D.C. United doesn’t have a game this weekend, which has to feel like a small mercy at this point. The Black-and-Red need this time on the training ground to get their act together, and for important players like Russell Canouse to get healthy and make a return to the lineup. Taking off this weekend to accommodate Toronto FC’s CONCACAF Champions League needs might actually be a blessing in disguise; United did not really need a road game against the strongest team in MLS right now.
That leaves us with a void to fill, though.
