and fell back to the pack as the Union and DC United scampered up the table. A huge 3-0 victory over New York Red Bull in their last match now has the Impact in sixth place, three points ahead of New England Revolution and five above DC.
