Brettschneider, Onstad impress for DC in SoCal
Sometimes even the weather in Southern California can throw a wrench in preseason plans.
D.C. United, currently training out west, had to make a small change over the weekend thanks to a torrential downpour. The weather forced a friendly against PDL side Ventura County Fusion, originally scheduled for Saturday, to be pushed to Sunday.
That and another friendly Tuesday night against UC Santa Barbara meant the last few days were quite busy indeed ? a fact players are feeling now.

NASCAR Makes Another Small Rule Change for Daytona 500
Filed under: Daytona Int'l Speedway, Sprint Cup, NASCAR
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- NASCAR has made another change to cars for the Daytona 500, this one because temperatures are expected to reach 80 degrees Sunday during the season-opening race.
Sprint Cup officials say teams can add an extra inch to grill openings, allowing more air to flow to engine-cooling radiators.
The change was made following the final practice session Saturday and should help drivers keep their engines cooler at speeds nearing 200 mph around Daytona International Speedway on Sunday.
NASCAR made three changes earlier in the week, reducing the size of the horsepower-sapping restrictor plates, adding a pressure-relief valve to cooling systems and reducing the size of grill openings. The moves were made to slow downs cars after speeds topped 206 mph.
The 43-car field will take the green flag at about 1:15 p.m. ET.

Bryan McCabe Traded to Rangers
Filed under: Panthers, Rangers, Trade Deadline
In the middle of what will be their 10th consecutive non-playoff season, the Florida Panthers continued to unload veteran players on Saturday by sending defenseman Bryan McCabe to the New York Rangers in exchange for forward Tim Kennedy and a third-round draft pick according to TSN. It's Florida's third major trade in the past month and follows the recent deals that saw it trade Michael Frolik to Chicago and Cory Stillman to Carolina.
The Stillman and McCabe trades didn't result in much of a return (the Panthers received Ryan Carter and a fifth-round pick for Stillman), but when you're trying to dump veterans that you're likely to lose as free agents on July 1, something has to be better than nothing.
McCabe, 35, is in the last year of his contract and had to waive his no-trade clause to accept the trade to New York. He'll give the Rangers a puck-moving, offensive presence -- although sometimes an erratic one -- on their blue line, having tallied five goals and 17 assists in 48 games this season.
New York will be on the hook for a pro rated cap hit of about $1.3 million for the remainder of the season.Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
