SAN JOSE, Calif. - Level on points and with a game in hand on the Portland Timbers in the chase for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference, the Vancouver Whitecaps earned a valuable point in a scoreless draw against the San Jose Earthquakes in front of a sellout crowd at Buck Shaw Stadium.Vancouver head coach Carl Robinson was pleased with the point earned against the conference cellar dwellers, a result that stretches the team’s unbeaten streak to four games, especially as it puts his team one point ahead of the Timbers with one week remaining in the season.“We are going into the last game knowing a result will get us where we want to get to, so I’m pleased,” said Robinson. “This was a trap game for us. They had nothing to lose and we had everything to lose. It’s never easy to play at San Jose.”Both teams struggled to create opportunities on offence in a game that lacked much creativity, and Whitecaps goalkeeper David Ousted earned his 12th clean sheet of the season, a career-high for an MLS season, with a solid performance.“It wasn’t pretty, but you don’t need to play pretty sometimes to get the point,” said Ousted. “We can now go home in control of our own destiny.”The result against San Jose, coupled with Toronto FCs 1-1 draw with the Montreal Impact earlier in the day, qualified Vancouver for the 2015-16 CONCACAF Champions League by virtue of finishing the MLS season with the best record of the three Canadian teams. It will only be a consolation prize for the Whitecaps, however, if they fail to qualify for the MLS Cup playoffs.“It’s very important for the club to be in the Champions League,” said Robinson. “We have never done it, so it was important to do that.”“It is awesome,” added forward Erik Hurtado. “It is a great opportunity, and when the time comes, we can talk about it. Right now we have to focus on our game next week.”With a victory in their last remaining match of the season, at home against the Colorado Rapids on October 25, the Whitecaps will be assured a spot in the MLS Cup playoffs. Even a draw or loss could be enough, but that would require the Timbers to also drop points in their season finale at FC Dallas.“I’ve said all along that if we control our own destiny going into our last game, I will be happy, and now we do,” said Robson. “This is a massive week for the football club.”“Win it and we’re in it, it’s as simple as that,” added Ousted. “We are looking forward to that game.”Scoring chances were at a premium for both sides in the opening half. The Whitecaps twice had free kick attempts at the top of the penalty area, the first by Pedro Morales in the 33rd minute and the second four minutes later, but neither troubled Quakes goalkeeper Jon Busch.The best opportunity for the home side came in the 44th minute, as a deflected cross from former Whitecaps midfielder Shea Salinas landed at the feet of Chris Wondolowski. San Jose’s leading scorer on the season with 14 goals rifled a shot through a phalanx of defenders, but Ousted made a kick save to keep the Earthquakes off the scoreboard.The Whitecaps made a trio of substitutions midway through the second half in an effort to spark the offence, including Gerson Koffie for Matias Laba, Darren Mattocks for Hurtado, and Sebastian Fernandez for Morales. It was influential midfielder Koffie’s first appearance for Vancouver after missing 10 games due to an ankle injury.Mattocks broke through the defence in the 75th minute and had a clear path on goal, but Busch closed the angle and made a big save on the Jamaican forward.Ousted kept the game scoreless in the 81st minute as he punched clear a free kick by Earthquakes designated player Matias Perez Garcia. The second-year MLS goalkeeper went on to earn the shutout as neither team could break the deadlock.The Whitecaps return home to BC Place to finish the regular season with a chance to qualify for the playoffs for only the second time as an MLS club.

Groves signed with Cleveland as an unrestricted free agent last year after a season with Arizona. He was in the linebacker rotation and had a sack in the season opener against Miami.MINSK, Belarus - Morgan Rielly and Nazem Kadri were hanging out in their hotel room at the world hockey championship when Twitter told them the news. The Toronto Maple Leafs were holding a news conference, so they got curious. It didnt take long for them to find out via social media that coach Randy Carlyle was coming back — with a two-year extension — and assistants Greg Cronin, Scott Gordon and Dave Farrish were being let go. "I wasnt too sure how to react," Rielly said. "I personally like Randy, I think hes a great coach. I think we have a pretty good relationship. "I didnt really know what was going to happen with him either here or if hes gone and then obviously all the other coaches. So you just have to keep an open mind about it. Its obviously too bad that we dont have Crow, Gordo and Dave." Along with goaltender James Reimer, a restricted free agent who figures to be traded rather than return as Jonathan Berniers backup, the Leafs players here have their own problems to worry about right now. Theyre playing for Team Canada, which allows them to focus on the next game, the next practice rather than the machinations of what are happening back home. Still, Thursdays announcement affects them in a significant way. Reports dating to the trade deadline have mentioned Kadri as a player the Leafs would like to trade, and keeping the Dave Nonis-Carlyle regime in place under new president Brendan Shanahan only sparked more. Kadri isnt one to say hes worried about trade rumours, and the 23-year-old cenntre also wasnt surprised that Carlyle was coming back.dddddddddddd "Not really. Randys a good coach," he said. "I think the players got to be a little better and a little more prepared. "With what happened last year, its an eye-opener, especially for the young group we had, and Im sure its not going to happen again." Leafs fans had to figure losing 12 of the final 14 games would prompt changes. Shanahan was brought in, and it wouldnt have been the least bit shocking for Carlyle to take the significant brunt of the blame. Instead, by Nonis saying he and the front office still saw Carlyle as the right man to lead the Leafs, the message seems to be the blame is on the players. Kadri didnt necessarily see the moves as a mandate of that. "Were a team. Everyone plays for the team. You stick together, you win as a team, you lose on a team," he said, echoing a line Carlyle has used many times. "I dont think its on a specific group of people or a specific person. I think we all got to be better, including the players." The players who start the 2014-15 NHL season are likely to be much different from those who ended this disappointing regular season. Along with Kadri, defenceman Jake Gardiner has been the other big name mentioned in reports of whom the Leafs could trade this summer. Gardiner is at the world championships playing for the United States, but Rielly said Saturday he hadnt talked to his Leafs roommate about the news. No doubt itll be a major topic of conversation once they cross paths here.
