BROSSARD, Que. Ameer Abdullah Jersey . - It is getting down to crunch time at the Montreal Canadiens camp.The Canadiens made five cuts on Thursday, including defencemen Greg Pateryn and Davis Drewiske, to reduce the training camp roster to 28 players.Forwards Sven Andrighetto, Jake Dowell and Gabriel Dumont were also sent to the AHL Hamilton Bulldogs, who are holding training camp in St. Johns, N.L.Among those who escaped the cuts were forwards Christian Thomas, Jacob de la Rose and Jiri Sekac, defencemen Nathan Beaulieu, Jarred Tinordi, Darren Dietz and Francis Bouillon and goaltender Dustin Tokarski.Montreal also agreed to a one-year, two-way deal with former Carolina forward Drayson Bowman, who was invited to join the Canadiens camp on a professional tryout.The survivors are expected to see action in pre-season games against the Ottawa Senators on Friday and Saturday nights. Teams have until Tuesday to get down to the 23-man roster limit.It is likely that Beaulieu, who played in the post-season in the spring, will make the NHL club, but it may be between Tinordi and Bouillon for the job as the seventh defenceman on the depth chart.The six-foot-six Tinordi has had an up-and-down camp, but coach Michel Therrien said he likes his physical play. If he is sent down, the team can turn to returning veteran Bouillon, who was invited to camp on a tryout.In Francis case, its not an audition, said Therrien. We know exactly what weve got.After we make our evaluation of the young players, then well make a decision. We need to see if the young defencemen are ready to play in the NHL.Bouillon, who turns 39 on Oct. 17, looked relieved to still be in camp.I know Im in competition with the young guys, but the best I can do is show up on the ice and show that I can still play in this league, he said. The rest I have no control over.The big surprise was Dietz, a rushing defenceman who was limited to 34 games in Hamilton last season due to injuries. The Medicine Hat, Alta., native has been impressive in camp.I like his speed, said Therrien. Hes got poise with the puck.He can jump up in the play. Well give him another chance to see what hes got.The goal is to make the hockey team and nothing is accomplished yet, said Dietz.At forward, the speedy, five-foot-nine Thomas has made himself noticed in every pre-season game hes played.There should be a spot open on right wing, and the son of former NHL winger Steve Thomas has made a good case, although he is up against gifted six-foot-two newcomer Sekac, who looks to have the edge so far. The 19-year-old De la Rose appears to be a long shot to crack the lineup.Everyones goal here is to have a good camp and make the Canadiens and this just means Im a step closer, said Thomas. Hopefully I made a good impression with the staff and that it stays like that.Therrien said Pateryn needs to adjust to the pace of play in the NHL, while Drewiske simply needs playing time after missing most of last season with a shoulder injury.In goal, the Canadiens are still undecided on whether to keep Peter Budaj, the incumbent back-up to Carey Price, or Tokarski, who was chosen over Budaj to play when Price was injured in the Eastern Conference final. Ziggy Ansah Jersey . According to TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger, the Maple Leafs have trade offers on the table for the 26-year-old, but none have been deemed acceptable by the team. T.J. Jones Jersey . MLS Commissioner Don Garber and Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez also will attend the session, which was announced Monday. The league has discussed placing its next two expansion teams in Miami and Atlanta.Rome, Italy (SportsNetwork.com) - With Juventus and Roma battling it out at the top of Serie A, there is likely one Champions League place remaining for a handful of teams. Two of the leading candidates to claim third place, Lazio and Napoli, will square off at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday with the two sides separated by just one point. Lazio has reached third place on the strength of a six-game unbeaten streak in league play, including a 2-2 draw against Roma in the Rome derby last weekend. Napoli dropped to fourth place after losing 3-1 to league leaders Juventus, and Rafael Benitez will be eager for his side to bounce back and reclaim a spot in the top three. Lazio manager Stefano Pioli will miss forward Felipe Anderson because of a knee injury, which will be a blow to the capital club with Anderson having recorded five goals and five assists in his previous five outings. The visitors were level with Juve through 65 minutes in their last match, but goals from Martin Caceres and Arturo Vidal over the final 20 minutes handed the club its fourth league defeat off the season. Matt Prater Jersey. At the top of the league, Juventus holds a three-point lead on Roma and the Old Lady will be facing a familiar foe on Sunday as the club entertains Hellas Verona. These two sides met up on Thursday in the Coppa Italia with Juve rolling to a 6-1 victory behind two goals from Sebastian Giovinco, and the home side will be looking to replicate that result to remain on top of the table. Roma will hit the road to face mid-table Palermo in an effort to keep pace with Juventus, while Sampdoria enters the weekend level with Napoli on 30 points and should be expecting to add to that total on Sunday at second-from- the-bottom Parma. Inter Milan will kick off the weekend on Saturday at bottom-half side Empoli with Inter riding a four-game unbeaten streak and the club possibly handing a debut to new signing Xherdan Shaqiri. Atalanta sits three points above the relegation zone and faces a tough trip to AC Milan, last-place Cesena hosts Torino, Fiorentina invades Chievo, mid-table sides Genoa and Sassuolo square off and Udinese hosts Cagliari.Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
