CALGARY, Alberta -- Fresh off their 1-0 road win over Minnesota Wild, the Calgary Flames will look to keep things rolling when they host the Arizona Coyotes at the Scotiabank Saddledome on Wednesday. Nike Shoes From China Online .Left winger Johnny Gaudreau scored the lone goal for the Flames (6-10-1) against the Wild on Tuesday night, while goalie Chad Johnson stopped all 27 shots he faced for his fifth career shutout.After the game, Flames coach Glen Gulutzan told reporters that hes anxious to see how his players will respond less than 24 hours later in front of their hometown fans against the Coyotes.Sometimes those things, you can get off to a good start because youve kind of got your motor already running, said Gulutzan. We cant look at our situation as far as a negative. Weve just got to go in and do the same thing another night against an Arizona team that is waiting for us. Weve got to be strong mentally now and just push through these things.Whether or not he gets the start against Arizona or if Gulutzan chooses to go back to netminder Brian Elliott, Johnson said the Flames have to bring the same intensity and focus to playing the Coyotes that they had against the Wild.You have to sort of refocus and you cant get too high or too low, said Johnson. Well just have to enjoy now as quickly as possible and then refocus for tomorrow, so itll be a tough game.The win over the Wild snapped a four-game losing streak for the Flames, who were without the services of Gaudreau late in the third period.I dont have any update on Johnny, said Gulutzan. I know he took a couple of slashes ... well see when I talk to the guys, how he is.Meanwhile, the Coyotes (5-9-0) havent played since dropping a 2-1 decision to the Boston Bruins at home on Saturday night.They received some good news on Tuesday when coach Dave Tippett said he expects that center Martin Hanzal and goalie Mike Smith will return to action during their quick road trip to play the Flames in Calgary on Wednesday and the Canucks in Vancouver the next night.Theyre both going to accompany us on the trip, Tippett told Fox Sports Arizona on Tuesday. Both of them had a good, hard practise again today. If there are no repercussions tomorrow morning and theyre ready to go, well put em in.Smith hasnt played since Oct. 18 -- a span of 12 games -- since sustaining an injury to his left knee, while Hanzal has missed the past six contests with an upper-body injury.Theyre two good veteran players, said Tippett, while noting that the plan is for Smith and fellow goalie Louis Domingue to split the two games on the road trip. Anytime you get your No. 1 goalie back, that gives your club a boost. And Marty Hanzal, we know the importance he has on our team as a centerman just to stabilize us in that position.To make room for Hanzal and Smith on the roster, the Coyotes assigned rookie center Christian Dvorak and goalie Justin Peters to the Tucson Roadrunners of the American Hockey League on Tuesday.If the Coyotes want to climb out of last place in the Western Conference, theyll have to find a way to replicate the success that the Flames had on the road against the Wild.We need to raise our desperation and compete, defenseman Connor Murphy said. We need to turn it around before things slip away from us. Fake Nike Shoes From China . All of the scoring came in the final 20:04. Lucic scored on a power play at 15:46 of the third period, when he tipped a shot over Stars goalie Kari Lehtonen for a 3-1 lead. Fake Nike Shoes ., and Rudi Swiegers of Kipling, Sask., took sixth spot on Saturday in pairs at the NHK Trophy ISU Grand Prix figure skating competition. https://www.nikeshoeschina.us/ .Y. -- Syracuse has turned up the defence at the right time all season, and when High Point threatened to pull off a monumental upset the second-ranked Orange did what they do best with their quick hands and savvy play. The Chittagong Test has become a prime example for Bangladesh on how to benefit by giving deeper thought to their bowling attack. In other words, the team hierarchy gave more priority to a winning approach rather than settling for a draw.Enforcing their game plan on England, who were playing their first Test in the subcontinent since 2012, was itself an encouraging sign. It was hardly a gamble, though. Apart from Shakib Al Hasan, there was hardly any other reason for the visitors to really fear the Bangladesh attack going into the match.They ended up taking 20 wickets in the game for only the ninth time in their Test history (though this was the first time that they did so in a loss). The three-man spin attack made all the running, taking 18 of the wickets to fall. It was quite obvious that the management would put more emphasis on making sure that the spinners got the best use of a sporting pitch, the best condition of the ball and for them to bowl at almost every juncture. Unlike England, there was no team effort to ensure the ball was maintained for reverse swing because there was hardly any trust put on the two pace bowlers, Kamrul Islam Rabbi and Shafiul Islam.Their success was mostly due to the trio of spinners - Shakib, Taijul Islam and Mehedi Hasan - and despite the ineffectiveness of Rabbi and Shafiul.Shakib led the pack superbly by finishing with seven wickets in 52 overs, which included his 150th in Tests. His steadiness through his consistent use of the shoulder and the crease, subtle variety that includes short bursts of spin on the ball and endurance in bowling marathon spells regularly, has been the bedrock of Bangladeshs bowling for the last