MONTREAL - A testy draw in Toronto will leave the Montreal Impact short three defenders for its Major League Soccer regular season finale against D.C. United on Saturday.Veterans Matteo Ferrari, Hassoun Camara and Heath Pearce will sit out the match with suspensions.Happily for Montreal, all three will be available for the match they consider most important, a CONCACAF Champions League contest Wednesday night against the New York Red Bulls.Pearce will serve an automatic one-game suspension for taking a straight red card late in Montreals 1-1 draw at Toronto on Saturday. Camara was ejected in the dying minutes for being shown a second yellow card in the match, while Ferrari was cautioned in the 55th minute and will sit out a league game for yellow card accumulation.That will leave them with a mostly inexperienced back line when they face D.C. at Saputo Stadium in Marco Di Vaios farewell match.Available defenders are Futty Danso, rookie left back Eric Miller and academy products Wandrille Lefevre, Karl Ouimette and Maxim Tissot, a midfielder who can also play left back.Well try to put out a strong group to try to win the game, coach Frank Klopas said Monday. Its the last game of the season, but because of those suspensions, were going to have to make adjustments, for sure.They will likely use Danso and Lefevre in the middle, with Ouimette and Miller on the outside, but Tissot is ready if they need help.Well need people, said Tissot, a native of Gatineau, Que. Ive been used at left-mid and left back. I dont know if theyll put me on defence, but if they do, Ill be ready.The Impact (6-18-9) will finish last in the Eastern Conference, but have picked up their game of late with two wins, a loss and three draws in their last six.The tie at BMO Field eliminated Toronto FC from the playoffs, but it left Montreal winless on the road for the season (0-12-5).It was a match they felt they could have won, with Jack McInerney hitting the bar in the second half among a handful of wasted chances.In the second half we played well, we created a lot of chances, said Klopas. We were right there, but we didnt put our chances away.But its a big difference, because in games like that at the beginning (of the season), we would have found a way to not to walk away with any points. The mentality was very good. The win didnt come, but you felt good walking away from that game.Klopas confirmed that designated player Ignacio Piatti will not play either match this week. The Argentine is nursing tendinitis in a knee.As bad as the MLS season has been, Montreal has made up for it in the Champions League. They lead their three-team group at 3-0-0 and have qualified for the quarter-finals, which will be played between Feb. 24 and March 5.A win over the Red Bulls could make them one of the top four seeds and give them the advantage of playing the second leg at home.Di Vaio is suspended for the CONCACAF match, so he will be rested for the final game of his career on Saturday. The 38-year-old is to retire and is expected to take a job with his former Italian Serie A club Bologna. Cheap Air Max Wholesale . - For years William Gay kept quiet. Cheap Wholesale Air Max . Assistant coach Glen Gulutzan said Thursday that Edler, who played Tuesday in Nashville, is out indefinitely. http://www.wholesaleairmaxfreeshipping.com/ . - The Oakland Athletics say they are stopping negotiations to extend their lease at the Coliseum. Wholesale Air Max . "I had a pretty good year," the soft-spoken Granberg told TSN.ca with a grin from the teams annual rookie tournament in London. A fourth-round selection in 2010, Granberg is worth keeping an eye on with NHL training camps rolling around in less than a week. The six-foot-two, 200-pound defender may not possess the wow-inspiring theatrics of fellow prospect Morgan Rielly, but nonetheless has a chance to contribute with the Leafs when all is said and done this season. Cheap Air Max Sale . MLS Commissioner Don Garber and Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez also will attend the session, which was announced Monday. The league has discussed placing its next two expansion teams in Miami and Atlanta.With the NHL having paid Wayne Gretzky the remaining funds owed to Wayne Gretzky from the Phoenix Coyotes, the rumours of his next NHL destination are in full swing. And theyre pointing to the NHLs biggest market: Toronto. With Gretzky paid out for what is believed to be $7 to 8 million, Gretzky may be eager to get back into the NHL and TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger reports that the Maple Leafs are very much interested in The Great Ones services. But could it actually happen? Dreger spoke with TSN Radio 1050 Torontos Mike Richards this morning, stating that there is a fit between Gretzky and the Leafs. "There definitely is a possibility because there is some history here," Dreger told TSN Radio. "Prior to the start of the season I know that [Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment CEO] Tim Leiweke and Wayne Gretzky and probably some legal people involved in this negotiation as well went back and forth and came very close until the deal broke down for a number of reasons that remain somewhat uncertain. The belief is that Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment wanted Gretzky at the time and still want him as almost an ambassador-type." However, MLSE doesnt see "ambassador-type" as merely a figure-head or spokesperson role, according to Dreger. "This isnt a token position," he told Richards. "They want to put him to work and they want to use him in different areas and not to pay specific attention to just the Toronto Maple Leafs." Dreger addded that its not likely that Gretzky will be asked to fix the on-ice product of the Leafs.dddddddddddd "Theyre happy with the work Dave Nonis is doing and dont want to interfere with the hockey operations department, but when youve got someone as [high] profile as Wayne Gretzky it makes a lot of sense, I suppose, to MLSE to do whatever you can to lure him in," he said. Gretzky and the Leafs have been linked by rumours throughout the year, including the off-season rumours as well as The Great One praising the young Leafs response to head coach Randy Carlyle in the first round of the 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs against the Boston Bruins. "Its about believing in your system. The system starts with the head coach," Gretzky said of the Leafs following a gutsy Game 5 win over the Bruins. "Hes got tremendous credibility after winning a Stanley Cup himself [2007 in Anaheim]. Its not a question of players saying, Are we sure he knows what hes doing? Because theyre absolutely positive he knows what hes doing. The credibility starts right there with the coach." But would there be a fit between Gretzky and the team closest to his home town? Dreger thinks MLSE is at least willing to give it another try. "It didnt work out prior to the season but the sense I get is that therell be another attempt and I know that the Toronto Maple Leafs - or MLSE, as it were, as the bigger company – is definitely worth listening to if youre Wayne Gretzky."
