TORONTO -- The Toronto Maple Leafs return home from a three-game road trip on Wednesday at the Air Canada Centre when they face the Minnesota Wild, who will be wrapping up a five-game trip of their own.Toronto finished its trip 1-1-1 and Minnesota is 1-1-2 on its tour. Both teams defeated the Edmonton Oilers on their trips.The Maple Leafs (10-9-5) have been at their best at home (8-3-0) and Wild coach Bruce Boudreau, who was born in Toronto and once played with the Leafs, has noticed.Ive watched their home games, and when theyre on, youd better be ready to play, Boudreau said Tuesday. Theyre going to be very good, very soon. Its not going to take too long for these guys to be extremely good.The Wild (12-8-4) has held its own in road games, going 5-5-4. When the trip ends Wednesday the Wild will have played five more games on the road than at home.Boudreau does not want his team to suffer a letdown in its last game of a long trip.I hope it doesnt happen in this city, he said. I have enough trouble winning in Toronto (4-5-3 as a coach and 0-3-1 in the past four visits) when I come, so I hope were ready to play. Were coming off a pretty good win in Edmonton (2-1 in overtime on Sunday) and wed like to continue this because then well have a good stretch at home.The key for the Wild is the goaltender of Devan Dubnyk, who leads the NHL with a save percentage of .945 and in shutouts with four and is second in goals-against average at 1.63.He has given us a chance every night, Boudreau said. Hes been spectacular.The Maple Leafs are pleased with their starting goaltender, Frederik Andersen, who played for Boudreau with the Anaheim Ducks, but are searching for a reliable backup.They have taken a step in this direction by clearing goaltender Jhonas Enroth through waivers and assigning him to the Marlies of the AHL.Called up from the Marlies was up 22-year-old prospect Antoine Bibeau, who will back up Anderson on Wednesday.The long-term solution appears to be Karri Ramo, the former Calgary Flames goaltender, who has been cleared to play after recovering from a knee injury and has signed a tryout contract with the Marlies.Maple Leafs coach Mike Babcock would like to be able to give Andersen more games off than Enroth enabled him to get with his lack of performance.I think weve given (Andersen) a pretty good workload at this point, Babcock said. Hes played 21 games. Wed like the backup to play 20 games.The highest number of games in which Andersen has played in one season is 54 in 2014-15.I remember playing up to about 20 games straight, Andersen said. That was a good learning curve, playing every night and getting used to that workload both mentally and physically. There are so many different mindsets -- playing every night, playing now and then. Youve got to be able to switch your mindset every night and be ready for every shot.Andersen struggled in his first few games of this season and had some sympathy for Enroth, who lost his job after four starts.I didnt get in a groove for my first four or five starts, Andersen said. For him, it was tough. But you have to make the best of it. Hes a good guy to have around.With the Marlies, Bibeau is 6-5-5 with a 2.54 goals-against average and a .907 save percentage.Maple Leafs center Nazem Kadri did not skate with the team Tuesday because he was ill. Center Peter Holland was not at the workout either as he awaits a trade.Minnesota has reassigned right winger Zack Mitchell and defenseman Gustav Olofsson to the Iowa Wild of the AHL.

Discount Sports Jerseys . -- For the first time in two months, an opponent was standing up to Alabama. Aparna Popat (Nine-time national champion and Gopichands former teammate)I believe sometime in 2009 just after Saina Nehwal had turned into the toast of Indian badminton an event that both she and Gopi were attending in Mumbai had stretched close to 10:30pm, her bedtime. All it took was one look from Gopi for Saina to promptly leave. Thats the kind of control he has always had over his players. He was very hard on himself as a player and is also tough on those who train under him. To perform at the highest level that kind of discipline is absolutely essential. Its more about understanding and knowing players needs than control. Hes very intelligent, astute and sharp and picks up stuff no one probably even noticed. Also, he never gave excuses after a loss - never blamed it on an injury or the conditions.Hes always ready to learn and never shies away from taking risks. Gopis passion and dedication towards the game is the same as it was during his playing days. So is the way he sets goals and plans towards them. He always did a little more and pushed a little harder than everyone else. If he lost he was probably a little more disappointed than everyone else. That little extra made all the difference.Sanjay Sharma (Former national champion, coach and co-author of Gopichands biography - Pullela Gopichand: The World Beneath His Feet)Simply put, hes the best coach in any sport that India has ever produced. Ive seen him as a player too when I was coaching the national side and his dedication and self-discipline hold true even today. I think one of his greatest contributions towards the sport has been to blood a fearless attitude among the players, training them in a way that it no longer matters who is on the other side of the net.He goes on diets along with players so that its easier for them to stick to it. For instance, a couple of years ago he asked Saina to stay away from pizza and ice-cream and he too did the same along with her for the six months. Even inn PV Sindhus case, he too stayed away from the kinds of food he didnt want her to have, even choosing not to dine out, because she wasnt allowed to do so.dddddddddddd Hes a hands-on coach who will do whatever it takes to make his players the best in the world.I think it was in 1994 after his knee surgery he was pretty much confined to the wheelchair for a while. Even then he didnt stay away from the sport. He would, sitting on the wheelchair, hit the shuttle on the wall, what we call wall practice. He asked Sindhu to do the same when she was injured last year. He asked her to get on the court, sit on a wheelchair and keep on hitting the shuttle at the wall so that she didnt lose touch of her strokes. He doesnt really allow anyone a peek into whats on his mind. He soft-spoken and will not argue if he differs with you but just put across his point and stick to his strategy. The fact that he left Prakash Padukones academy as a player and went on to play on his own at SAI, Bangalore before winning the All-England title takes a lot of guts and self-belief. I had major problems writing his biography because hes quite an introvert and wouldnt open up. The work which would have taken me no more than a year took one and a half years and at least seven weekends in Hyderabad. Making him talk is quite a task.K Srikanth (Trains under Gopichand and is currently ranked No 11 in the world)Training under Gopi sir has turned me into a much more aggressive player than I ever was or thought I could be. Even the person I am today is largely because of his presence in my life. Hes very particular about my food habits or what I do during my free time. When the news of Narsingh Yadavs food being spiked broke, he turned doubly cautious and would personally monitor the food and water that me and Sindhu were to have. I owe everything that I am to him.
