Major League Soccer released its full 2015 schedule on Wednesday, two months to the day before Canadas teams will kick off the new season. Devon Travis Jersey . Here are five things to look for: 1. O Canada Each teams home openers were announced just before Christmas so we already knew that Vancouver Whitecaps would host Toronto FC on the opening day of the season, March 7th at BC Place. There will be four all-Canadian matchups in total in MLS this season. As Canada gets set to welcome the world in June for the FIFA Womens World Cup, there will also be two all-Canadian clashes in MLS that month. The Whitecaps will travel to Montreal on Wednesday, June 3rd to play the Impact at Stade Saputo, and on Wednesday, June 24th Toronto FC will host Montreal at BMO Field in the first of three matches between the 401 rivals. The Reds and Impact will meet again in Toronto on Saturday, August 29th and then they will finish the season playing each other in Montreal on Sunday, October 25th. 2. Seven On The Road With BMO Field undergoing renovations during the early stages of the season, Toronto FCs quest for a first ever playoff berth will get underway with seven matches in a row away from home. Before they host Houston at BMO Field on Sunday May 10th, Toronto will travel to Vancouver, Columbus, Real Salt Lake, Chicago, Dallas, Orlando and Philadelphia. If Greg Vanneys team can at least stay in touch with the playoff pack by the time they return home, they will have a favourable schedule to look forward to. Beginning with their home opener against the Dynamo, they will play six of eight games at home during May and June, and perhaps most importantly 10 of their last 14 matches of the 2015 season will be on home soil with eight of those games against Eastern Conference opposition. 3. Theres No Place Like Home Like Toronto FC, Vancouver Whitecaps will face a time where they cannot use their BC Place stadium during the 2015 season. The Caps will be on the road for five matches during the Womens World Cup at Montreal, LA, New York Red Bulls, New England and Colorado - but that means they can also look to take advantage of a few occasions during the season where their schedule is heavy with home games. The Whitecaps start the season with four out of their first six at home, including three in a row against Portland Timbers, LA Galaxy and Columbus Crew. They will also play six of their last nine matches at home. With the Whitecaps also facing matches in the Amway Canadian Championship and CONCACAF Champions League later in the year, having less MLS travel during the later stages of the season will certainly be a bonus. 4. Kings Of Cascadia Alongside the all-Canadian matches, the first dates circled on the schedules of Whitecaps fans will be the Cascadia Cup matches. Winning the trophy in Seattle last October was one of the highlights of the season, and the Caps will now look to claim the trophy for the third successive year. The Whitecaps defence of the Cascadia Cup starts early in the season, with Portland Timbers visiting BC Place on Saturday, March 28th. The Caps will head to Portland twice during the season on Saturday, May 2nd and Saturday, July 18th. Seattle will travel up the I5 twice, first on May 16th and then again on Saturday September 19th. A week after the visit of Seattle, the Caps will welcome MLS new boys New York City led by Spanish star David Villa. The Whitecaps only trip of the year to Seattle will take place on the August long weekend with the match at CenturyLink Field set for Saturday, August 1st. 5. Expansion Montreals home opener against Orlando City at Olympic Stadium on Saturday, March 28th will be one of six matches the Impact will play against expansion teams in 2015.Orlando and their Brazilian star Kaka will visit Montreal again to play at Stade Saputo on June 20th, and the Impact will travel to Orlando on October 3rd. The Impact will face New York City FC three times during July and August, first at Stade Saputo on July 4th and then making trips to Yankee Stadium on July 13th and August 1st. The MLS on TSN broadcast schedule will be confirmed in the coming days, but once again we will bring you games involving all three Canadian teams, and kicking off the season with Vancouver against Toronto on March 7th. Bring it On! Custom Toronto Blue Jays . New York secured second place in the Metropolitan Division when the Philadelphia Flyers lost at Tampa Bay later Thursday. The Rangers will face either the Flyers or Columbus in the opening round of the post-season. The Rangers struggled throughout against the lowly Sabres and goalie Matt Hackett, who played in just his seventh NHL game of the season. Eric Sogard Blue Jays Jersey . Reimer told TSNs Mark Masters on Tuesday that he doesnt