...they are trying to hard to pick a corner. Maybe they are being too simple when it comes to offensive movement, lending to a slew of bruised shins and FEET from opponents. Who knows, again and I apologize for sounding like a broken record at this point, it's not a bad thing if it's working. Last nigh...
...ugh the first 15 games of the season, the team often failed to do the sorts of things that lead to quality scoring chances. Players didn't keep their FEET moving, so they couldn't break out of their own zone cleanly and they couldn't generate sufficient puck pursuit and forechecking pressure. One...
...y tonight. Much like Canucks coach John Tortorella said, it’s about Respect. You have to respect Florida if you want to beat them. 2) Move Those FEET. It’s one of the things they did well against Columbus. They were constantly moving their FEET. When the Oilers skate with the 3 offensive line...
...mitting that you have a problem, right? In that case, this loss may serve a purpose, as John Tortorella finally seemed ready to lay some blame at the FEET of his players. After the game, Tortorella said he thought the Canucks showed a "lack of respect" to their opponent and that he was going to ...
...arth Snow make another move? Does he trade for defense or try to get through it? Tavares, “We didn’t executive. We didn’t seem to move our FEET very well. Consistency level and all around game is just not there. They’re a team that can score. If you give them the opportunity, they�...
...edal a bit in practice, although maybe the intensity needs to be dialed up a bit. Outside of that, which may be nothing at all, the issue lies at the FEET of the players themselves. These are professionals and the motivation should be coming from within. Another thing, that is no surprise to Oil...
...ating continued as after Wheeler was skating up the ice he had his stick slashed out of his hands while a Flames player had possession of the puck 20 FEET from him. No call. In fact Wheeler was then unable to join the play because he had no stick thus creating an odd-man rush for the Flames. ...
...rises, others are not. Case in point, Mikhail Grigorenko and Nikita Zadorov. Grigo isn't growing as a player while watching the game from 150 FEET above the ice surface. Skating in practice drills and performing in practice is one thing. Doing it against 30 year old men every night is anothe...
...d Evander ’40 foot’ Kane all need to load up and fire away. Why that name for Kane? Well it seems he doesn’t like to shoot any closer than 40 FEET to the net these days. I took a look and Greg Sinclair’s shot search and Kane’s average distance is actually 33.6 FEET on 75 shots recorded ...
...reaker, and one that Bishop would almost certainly like back. From beneath the goal line, the Coyotes’ forward just fired the puck into Bishop’s FEET. Somehow it found its way through and into the net. Unable to use the first intermission as an opportunity to reset, the Lightning fell behin...
... tie the game again at four. Michael Grabner has a break-away chance with less than 5 minutes left of the game and left the puck at Gustavsson’s FEET. He didn’t know it was there. With 42.5 seconds left of the third, and the crowd screaming for an Isles win, Bertuzzi was once again in fro...
...ldn't get at him in our end, because the ref and linesmen were shielding him from our players. I said "OK guys, watch this!" Then I skated 150 FEET toward their goalie, John Garrett and went after him. Everyone on his side chased me into that end, then we got at it. I never touched Garrett, h...
...e repeatedly. The players need to keep up the strong work they've exhibited without the puck -- active sticks, support from teammates, keeping their FEET moving -- that contributed heavily to their recent wins. Secondly, the Flyers need to show discipline and stay out of the penalty box. It does...
... got the goal.” JT was asked by Stan, “What went wrong?” He answered in rapid fire. This is only a few of them. “We stopped moving our FEET. We stopped doing the things that made us successful. We seemed to grip our sticks tight and we talked about going after them and getting that ...
...asically located out in the grand foyer of the Corral. BEST MEMORY: Each time we took to the ice we had to walk through the fans several hundred FEET to get to the ice. It was a pretty neat experience, because we certainly got that up-close interaction. Also, there was no skate-guard flooring ...
...st Ottawa, there were two white jerseys to every red jersey around the puck. That's because the Flyers were hungrier for the puck and they kept their FEET moving rather than standing still or coasting. Philly was able to active the D to pinch, because there was consistently a third forward high to c...
...has seen in a long time minus very short stints on the EStaal line. If he works hard, think the game to find places where he can score and moves his FEET, he could be the next to break out score sheet-wise on the 4th line. --The start. Against somewhat lesser opponents the Canes came out ready ...
...kle down effect it has can be significant. With Vey playing near 7-8 minutes more than Fraser, that's 7-8 minutes less that has to be laid on the FEET of Anze Kopitar and Mike Richards. Kopitar already logs the fifth most ice time in the league amongst centers with 21:26. Richards slides in at 4...
...on-five is more conducive to playing "road-style" hockey -- third forward high in the offensive zone, have a safety valve in the defensive zone, keep FEET moving in order to move the puck forward and backcheck when needed -- than trying to please the home crowd. That theory is about to be put to ...
...Caps to get on the PP as the Aves have been shorthanded the least of any NHL team this season (48). It will be imperative for the Caps to have their FEET moving this evening or else it will be very difficult to draw penalties against a disciplined team. While the last game saw the Caps control the...
