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. Josh Allen Jersey . There are surprises among the Vezina candidates, but most of the others are standard top-tier performers, even if the two Hart Trophy runners-ups have never been quite as good as they have been through the first half of the season. Cody Ford Womens Jersey . Giroud, who wasnt in the starting lineup for two matches after allegations about his private life and a decline in form, scored twice in the first half. Tomas Rosickys chip made it 3-0 before half time at Emirates Stadium, while defender Laurent Koscielny scored an unmarked header in the second half. http://www.authenticbillsfanaticfootball.com/authentic-zay-jones-bills-jersey/ .

Former IBF flyweight champion Amnat Ruenroeng of Thailand won his first bout Monday at an Olympic qualifying tournament in Vargas, Venezuela.U.S. contenders Cam F. Awesome, Paul Kroll and Brandon Lynch lost their opening bouts, failing to earn spots at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics next month.The 36-year-old Ruenroeng fought at the Beijing Olympics, falling one win shy of a medal. Four years after mounting a successful professional career, he is one of just two moderately prominent pro boxers attempting to take advantage of the International Boxing Associations (AIBA) decision to allow pros to compete in the Olympics by jumping into the final qualifying tournament before Rio.Ruenroeng won his bout in Venezuela against Germanys Artur Bril, who fights in an AIBA-backed professional league. Ruenroeng lost his IBF title less than six weeks ago when John Riel Casimero stopped him.Awesome lost a decision to Ecuadorian heavyweight Julio Cesar Castillo Torres, who also beat him at the previous Olympic qualifying tournament in Azerbaijan last month. Awesome is a four-time U.S. national champion and a two-time Olympic trials champion, but he missed his first Olympic shot four years ago when he failed to complete his drug tests while still fighting under his birth name, Lenroy Thompson.Lost my fight today and now my Olympic run is over, the 27-year-old Awesome said in a post on his Twitter account. Time to re-re-reinvent myself and see whats next for me. It may not be boxing.Awesome has expressed skepticism about becoming a professional, preferring the Olympic-style version of the sport.Kroll also lost a 3-0 decision to Germanys Arajik Marutjan in a welterweight bout, ending the Philadelphia--based fighters Olympic hopes.ddddddddddddLynch lost a decision to Ukraines Rostyslav Arkhypenko in their super heavyweight bout.Six American men and two women have qualified for Rio, but that could be the full extent of the team representing the U.S., the most successful nation in Olympic boxing history.While Claressa Shields won a gold medal and Marlen Esparza earned a bronze during the debut Olympic womens boxing tournament in London, the U.S. men won no medals in 2012 and just one bronze medal in 2008. Andre Ward is the last American man to win a gold medal, although the current team has legitimate medal hopes with bantamweight Shakur Stevenson and flyweight Antonio Vargas.U.S. light heavyweight Jonathan Esquivel beat Bulgarias Spas Genov in his opening bout in Venezuela, but Esquivels path to Rio is now blocked in his next bout by 32-year-old Hassan NDam. The French-Cameroonian fighter who briefly held two versions of an interim middleweight title is attempting to earn another trip to the Olympics after losing in the quarterfinals in Athens 12 years ago.Ruenroeng and NDam are the only significantly accomplished pros attempting to win this final qualifying tournament for the Rio Games under the AIBA rule change, which has drawn widespread condemnation from many fighters and coaches.After drawing initial interest from several pros including Manny Pacquiao and Wladimir Klitschko, AIBAs gambit apparently has failed to attract any big-name boxers into the field. Most boxing observers believe more prominent pros will fight at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. ' ' '
