HAMILTON, Ont.
Mark Melancon Jersey . - The Hamilton Tiger-Cats released veteran receiver Dave Stala on Tuesday. Stala, 34, spent
five seasons with Hamilton after signing with his hometown team as a free agent
in 2009. Stala had 10 catches for 144 yards in 14 games in 2013. Stala grew
up in Hamilton and registered 263 catches for 3,336 yards and 20 TDs in 86
regular-season games with the Ticats. The six-foot-two, 198-pound former St.
Marys star began his CFL career with Montreal in 2003. "Dave was a respected
member of this team for five seasons," Ticats coach/GM Kent Austin said in a
statement. "On behalf of the Tiger-Cats organization, Id like to thank Dave for
his efforts on and off of the field and wish him all the best in the future."
Jon Niese Jersey . -- Victor Bernardez tied the game with his second goal in the 95th minute and the San Jose Earthquakes
drew 3-3 with Real Salt Lake on Saturday night.
Starling Marte Jersey . Miikka Kiprusoff had just announced his retirement after a decade-long run in Calgary and it would be
up to Berra and Ramo to fill the void.After two disappointing performances
following the World Cup break, the Whitecaps returned to winning ways at home to
Seattle Sounders last Saturday. The Caps now have the opportunity to make it
back-to-back victories when they host Chivas USA at BC Place on Saturday night,
live on TSN 2. The Form: The Whitecaps failed to score against Montreal Impact
and Colorado Rapids but they found the net against Seattle thanks to another
wonder-strike from Sebastian Fernandez. The 1-0 win against the Sounders was the
Whitecaps 4th clean sheet of the season, and their second in a row at home.
Honduran international Johnny Leveron had arguably his best game as a Cap in the
centre of defence alongside Carlyle Mitchell, and defensive consistency should
now be an aim for a club that has conceded two or more goals in half of its 16
matches. The Whitecaps have only lost once in their last nine matches and havent
been beaten at home since early April. They are fifth in the Western Conference
standings but with Portland and LA Galaxy close behind in the race for the
playoffs. The Big Question: Can the Whitecaps stop Erick Torres? The young
Mexican is the reigning MLS Player of the Week, and he is currently one of the
leagues hottest strikers. He has scored 12 goals this season, including the
winner in the last three matches and is second in scoring in MLS. Torres has
been a tormentor for the Caps in the last couple of meetings. He scored against
them when the teams drew 1-1 in California in March and got two goals in the 2-2
tie at BC Place last season. "He has super movement and is an excellent
finnisher so we will have to be on our game, not just the defenders but as a
team," said Whitecaps head coach Carl Robinson.
Starling Marte Pirates Jersey. The Opposition: Chivas USA are in excellent form as they arrive at BC Place. Having
spent most of the season adrift at the bottom of the Western Conference, they
have won their last three matches in a row and are now five points behind the
Whitecaps. It hasnt just been about the excellent form of Torres. Chivas
resurgence has been led by a new-found defensive solidity. They have kept three
consecutive clean sheets, winning all of their last three matches by a score of
1-0. Chivas have strengthened their squad with the arrivals of some experienced
MLS talent such as Marvin Chavez and Nathan Sturgis. They have also recently
welcomed defensive midfielder Oswaldo Minda back from the World Cup where he
appeared in two matches for Ecuador. The Lineup: With three matches in the space
of a week, including two on the road, Carl Robinson will likely need to rely on
his squad depth over the next week. Kicking off the week at home to Chivas
theres a good chance he will name the same XI that started against Seattle. The
Odds: The Whitecaps need to pick up points against the teams below them in the
Western Conference standings, and also make home advantage count. Despite the
string recent form of Chivas USA, Vancouver will go into this game as
favourites, as they look to record consecutive victories for just the second
time this season. Where to Watch: Vancouver Whitecaps against Chivas USA is live
on TSN 2 on Saturday night at 10pm ET, 7pm PT.
