VANCOUVER - After a short break during the group stages of the World Cup, the Major League Soccer season gets back underway on Wednesday night with an all-Canadian clash at BC Place as Vancouver Whitecaps host Montreal Impact (live on TSN and TSN 690 at 9:30pm et/6:30pm pt). The Whitecaps will look to pick up where they left off and cement a place in the Western Conference playoff places, while Montreal will be hoping for a much different story after an extremely disappointing start to the MLS season. Winning the Canadian Championship was the bright spot so far this year for an Impact team that sits bottom of the Eastern Conference. The Form: The Whitecaps enter the match unbeaten in their last seven matches (Won 3, Tied 4) while the Impact have won just twice all season and have only picked up two points from their previous six matches on the road. Vancouver needed a late penalty from Pedro Morales to rescue a point at Philadelphia in their last match, despite leading the game 2-0 at PPL Park. The Whitecaps have been having no trouble scoring goals, but will need to tighten up defensively if they are to build on their excellent start to the year. The Caps havent lost in MLS since April 12 when they were beaten 1-0 by LA Galaxy in California. Vancouver are unbeaten against Eastern Conference opposition so far this season. After beating Toronto FC to be crowned Canadian champions, and winning at home to high flying New England, Montreals revival came to a crashing halt with a 4-2 loss at home to DC United two weeks ago. Things have improved for the Impact since they started the season by taking just three points from a possible 21 through their first seven matches, but they will need to be consistently strong between now and the end of the year if they are to have any chance of getting into the playoff race. The Impact are currently eight points outside the playoff places. With only 13 goals in 13 matches, the Impact are the lowest scoring team in MLS, but the signing of Jack McInerney has proved to be an excellent addition. The Big Question: Will Montreals defence be able to cope with Vancouvers speedsters? The Whitecaps have caused plenty of problems for their opponents this year with lots of attacking options, and Chilean midfielder Pedro Morales proving to be the perfect set-up man. Striker Erik Hurtado has been leading the way in recent games with five goals in his last five matches in all competitions. Hurtado has shown the ability to cause defenders all kinds of problems with his strength and speed, and the Whitecaps can also call upon the pace of Kekuta Manneh and Darren Mattocks. In their last match before the break, Montreal defended poorly and conceded four goals at home to DC United, however, in their previous game, they managed to keep a clean sheet against a strong New England team. If the Impact defence isnt switched on from minute one, the Whitecaps young guns could take advantage. Montreal coach Frank Klopas has the chance to make changes in defence if he chooses, with the recent additions of Futty Danso from Portland, and former Sporting KC man Mechack Jerome. The Lineup: There are a few decisions for Whitecaps coach Carl Robinson to make with regards to his starting lineup. Captain Jay DeMerit came off injured in the tie at Philadelphia and is sidelined for six weeks. Robinson will choose from Andy OBrien, Carlyle Mitchell, Johnny Leveron and Christian Dean to fill the two central defensive places. At the other end of the pitch, it is possible the Caps could start with Mattocks and Manneh supporting Hurtado. Robinson has said he would love to see the three players start together at some stage and it is possible that this could be the occasion to try it. If not, one of the Whitecaps two Uruguayans, Sebastien Fernandez or Nicolas Mezquida, could get the start. With Marco Di Vaio and Justin Mapp expected to miss the match through injury, the Impact will be relying on McInerney and Andres Romero to provide a goal scoring edge. Both players have been in good form of late. McInerney has four goals in eight MLS appearances since joining the Impact from Philadelphia, and Romero had scored in his last three MLS matches. The most interesting decision for Montreal will be who Klopas decides to play in defence, and whether or not either Danso or Jerome will be handed an Impact debut. In midfield, Klopas could give a debut to 30-year-old Spaniard Gorka Larrea who played 90 minutes in the reserves against Harrisburg City Islanders last Friday. The Odds: This is only the third meeting between the two sides in Major League Soccer, with the Whitecaps having won both of the previous encounters. Montreal havent played a league match in Vancouver since losing 2-0 in the clubs inaugural MLS game in March 2012, but the Impact were celebrating after their last match at BC Place. A 2-2 tie last spring in the second leg of the Amway Canadian Championship saw Montreal lift the Voyageurs Cup. With Vancouvers strong home form and Montreals difficulties on the road the Whitecaps will be strong favourites heading in. Carl Robinsons team has lost just once at BC Place this season, while the Impact are yet to win away.

