TORONTO -- Tim Leiweke, the man who brought Jermain Defoe to Toronto FC, appears ready to show the England striker the door. Connor Williams Jersey . Defoes future has been in doubt since Toronto manager Ryan Nelsen was fired Aug. 31 and the MLS team revealed it had turned down a club record bid for the 31-year-old forward. There has been rampant speculation that Defoe, currently nursing a groin injury back in England, wants to return to his homeland. "I personally dont think Defoe will come back. I think if he doesnt want to be here, you get rid of him," Leiweke, president and CEO of Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, told Ryerson students at the Ted Rogers School of Management on Thursday. "My attitude if you want to be here and you want to buy into what were doing, lets go," he added. "Roll up your sleeves and well fight together. And I will be there with you every day. "If you dont want to be here, get the hell out of our way." Leiweke made his comment about Defoe not coming back after saying he expected some new designated players next year. The clubs three DPs this season are Defoe, American midfielder Michael Bradley and Brazilian forward Gilberto. Leiwekes TFC comments, in a question-and-answer session with the students, soon found their way to English media outlets, featured on both the Daily Mirror and BBC websites. The club had previously said that Defoe is expected back next week to continue his rehab and that he wants to be here. The former Spurs man is TFCs leading scorer with 11 goals. Toronto FC sits seventh in the Eastern Conference with a 9-11-6 record. And while saying the team was making progress, he took a swipe at the rest of the roster while saying the fans, media and club itself were stuck in a losing tradition. "The only two guys in our locker-room that are looking around and going we aint going down unless we go down fighting are Michael Bradley and (new manager) Greg Vanney. We have work to do there. Were not done by any means." "I pray that we make it to the playoffs this year," he added, "because you all deserve it. But I think we still have some hard decisions and hard work to do." Leiweke also said he made a mistake by retaining manager Ryan Nelsen and his coaching staff for the start of the season, saying he had done it out of loyalty to Nelsen. "Of the seven coaches we let go, not one of them had his coaching license," said Leiweke. The MLSE boss noted that Vanney had his coaching license and taught other coaches. In fact, former assistant coach Fran OLeary had just finished the two-year UEFA Pro Licence course, needing only to make a final presentation, when he joined Nelsen at his introductory news conference. And a club spokesman said goalie coach Stewart Kerr also had a coaching licence. Leiweke has announced he is leaving MLSE by June 2015 or sooner. But he continues to make headlines.

Alex Galchenyuk will make his first appearance of the playoffs and will draw into the lineup in place of Michael Bournival. Galchenyuk has been out since April 10 with a lower-body injury. Daniel Carcillo will play for the Rangers in place of Derick Brassard. Brassard was hurt Saturday in the first period after taking a hard hit from Montreal defenseman Mike Weaver. Brassard only played two shifts for 35 seconds of ice time before leaving the game for good. Fourth-line center Dominic Moore was pressed into an increased role following the injury. The Canadiens hope to regroup after a humiliating defeat in the opener of the Eastern Conference final. The Rangers, who were down 3-1 to Pittsburgh in the conference semifinals before rallying for the series win, posted their fourth straight victory Saturday with a 7-2 trouncing of the Habs. This is the 15th all-time playoff series between these Original Six foes, but Saturdays rout marked New Yorks largest margin of victory against Montreal in a postseason game. The seven goals also set a playoff record for the Rangers against the Habs, who had allowed six goals to New York twice before in the playoffs (Game 4, 1972 quarterfinals; Game 4, 1974 quarterfinals). With the lopsided road victory, New York also became the first team to score at least seven goals in Game 1 of a conference final since Chicago posted an 8-2 win over Edmonton in the 1992 Campbell Conference series. Ryan McDonagh led New Yorks scoring blitz with a goal and three assists, with Mats Zuccarello tallying once and adding two helpers to help make Henrik Lundqvists first win in Montreal since 2009 a rather effortless one. Even the previously slumping Rick Nash got into the act for the Rangers, potting his first goal of these playoffs while also contributing an assist. Chris Kreider, Derek Stepan and Martin St. Louis finished with a goal and an assist as well. Lundqvist, 0-3-1 with a 4.63 goals against average in his last four starts at Bell Centre, needed to make just 20 saves to end his recent struggles at the venue. Mike White Jersey. "I havent won too many games in this building, so its good to get a great start," said Lundqvist afterward. "They have a lot of speed, but our defenders blocked key shots. We played a smart game." Carey Prices afternoon wasnt as effective, as Montreals standout goaltender was pulled after two periods after saving only 16-of-20 attempts. The Rangers then scored three times on eight chances against backup Peter Budaj in the third. Lars Eller had a goal and an assist in the loss, the Canadiens most lopsided one since an 8-2 setback to Carolina in Game 6 of the 2002 East semifinals. Rene Bourque also scored for a Montreal squad that will attempt to bounce back Monday before the series shifts to New York for Games 3 and 4. Game 3 is scheduled for Thursday at Madison Square Garden. "Well put that game behind us now and move forward, but thats a good lesson," Canadiens head coach Michel Therrien remarked. "We werent ready for this game," said a frustrated Therrien. "There were offensive errors and some defensive errors as well. "We were not sharp. We werent ready mentally or physically to compete in this game, and thats the result that you saw." The Rangers improved to 8-2-0 in these playoffs when scoring first, while Montreal is 1-4-0 when allowing the initial goal. In other news for New York, the entire Rangers team spent Sundays off day attending the funeral of St. Louis mother, France, who died of a heart attack on May 8. "It was good for us to be there for him, so today was a lot less about hockey and a lot more about being there for (Marty) and his family," said Rangers defenseman Marc Staal. This best-of-seven series is the first postseason encounter between these Original Six rivals since the opening round of the 1996 playoffs when New York won in six games. The clubs have played 14 playoff series and each club has won seven times, although Montreal earned the biggest victory when it beat the Rangers in the 1979 Cup Finals. Both teams are attempting to get back to the Cup Final for the first time since the 1990s. Montreal was the last team based in Canada to win it all in 1993, but has yet to return to the Cup Final, and the Rangers are aiming to get back to the final stage for the first time since winning their last championship in 1994.
