...w. Bring the closest defenseman down to the faceoff circle. Turn it into a 4-on-3 down low and make the play there instead of keeping the pressure 60-FEET away from the net. 3) If Chicago can't adjust and apply some sort of pressure on Boston's breakout, they may not win another game in this ser...
...d, however, that Bernier is still an unproven NHL player, having played in just 62 games to date. He is also rather undersized, at a shade under six FEET tall, for a current-day NHL goalie. With those two caveats aside, the 24-year-old Bernier appears ready to take the next steps in his career ...
...roves that it ain't the size of the dog in the fight. Its the size of the fight in the dog. At 5'10 and a shade under 200 lbs., Shaw plays like her 7 FEET tall. He's an inspiration to players everywhere. I don't know what I love more. Shaw's dagger to the heart of the ferocious Bears, or, his F-b...

...of the high quality goalies in this draft he lacks that 6’3+ frame most teams prefer to draft these days. He’s very athletic with extremely quick FEET and side to side movement, he’s described by most as being extremely calm in his net and not extremely daring (playing on the outside of the pa...
... tilts the ice slightly to Chicago. In the end, and I know I will be called a homer—so fire away—I think the Hawks' speed and defense over 200 FEET of ice—and maybe having home ice for a seventh game—is going to mean a parade in Chicago. Hawks in 7. Thanks for reading, JJ ...
...ck things up in the corners. At 6’0 206 he’s well-built already and very solid due to a really strong lower body (he’s very hard to get off his FEET). He showed a lot of leadership on a poor Wheat King’s squad as their captain and leading point getter, a rare feat in junior for a defenseman....
...me Boston’s Giants I watched a lot of the Boston/Pittsburgh series and I can honestly say the two best players in that series were either 6-FEET-tall or less. As hard as this is to write, the way Brad Marchand took control of that series was pretty impressive. If he wasn’t so far bac...
...r the team. Especially when that’s what you’re counted on to do. It’s a little frustrating.” My take: When Kane commits to moving his FEET in all three zones, his scoring chances increase. Right now, he's just going through the motions. Hawks head coach preaches "pace" at his practic...
...and puts up stunning scores, the third game is always tight as a fist. Are you guys gearing up toward a game that's going to be one of those every 10 FEET of the ice is going to be a battle kind of thing? COACH JULIEN: Well, that's the way it's been from the start for us. Every part of ...
...h at the point in the middle of the ice, Malkin on the left boards, Kunitz in front of the net, Crosby down low on the right side and James Neal five FEET above the right circle. After a quick clear following a Kunitz shot, Letang brings puck up to his blue line, passes quickly to Malkin at cente...
...dzus "done." Well, he wasn't then and he isn't now. And on a team, in a system, where hockey sense and commitment to defense is at a premium, "Zus," FEET slogging through concrete and all, fits right in. THE LINES The Hawks got goal production from three of their four lines last night. ...
...r own end, especially in the second period, when the Hawks did the most business on the scoreboard. This is where it is up to the Hawks to keep their FEET moving and their sticks active, pinch and rotate. If they can do this, then you can look for another lop-sided shot margin, and possibly another ...
...nd positioning. Has a long wingspan and plays with an active stick, clogging passing lanes. Closes gaps quickly, angles men to corners, and has quick FEET to contain smaller, shifty forwards. Strong in coverage. Doesn’t activate much yet in the offensive end, but makes rocket outlet passes and has...
...guably completely outplayed them, tied it up in the last minute, then they scored with 10 seconds left. Given where we were, trying to get our FEET on the ground, the way they responded after that, said a lot. Again, there's a critical moment to rise. Unless you have character, comp...
..., look out, you’re out of position and beaten. And if the Kings are chasing the puck, they're going to get tired, get frustrated, stop moving their FEET at times—and take more penalties. And then, even with Jamie Kompon designing the power play, Jonathan Quick becomes a lot more beatable. ...
...ghtily on draws against the B’s. Paul Martin: 30 games (2G, 8A) Puck-moving skills important when Bruins win faceoffs, force Pens to skate 200 FEET up ice. Brenden Morrow: 12 games (5G, 2A) Led Pens with five hits against Bruins in only game vs. B’s in 2013. Doug Murray: 7 games (0...
...ns in every award category, every year. I think this one is glaring. Onto another French Canadian coach, I think Alain Vigneault will land on his FEET in the NHL pretty quickly. Maybe the Rangers will have an opening soon. Oh yeah, and that other French Canadian coach making waves--you know, ...
...opposition. In game seven on Tuesday night the Sharks took more minors than the Kings and the worst part of them were that three of them happened 200 FEET from San Jose’s net. The Sharks didn’t come away with the result they wanted, but they shouldn’t be labeled with the choke tag after an ...
