BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. – For the Chicago Fire, Wednesday’s home playoff game is the culmination, or at least the latest high point, of a stunning turnaround season.

Dax McCarty, one of the new additions most responsible for that turnaround, couldn’t care less that it’s his old club, the New York Red Bulls – the one he captained and the one that unceremoniously traded him away before this season – coming to town to kick off the Audi 2017 MLS Cup Playoffs (8:30 pm ET | FS1, UniMás w/ SAP; TSN, TVA Sports).

“It’s just another game, honestly,” McCarty said on Tuesday.
