...ending. He hit him late and high with a shoulder to the head. Fortunately, he was close enough to the boards where he didn't fly into it from several FEET away or it could have been even worse than the concussion it looked like he suffered. At least in this case, Seabrook will have a phone hearing, ...
...ll and speed cause him to spontaneously combust. The NHL should just hand MacKinnon the Rookie Of The Year trophy now. Watch as he takes the puck 180 FEET for a masterful goal. That ladies and gentleman is the first of many NHL playoff goals for the 18 year old wizard. *** Blues...
...The story of this game will the head-hunting hit from Brent Seabrook on Blues captain David Backes. Backes was behind the net, the puck about ten FEET away from him, and Seabrook came flying in and delivered a shoulder to the head of Backes. Seabrook targets the head, making it the principle poi...
...rst game was something special and now we know what to expect so we can prepare a little better maybe. "I think we have to skate more and move our FEET. We were standing still too much, and we have too much skill and too much speed to play like that. That's something we want to fix tonight. We wa...
...round. Cooper now faces an interesting choice: Start Gudlevskis in the lion's den in Montreal, or turn back to Lindback, who's managed to get his FEET wet, and did somewhat improve on his first performance? As for Ben Bishop, it's hard to imagine him suiting up when he hasn't faced a shot in...
...irst day as Flyers' head coach, Craig Berube emphasized this theme on a team-wide basis: skate quicker, think quicker. When the Flyers move their FEET and focus on getting numbers on the opposition, they do not look like a slow team. They don't look like a team that failed Passing 101 or a squad...
...re skewed. My grandfather had the best possible angle to see whether or not Boudreau's glove was actually tagging Masi, and the umpire was only a few FEET away. To his dying day in 1964, Bill Stewart Sr. always insisted that he made the right call on the play. One time when I was very young, I a...
...h of the sorts of things that create power play chances. New York simply won too many of the battles around the puck and the Flyers didn't have their FEET moving consistently enough to draw penalties. 2. The Flyers were a very good penalty killing team for most of the season, but the PK really le...
...to the Flyers. Ryan McDonagh has emerged as one of the top two-way defensemen in the NHL. He has always been a good defender and skater with quick FEET and a strong stick, but his offensive game (14 goals, 43 points) took another step ahead this season. McDonagh missed the latter part of the stre...
...hing off of it. I’m sure our fans are going to be thrilled. I expect our fans to give us a standing ovation when we jump on the ice and be on their FEET at the start of the game. This is a great moment. This is a great time for us." ***** Here's the feature story I wrote on Semyon Varlamov t...
... who gets a lot more verbal from Western Conference teams than those out on the East Coast, but the Oilers love this kid. He isnt huge at just over 6 FEET tall but his frame is large and he can bulk up relatively easily. The German born Draisaitl captained his country at the most recent WJHC and lea...
...' hopes: 1) Marian Hossa, RW People keep writing him off and he keeps proving over and over he's still one of the game's best players over 200 FEET of ice. Plus, he was healthy all year and often looked ten years younger than his age (35). People also forget he was hurt in last year's playoff...
... in this season and showing marked improvement after a very difficult start, he obviously was not ready to shoulder the starter role until he got his FEET under him in January, fixing his penchant for giving up the one “softie” in every game. He finally increased his comfort level and posted win...
... Dallas took over the game in the second period against the injury-riddled Blues, and never looked back again. Trevor Daley brought the crowd to its FEET as he sped off on a breakaway, put a shift on Ryan Miller (37 saves on 40 shots) and lifted the puck home on the backhand for the defenseman's ca...
...th Steven Stamkos on the ice and becomes a goal. In the third period, Downie inexplicably loses his man, leaving Eric Brewer alone - no one within 10 FEET of him _ for a critical goal that ices the game. I liked how Wayne Simmonds indirectly called out Downie, referring to "bonehead" plays made i...
...the player did not make good use of the things he does well. In order to stay in the lineup, Gustafsson needs to do two things better: 1) Move his FEET more consistently to take advantage of his mobility and ability to trigger the rush, 2) Compensate for his lack of physical strength through stro...
...the Red Wings to commit, this opens up possibilities. Another reason these 10 foot passes are available is because the defensemen who can move their FEET can change the angle of the passing lane which opens up these opportunities. The players who can’t move their FEET are forced into hard rims t...
...d. With his team leading 4-0 in the third period, Rinaldo came at Ruhwedel with speed and launched himself at the Buffalo player. Rinaldo left his FEET and led with his elbow. For his actions, Rinaldo got a five-minute match penalty and the ensuing four-game suspension. He will be back for the...
..." Murray seemed to fit right in with that model when at the 2014 trade deadline he brought in three prospects all of which are around at least six FEET tall and weigh in at nearly 200 lbs or more. Some of the players Nolan is coaching now will be a part of the future as well and they fit into ...
... of attention to defensive detail, though, the Flyers remained strong. They need to continue playing well on both sides of the puck and to keep their FEET moving with strong puck pressure. If they do that, the goals will start coming again. Whether Steve Mason starts in goal or not, he adheres t...
