Do not know anything about them, does CS Saint-Laurent have any chance to knock off HFX, are they a decent team? Curious as TFC supporter if they did, where would they host the Reds, is their home field suitable ?

[Mihairokov]

Yes, St-Laurent can beat HFX.
Yes, they are pretty decent!

I imagine they would try to host at their home venue although i'm not sure on logistics. I have heard they have had some, erm, rowdy crowds...

st laurent has former cpl players mouhamadou kane and obeng tabi

[narduch]

They beat Forge in a pre season friendly

Tony Marinaro hosts a CF Montreal podcast called the Sick Podcast.  It alternates between English and French.  The one earlier this week had an interview with Rocco Placentino (former Impact & CNMT player) who is the Sporting Director at CS St-Laurent.  Would highly recommend a watch (starts halfway in).

That’s a pretty weak call.  

[Big_M]

weak spot goulet fouls lapare and nimick converts the pk...1-0 29'

[Big_M]

goulet gives it away and telfer almost makes 2-0

[K Edgar]

another pen

[Big_M]

fillion as usual says im equally to it and gives a penalty

[dyslexic nam]

At least it is equalizing? 

[Big_M]

former cpler kane who never scored one for a cpl team makes it 1-1 32'

[K Edgar]

Saint-Laurent impressing

[dyslexic nam]

HFX could have 3 yellows already if the ref was carding the times they have intentionally stopped an attack by grappling the guy.  He did it once but if they keep up the grabbing they should get another one soon.   

[Cadeau]

I hope St Laurent wins after Rovers being so close last night. 

[Cadeau]

St-Laurent got some skills

More than this ref.  

[Big_M]

1-1 at the break...boughanmi is very good...maybe the best player on the pitch in the first half

[Big_M]

62' aristilde in toualy out and ferrin in ferrazzo out

[K Edgar]

2-1 what is Fillion complaining about?
