MLS had record attendance this season, even if you remove Messi’s away games it would still have broken the record. I think only a couple of MLS teams saw a downturn in attendance this year. As I understand it, the Apple TV thing may have raised awareness of the league to a younger audience.
For certain markets yeah but most MLS games weren't on OTA like the Sounders. Was pretty similar to the NHL for a lot. Sounders have other factors too but I saw a recent survey and that was one of the main ones called out.
 
even if we go 10-0 to end the season we are not going to make the playoffs this season. That will get us to 86 points which would be 1 and 3 points more than the current 2 wild card teams.
Man .. we have a tough schedule ahead of us.

Oilers
Stars
Stars
Canucks
Sharks
Kings
Utah
Golden Knights
Blues
Kings

Maybe we win 3 out of those 10 games? There go our playoff dreams.
On the other side, we've got the 6th worst record in the league at present. Worst we can do is 3rd worst (NSH & PHL below us but close) and with that tough schedule we're unlikely to make up the 3-4 points to get to get higher in the standings.
 
Disco Dan gone. I feel no sense of loss as I never liked him being hired in the first place.

Botterill to GM and Francis fails his way upstairs. Well, I guess that's an option. I look at Botterill's time in Buffalo and it doesn't impress. Dahlin first overall would have been picked by anyone. High firsts for Cozens and Mittlestadt not overly impressive. Couldn't build the D they needed. Skinner signing was a complete disaster. Ultimately he was fired because he objected to the firing of a bunch of his scouts. You don't get to say no to Terry Pegula. idk, I guess you learn on the job, but at this point I'm not impressed.

I do wonder if they will leave the assistant coaches for the new coach to hire/fire. I hope they don't as that would be potentially awkward to place the new coach in a position of having to potentially fire the only woman coach in the league. They should clean house totally to avoid that.

Don't like Francis failing upwards. Just don't like it.

New coach? Pandolfo, Carle, Tocchet? Lots of possibilities.
