MONTREAL -- As soon as Impact manager Frank Klopas was handed his championship medal, he kissed it. Trenton Cannon Jets Jersey . In the midst of a tough season in Major League Soccer, Klopas and his Montreal squad were awarded the silverware after defeating Toronto FC 1-0 in the second leg of the Amway Canadian Championship final on Wednesday. Montreal defended its Voyageurs Cup, taking home the trophy for the second consecutive year after winning the two-legged final 2-1 on aggregate. The win is a major victory for a squad sitting at the bottom of the league standings. "You have to seize the moment," said Klopas, who won his first trophy as an MLS coach. "This was one of our goals as a team. When its there in front of you, you cant let opportunities get away. You cant take them for granted." Because the Impact scored a crucial away goal in a 1-1 draw in the first leg of the final at BMO Field on May 28, a scoreless draw in Montreal would have been sufficient for the overall victory. And the game was scoreless heading into stoppage time before Felipes first Canadian championship goal sealed Montreals win. Felipe powered home a decisive strike to the right of TFC goalkeeper Joe Bendik minutes before the final whistle to give the Impact their third Voyageurs Cup in the competitions seven-year history. "When I get on the field, I just want to do my best and do my job and keep doing the job I did today," said the soft-spoken Felipe after the game. As a result, the Impact (2-1-1) advance to the group stage of the CONCACAF Champions League and will represent Canada in the annual club competition featuring 24 teams from North America, Central America and the Caribbean. The Impact join the New York Red Bulls and El Salvadors C.D. FAS in Group 3 of the Champions League, which gets underway in August. "Its important for us to represent Canada well," added the Brazilian-born Felipe. Montreal has now taken back-to-back Canadian championships after Toronto FC lifted the trophy four consecutive years from 2009 to 2012. Montreal won the inaugural event in 2008. Toronto (1-2-1) made it interesting late Wednesday. Needing just one goal to move on, Jonathan Osario came awfully close to the winner in the 83rd minute of play when he skipped past an Impact defender and hit the post to keeper Evan Bushs left. "We just couldnt get that goal," said TFC manager Ryan Nelsen. "Hitting the post really summed it up. We had nice periods of play, controlled the ball for most of the time, but just couldnt get that break that would have won us the tournament." Toronto has otherwise had Montreals number since the tournament launched. TFC are now 7-2-2 all-time against the Impact in the Canadian championship. Nelsens men came out flying from the get-go, putting instant pressure on Bush. Benefiting from winger Alvaro Reys good speed down the touchline, Toronto got several good crosses into the box in the games first 30 minutes. Star striker Jermain Defoe had a volley blocked in the fourth minute of play, and skied a free kick from an advanced position in the sixth. In the 26th, a rocket by midfielder Kyle Bekker missed the net just wide. "I played a very young team over two legs that deserved to win," said Nelsen, whose team is sixth in the league with 16 points from 10 games. "Imagine whats going to happen next year when they start to mature. This is great experience for those guys. They played against Montreals top team. Next year well be even better." The tide turned in Montreals favour at the half-hour mark, with the Impact seemingly gaining confidence from a Jack McInerney header off a corner that missed just over the bar. From there, the Impact came close to opening the score on many occasions. Two left-footed volleys from Marco Di Vaio went wide, and a Hernan Bernardello free kick forced a good save from Bendik, who sprawled to his left to stop the shot in the 43rd minute. It was Montreals only attempt on target in the first half. In the end, the clean sheet was the Impacts second in as many games. Montreal has not conceded a goal in the Canadian championship at Saputo Stadium since joining Major League Soccer three years ago. "I knew it was going to be a close game," said Klopas of the second leg. "With the quality players (Toronto) have in the final third, we just had to make sure we defended really well. Sometimes things are just meant to be." Montreal will look to build on the victory when the team returns to MLS action on June 11. With just two wins from 12 league games, the Impact are last in the Eastern Conference. "Regardless of how we started the season, things take time," said Klopas. "My group never lost faith. We stuck together as a team. Winning some games has made us even stronger." Last season, the Impact finished last in their CONCACAF group. In 2008-09, the team reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League, losing 5-4 on aggregate to Mexicos Santos Laguna. Toronto FC were also beaten by Santos in the semifinals of the tournaments 2011-12 edition. "I want to wish Montreal the best in the next leg representing Canada," said Nelsen. "I hope they do really well."

Remember me? I havent written to you in a while because I have been busy working on what I think is a terrific special ... if I do say so myself. It is The 10 Most Fascinating People of 2004. The special airs tonight at 9:00 p.m. Eastern time, 8:00 p.m. Central. We have been doing the Fascinating People specials for the past l1 years but this is the best list we have ever had.
Heres the list:
Oprah Winfrey: She turned 50 this year and the whole country celebrated with her. We always find her fascinating but this year more than ever. Oprah feels her whole life has come into focus. She says she feels more alive, emotionally and physically. Oprah also gets deeply personal, telling us why she doesnt want to have children or get married.
Ken Jennings: The biggest winner ever of Jeopardy, Jennings is a charming, modest fellow who says that even his 2-year-old says Who is Ken Jennings instead of Daddy.
Donald Trump: The ultimate deal maker now with The Apprentice, which premiered last year, is a bigger deal than ever before. You will also meet his divine fiancée, Melania.
Usher: The R&B star, who sold more records than any other artist this year, sings for us and even tries to teach me to dance the way he does. As they say, good luck.
The Google Guys, Sergey Brin and Larry Page: Billionaires who still live the wayy they used to before Google. New York Jets Jerseys. How did we ever get along without Google?
Michael Moore: Love him or hate him, his documentary Fahrenheit 9/11 is the highest grossing documentary of all time. Wait until you hear his choices for president in 2008.
Mel Gibson: ...and his passion for The Passion of the Christ.
Curt Schilling: The Boston Red Sox pitcher who pitched his team to an amazing victory and helped win the World Series despite a wounded ankle that bled onto his red socks while he was throwing the winning balls.
Paris Hilton: Dont raise your eyebrows. You cant pick up a magazine without seeing her photograph. She also now has a best selling book, a perfume, jewelry, two movies, etc. Shes famous for being famous and it all came about from a private porno flick that became public. For the first time, she talks about it. By the way, I tried to dress hip by wearing a leather skirt and boots. Paris tried to look dignified, in a pink knitted suit, not a belly button in sight. We should have traded places.
Now then, No. 10 on our list is THE most fascinating person. We keep it a secret until the end of the program. Try guessing. Ill bet you are right.
I hope you will watch. The program is informative and fun.
Its good to talk with you again.
