SAINT PAUL, Minn. -- New Minnesota Wild coach Bruce Boudreau likes his teams to play up-tempo, high-energy hockey. Its a hallmark he established during successful stints in Washington and Anaheim, which he hopes to show Minnesota fans on Saturday when the Wild hosts the Winnipeg Jets in their home opener.If Boudreaus team is able to play that high-scoring, up-tempo style, it will be something Wild fans havent often seen, and something they definitely havent seen this season. The Wild comes home with a 0-1-0 mark after a generally lifeless 3-2 loss to the Blues in St. Louis on Thursday night, which had even Boudreau admitting his teams effort wasnt there.We were a step behind all night long, Boudreau said, after the Wild managed just two shots in the opening 20 minutes and went 0-for-5 on the power play.Those doldrums stand in sharp contrast to the Jets, who made NHL history in their season opener on Thursday in Winnipeg, becoming just the third team in league history to win its season opener after trailing by three goals in the third period. Winnipeg fell behind 4-1 to Carolina in the third before rallying for a 5-4 overtime win.Ironically, the last team to accomplish that feat was Minnesota, just last season. The Wild trailed 4-1 in the third period at Colorado in the 2015-16 season opener, and stormed back to win 5-4.This young Jets team, which has made the playoffs just once and has not won a playoff game since moving to Winnipeg from Atlanta in 2011, got some signs of a bright future in the comeback, including the first NHL goal from rookie right winger Patrik Laine, who the Jets plucked second overall in last summers draft.It was an amazing feeling, said Laine, who stands 6-5 and is expected to be an imposing force at forward for the Jets this season and into the future. You score your first NHL goal just once, so it was nice to get it in the first game. It was amazing to feel the atmosphere at the rink.After having the hot-and-cold Ondrej Pavelec in goal since the days they were the Thrashers, the Jets have undertaken a youth movement in the crease as well, putting Pavelec on waivers and inserting youngster Connor Hellebuyck for the opening-night start. With all of that youth in important roles, Jets coach Paul Maurice said the first win, and the first road trip, are important learning opportunities for players more used to major junior and/or college hockey.Its a different league, its a different style of game and its a hard game to play in, Maurice said. The confidence goes a long way.The season-opening loss for Minnesota was a rarity. The Wild had gone 9-4-2 in their previous 15 openers, which was the highest points percentage in NHL history. With Boudreau still learning how to coach this team, and the team still learning how to play for him, the ability to bounce back will get an early test versus Winnipeg.China NHL Jerseys .

Adidas NHL Jerseys Wholesale . PAUL, Minn.Robert Allenby has returned to Australia ready to revive his tour golf career and silence critics after enduring a year from hell - on course and off.Allenby on Wednesday revealed hed contemplated quitting a thousand times while dealing with mental torment of not wanting to be seen in public which precipitated his steep career slide over the past two years.But the 45-year-old says hes finally emerged from the darkest period of his life ready to reclaim full playing rights on the US PGA Tour.Allenby, a 20-year US tour veteran who has earned a tick under $40 million in America, banked just $33,070 in a dismal 2016 season in which he survived just two cuts in 23 events.The alarming decline has left him with only conditional US tour status - and likely a maximum of eight tour events - for 2017.Allenby admits his infamous Hawaii episode in January last year, when he suspected he was drugged at a bar and reported being beaten and robbed when blacked out, precipitated his fall due to the image battering he endured.A local man was later jailed for using Allenbys missing credit cards.That was by far the lowest point. Just the attention that it caused, said Allenby on the eve of teeing up in the NSW Open at Stonecutters Ridge in Sydney..I still stick by my story because detectives and myself know and even today its the same story.People dont even know that the guys in jail for what happened to me in Hawaii.Allenby said a story on the Golf Channel about the Hawaii episode - which he claimed was full or errors - sent him spiralling towards depression.Not to apologise when they were wrong made it pretty tough, he said.Made it that I didnt want to be out of the golf course, didnt want to be seen - didnt want to be seen in public.It really became a very stressful thing for me and thats when the reality of quitting was really high on the list.ddddddddddddIts only through my wife Kym and my kids and my family that it just pulled me back.Otherwise I would have gone a year ago. No question.I would have found my own little hole and just stayed in it for the rest of my life.Allenby was also shattered at having people I thought were close friends telling him he should no longer be involved in his own charity - which has earned almost $30 million for children with cancer.I started that when I was 20 and now Im 45, he said.My whole reason why I went into it was because my buddy died when he was 13. We were both the same age.At the end of the day, Ive done a lot more good than bad.I havent killed anyone. I havent taken drugs - apart from being drugged - and I really havent done a lot wrong.Were all humans and humans make mistakes. Whether I made a mistake that was caused by me, I will always own up to it so youve got to live with it too.Hopefully others will live with it too.Allenby, who was involved in a public spat with an Australian caddie after sacking him mid-round last year, described an incident where he was removed from a US casino this year while reportedly intoxicated as just a farce.That was bullsh-t. Got dropped straight away, he said.The only player in history to win Australian golfs Triple crown - the Open, Masters and PGA in the same season - says hes now at peace with himself and the world.While conceding hed love to prove the critics wrong, his chief motivation this summer is to win the Australasian tours Order of Merit to gain exemption into next years British Open and, most importantly, more tournaments in the US.
