Montreal Impact hurried D.C. United out of the 2016 MLS playoffs with an impressive 4-2 win on the road that simultaneously affirmed the unpredictable nature of both the post-season and this season's IMFC.
Montreal has been stumbling all year in the league: winning some, losing some, and never quite doing enough of either to be categorically very good or very bad. L'Impact flopped over the regular-season finish line with a 3-0 loss to New England Revolution, having taken seven points from its three preceding games to assure itself a place in the playoffs.
