THE FIRE WON ON THE ROAD! Take your conference standings and burn them to ash, because on Saturday Chicago was the best team in the league. I’ll fight you if you say otherwise.
There really is no clever or even worthy way of starting this recap. What Chicago did in Montreal simply leaves one speechless.
For more than two years, fans have waited for the Fire to win a game on the road. The legend of the streak grew and grew. As Chicago blundered its way to 36 straight road games without a victory, it found itself the laughing stock of the league and among some of the saddest runs of futility in all of American professional sports.
