Impact could break attendance mark once more vs. LATheoretically, Saturday’s crowd could now reach 60,000, and the club is advising fans to arrive at the Olympic Stadium at least an hour in advance. Impact spokesmen would not confirm any further figures during training on Thursday, but kindly invited reporters to “do the math.” The first-ever visit to Montreal by David Beckham’s Galaxy is certainly a factor in the impressive figures, and Montreal head coach Jesse Marsch is well-aware of that fact. He does feel, however, that Saturday’s game will be an opportunity to show Montreal supporters how much his team has grown. “The last time we had 60,000 was like the coming-out party of our team,” Marsch told reporters. “Now I think our team’s moved along more, and it’s a more accurate representation of who we are. I expect us to be sharp and ready to go.” www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2012/05/10/impact-could-break-attendance-mark-once-more-vs-la

Hey, don’t I know you? With first string goalkeeper Josh Saunders is dealing with personal matters, former Impact goalkeeper Bill Gaudette has been promoted to the starting role. He is winless in three starts (0-2-1), allowing four goals against on 11 shots. He played in nine games for the Impact last season, going 2-5-2, before an ankle injury injury sidelined him for the remainder of the year. He has over 80 games experience in the NASL with the Puerto Rico Islanders, taking Goalkeeper of the Year honours in 2008, along with 17 games with the Columbus Crew in MLS from 2005-2007. The Galaxy will also face an ex-keeper, as Donovan Ricketts should be playing in nets for Montreal on Saturday.
