Ze Roberto et Sandro Grande sont demeurés à Montréal.
On sait que ces 2 joueurs risquent des suspensions à leur prochain carton jaune ce qui voudrait dire manquer le premier match des séries.

Rhinos expect tough Impact
Rhinos expect tough Impact

(August 27, 2004) — The Montreal Impact clinched the A-League's Eastern Conference crown on Wednesday, meaning their last two regular-season matches tonight in Rochester and Sunday against Richmond have no bearing on their post-season position.
But don't think for one second that the Rhinos' fiercest rival doesn't want to win at Frontier Field in a match Rochester desperately needs just to get into the playoffs.
Montreal hasn't forgotten that it is 0-for-4 against the Rhinos in the playoffs.
"Our attitude has always been to win the game," Impact captain and ex-Rhino Mauro Biello said from the team's bus on Thursday afternoon.
"We know the situation the Rhinos are in. They have a lot of pressure on them. But we're tuning up for the playoffs. Obviously, we don't want to have injuries, but we want to play well. We know the Rhinos have been a thorn in our sides in the playoffs and we have the chance to put them out."
Rochester ended a six-match winless skid (0-4-2) with Wednesday's crucial 3-0 victory over Atlanta, which is battling the Rhinos for the fourth and final playoff spot. Both teams have just one regular-season match left. Rochester has never missed the playoffs in its nine-year existence.
The top four teams reach the postseason. Montreal (56 points) and Richmond (51) have secured the top two spots. Rochester has 45 points and Atlanta 44. Should the Rhinos lose or tie Montreal, they could still get in if Atlanta were to lose Saturday at home against seventh-place Toronto.
That's not very likely.
"We know we have to win," Rochester midfielder Noah Delgado said. "We'll have our game faces on."
So will the Impact, which has been dominant lately.
Montreal has shut out 19 opponents, including eight straight in a brilliant 7-0-1 stretch, to eclipse Rochester's 1998 league record of 17.
Goalie Greg Sutton has 16 of those shutouts, tying the league mark Pat Onstad set in 1998 for Rochester, but was rested in Wednesday's 2-0 win over Edmonton FC in favor of Andrew Olivieri.
"Andrew's been training well for a couple of months and he deserved some starts," coach Nick DeSantis said. "He's proven he can play."
DeSantis said he has not chosen a starter for tonight. If he thinks Sutton might be recalled by the Canadian national team for next weekend's World Cup qualifier with Honduras, DeSantis might want to use Olivieri to prep him for the playoffs.
"We've gone into every game this season with the same mentality. We want to win," DeSantis said.
"The guys want to finish first overall (in the league). It's the same concentration that we played Rochester in June."
Montreal has beaten Rochester twice this year by 1-0 scores, but the Rhinos played their best match in two months in handling Atlanta. They showed intensity, were solid defensively, pressured well and forward Chris Carrieri scored on two strong shots.
"Right now we've seen it all so we have no excuses," Rhinos defender John Wilson said.
"Defensively, we're prepared. We've played Montreal enough to know what they've got. If we come out and play like a team like we did Wednesday, we shouldn't have any problems."
Rochester coach Pat Ercoli expects nothing less than a top effort from Montreal, which found itself in a similar situation in 1996 while playing a late-season match in Rochester (a 1-0 Impact loss) after having wrapped up the regular-season title.
"We know they're coming here to try to win," he said.
That would mean Montreal doesn't have to face Rochester in the first round. Atlanta midfielder John Ball said some Impact players told him after the Silverbacks' 1-0 loss Sunday in Canada that they were pulling for Atlanta to get the No. 4 seed, not Rochester.
But this is a chance for the Rhinos to wipe away a lot of the frustration from a two-month funk.
It's their opportunity to get into the "second season," which would mean fans who have been critical of the team's lackluster play can forget about the disappointing regular season.
"When there is so much criticism we have to take it and turn it into a positive channel," Carrieri said.
"We can't take it negatively or get an attitude about it."

Oui, en fait, Nevio a frappé Stenkamp en plein visage à la sortie des joueurs après la première demi. L'arbitre n'a rien vu mais les Rhinos vont probablement protester à la ligue.

Je vois que l'IMPACT fait recette à l'exterieur presque 13000 spectateurs c bien bon maintenant cela serait bien que l'Impact marque.
Par contre votre calendrier est bizarre L'IMPACT a joué mercredi, joue ce soir et rejoue dimanche et ce n'est pas le seul club dans ce cas.
Comment ils font les joueurs pour tenir cette cadence?

Pour ce qui est du calendrier: 28 matches à faire rentrer en 4 mois et demi, ça fait 6-7 matches par mois. Et pour économiser lors de voyages, on voit souvent 2 matches en 2 ou 3 soirs.
Les séries se joueront le vendredi-dimanche pour avoir des "bonnes" foules.
