Quotes out of the Fire Camp after the 2-3 Loss @ Portland
August 15, 2019
by Sean McCaffery

The Fire have not been hot away from home but at least at this game there was smoke.

HC Paunovic and his thoughts. " We didn't start well. We had a poor start. But, after conceding two goals, I think the reaction was appropriate. We never crumbled, we fought until the end. Playing one man down, it's always a big test. We scored two goals wth one man down for most of the time playing like that. Obviously we are not happy with the result. I think we are on a good path. I think locker room is strong and believes in our possibliities to reach the playoffs."

A loss this weekend would hurt a lot, as not only would it not have the home team get any points but it would allow the surging Revs to catch them rather than have a full 6 points between them from a victory. This conference game will begin with coverages on MSG, MSG Go & New York Red Bulls Radio on  TuneIn. This is their 74th meet, wow, and the Revs are on top 31-27-15, RBNY is now on a 9-0-1 tear looking to bring the wins into double digits and enhance their playoff standing.

August 1, 2019
by Sean McCaffery

All she did was win-win-win as her 102-7-18 record reflects, but she was one of the more embattled coaches in the history of the program. Yes she did tinker with the lineups a lot but in the end the results speak for themselves. In just over 5 years she has the most games coached for the best team on the planet, following the Victory Tour, she will no longer be at the helm but will still be involved. She is not up for the new GM position that is being created, that selection is due now, but Ellis will now be an Ambassador for the program.
