FRANKFURT - Having advanced to the knockout stage in the Champions League,
Bayern Munich is looking to successfully conclude a good week when it travels to
Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga on Saturday.
Nike Roshe Run Aanbieding .Eintracht has lost
its last three games, while Bayern is riding high. It beat Borussia Dortmund 2-1
last weekend in the Bundesliga and then eased past Roma 2-0 in the Champions
League to make sure of advancing and topping its group.Its closest followers,
Wolfsburg and Borussia Moenchengladbach, are four points behind. Wolfsburg hosts
Hamburger SV, which is showing signs of revival, while Moenchengladbach visits
next-to-last Dortmund, which has lost five straight.Here are some things to know
ahead of the Bundesliga weekend.___BAYERN A DISASTER?At least in one area,
Bayern coach Pep Guardiola thinks his team is a disaster — in creating goals
from corners. In 10 matches so far in the Bundesliga, Bayern has not scored
after a corner.We are a disaster and we have to improve there, the perfectionist
coach said.Guardiola insists that his team is still not at its peak.We need to
play better, we can never be satisfied, that would be a big mistake. We can
always play better, Guardiola said after the victory over Roma.Not good news for
Frankfurt.___WOLFSBURGS RISEEver since winning the title surprisingly in 2009,
Wolfsburg has been trying unsuccessfully to establish itself as a Champions
League team. It may be closing in on its goal this season.One of the reasons for
its good run (six consecutive victories in all competitions), is the playmaker
Kevin de Bruyne. The Belgium international tops the league with seven assists,
and also has one goal.I am a winner, I am here to win every match, said de
Bruyne, who failed to make an impact in Chelsea. No player can play a perfect
game, but I try it every time.Coach Dieter Hecking says the Belgian is no world
champion in training but is always eager to play.He is the one who can make the
difference in a match, Hecking acknowledged.___CHANGING ROLESWhile Dortmund is
battling to escape from the relegation zone, Moenchengladbach is playing some of
the best football in the league. Moenchengladbach gave Bayern a tough test in a
0-0 draw and is the only other undefeated team.Dortmund is hoping to take some
of the momentum from the Champions League into the domestic competition. With
four wins in four games, Dortmund has advanced in Europe. Dortmund led against
Bayern last week before a couple of errors allowed Bayern to come back for a 2-1
victory.Moenchengladbach has a young, exciting team resembling The Foals of the
1970s, who dominated the league and won five titles.Christoph Kramer, Max Kruse,
Andre Hahn and Patrick Herrmann are the stars of the team and its fast-paced
attacking style, along with Raffael, a Brazilian playmaker.___TOP SCORER, BOTTOM
CLUBFranco di Santo is one of the four players leading the Bundesliga with six
goals apiece. That is remarkable seeing that his team, Werder Bremen, has only
one victory and is last in the standings.He is a leader who is good for us,
teammate Felix Kroos said of the Argentine. Di Santo is also popular because of
his sunny disposition and positive attitude.Its important, especially in bad
times, di Santo said of his good mood despite Bremens dire situation. Di Santo
has settled in in his second season and also benefits from a change of formation
since new coach Viktor Skripnik started playing with two forwards.___PADERBORN
SURPRISEWith 15 points from 10 matches and seventh place, promoted Paderborn is
arguably the biggest surprise of the season so far.The small club has the fifth
best attack with 16 goals. But coach Andre Breitenreiter remains cautious.We
only have 15 points. Thats only a good basis to avoid relegation, not more, said
the coach, who is credited with Paderborns success because of his flexible
tactics.But defender Patrick Ziegler thinks his team has more substanceAfter 10
matches, you cant talk about beginners luck any more. We are here to stay, he
said optimistically.Paderborn travels to Augsburg, another small club that
manages to stay in the league with limited means.

Jordan 6 Infrared Kopen . -- Theres nothing
like winning to bring hope for a struggling team.TORONTO -- The Toronto Maple
Leafs resume their post-Olympic NHL schedule next Thursday when they visit the
New York Islanders but whether injured forward Dave Bolland is in the lineup
remains uncertain. Bollands agent Anton Thun says the Mimico, Ont., native still
needs one more doctors visit to get final clearance to return to game action.
While the rest of his teammates headed for vacation destinations during the
Olympic break, Bolland spent his time skating with his former junior team, the
London Knights. "I was inside, you can tell by my tan," Bolland joked Thursday.
"I was mostly inside the rink doing my rehab and trying to get back in that game
mode. "Its close. Getting there. Im on my way upward." Bolland, who has been out
since Nov. 2 recovering from a skate cut to his left ankle, travelled with the
team on their final pre-Olympic road trip to Florida and Tampa Bay. At the time,
coach Randy Carlyle said there was a 50 per cent chance Bolland could play but
following Thursdays first post-Olympic-break practice, the forward was still
dealing with pain. "Youre always going to feel the pain," said Bolland, who
still participated in a full practice, including a 10-minute bag skate. "I know
coming off the ice every day youre feeling pain and its always aching and
bugging you. Its never going to be fine. I know every day I come off the ice, Im
always in the trainers room getting ice." Dion Phanneuf knows what Bolland is
going through, having dealt with his own skate cut during the 2010-11 season.

Phaneuf had his MCL severed by a skate during a game against the Philadelphia
Flyers and missed nearly a month. "Any time you come back from any injury, you
want to test it in a game because games are a lot different than practice,"
Phaneuf said. "You can ask any guy that comes back from anything . . . game
speed is different than in practice. It takes you a little while to get back to
feeling 100 per cent but Im sure hes going to come back . . . I just know when
we get him back its a big boost for our team." When Bolland does return, Carlyle
said he would be eased into the lineup, likely sparing him from penalty-killing
duties. However, the addition of Bolland gives Carlyle added depth. "Any time
you can add of that calibre, it does change the makeup of your lineup," said the
coach. "We think that Bolland and Mason Raymond and whoever we decide to put
there (gives) us a 2A and a 2B type of offensive numbers. Thats what were really
looking for." Prior to the injury, Bolland was on pace for his best season with
six goals and 10 points in 15 games. But after missing 45 games, he doesnt
expect to pick up where he left off. "My expectations will be a little bit lower
and things wont be as high but I know gradually, the first two or three games,
Ill be back in the mix."
