It is both impressive and depressing that halfway through the 2017 season Toronto FC has already tied or passed their point total from six of their 10 full seasons of existence. The 35 points they have amassed would already be tied for the fifth-best season in club history.
That pace through the first 17 regular season games of 2017 also has the team on track for an MLS record of 70 points. That would be the most any team has managed since the league switched to a 34-game schedule for the 2011 season.
Keeping their current pace going will be a tall order for Toronto, who have only lost two games so far this season and sit top of the Supporters’ Shield standings.
