Supporters Shield Race

[Still Kicking]

So if 16 points is what it takes to clinch the SS, it will take a 5 game winning streak prior to meeting Montreal the second time in Toronto in order for that game to be possibly the one for the Shield?
Would two losses or two ties in the next 6 games (plus NYCFC going on a streak of wins) mean that TFC will travel to Atlanta needing points?
Don't want to jinx anything, but the perfect end to the season imho will be lifting the shield after beating Montreal and travelling to Atlanta with a chance to rest players and play the bench.....

16 points is a combination of us gaining, and NYCFC losing, so it could come much sooner than the Montreal game (or not, don't want to get ahead of things).

A 2 point/game pace is considered pretty exceptional in MLS - if NYCFC can keep that pace for the last 8 games they have that still means they're dropping 8 points over the remainder of the season. I'd love to see us set before that last Montreal game
