...up points -- a team high 10 points (three goals, seven assists) in 11 games -- but there has also been progress in his all-around game by keeping his FEET moving more consistency. With that said, he still has some lapses where he reverts to the "glide mentality" and he still some slip ups in dis...
...get for his more skilled linemates (Dal Colle and Cassels). He has 7PPG's (2nd in OHL) this season already and as you would expect, most are within 2 FEET of the goalie. There's still tons of room for improvement, but the his development curve has been pretty nice in a sharp upturn. In the end his s...
... in less than 2 periods together. Regardless, despite not scoring Gebe/Nash/Lindholm were absolutely phenomenal. All 3 are skating and moving their FEET and winning pucks all over the ice. 2) Huge depth scoring contributions. Zach Boychuk joined his former AHL buddies Rask and Terry in scoring...
...e time is slowly decreasing commensurate with his production, and lack there of. The only thing Nolan can do now is park Hodgson. Maybe a seat 150 FEET above the ice will help him to see the errors of his ways. Drew Stafford is now a center for the time being. After the skate, Nolan told Sa...
...eceived during each of last week’s four games. Completely Useless Advanced Stat Nail Yakupov’s Even Strength Average Shot Distance – 37.1 FEET Yakupov leads the Oilers in shots saved 5-on-5 (30). He also has the third-highest average shot distance (37.1 FEET) among regular Edmonton fo...
...r the rest of the game. Whatever was said in the locker room in the first intermission worked. It would have been easy for them to lay down at the FEET of a seemingly insurmountable climb but they continued to dig in and try to get back in the game. That’s the type of effort that you can build ...
...d fairly good, though part of that might have been due to their opponent. Chris Kreider had a strong game, while Stepan was able to start getting his FEET under him. That duo did not look out of place with Zuccarello, who had a goal and an assist. The top trio was okay, as Rick Nash with his marker ...
... 5 straight games, and going into Chicago last night was, as it is for every team, a little intimidating knowing they had to win to get back on their FEET again. Braden Holtby stopped 38-40 shots en route to a 3-2 Capitals win. After falling behind 2-0, the "cardiac Caps" scored 3 unanswered goa...
...d not look out of place. He was paired with Vincent Trocheck and converted defenseman Colby Robak on the fourth line for the first game, and got his FEET wet with 6:11 of ice time. The 5'6", 160 lbs. speedster was very effective with his puck handling and forechecking. He has zipped through and a...
...o tell on the replay whether or not Niemi's stick had made contact with the puck, yet somehow Miller's X-ray vision was able to pick that up from 200 FEET away? There's no doubt that the Canucks stole this game. We sure didn't steal very many last year. Shot attempts tonight were 79-23 for Sha...
...o go, we only get a few to go and they pull the goalie and we have guys in great position and it hits (Guenin's skate) and goes in. It was going four FEET wide. "The nice thing about it is we're so used to bounces by this point in the season and they don't really faze us anymore. We don't expect ...
... ice touched the puck in the sequence. It started out with Nicklas Grossmann in deep partially over-skating but playing the puck under pressure a few FEET over to Giroux. The captain sent the puck around the wall from behind the Flyers net and Simmonds pulling the puck off the wall on his backhand o...
... Bruins had 16 shot attempts and four goals during the closing span. Edmonton's 11:24 was a nightmare. Jeff Petry missed the net on a shot attempt 60 FEET from the goal, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins missed the target on a slapshot from 48 FEET out, and Justin Schultz had a shot blocked. The Oilers attempted ...
...year.” History is littered with former NHL coaches who couldn’t motivate players, and more than a couple who threw the team’s misfortune at the FEET of them. Adding up all the coaching deficiencies or questionable decisions, we can understand how the Oilers have lost twice as many games as ...
...alls (Hagelin high-stick to Danny DeKeyser stands out) and the bad calls (the supposed overtime trip by multi-time Lady Byng winner Pavel Datsyuk 180 FEET away from his own goal), it actually might be a Red Wing who faces supplementary discipline. Johan Franzen did not receive a penalty for wha...
...ots from the area. Generally the best chances come from the center of the ice from the top of the circles down and expanding like a thick arrow a few FEET on either side of the net. Couture vs Pavelski (Shots) Wingels vs Marleau (Shots) Marleau, Couture and Pavelski all take a signi...
...w Pew. Fasth is deep in his net because he was guarding against a potential wrap-around and keeping an eye on the fore-checker. No Oiler is within 15 FEET of Schenn because the puck should have already been moving up ice the other direction and all of Draisaitl, Yak, and Nikitin were supporting Hend...
...some insight on this or that. But that’s really it. At the end of the day, hockey is not a terribly complicated game. The team that moves their FEET, makes tape to tape passes, avoids bad turnovers, wins puck battles—usually wins hockey games. It’s not glamorous. But even a “finesse�...
...eded to keep the opposition playing more defense, and that will cut down on the chances and shots against, because after all it is tough to score 120 FEET from the net. That is all well and good, and I said after the last game that a lot of Senators rushes are of the "one and done" variety. But, i...
...wo major lineup questions. HALL Hall cut towards the net and Tanev drove him into the iron for a nasty spill. The team’s best player left his FEET and that might have been the difference between a few weeks and the entire season. In mid-air his knee collided with the post and he went tumblin...
