MONTREAL - Without suspended scoring star Marco Di Vaio, the Montreal Impacts disappointing start to the MLS season may have been predictable. Mike Bossy Jersey . Montreal (0-3-0) directed 25 shots toward the Seattle goal on Sunday, but couldnt find the net. And then the Impact fell victim to defensive lapses as the Sounders spoiled its home opener at Olympic Stadium with a 2-0 victory on Sunday. An own goal off a Lamar Neagles header only eight minutes in and a goal from Obafemi Martins early in the second half was all Seattle (2-1-0) needed against a punchless Montreal attack. "When you look at the game in terms of possession and our ability to get in good spots and get quality crosses in, to come away with nothing — it just seems were not getting any little breaks," said the Impacts still-winless new coach Frank Klopas. "The guys worked hard and nothings going for us right now. Thats the frustrating part." Di Vaio, a 20-goal scorer last season, and midfielder Andres Romero finished serving the three-game suspensions they incurred in a skirmish at the end of a playoff game in October. Both will be back for Montreals game Saturday in Philadelphia. Without their 38-year-old Italian striker, they have managed only two goals in three games. But the hard part for Klopas, whose mandate was to tighten the defence, was that they have conceded six. Defender Matteo Ferrari said it would be unfair to expect Di Vaio to step in and solve all the teams problems right away as he hasnt played a real game in five months. He hopes to see better all-around play from the team. "We have to work hard on the defensive part — not just the four on the defence but the attitude of the team," said Ferrari. "We took six goals. Its too much. "But I want to stay positive. Its the beginning of the season and the coach knows what to do, so forget about the standings right now and just keep working." Still, it should help to have an experienced finisher. The Impact had a 25-9 edge in attempts on goal and 6-4 lead in shots on target. What was missing was someone to bury the chances as forward Andrew Wenger and midfielder Felipe Martins fired blanks for a second game in a row. Down 2-0 in the second half, the Impact went on full attack. Substitute Blake Smith nearly had one in the 84th minute, but his shot was swept off the line by Djimi Traore. "Two factors (Di Vaio) brings — fear to the other team because maybe theyre more on their heels, and maybe more confidence to our team knowing that we have a guy that can change a game on the spur of the moment," said Impact midfielder Patrice Bernier, who played his first home game since he was named team captain. "Thats a benefit, but still, as a team, we have to be a unit. We create chances, but maybe give a little to much to the other team. Maybe his fresh legs that can give us a spark in Philly so we come out with some points." The Sounders, coming off a 2-1 defeat last week to Toronto FC, could easily have been up by three goals in the first half. Neagle, who spent the 2012 season with Montreal before being traded back to the Sounders, headed a Gonzalo Pineda free kick out of a crowd and saw it hit the crossbar and deflect off goalkeeper Troy Perkins and into the net in the eighth minute. "It comes off the bottom of the crossbar, hits me in the arm and goes in," said Perkins. "You can sit there and say hed have been better off just watching it, but I tried to make a play and was a little unlucky." Seattle nearly had another in the 17th minute, but Perkins reached back to get a hand on Martins header. And in the 32nd minute, Neagles long low shot went off a goalpost. The Sounders struck again in the 58th minute, when Neagle passed across the front of the goal and Kenny Copper chipped it back for Martins to head into an open side with the Impact defence standing still in front of Perkins. "I knew wed absorb some pressure," said Seattle coach Sigi Schmid. "We wanted to get forward on the counter and I figured we could create some chances off that. "Its been a long road trip with the extra day, but I thought we did a good job. Perkins makes an unbelievable save on Obafemis header and Lamars unlucky when he hits the inside of the post and it goes across in the first half. But I thought we did what we needed to do." The game was originally scheduled for Saturday but was postponed a day due to fears of an accumulation of snow on the domed stadiums roof, which is slated for replacement. Montreal is 4-2-3 in games played at the Big O. "When we trained on Saturday we had a little more of a fun training session,"said Schmid. "The guys had a bit of fun with it. We just told them it was Groundhog Day and well repeat everything again." Notes: It was Montreals first loss to Seattle in three MLS meetings. . . The Sounders were without their big off-season signing Clint Dempsey due to a two-game suspension for hitting Toronto FC defender Mike Bloom in the groin last week. ... Montreal has two more games at Olympic Stadium, April 5 against New York and April 12 against Chicago before moving outdoors to Saputo Stadium. John Tavares Jersey . CEO Steve Koonin on Tuesday told the Hawks flagship radio station