There will be features on Carl Robinson, Kekuta Manneh, and Montreals Canadian international winger Issey Nakajima-Farran. Deion Sanders Jersey .S. Basketball Writers Association.

Chuck Howley Youth Jersey .com) - Nicklas Backstrom scored a pair of goals and Alex Ovechkin notched a highlight-reel tally, leading the Washington Capitals to a 4-0 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Saturday at the Prudential Center.MONTREAL - It was the Sam Reinhart lines turn to shine for Canada at the world junior championship.Reinhart scored twice, Anthony Duclair had another and Max Domi had two assists as Canada took revenge on Finland with a 4-1 victory on Monday night.Its every line, every night, at least for the generating part of it, Reinhart said. We were able to carry the momentum through all four lines and thats whats needed in a tournament like this.Curtis Lazar had the other goal for Canada (3-0-0), which ends group stage play with a showdown against the United States (2-0-1) for first place on Wednesday night.Montreal Canadiens prospect Artturi Lehkonen scored for Finland (0-2-1), which must beat Germany on Wednesday to advance to the quarter-finals.Since their selection camp opened on Dec. 11, Canadas coaches have stressed speed and skill on all four lines and, so far, it has worked.In a tournament opening 8-0 win over Slovakia, the Robby Fabbri-Nic Petan duo did much of the damage. In a 4-0 win over Germany, Connor McDavid had three points.There was a clear step upward in competition against Finland, the defending champion, but even the tight-checking Finns couldnt hold off Canadas relentless attack. Canada outshot Finland 36-28.They tighten up, but we moved the puck the best, said Reinhart. Weve got the most speed and it made it easier on entries. Against teams that trap, thats what weve been practising.At last years tournament in Malmo, Sweden, Finland beat Canada 5-1 in the semifinals to ensure the Canadians would go a fifth-straight year without a gold medal.Reinhart, one of seven returning players, said revenge was not the main issue. But vengeance drew a smile from team captain Lazar.Especially for us returning guys, said the Ottawa Senators winger. We know the program they have there (in Finland) is outstanding. They won the tournament last year. We knew we couldnt take them lightly. I felt that all through our lineup, we were ready to go.The Finns have scored only once in each game and are 0-for-13 on the power play in the tournament. And now theyre in a must-win game against the Germans.Now we can see how big and how much character this team has,, said Lehkonen.dddddddddddd If we bounce back and beat Germany, well be stronger for this experience and well be a stronger team when we face Sweden or Russia (in the quarter-finals).Canada got the opening goal 5:32 into the game when Reinhart fed Shea Theodore at the point and then tapped his rebound past Juuse Saros.The crowd of 15,718, the largest so far at the Bell Centre, roared when Julius Honka tied up Domi for a moment in a corner. But when they got up, Domi slipped a cross-ice pass to Duclair, whose pass in front was defected over Saros by Reinhart for his second of the game and of the tournament.The Finns got one back when Samuel Morin misplayed a puck in his zone and Lehkonen jumped on it and banged his own rebound past Zach Fucale with 1:34 left in the second period. It was the first goal allowed by Canada, which has outscored its opponents 16-1.Domi took the puck hard to the net and Duclair was on the doorstep to lift in his rebound 11:15 into the third period.Saros dropped a Josh Morrissey point shot and Lazar poked in the loose puck on a power play at 14:25 to make it 4-1.It was a strong game for Fucale, who made a big stop on a Roope Hintz breakaway in the first minute and a handful more big saves. Saros was almost as good in the other net, and got a break when Domi hit a post from the slot in the second period.We knew it would be a hard-fought game and we were ready for that, said Fucale, who was the losing goalie last year against Finland. We were very confident coming into the game. We played a strong team game.Coach Benoit Groulx said he will announce on Tuesday whether Fucale or Eric Comrie will start in goal against the Americans.The open flow of the first period was a surprise as the Finns went on the attack after falling behind early. There was a stretch of more than five minutes without a whistle in the first that featured big scoring chances at both ends.Notes — The Canadian juniors are 23-8-6 all-time against Finland. . . Finland dropped Pittsburgh prospect Kasperi Kapanen to the second line and promoted Juuso Ikonen. . . Canada went 2 for 3 with the man advantage and is 5 for 10 for the tournament. ' ' '
