In the history of the sporting rivalry between Montreal and Toronto, there are only a few chapters between the two cities professional soccer clubs.But the most riveting entry is about to be written.The Montreal Impact hosts Toronto FC in the first leg of their MLS Eastern Conference Finals on Tuesday at Olympic Stadium in a crowd that could exceed 60,000 fans. Its already become one of the leagues fiercest rivalries and the intensity is going to get kicked up that much further with the honor of being Canadas first ever MLS Cup finalist at stake.Its great for Canadian soccer because two clubs out of the three are in the conference final, and one will be able to attend the final, said midfielder Patrice Bernie, a native of the Montreal suburb of Brossard, Quebec. It shows the growth of professional club soccer here in Canada. ... These are the types of game you want to play in.Given the gravity of the situation, the Impact decided to move the game indoors to the larger Olympic Stadium instead of the usual home of Saputo Stadium, which is just a few steps away and only seats just over 20,000 fans. The Olympic Stadium, meanwhile, is the massive legacy of the 1976 Olympics and its enclosed concrete bowl will amplify what will be an intensely massive crowd for the occasion.Its also fortunate that they did move the game indoors because a weather system could bring snow to the Montreal area the day before the game and into game day.The surface at Saputo Stadium is natural grass while the Olympic Stadium has an artificial surface that will add another dimension of unpredictability to the game.Its the same for both teams. I think anytime you mention turf in MLS, guys kind of roll their eyes a little bit. Itll be a fantastic venue. Itll be a fantastic atmosphere, said Toronto defender Drew Moor. Were excited to go. Its not going to be a factor at all.These same two teams met last season but in the one-game knockout round with Montreal easily winning 3-0 at home. At this stage of the MLS Cup playoffs, there is a second leg to be played in Toronto.That takes place on Nov. 30 when one of these teams will not only represent their respective city but also Canada for the first time ever in an MLS Cup Championship game.

Vancouver Whitecaps and Toronto FC failed to make the postseason while Montreal Impact fell at the first hurdle losing heavily to Houston Dynamo in the Eastern Conference Knockout Round. BOSTON -- Two teams coming off tough 3-2 road losses Tuesday night get together when the Carolina Hurricanes visit the Boston Bruins on Thursday night.Though both clubs fell, but the Bruins did manage to get a point at Philadelphia, losing a nine-round shootout after rallying for two goals in the third period to force overtime. Boston outshot the Flyers 47-21.The Bruins (21-10-1) are just 5-5-0 at home this season, but the Hurricanes, who are four points from the bottom of the Eastern Conference, are just 3-6-4 on the road.The Hurricanes (9-9-4) held a 2-0 lead in New York but were caught and passed by the Rangers, the second-winningest team in the NHL. Carolina, which felt it was a victim of a bad call late, slipped to 0-8-4 in its past 12 games at Madison Square Garden.For two periods we were by far the better team and didnt allow much of anything aside from the one goal and a couple other chances on the break, said Viktor Stalberg, who scored both Carolina goals Tuesday. He played for the Rangers last season. Other than that, they didnt have any zone time. We were putting pressure on them every single shift. Frustrating ending here.The Bruins, who went 8-6-1 in November, did pick up their first point of the season in nine games trailing after two periods. However, they succumbed in the third-longest shootout in team history (No. 2 was also this season).It was Bostons first game without both Zdeno Chara and John-Michael Liles, two of the teams three best defensemen. Chara, who missed the past four games, is still day-to-day with a lower-body injury, while Liles iss out with a concussion he sustained Sunday.ddddddddddddAsked Tuesday if Chara could return as early as Thursday, Bruins coach Claude Julien said, No idea. He could, (or) maybe not. I really dont know right now. I think hes supposed to skate back home. I dont have that news. So well see how he progresses. We want to have him back as soon as possible. But theres part of it that hes got to be medically cleared, and then the players got to feel that hes ready to go.The Hurricanes, 7-5-2 in November, dropped three of their past four and scored just seven goals in the four games.Weve got to continue to learn as we go, Carolina coach Bill Peters said. Obviously, this (loss to the Rangers) is one that I dont think too many guys will be happy the way it unfolded over 60 minutes. I thought we were in good shape at the beginning of the game, played real well and did a lot of good things. We just needed to continue that and sustain quality play for 60 minutes.Boston goalie Tuukka Rask is an impressive 7-3-3 with a 1.89 goals-against average and a .939 save percentage lifetime against the Hurricanes, while Carolina goaltender Cam Ward is just 14-15-3 with a 2.62 GAA and a .918 save percentage against Boston.Strangely enough, the Hurricanes go right back to New York and Madison Square Garden to face the Rangers on Saturday afternoon before hosting the Tampa Bay Lightning Sunday.The Bruins move on to Buffalo for a Saturday matinee against the Sabres.