that he made the decision to discipline Ferry but allowed him to keep his job managing the team. He did not say what the punishment was, but noted that he relied on a law firms three-month investigation of Ferry and him describing Deng as someone who has a little African in him. Custom New York Islanders Jerseys . LOUIS -- The St. http://www.islanderssale.com/ . Louis Blues, having added Ryan Miller and Steve Ott from Buffalo, remain the No.For all thats been made of Andrew Lucks matchups with Peyton Manning, the third-year quarterbacks remaining room for growth might be most evident when facing another future Hall of Famer. Tom Brady, coming off a bye following a win over Manning, will try to again show Luck that he still has things to learn tonight as the New England Patriots look to distance themselves from another of the top AFC contenders. You can watch the game live on TSN1, TSN3, TSN4, and TSN GO at 8pm et/5pm pt. Their offense is doing a great job this year. They score a lot of points, especially at home, and hes kind of the ringleader, Brady said of Luck. ... When you play another great offense, youre going to have to put up a lot of points, similar to our last game. We realize we have a big job, too. Youre right, my focus is on the other side of the ball, but you also know youre not going to be able to score 13 points and win the game. Despite his stretch of dominance through the air, Luck has struggled in matchups with the Patriots. Hes posted a 51.6 completion percentage with seven interceptions in two games against New England (7-2), a 2012 regular-season loss and last seasons 43-22 playoff defeat for a rating of 58.2 - his lowest among teams hes faced more than once. Brady had three TDs, no INTs and a 106.9 rating in those games. You think about it, Luck told the teams official website. Especially when you come back from the offseason and youre watching cutups of games, what went wrong. You do see the cutups and think, OK, what could we have done differently? Its quite the contrast from Lucks current seven-game run, during which he has 21 touchdowns, six interceptions and an average of 363.3 yards for a 104.5 rating. He leads the league with 3,085 yards and is on pace to narrowly surpass Mannings record of 5,477. The Colts are coming off a 40-24 win over the New York Giants on Nov. 3 that led into their bye. Luck went 25 of 46 for 354 yards and four scores to give Indianapolis (6-3) a sixth win in seven games. This team is going as far as Andrew goes, said receiver T.Y. Hilton, who has averaged 118.7 yards in those seven contests. The Colts have also won three straight at home, while New England is 2-2 on the road but enters with a five-game winning streak. A 43-21 home victory over Denver on Nov. 2 vaulted the Patriots to the top of the AFC.. Clark Gillies Jersey. Brady was 33 of 53 for 333 yards, four TDs and an interception. It was his first pick in five games and just his third of the season. His interception percentage - the percentage of times picked off when attempting to pass - of 0.9 is tops in the league, well ahead of Luck at 15th (2.3 percent, with nine interceptions). While the Colts 32.2 points per game puts them ahead of Denver (31.8) and New England (31.2) for the NFL lead, the Patriots have taken better care of the ball with a league-low six turnovers. Their plus-12 differential ties them with Arizona for the best in the league, while Indianapolis margin is even with 15 turnovers. Plus, the Patriots have averaged a league-best 40.2 points in the last five games. Part of that has to do with Rob Gronkowskis return to dominance, with 36 catches for 516 yards and five scores in that span. He has 18 receptions for 254 yards and four TDs in the past two. Defensively, the Patriots just proved they could disrupt one of the leagues best quarterbacks as Manning was held to a season-low 80.9 rating. The Colts will be out to show they can do the same, though they werent successful at it against the top two rated quarterbacks theyve faced - Manning and Ben Roethlisberger, who rank second and third behind Aaron Rodgers. Both games resulted in losses and were Indianapolis only two allowing more than 30 points. The Colts gave up 82 points, 1,000 total yards and nine TD passes in those defeats. Indianapolis has given up 31 passing plays of at least 20 yards and ranks 27th with an average of 263.6 yards passing allowed. Keeping Brady upright against a Colts team with 24 sacks will be the key to taking advantage. They blitz quite a bit more than most of the teams that weve played, which is going to be, I would say, a very critical factor in the game, our ability to handle that, New England offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels said. Including playoffs, the Patriots have won three straight in the series, but those all came at home. Theyve dropped the last two in Indianapolis, and the potential implications of this game arent lost on anyone. We know how important it is. Its us going there or them coming here (in the playoffs), Hilton said. We want to have that game here when it comes that time. Right now they are coming here so weve got to take advantage of it. ' ' '
