You will not be learning anything new if you are told that the Montreal Impact’s aspiration is to win the MLS Cup. That objective became very realistic last year for the following 3 reasons (there could be more) : Didier Drogba joining the club, a decent playoff run that saw them lose to the losing finalist (Columbus Crew) and the Portland Timbers winning the MLS Cup.
Those 3 factors or reasons fueled the flame of hope to make its own magical run during the MLS playoffs with the like of Drogba, Piatti and Ciman to lead the way.
