MONTREAL - Defender Nelson Rivas, who was ejected from the only game he played in 2013, has signed a new contract with the Montreal Impact, the Major League Soccer club announced Friday. The 30-year-old Colombian missed the entire regular season after knee surgery and then was shown the red card for charging an opponent in the 69th minute of Montreals 3-0 loss to Houston in the knock-out round of the playoffs. The club said Rivas will return for the 2014 campaign but gave no financial details of the deal. "We are extremely happy to have Nelson back next season," sporting director Nick De Santis said in a statement. "After the retirement of Alessandro Nesta, it was important to have another centre back on the roster. "We know he has not played a lot in his first two seasons but he has been healthy for months now. Nelson is still at a good age and is a player with power and strength. He also brings that intimidation factor on the field." The former Inter Milan defender was the first player signed by Montreal for their entry into MLS in 2012. Nike Air Max Plus Rabatt .

The Rainbow FlickNext up is the Rainbow Flick, or as you probably know it, the trick that everybody at soccer camp thought they knew how to do.A five-game winning streak wouldnt be anything out of the ordinary for the Anaheim Ducks. For the Calgary Flames, itd mark a season best and complete a perfect road trip. A win in Anaheim on Wednesday night, however, would be even more noteworthy. One of these Pacific Division teams will head into the All-Star break on a high note, and an Anaheim victory would extend its league-best point total entering the five-day break. A Calgary win would end more than a decade of regular-season futility at Honda Center. The Flames (25-18-3) have won five straight on the road, including the first four of their trip after Mondays 2-1 overtime win over Los Angeles. They last strung together six wins away from Calgary from Feb. 12-March 5, 2009. However, they last won a regular-season game in Anaheim on Jan. 19, 2004, going 0-14-5 since for the NHLs longest active road losing streak in a series. A 20th straight win for the Ducks (30-10-6) would match the fourth-longest home winning streak in a series in league history. Its Calgary, though, which has cleaned up against Pacific opponents this season with a 14-3-1 record, while Anaheim is 9-3-5. The Flames four-game run has come against Pacific teams as theyve allowed five goals, but its the latest in a streaky stretch. In the past 23 contests, Calgary has posted three four-game winning streaks and losing streaks of eight and three. Bob Hartleys team has won consecutive games in overtime and outscored opponents 6-1 in the third period and OT in the last four. Against the Kings, Sean Monahan scored for the third straight game to tie it in the third, and Dennis Wideman scored in the final minute of overtime for his second goal in two games. Whenever you get involved in a tie game late in the third period, it can go either way, and weve been very fortunate, Hartley told the teams official website.dddddddddddd. It seems to go our way right now. Joni Ortio has been in goal for the entire trip while Karri Ramo was on injured reserve. Hes posted a 1.23 goals-against average since being called up from Adirondack of the AHL on Jan. 8 and wasnt sent down when Ramo was activated Tuesday. Thank God Im not the one making the decisions, said Ortio, who beat Anaheim 7-2 on March 12 during his first stretch of NHL duty. Im just trying to create a positive problem here. How the team handles it remains to be seen. Ramo missed five games, while Jonas Hiller last played in a 6-5 home loss to Florida on Jan. 9. Hiller has dropped his last three appearances with a 4.16 GAA, and the former Duck has split two starts against Anaheim this season. Anaheims four-game winning streak is part of a 16-4-1 stretch since the start of December. The Ducks are also coming off a victory in Los Angeles, 3-2 in a shootout Saturday. Coming out with a win here, its huge for the team, and it brings a lot of confidence, Jakob Silfverberg said after converting the shootout winner. Hopefully we continue with this success. Frederik Andersen won his fifth straight start to improve to 15-2-1 with a 2.19 GAA in his last 18. Andersen is 2-0-0 with a 2.00 GAA at home against Calgary. Ryan Getzlaf has three goals and nine assists in his last seven home games against the Flames.
