...king at this hit through gold-colored glasses. But seriously… can anyone say this is the kind of hit that is wanted in the NHL. Does he leave his FEET? Yup. Is it before the beginning of contact? Maybe. Was Josi’s head down? It was. Does Downie launch himself at Josi? Definitely. Should Dow...
...ayed a terrible game, as well. The Islanders are a fast team and they really exploited Jagr's lack of speed. He looked like he had bricks tied to his FEET and almost every time he was on the ice the Devils were hemmed in their own end. Jagr finished the game with a -12 Corsi rating which was by far ...
...and see the replay looking from a different angle? Oh, who is that gliding back across the blue line on the back check as Little cuts across about 5 FEET in front of him? Hemsky. Nice back check. Remember that line though Hall, Hemsky and Smyth as that was not their only highlight of the ...
...ive zone before finally peeling off and heading towards the slot in a way that makes you think he had blown his coverage. Little gave Hemsky about 10 FEET of space and just tried to clog the passing lanes a bit but otherwise didn’t pressure the puck carrier. Second Smyth’s drive to the net force...
...must dos” on top of an 18-year old whose first step is to simply get healthy and get acclimated to the NHL. He needs a bit of time to just get his FEET under him. But ideally he will grow quickly and ultimately assume the C3 role originally assumed to be his before training camp. If he does cli...
... point blank range past Mason. The second period was a rough one for veteran defenseman Paul Ranger, who took two minor penalties and knocked the FEET out from under the Flyers Wayne Simmonds in the waning seconds. Simmonds was awarded a penalty shot, but Bernier snuffed out his attempt with re...
...rting goaltender Dubnyk was atrocious. I’ll give him a pass on the Frolik goal through three bodies, but you can put the other four directly at the FEET of the big netminder. Dubnyk couldn’t control rebounds or corral the puck consistently, and didn’t deliver the saves his team needed in the t...
The Basics Name: Chris Kelly (No. 23) Position: Center/Left Wing Height and weight: 6-FEET, 198 pounds. How he got here: Kelly was traded to Boston in Feb. 2011 by the Ottawa Senators in exchange for a 2011 second round draft pick and signed a four-year extension in 2012. The Stats...
...ugh the evolution of the sport. Toughness because large physical specimens fly around on a think sheet of ice with sharpened metal strapped to their FEET slamming in to each other with reckless abandon for months on end (and like it). Oxymoronic for a peculiar combination of beautiful execution ma...
...roving defensively at forward, I think Nash is key early with the possibility that this shifts to young Elias Lindholm if he can get healthy, get his FEET under him in the NHL and grow from there. Twitter=@CarolinaMatt63 where to banter continues to build with the season opener only 4 days away. ...
...zone effort. The frequency in which he ends up in the boards or on the ice is a reminder of where his skill set is. In his head and hands, not in his FEET. Paajarvi did not do himself any favors by taking the senseless penalty that led to Spurgeon's goal. He did redeem himself, slightly, with a h...
... York Rangers 5-0 at Rogers Arena. The Rangers carried play early but Roberto Luongo did a great job holding the fort until the Canucks got their FEET underneath them. Vancouver scored twice in the 1st period and didn't look back en route to their convincing win. Henrik Sedin (2), Frankie ...
... week and a half ago. He was 50% on draws and when he lost faceoffs, he dogged the opposing center to get the puck back. Grigo’s confidence, hands, FEET, and imagination are all working in concert right now and we are seeing all aspects of his sick game that made him the 12th overall pick in 2012....
... Hunwick has the most NHL experience, having played in 291 games with Boston and the Avalanche. He's 28 and a lot smaller than Holden and Guenin at 5-FEET-11, 190 pounds. He played in 43 of 48 games last year, had six assists and 16 penalty minutes. It might surprise you to learn that he finished wi...
The Basics Name: Danny Paille (No. 20) Position: Left Wing/Right Wing Height and weight: 6-FEET, 200 pounds. How he got here: Paille was traded to Boston from the Buffalo Sabres in Oct. 2009 in exchange for a 2010 third round draft choice along with a 2010 fourth round conditional pick....
...e been fortunate to get a couple good bounces. When things go your way at the right time it's good, but there's still a long way to go here." At 6-FEET-2 and 207 pounds, Malone has the kind of physical presence the Avalanche could use on the fourth line. He centered Cody McLeod and Patrick Bordel...
...unity to move up based on his play. "We wanted someone with size and he's been a great leader everywhere he's been," Roy said of Cliche, who is 6-FEET and 202 pounds. "He works hard and we just feel he's a right-handed shooter and will help on faceoffs. He knows he's the 13th forward right now f...
...ho has an amazing glove hand. He’s known to be weak blocker side and that like most Euro goalies he likes to kick out his rebounds with those quick FEET. So far this season he is on loan in what once was the Allsvenskan but is now called “Olympics” (ya what?) with Södertälje, in his 5 starts...
...am. Olver, 25, had four goals, two assists and six penalty minutes in 32 games with the Avalanche last season and played much bigger than his size (5-FEET-10, 170 pounds). He was a favorite of former coach Joe Sacco for that reason. The fact that the Avalanche on Sunday claimed center Marc-Andre...
...f waivers from the Los Angeles Kings and assigned goalie Calvin Pickard to the Lake Erie Monsters of the American Hockey League. Cliche, 26, is 6 FEET and 203 pounds. He had 10 goals, 10 assists and 46 penalty minutes in 57 games last season with the AHL's Manchester Monarchs. Except for one gam...
