Path to the playoffs for the Impact : 49 or bust
Can the Impact finish the season with at least 49 points and make the MLS playoffs
Kudos to the Sounder at Heart for an excellent article on how the Sounders can make the MLS playoffs, especially after a disastrous first half of the season. The Montreal Impact is looking up and aiming to reach the peak of the MLS standings as the months of August and September are basically the final sprint in MLS.
The math behind the madness. Toronto FC made the 2015 MLS playoffs with 49 points at 6th and last playoff eligible position. Whereas Montreal finished 3rd with 51 points , met and beat Toronto FC in the knockout round to lose to the Columbus Crew in the Eastern Conference semi-final.
