A deeply dull, frustrating 0-0 draw with the Colorado Rapids; one of the most boring, nerdy matches we've ever seen at BMO. No injuries, the return of Aaron Long and Stephen Eustáquio, and Hugo Lloris continuing his stint as a human brick wall are all we'd like to remember from this one. The schedule has pounded us and we played like it. Unfortunately we've got a lot of games, and big games, looking right at us in the coming days and weeks. The season rollercoaster has officially put us on the first big turn heading into Minnesota, then the CONCACAF Champions Cup Semis. Hold on tight!
