Paul Stewart: Slew Footing, Match Penalties and Aggressors

January 14, 2014 - 11:42 AM ET

...Weise blatantly slew-footed LA defenseman Drew Doughty. There was no doubt about the action or intent here: it was clearly not a case of two players' FEET getting tangled. Weise knew what he was doing and tried to injure Doughty. Slew-footing penalties are covered under Rule 52 of the current...

...s calm demeanor but its his career on the line now and its nice to see some fire. Maybe standing up to Malkin will remind him that he happens to be 7 FEET tall and he can stop giving up the top of the net. There was another much talked about sequence from that Pens game I want to touch on as wel...

Ty Anderson: Eriksson, Thornton return tonight

January 11, 2014 - 5:38 PM ET

...n he takes the ice tonight. It's not an ideal situation, really. You're going to wince, hold your breath, and pray any time somebody comes within six FEET of Eriksson, and you're going to have to put him in situations where he's able to be protected, however you think you can. Spoiler: This is h...

Paul Stewart: Selling the Call: My Issues With NHL Replay System

January 9, 2014 - 12:46 PM ET

...er the fact and say something was the right or wrong call after endless replays. However, positioning sells calls and this was great positioning: 10 FEET away with a perfect angle to see the play. In this case, the referee making the call on the ice is more believable than eight unseeen guys eat...

January 8, 2014 - 1:26 PM ET

...ill a fraction of what it could have been. When the shootout began, one hardy soul over in the club seats started imploring people to get on their FEET and show some emotion. It was a tough sell—maybe because we're predisposed to disaster in shootouts? He had some success, but it made me realiz...

...lashbacks to the time I was in the minors and having a rough spell and wondering if I'm ever going to get up here. It's nice, but no way can I put my FEET up and get comfortable. There's something special brewing here and I couldn't be more thrilled to be part of it." ...

GARTH'S CORNER: LaFontaine Ready To Hire GM?

January 7, 2014 - 2:58 PM ET

...ghost town right now. Personally, I left downtown at 1pm and headed north and it took me nearly two hours to drive fourteen miles. I couldn't see two FEET in front of my car as I drove 5 mph. There are dozens of disabled cars stranded on the interstate and on side streets. The winds are whipping lik...

Matt Henderson: Picking My Team Canada

...amkos: This one makes me crazy. If he was healthy he would be a no-brainer. Injured and he’s a liability. Even at 80% he’ll be a good player, but FEET tend to be somewhat important to hockey players. I think he’s a riskier pick than most do. Perry: Canada’s highest scoring natural RW. He�...

Ty Anderson: Wheeler over Ryan

January 5, 2014 - 10:46 PM ET

...l month of November -- a leg up on the rest? “Probably my ability to skate. The size and speed factor with the big ice, having that extra couple FEET, that width, I don’t think you can ever discount having speed on that so I think that worked in my favor,” Wheeler said when pressed about wh...

Todd Cordell: Game 42: Chicago Blackhawks @ New Jersey Devils

January 3, 2014 - 11:53 AM ET

...hicago Blackhawks are a dominant 5 vs 5 team and their power play is spectacular, so it's important for the Devils to stay disciplined and keep their FEET moving. If they use the speed they do have, they should be able to draw a few penalties. Given the Blackhawks' struggles while down a man this se...

...player's foot came forward and directed the puck? A "kick" could be accidental. For example, have you ever dropped an object in the vicinity of your FEET while you're walking, went to pick it up and then accidentally knocked it further away with your foot? In the case of the Alfredsson goal, i...

...r making his own good luck, the puck went directly to Brayden Schenn, who scored on a quick turn-around shot from the middle. Had Schenn not kept his FEET moving, peeling off the perimeter to go to an open area over the middle as Meszaros went to shoot, the puck would have dribbled harmlessly to the...

... have to score, which I haven't been doing," McGinn said. "I have to put the puck in the back of the net, it's plain and simple." McGinn, who is 6-FEET-1 and 210 pounds, also needs to play a physical game and create space for Duchene and O'Reilly. "They're really skilled players and I just hav...

Rick Sadowski: Avs lose late in OT, Parenteau hurts knee

December 30, 2013 - 1:55 AM ET

...hey had a lot of good chances. I just feel right now we are relying a little too much on him. We have to be better in our end and we have to move our FEET a little more." Varlamov didn't have much chance on either Jets goal. Andrew Ladd broke the scoreless tie with a one-timer in the slot off a ...

Rick Sadowski: Avs go back to school in practice

December 28, 2013 - 6:12 PM ET

...d well. I thought for his first game back he did a good job. There's a lot of things that he's going to have to adjust -- D-zone coverage, moving his FEET, game shape. He's going to need some time, but I'm confident that things are going to go well for him." ***** Jets coach Claude Noel told W...

...: 1) Turn Monday into determination not doubt. If the Canes come out still dazed a bit from Monday’s 3rd period debacle and trying to get their FEET under them, even the undermanned version of the Pens could smell blood, pounce early and ride it to a win. If instead, the Canes come out with a...
