Guest Writer: Smyth's Swan Song- Matt Henderson

August 28, 2013 - 2:37 PM ET

... Darnell Nurse was born the winter after the Oilers drafted Smytty. - 94 has scored 376 NHL regular season goals. Probably 330 have come from 5 FEET or less from the net but you can still count on him trying his patented 78 mph slapshot off the rush. It must have fooled a goalie once and he ju...

Dee Karl: Hockey Great Sells House, Isles Sell Gear

August 24, 2013 - 7:46 AM ET

... that it looks out over the Long Island Sound didn't seem to matter. It's a beautiful home with five bedrooms and seven bathrooms and 7,000 square FEET of Long Island Luxury. Custom designed and only ten years old. But the most amazing feature is the adjacent out-door rink and locker rooms that...

GARTH'S CORNER: Slats To Stepan: No Long Term Deal

August 23, 2013 - 3:53 PM ET

...ut together, they skate together, they eat meals together. Its uncanny. Where you see one of them in town, you'll likely see the other two just a few FEET away. Baseball hats turned backwards, talking junk to one another laughing and carrying on. These kids don't look out of place in Buffalo. They f...

Matt Karash: Canes sign Sergey Tolchinsky

August 22, 2013 - 10:55 AM ET

...and are drafted to play in the NHL. But despite being a decent hockey player, Tolchinsky was not going to be in these ranks. You see, Tolchinsky is 5 FEET 8 inches tall and weighs 160 pounds, theoretically too small to have anything but a prayer to play in the NHL. He needed to do something to prove...

Adam French: Top-10 Prospects : Blackhawks (1-10)

August 16, 2013 - 8:25 AM ET

...K in the Elitserien Nordström made the move to the AHL after his season ended in Sweden. He's a very talented two-way player who has very quick FEET and shiftiness. He can play on the penalty kill and is very responsible all over the ice. He was also a very strong face-off man in Sweden. He sc...

John Jaeckel: Repeat After Me?

August 15, 2013 - 8:24 AM ET

... Saad brings a nice combination of speed and size. But he also plays—or has the potential to play— the game better and more consistently over 200 FEET of ice than Stalberg does. And Saad may well end up right where Stalberg was on the Hawks' third line—and be very effective there, with more sp...

Ian Esplen: Douglas Murray?

August 14, 2013 - 4:02 PM ET

...go's face and blocking shots. Douglas Murray does both things very well. Does his skating suck? Yes. Do you have to skate like Coffey to play two FEET in front of your net and make life hell for guys? Not really. If Murray is willing to play for somewhere in the 1 million range he's a welcom...

Adam French: Top-10 Prospects : Flames (1-10)

August 13, 2013 - 7:30 AM ET

... major offensive contributor, having great showings at the U17 tournament last year and the U18’s this year on the top line. He has quick hands and FEET that make him effectively on the rush. He’s a hard working winger who has some nice scoring upside. His passing is pretty underrated because mo...

Cam Gore: Player Evaluations: Joe Thornton & Jason Demers

August 9, 2013 - 7:06 PM ET

...ple. He has good games and bad but doesn’t seem to consistently play poorly against any one team. Thornton is at his best when he is moving his FEET and does go through slumps where he is lacking energy, but in the grind of the NHL’s 82 game schedule everybody goes through lulls. The problem...

GARTH'S CORNER: Eyes Fore Okposo

August 9, 2013 - 5:45 PM ET

...y hard. Defending, he's not delinquent in that regard. I think he understands he's got to take pucks away and block shots and be a guy that plays 200 FEET. … I liked his skating and that dog-on-a-bone attitude." He's a smack-talkn', face-washin', elbows high winger, who's got a motor and a mout...

GARTH'S CORNER: Stillpower

August 8, 2013 - 3:17 PM ET

...He's been playing center and is causing havoc with his neutral zone D. He's a turnover-creating machine. Its uncanny how he creates pressure with his FEET and stick, finishes puck carriers with his body and it causes fat turnovers. Its really impressive to watch this kid work in open ice and in tigh...

Adam French: Top-10 Prospects : Leafs (1-5)

August 5, 2013 - 10:37 PM ET

...e really unimaginative when they came up with their games. If it doesn’t move, toss it, if it does…eh, toss that too. Some chick tossed a rock 70 FEET…could have sworn it was a dude until they announced Katie had just taken the lead. Regardless, I hope all the Canadians that have the day as a ...

Jason Lewis: What Should We Expect From Kopitar This Year?

August 5, 2013 - 2:23 PM ET

...ers in the National Hockey League, and while it was awkward to see him go through a slump like that it didn't affect his defensive game, the other 90-FEET of ice that is so important to our team with the way he plays." It’s true, Kopitar isn’t just an offensive machine. He’s a top end two-w...

Peter Tessier: Allegedly: Bumistrov Blames Noel and Jokinen

August 5, 2013 - 10:23 AM ET

...case this year there is now some tangible reason as to why Burmistrov left and should this year be step back for the Jets blame can now placed at the FEET of Noel and GM Chevaldayoff for the handling of Burmistrov. In fairness it would seem that the departure of a 21 year old Russian who is not...

GARTH'S CORNER: Sabres Sign Tardif

August 4, 2013 - 9:50 PM ET

...ker from SabresProspects.com created this Bailey highlight reel from Sunday's USA Blue loss to Finland. You'll see Bailey use his long reach and fast FEET to back check Finnish attacks. Bailey played extemely well in his first WJC training camp action. Bailey grinding away today. He looks good in...

Bill Meltzer: Meltzer's Musings: LeClair vs. Kerr, Defensemen of the 2000s

August 4, 2013 - 8:33 AM ET

...backs in front. LeClair also had an overpowering slap shot he could unleash from anywhere over the blueline, while Kerr was also deadly from about 25 FEET away from the net and could score from his knees or even flat on his belly better than just about any player I've ever seen (including LeClair, w...

August 3, 2013 - 10:10 AM ET

...ore incredible is the fact that, about a week after the series ended, the Flyers announced that Forsberg needed reconstructive surgery on both of his FEET and would be out for the first half of the 2006-07 season. That plan ultimately changed, as Forsberg elected only to undergo surgery on the worse...

Todd Cordell: Calgary Flames: How Should Sean Monahan Be Utilized?

July 23, 2013 - 10:37 AM ET

...ng young players, especially centerman, you don't want to bring them up and throw them to the wolves. You have to ease them in and let them get their FEET wet before playing them against top competition. Monahan is a solid two-way forward but I don't think he should be given minutes in all situat...

John Jaeckel: Schedule, Roster, Goalie Thoughts

July 20, 2013 - 9:05 AM ET

...wn for sure. On the Hawks roster: The linemakers are out in force on the blogosphere, and one thing that I am taking away from it all at 30,000 FEET is that most Hawk fans are probably far too confident in a lineup that could feature 2-3 forwards who played for a mediocre AHL team in Rockford ...
