Intrinsically Canadian Power Rankings: MLS Week 13/NASL Week 10/USL Week 10

Jonathan Osorio

So far this season, Toronto FC looks to have shaken the “finalists’ curse” that has haunted so many MLS Cup runners-up in the past. The team is well on top of the Eastern Conference, and Canadians Jonathan Osorio and Jordan Hamilton both scored in Friday’s 5-0 drubbing of the Columbus Crew.

(Some of us still remember a time when TFC couldn’t get a result against the Crew. Talk about exorcising your demons.)

The rule of thumb has been that the team that loses MLS Cup struggles the next season or, at best, flames out early in the playoffs. But the Reds have been going strong.

Here are this week’s rankings of Canadians by minutes played in MLS, NASL and USL:
