New York City FC is riding the high of a late-season unbeaten streak, and Episode 6 of the Hudson River Blue Podcast looks back fondly at the team's two recent victories over the New York Red Bulls and FC Cincinnati.
There's ample time spent savoring that 5-1 exclamation point of an away win in the Hudson River Derby, with hosts John Baney and Mark Radigan dedicating lots of talk to the two local New York City products, Tayvon Gray and Justin Haak, who played key roles in the emphatic win over the rival Red Bulls.
Episode 6 also gets into the momentum that's now building with NYCFC's second straight win, a 3-2 triumph over FC Cincinnati. John and Mark wonder: Is the team hitting its stride just as the MLS regular season draws to a conclusion? Has the team really and truly turned a corner, poised to go on a deep run in the MLS Cup Playoffs?
Things wrap up this week with a look ahead to the weekend's meeting with Nashville SC at Red Bull Arena, a match that might have major ramifications for the race for home-field advantage and Fourth Place in the Eastern Conference table. Get ready to start closely monitoring those final two Orlando City SC matches, people.