know if he will be moved leading up to the March 5 trade deadline but added he wasnt interested in discussing it. "Who knows whats going to happen on the horizon here and right now I dont know if I want to talk about it too much. http://www.bluejaysonline.com/blue-jays-randal-grichuk-jersey/ . - Connor Brown and Dane Fox both scored in regulation and in the shootout, as the Erie Otters extended their win streak to 10 games by defeating the London Knights 4-3 on Saturday in Ontario Hockey League action.DENVER -- A two-week losing streak that included a tumultuous player-coach run-in during a game is over and the Denver Nuggets can finally exhale. Ty Lawson scored 18 points, including a key 3-pointer with less than a minute to play, and the Nuggets snapped an eight-game losing streak with a 111-108 win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday night. "Its a wonderful feeling," said Kenneth Faried, one of six Nuggets to score in double figures. "We got the monkey off our back. We cant put it back on." Lawson also had 12 assists for the Nuggets, who played without Andre Miller. His two-game suspension stemming from a verbal clash with coach Brian Shaw during Wednesdays loss to the Philadelphia 76ers was rescinded by the club earlier Friday. But Miller, who lit into Shaw over his lack of playing time in the waning minutes of Wednesdays game in full view of fans and teammates, will remain away from the team until Monday under a newly issued personal leave. With frustration and uncertainty running rampant, Shaw held individual meetings with his players, and then had a group session with the team Thursday. "It was great," guard Randy Foye said. "Coach called us in and just explained how much confidence he had in us, what he expected from us. He reassured us that hes with us 120 per cent. He told us that he needs us to be with him 120 per cent, and to believe in the game plan. Coach was awesome, explaining the things that he needed from us, and I think guys took that and ran with it." Shaw said dealing with the fallout from the losing streak as well as the verbal clash with Miller was just part of the job. "Everything thats gone on in the last 48 hours is part of what you sign up for," Shaw said. "Theres ups and downs. ... But just allowing everybody to voice how they felt about the way things were going, assess themselves, assess us as a coaching staff, I think that just liberated everyone." Faried and Timofey Mozgov added 16 points apiece for Denver and Nate Robinson had 15 points, including nine in the fourth quarter. Zach Randolph had 25 points to lead Memphis and Mike Conley added 23. Billy McKinney Jersey. Mike Miller narrowly missed a tying 3-pointer at the buzzer. "We didnt guard well," Grizzlies coach David Joerger said. "They got the loose balls. They got the offensive rebounds and we didnt convert on fast breaks. We gave up too many easy baskets." Trailing by 10 at the break, the Grizzlies got back in the game by opening the third quarter with a 13-4 run. Tony Allens layup little more than three minutes later put the Grizzlies in front 65-64, their first lead since the opening moments of the game. The Nuggets came back, with help from a three-point play by Evan Fournier and a 3-pointer by Robinson to take a 77-75 lead into the fourth quarter. The Nuggets extended their lead to 87-77 with 9:32 remaining, getting 3-pointers from Randy Foye and Robinson around a breakaway dunk by Faired. The Grizzlies made another push, getting seven consecutive points capped by Conleys 3-pointer to pull to 98-96 with 4:05 left. Robinson answered with a 3-pointer to give the Nuggets a bit of breathing room, but Tayshaun Prince drained a 3-pointer with a minute left, getting the Grizzlies within 107-104. Lawson rebuilt the Nuggets lead to six points with a clutch 3-pointer with 53.1 seconds left. Memphis scored the next four points, and with 4.1 seconds left fouled Robinson, who made one of two free throws with the Grizzlies rebounding and getting the ball with just over 3 seconds remaining. Millers attempt for a tying 3-pointer hit the back of the rim and bounced out. "They played desperate. They needed a win and they played like it," Conley said. "They worked hard for it and they outworked us at the end." NOTES: Lawson has had eight points-assists double doubles this season. ... Mozgov has come off the bench to score in double figures 13 times this season. ... Memphis outscored the Nuggets 27-19 in the third quarter, getting 12 of its points from the free throw line. ... The Grizzlies attempted 38 free throws in all, making 29. Only Houston (44 on Nov. 16) shot more free throws against the Nuggets. ... Randolph reached 25 points and 13 rebounds in a game for the third time this season. ' ' '