eight years. It was at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, on the day before the Test against New Zealand in 2008, when Jamie Siddons pronounced Shakib as the leader of the bowling attack in Bangladeshs first Test after Mohammad Rafiques retirement.Shakib responded with 7 for 36 in the first innings of that game and, since then, he has been the attacker, the stock bowler and the end-blocker in nearly every Test. Because of his quality, specialist spinners in Bangladesh line-ups are often called the second spinner, among whom Taijul moved past Sohag Gazi as the highest wicket-taker during this Test.Taijul, who is slightly different to the conventional Bangladeshi left-arm spinner with his high jump before landing on the crease, has big fingers which help him control the amount of spin he wants to impart on the ball. He picked up four wickets in this game, and was the most economical among the three spinners. He has shown the consistent ability to hold up one end, which is what Bangladesh has always looked for in a second spinner bowling opposite Shakib.Bangladesh also got a glimpse of Mehedi, the debutant offspinner who finished with seven wickets in the game. Coming off a simple action, Mehedi produced heavy turn on the ball. Ben Duckett found out first hand when he went to defend a ball pitched on leg stump but saw it turn back to hit the inside half of the off stump. It was a remarkable way to pick up a first Test wicket, and Mehedi finished with 6 for 80 in the first innings.His ability to make full use of the brand new ball, and then doing the conventional spinners duty of bowling with the old ball was impressive, and so was his attitude on the field. He looked eager to be listening in on conversations that involved the senior bowlers. His hunger has been talked about widely in the domestic circuit, where he usually partners left-arm spinner Abdur Razzak for Khulna Division in the first-class competition.A run-out accounted for one of the other two England wickets in Chittagong. Cheap Nike Shoes From China. The other one went to Rabbi, who was also making his Test debut. It was the only wicket that went to the pace bowlers, who accounted for 28 overs in total, giving away 108 runs. Shafiul was the only one given the new ball, but bowled just four overs with it. Shakib, Mehedi and Taijul were the bowlers mainly entrusted with the new ball.The trend will continue in the second Test for which Bangladesh have picked the uncapped seamer Subashis Roy. If he makes his debut in Dhaka, he will be part of one of Bangladeshs least experience new-ball attacks with Kamrul Islam Rabbi having played just the one Test. But theres no guarantee that both will be picked, or whether any one of them will get the new ball.England also handed the new ball to their spinners but, unlike Bangladeshs quicks, the likes of Stuart Broad and Ben Stokes generated much reverse swing in both innings, tellingly on the final day when Taijul and Shafiul were victims of late movement into their pads.According to Bangladeshs captain, Mushfiqur Rahim, there is a dearth of pace bowlers in the country who can offer variety in the longer version, especially bowling with the old ball. He said that it would be foolish to expect bowlers like Shafiul and Rabbi to have skills mastered by Englands seam attack. He suggested that Al-Amin Hossain and Rubel Hossain, both of whom have Test bowling averages over 75, wouldnt have made much of a difference. Al-Amin and Rubel also dont have an extraordinary Test record, he said. Does anyone know how many first-class bowlers we have who can bowl well with the old ball? It is hard to find such a bowler. If you look at a scorecard from our first-class competitions, you will invariably see a spinner taking a five-for and the pace bowlers taking one or two wickets.If a bowler doesnt know how to set up a batsman, and bowl according to the field, then you cant expect him to do it at the Test level. It is easy for guys like Broad and Stokes who have been doing it for years. I dont think Shafiul and Kamrul bowled that badly. It was a learning experience for them, and they realised that they need to know how to bowl with the old ball.Mushfiqur said that the Chittagong pitch suited their game plan, which wasnt always the case in previous Tests at home. [Zahid Reza] Babu bhai made an outstanding wicket. I think this is the first time that we played on a surface which suited our game plan, he said.Our bowlers did a great job. If we could have played on such wickets in domestic cricket, we could have prepared differently for this game. But still, we took 20 wickets which I see as a positive sign.The question mark on Bangladeshs first-class structure crops up every time a Test is lost, and even on the rare occasions when they win or draw. At other times, it is called picnic cricket because that is all it has been sine 1999 - a big picnic where the players get together to play for three months in various towns, get less pay than they do in the Dhaka Premier League and only focus on personal records rather than enriching the four-day game or the competition.There is little effort being made to cleanse this attitude, with most of the interest in Bangladesh cricket lying with one-dayers and T20s. Test cricket, as a result, suffers. But a Test match like the one in Chittagong gives more reasons to take it seriously, and plug the large holes in the make-up of the team. Taking 20 wickets against England is a good start, and Bangladesh must look at ways to maintain this performance. ' ' '
