...of this year's Draft. In today's NHL, goaltenders are getting bigger and bigger.

... power play opportunities. Only Adam Henrique had a better penalty differential than Carter, so that's pretty impressive. He always keeps his FEET moving and does a good job of getting under the skin of opponents, so naturally you'd think he'd draw his fair share of calls. It's not surpr...

... and Carter, and then two very strong centers backing them up in Stoll and Richards. All four have been incredible on the draw, all four can play 200 FEET of the ice, and all four are capable (Okay maybe not Stoll) of taking over a shift.

In his draft year he went 61GP, 10-38-48 but he stands only 6 FEET tall and less than 200lbs, so the Oilers overlooked him.

The Hawks' stars love Shaw and a few of them pumped the kid's tires to the Blackhawks' website on ...

If a team wants to run around and go for big hits, look out, because the puck is coming back your way very fast. Same thing if they w...

Berube felt that the undersized defenseman was not consistent enough in using the things he does well -- moving his FEET, triggering the rush and making intelligent pinches from the point -- to justify having a third small defenseman in a lineup that already featur...
