Week Four Recap: Can I spell Unpredictable?
By travis | April 21st, 2008Another weekend, another string of results that shocked me. No offense to San Jose, but I didn't see them winning any games anytime soon, and to stick two goals on the supposedly resurgent Rapids was definitely impressive. Toronto got their second wi ...
