Now comes perhaps the ultimate test — an Eastern conference final against Columbus Crew SC with stars strikers Jozy Altidore and Sebastian Giovinco suspended for Game 1. Toronto routed Columbus 5-0 at BMO Field on May 26 without Altidore (suspended) and Giovinco (injured). Toronto's eight goals against Columbus this season came from Ricketts (two), Vazquez (two), Altidore, Justin Morrow, Jonathan Osorio and Jordan Hamilton. Altidore (16 goals) and Giovinco (15) accounted for 42 per cent of Toronto's league-leading 74 goals this season. Norwegian international Ola Kamara led Columbus in scoring with 18 goals while American-born Iraq international Justin Meram added seven.
