TORONTO -- Zach Collaros doesnt put much stock in one game. But in the Toronto Argonauts battle between backup quarterbacks, his game Thursday certainly didnt hurt him either. Collaros ran in one touchdown and threw for another to lead Toronto to a 24-20 victory over the Montreal Alouettes on Thursday in the final pre-season game for both teams. "I dont think I sent a message, theyve seen enough of all the quarterbacks," said Collaros, who played just one game for the Argos last season. "I dont know how much that will change anything." Collaros, whos battling Trevor Harris for the No. 2 spot behind Ricky Ray, clinched the win in a homecoming of sorts for the defending Grey Cup champions when he threw a 29-yard touchdown to Juaquin Iglesias at 12:29 in the fourth quarter in front of 6,204 fans at Varsity Stadium. With CFL cutdown day looming on Saturday, Collaros completed 5-of-9 pass attempts for 72 yards, and rushed for 14 yards on three carries. He ran in a one-yard touchdown after assembling his own scoring drive late in the third quarter. Harris was 9 of 16 for 79 yards and a touchdown. "I thought they did well," Argos coach Scott Milanovich said of his two backups. "We struggled in the first half offensively, and there were a lot of reasons for that, but until I see it Im not going to know what was happening for Trevor. "I thought we did a better job offensively adjusting in the second half and gave Zach a little better opportunity to be successful." Harris, who played in two regular-season games last year for Toronto, wasnt reading too much into Thursdays final dress rehearsal either. "The coaches told us they evaluate everything, everything equally," Harris said. "Practices and walkthroughs and the way we carry ourselves, gratitude and effort every single day -- those are big things that they look into and this was one part of it and Im sure theyll weigh this in how they want to weigh it in and make their decisions likewise and accordingly." Ray, meanwhile, started for the Grey Cup champs, but threw just three incomplete passes in his brief playing time. Milanovich was pleased with the win, but not so much the performance. "Theres a lot of things youre trying to get out of a pre-season game, but winnings a habit, so is losing, so its always important for us to try to come out on top. Well certainly take it," the coach said. "But we know we need to get a lot better next week." Anthony Calvillo was 6-for-12 passing for 114 yards and a touchdown for Montreal. Als backup Josh Neiswander was 6 of 8 for 84 yards. A festive atmosphere welcomed the Argos back on the field in their first game since they beat the Calgary Stampeders in last Novembers 100th Grey Cup game. Fans gave the team a standing ovation during introductions. "It sort of had a throwback feel for us in a way, sort of like an under-the-lights Friday Night Lights type of feel," Harris said. "So it was kind of fun, with the stands on one side and the lights. Obviously quarterbacks will tell you all that wed rather play in a dome without the wind and stuff, but it was a great time out there." The night marked the first CFL game played at downtowns Varsity Stadium in 55 years. Fans lined the stadium gates along Bloor Street, peering through the rails. Several hundred fans paid $30 for standing-room-only tickets, and lined the west side of the running track. Toronto Mayor Rob Ford and CFL commissioner Mark Cohon were seated in the front row, and shared a handshake before kickoff. Reggie Williams scored Torontos other touchdown, a circus catch in the end zone on a 16-yard pass from Harris that put the Argos up 9-7 lead in the second. Arland Bruce and Michael Campbell scored touchdowns for Montreal. Bruce caught a 32-yard pass from Calvillo for the first touchdown of the game, while Campbell caught a 47-yard bomb from Tanner Marsh in the third. Delbert Alvarado booted two field goals of 19 and 36 yards. Curtis Steele rushed for 87 yards on eight carries for Toronto. The game was the first meeting between the division rivals since the Argos won the Eastern Final at Montreals Olympic Stadium. The Argos host the Hamilton Tiger-Cats next Friday in their season opener, while the Als battle the Blue Bombers in Winnipeg in their opener on Thursday.

TORONTO -- One of hockeys most intense rivalries played itself out in a chess match Tuesday as Sweden edged Finland 2-0 in the World Cup of Hockey.The Swedes improved to a perfect 2-0-0 while Finland dropped to 0-2-0. The Finns only chance to reach the semifinals now is if theres a three-way tie in their group -- at 1-2-0 -- with Russia and the North America youngsters. Finland also likely would need to beat the Russians by a wide margin.On Tuesday, both Sweden and Finland played a calculated, defense-first game at Air Canada Centre, each waiting for the other team to make mistakes. You could feel the tension between the rivals, and it certainly was a physical affair, with offensive chances few and far between.The Sedin twins helped produce the games first goal midway through the second period. From the corner, Daniel Sedin fed the puck over to brother Henrik Sedin behind the net. Henrik then deftly fed an oncoming Anton Stralman in front. The Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman put it behind Finland goalie?Tuukka Rask for the 1-0 lead.?Loui Eriksson?would add an empty-net goal to make it 2-0, but Stralmans score was all the defending Olympic silver medalists needed behind Henrik Lundqvist.The veteran New York Rangers star was terrific in goal for Sweden, making 36 saves in his first tournament appearance after missing the opener because of the flu.One off his better saves was a flashing of the glove on a blast from Finnish phenom Patrik Laine in the middle period.ddddddddddddThese two teams dont like each other, and it showed in some post-whistle scrums and a few big hits, most notably Finlands Sami Lepisto crushing Mikael Backlund in the third period. The Swedish forward had his head down as he carried the puck out of his zone.Finland has won back-to-back Olympic bronze medals, but in this tournament its lacking the offensive depth to play at that same level. The Finns power play was predictable again Tuesday, way too easy to defend.Meanwhile, Sweden, a team most likely to rival Canada for the World Cup title, has played a pair of defensive gems, limiting Russia to one goal in the opener before shutting out Finland on Tuesday.Three Stars1. Henrik Sedin, Sweden: Just a superb feed for the goal. The Vancouver Canucks captain, like his brother, has been dynamite through two games.2. Henrik Lundqvist, Sweden: What flu bug? King Henrik looked like his old self Tuesday -- which was a relief for Sweden after he got lit up in exhibition play.3.?Anton Stralman, Sweden: Such an underrated player. The Lightning veteran made such a smart read in deciding to pinch in for that goal. ' ' '
