HARRISON, N.J. -- Thierry Henrys retirement, should it come at the end of the 2014 Major League Soccer season season, will likely not cause the Montreal Impact to shed many tears. The French legend scored twice in less than 15 minutes against Montreal on Saturday night, leading New York Red Bulls to a 4-2 victory. Henrys two goals were his eighth and ninth in five games against the Impact. He has never played a game against Montreal in which he did not score. "Hes a legend, hes a great player," defender Wandrille Lefevre lamented. "Those great players, when the games are tough, they find a way to find goals for their team." "Great players make a difference, I dont know," manager Frank Klopas said, trying to find a reason for Henrys dominance against his club. "Wherever hes played, hes done that to almost everyone." The Impact - now 4-15-5 and at the bottom of the Eastern Conference table by eight points - are somewhat victims of their own success in the Canadian Championship, as CONCACAF Champions League competition made this the third game in seven days across three countries. Montreal defeated CD FAS Tuesday night in Santa Ana, El Salvador, as well as a win at home over Chicago a week ago. Klopas refused to use that as an excuse. "I thought we were sharp. Second half, I think Henry made a big difference, and sometimes theres nothing you can do. We had a couple of chances down 2-1, then gave up the third goal. A lot of hard work in the first half, it was the best half that we played. But its two different halves, and Henry made a big difference for them in the second half." Midfielder Dilly Duka, on the other hand, said he felt fatigue early. "To be honest, after the first five minutes. Music can only pump you up so much in the locker room, then you go out there and feel your joints." Despite the offensive outburst from New York in the second half and the clubs general fatigue, Montreal headed into halftime with a 1-0 lead. Recently acquired Duka, who grew up just over 20 miles from Red Bull Arena in Montville, New Jersey and attended local Rutgers University, struck a ball just inside the left post, beating Red Bull goalkeeper Luis Robles in the 37th minute to give Montreal a lead. The homecoming for the veteran midfielder, who had about a dozen family members and friends in the crowd, was hardly noticeable given the Impacts schedule. "Its been a long week for us. We had a home game, we flew to Miami for a couple days, then to El Salvador, then came here. Its a long trip, Im just glad to get back home to Montreal." New York - now 7-7-10 and holding the last Eastern Conference playoff spot - got two goals from Henry in the 53rd and 67th minutes, then it became the Bradley Wright-Phillips show. Henry sent the MLS leading goal scorer loose on a run, and he chipped the ball past goalkeeper Evan Bush. Then he added a similar strike in the first minute of stoppage time to finish off Montreal. The goals were the English strikers 19th and 20th of the season, breaking a New York franchise record held by Juan Pablo Angel, who scored 19 in 2007. "Another guy that showed that he can finish," said Duka. "I dont think he had that many chances, but pretty much every chance he had, he finished. Hes having a great year, and he punished us." A character moment for Montreal came when down 3-1, in the 79th minute, as Andres Romero bent a beautiful shot past Robles to make it 3-2. Despite eventually giving up Wright-Phillips goal in injury time, the Impact found it encouraging. "Obviously, this is something we have to be proud of," said Lefevre."It would have been easy at 3-1 to just give up, because of three games in one week, itd be easy to think the game is over. We had a chance to tie the game until, finally, they scored that fourth goal." Michael Crabtree Jersey . He looked very comfortable Wednesday night. Konerko had a big three-run double and Gordon Beckham homered for the second straight game, leading the Chicago White Sox to an 8-3 victory over the sliding Chicago Cubs. Matt Skura Jersey . I kind of got a taste of being able to pick a suit with the draft lottery, I went with the bow tie. http://www.officialbaltimoreravensfootba...t-jersey-womens. He was 26. Edwards, the Supercup Championship leader, was in the passenger seat as an instructor for a private training session at Queensland Raceway at Willowbank, outside Brisbane, Porsche Motorsport said. Morgan Cox Jersey . LOUIS -- Alexander Steen scored a power-play goal with 59. Alex Lewis Jersey . Bozak and Clarkson suffered the injuries in pre-training camp workouts, according to Carlyle, who said they made "small amounts of improvement" from Friday to Saturday. After the players were deemed less than 100 per cent by doctors after Thursdays medical testing, the Leafs held them out of on-ice testing and are being cautious.MONTREAL -- Rachel Homan and Team Canada have served notice theyre ready to defend their title at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts. The defending champions grabbed the early lead and held on for a 9-6 win in nine ends over Quebecs Allison Ross on Sunday to emerge from the second day of play at the Maurice Richard Arena as the lone team yet to lose a match. "Its where I hoped wed be," said 24-year-old Homan (3-0). "You never know whats going to happen, but the teams playing really well. Weve just got to keep