Chicago dropped a two goal lead and allowed Columbus to escape from Bridgeview, Illinois with a single point following a 2-2 draw last week. That put a dent in their hopes for the league title - Supporters' Shield Trophy - awarded to the club with most points at the end of regular season.

Toronto enjoys an all-time winning record against Colorado. In the Reds' brief history, the high-flying burgundy clad men have had trouble with Toronto losing three times out of four. In this fixture last year an understaffed Toronto eked out a 1-0 win thanks to a Chad Barrett free kick that may have been the best goal the American striker/winger has ever scored. Similar magic may be necessary 5280 ft. above sea level on Saturday at Commerce City's Dick's Sporting Goods Park, where the Rapids enjoy a record of seven wins, three draws and two losses - among the best home records in the league - this season.
