...e said. “The speed factor with Jake, the hands of Giroux and Raffl just strong on the puck. But they all skate and that is the key. They move their FEET well in the offensive zone.” Scott Hartnell gave them power and size but his skating didn't always hold up and that's why Berube made the s...
...Flyers hadn't gone out and played the game the right way. Philly was the more focused and harder-working team for most of this game. They moved their FEET well and when they do that, they become a much better two-way team. Luke Schenn got the Flyers off to a lead at 1:52 of the first period. The...
..."OK," I said. I looked at the skates longingly: two-tone brown, stiffer than the figure skates I had grown accustomed to, and a perfect fit for my FEET. I hated to take them off, but I did my best not to let on that I suddenly felt a bit envious of his nephew. Christmas morning came. My family...
...reatest indictment as Wild bench boss will prove to be the lack of accountability for Heatley dating back to last season. Yeo last season dragged his FEET keeping Heatley on the top line and in the Top6 to the detriment of his team’s production and chemistry. This season without question Heatley h...
...Washington is a skating team. They have a very skilled lineup and get up and down the ice in a hurry. One key for the Devils tonight is to keep their FEET moving and don't get caught flatfooted. If they do, they'll allow a boatload of scoring chances which will probably lead to a regulation loss. ...
... Kesler Hurt? Was Ryan Kesler injured when he got hit by a Jason Garrison one-timer on a second period power play? He struggled to get back to his FEET on the play and also looked hurt when he blocked an Erik Cole shot later in the period. We've seen Kesler play through pain before—and become i...
...is best early, and it is not like he is playing bad after that, but I think he fades just a bit. Ward is the opposite. He has struggled getting his FEET under him in games but tends to get better as the game goes on. The issue is how this maps to the Canes recent play. If the Canes start slow an...
...ilson damn near traveled from Fishtown to the goal line of the arena in South Philly. Incidentally, to those saying "Well, Wilson didn't leave his FEET", a player need not jump into a check for charging to apply. That is just one possible scenario for charging. In past blogs, apart from the w...
...oucher's goal by launching a rocket towards the net that hit the boards and bounced right to Boucher's stick. He also took a poor Brunner pass in his FEET, kicked it up to his stick and used his quick release to put it post-in to stick the dagger in the Sens' comeback hopes. Gelinas had a goal and a...
How much blame do we lay at the FEET of Gagner this morning after he was on the ice for all 3 goals against the Oilers in the game against the Kings? That’s a topic that came up while I was talking to Lowetide (AKA Allan Mitchell) on TSN1260 today. I couldn’t help but notice how everybody seems...
...ding Zach Parise. I'd say the turning point of the game came at 3:16 of the second period. With the game tied 1-1, Zenon Konopka took Ryan Stanton FEET first into the end boards, and Stanton's left ankle took an ugly bend. After being helped off the ice by the Sedins, he did return to the ice, bu...
...Lehtonen has not had his A-game of late, much of the blame for the spate of goals the Stars have allowed in the month of December (3-3-2) lays at the FEET of Dallas' often-shoddy team defense. A quick breakdown of the breakdowns from last night: * On Nathan MacKinnon's first period goal that ope...
...dobin looked great in October but now has not played in almost two months. If Rutherford does decide to trade Justin Peters, I think he will drag his FEET. I do not see how you could move Peters until you have at least one of the other two goalies playing well. The risk of blowing up the whole seaso...
...ast night. He has being playing inspired hockey over the last 5 games and he deserved to be rewarded. - Victor Bartley brought the crowd to their FEET last night with a board rocking hit in the third period on Sharks forward Tommy Wingles, who may still be looking for the number of the truck tha...
...f at which point he got his stick to the puck and got it on net in a hurry. The key thing is that I completely omitted the 2nd step where he got his FEET set and his stick cocked to shoot and get something on it. It never happened. In true Jeff Skinner form of late, he shot from whatever odd skat...
...hat would clearly be Peters, so my wild guess is that he will get the start. If instead Muller goes back to Ward, I think is crucial that he get his FEET under him early. An ideal start would include the Canes playing much better defensively in front of him early to help him get into the game in a...
...a strong defensive option for their future, has regressed in terms of his play. When Carl is on top of his game, he is very quiet, very strong on his FEET, and is able to move the puck out of his end quickly and effectively. Of late, Gunnarsson has been guilty of taking a few bad penalties and being...
...t the hockey fans never see today because everyone leads with their gloves and arms) at centre ice. I was down for the count. I made it to my FEET and skated to the bench like a drunk walking home after last call. Long-time Calgary trainer Jim “Bearcat” Murray was waiting for me. The pro...
...yed well in stretches, they have been outplayed for longer stretches in each of the last two games. It is imperative for the Flyers to keep their FEET moving and have strong puck support tonight. The Blackhawks attack with speed and defend with speed as well. Their defense moves the puck as rapi...
...m in his chest but the shoulder caught his chin. Right away, you knew it wasn't good as Staal was writhing on the ice. When he finally got to his FEET and went off the ice, he threw his helmet in the tunnel, evidencing his frustration. Despite his recent struggles with puck possession, which wer...