rolling." With previous victories of 8-3 over Manitoba and 9-3 over Ontario, both in eight ends, they have piled up points against some highly-regarded teams without yet having to go the full 10 ends. But Homan and the team were most concerned about giving up three to Quebec (0-4) in the second, which drew a roar from the 2,281 in the seats. "We gave up three in two, but thats alright -- mistakes will happen," said Homan. "Were learning the ice and different draws will be different weights." "I underthrew two halfway hits and that didnt turn out well and then Rachel threw one we thought was good but it sailed off," said Team Canada third Emma Miskew. "We got tricked a little on either the speed or the weight. "We didnt throw any more finesse shots after that because it tricked us a little." The evening draws saw two matches go to extra ends as both New Brunswick and P.E.I. pulled off victories. New Brunswicks Andrea Crawford (2-1) scored a single in the 11th end to take a 4-3 win over British Columbias 22-year-old skip Kesa Van Osch (1-3). And Kim Dolan (1-2) of P.E.I got her first victory of the tournament, 7-6 over Quebec in 11 ends. In the other late draws, Newfoundlands Heather Strong (3-1) edged Yukons Sarah Koltun (1-2) 6-5. Koltun scored singles in the ninth and 10th ends but fell short of the comeback. And Albertas Val Sweeting (3-1) scored three in the sixth end en route to a 5-4 victory over Nova Scotias Heather Smith (1-2). The afternoon draw saw some wild finishes. Stefanie Lawton (2-1) of Saskatchewan tied her game up with two in the ninth and then stole two in the 10th to win 8-6 over Sweeting. "Tied up coming home, without hammer, we know what we have to do," said Lawton, whose side gave up two in the 10th to lose 5-4 to Manitoba in the morning draw. "We have to put up two guards and get one on the button. "We got away with one when they kissed the guard and bit and I was able to put another on top of that and put the pressure on them. Theres going to be lots of games that will be battles. You just have to keep plugging away." Another cliffhanger saw Manitobas Chelsea Carey (2-1) get the point she needed in the 10th to defeat the B.C. side 7-6. And Ontarios Allison Flaxey (1-2) scored two in the 10th and a steal of one in an extra end to down Newfoundland by 8-7. Homan won last years Scotties as skip of Team Ontario, beating Jennifer Jones Winnipeg rink in the final. Jones isnt at this years tournament, havving won an ultra-competitive qualifying tournament to represent Canada at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.dddddddddddd. Other top teams bowed out in their provincial championships, some citing mental fatigue from trying to make the Olympic team. But Homans side was spared that because they qualified automatically for the Scotties as the defending champions. "That definitely helped us," said Miskew. "Theres a lot of new faces here, but its nice to see a lot of young teams here." "We definitely have room to improve. We had a bad end but we were able to bounce back, so that was important for us. It seems every game you get a little better and thats our goal." Team Canada is part of the youth movement. Homan and Miskew are both 24, while second Alison Kreviazuk is 25. Theyve been playing together since they were young kids. Lead Lisa Weagle, 28, joined them later. Building a big lead in the morning draw against Ontario allowed them to give some playing time to their alternate, Stephanie LeDrew, who substituted for Weagle for the final two ends. "Its good to have her throw some shots and see the lines," Homan said of LeDrew. "You never know during a week if youre going to have to use her or not. "Hopefully not. Hopefully shell just be there to cheer us on, but its good to get her in early." LeDrew normally plays for Hollie Nicols Toronto rink, but she was brought in as an alternate by Homan for last years Scotties in Kingston, Ont., as well as for the 2013 womens world championship in Riga, Latvia. She got into three matches last year. "I know what it is to be prepared to jump in at a moments notice," said LeDrew. "I actually went for a jog around the arena in the sixth end to be prepared to go in the seventh, so I was warmed up and ready to rock." LeDrew said it is usually a team decision to get the alternate some playing time. "It tends to be on the ice between ends, if they have a big lead going," she said. "They see it as a good opportunity to throw the alternate in. "They also want to get me in because I have to play in two games, for at least one end in each game, in order to be eligible for the jewelry (prizes) at the end of the week -- the diamonds. So theyre being good to me." The match also pitted sister against sister as Alison Kreviazuk faced Lynn Kreviazuk, the Ontario second. "Actually, I havent played against Lynn in a few years, so this was kind of a first for me," Alison Kreviazuk said of her 22-year-old sister. "We get along great, so theres nothing negative. "They played really well, they just had a few bad breaks. I know shell pick it up for the next one." The morning draw saw more one-sided wins as Yukon downed P.E.I. by 10-3 in eight ends. Nova Scotia, beat New Brunswick by 12-2, also in eight ends. Yukon scored five in the eighth end to prompt P.E.I. to concede, while Nova Scotia had ends of four and five points in their romp over New Brunswick.
