...eason. He literally intercepted a St. Louis clearing attempt mid air, skated it back in to the Blues zone and scored. The puck had to be two or three FEET off the ground when he batted it down and gathered it up. Getzlaf also added an assist to push his season point total to 34 points. Did I men...
...ected line changes tonight. The Avalanche will be without their top defender Jan Hedja tonight as the veteran lost the edge of his skate and collided FEET-first with the boards in the first period on Thursday night. His presence will certainly be missed on their backend. Calgary’s top line wil...
...is also arguably one of the top three (after Martin Brodeur and Mike Smith) puckhandling goaltenders in the league. He's also been using his legs and FEET very well this season, with excellent lateral movement and greatly improved rebound control. More and more in one-on-one shooting situations...
... hands full with Lindy Ruff's team tomorrow, although I consider the Stars to be a beatable club for the Flyers if they are diligent in keeping their FEET moving. Next week is going to be a tough one. On Monday, the Flyers have their third meeting with Ottawa in less than a month. That will be f...
...n Volchenkov looks completely lost in the defensive zone and probably makes the worst outlet pass in pro hockey. He either throws it in the forward's FEET, blasts it 30 yards ahead of him or rifles it off the glass and back to the opposing team. It's good to have him out there on the penalty kill be...
...st night in that department last night), Mason has shown this season that he has one of the best glovehands in the league. Additionally, his legs and FEET are very good. That has left opposing teams to try to focus on beating him high to the blocker side, which is where he's been beatable this s...
...at makes me shake my head at how incredibly talented he is. It can be something on a smaller scale such as kicking the puck up to his stick with his FEET while in full flight in the neutral zone, or something as obvious as his game winning goal last night. Sidney Crosby is as close as there is to ...
...able to the club playing a much more defensively oriented style under Craig Berube than Peter Laviolette, when the puck support and collective moving FEET have been there, the club has generated some chances. However, that has not happened on nearly a regular enough basis. Philadelphia's offensiv...
... With an up and down November that saw the Canes just fall to 6th in the weak Metro Division, I think Canes GM Jim Rutherford has one if not both FEET on the "urgency" side of the fence entering December. And with four consecutive playoff misses for a team that has not been rebuilding the pressu...
...ser. But that Leafs defense is brutal. BRUTAL. Carl Gunnarsson was a turnstile against the Canadiens. Paul Ranger's effective when he's moving his FEET, but not exactly reliable in his own end. Reilly's a rookie. Gardiner has no rhythm after jumping in and out of the lineup. Defensive commitment ...
...Torey Krug, Chara, Seidenberg, Boychuk all use their heavy shots to either score of get rebounds in front? Plus, how the hell can you give them 10-15 FEET of room to shoot or makes cross-ice passes, like to Marchand, with no close-out or adjustment? In addition, that space created room for rebounds ...
... The goal happened because of a broken stick. I wish they would go back to the 5 forward PP but regardless of the unit they need to keep moving their FEET. 2) Short Rest. Playing in the 2nd of back-to-back games hasn’t been great for Edmonton this season they have lost 3 of the 4 games they pla...
...u with their skating? Nope. If that really was their identity then we wouldn't be waiting until the 2nd period for them to start moving their FEET. They SHOULD be the fast skating club, but they arent, and they arent because they lack either the maturity or competitive fire to make it happen...
... skilled players who make good plays. That's all part of the game. What's unacceptable is when a team does not hustle, and players stop moving their FEET. Craig Berube has worked long and hard on getting his Flyers' players to be up on their skates right from the outset of a game. They'd made s...
...g of the painfully obvious – has mentioned it following an empty-netter. Let’s consider the dimensions of an NHL goal. Each cage measures four FEET high by six FEET wide, which results in a surface area of 24 square FEET. If an NHL netminder (the Edmonton Oilers’ Devan Dubnyk, for instance)...
.... Sure Backstrom gave up some juicy rebounds but if you watch the totality of the play too many Wild players were caught unaware and not moving there FEET. 3, Our guy Dany Heatley gets elevated to top line this evening so I guess hsi ability to be productive and make good on the expanded importa...
...meet me outside in the parking lot. Then we went at it full force. I was bigger than he was, and got the upper hand. Finally, I lifted him up off his FEET and threw him to the ground. I explained that we were teammates but I'd be damned if he was going to get away with starting a quarrel with me and...
...und the team and watching how they practiced and prepared. I also feel like the lockout was a blessing in disguise for him. It allowed him to get his FEET wet in the professional ranks without the pressure of being a highly sought after college free agent with expectations of making the NHL right ou...
...tied or trailing by one. The difference between the team now and the earlier part of the season is that the team is doing a better job of keeping its FEET moving and there is emerging line chemistry. Right now, the Flyers seem to have found a good mix on both their forward lines and defense pairi...
...her at all. The 10-57 experienced far too many blonde moments when playing together this and last season. Sulzer brings a very stead hand and capable FEET to the Buffalo D corps. Nolan's bread is buttered on the side of veterans these days. He feels that there are already enough kids in Buffalo. The...
