...Luckily for him the Kings didn't score on special teams but you can't commit stupid penalties like that, especially when the back referee is about 15 FEET away from you. Sharks 3rd and 4th lines and power play – I suppose to some degree the entire Sharks team minus Niemi could be on the pretend...
...e norm needs to be good saves, not good saves AND saveable goals. One does not cancel the other out. Which leads to Bolland, who needs to move his FEET and be effective without taking cheap shots or using his stick, or losing his composure, as he did on Filippula's goal. Will Viktor Stalberg b...
...allenges Gonchar, who passes the puck to the left point. Paul Martin follows Gonchar into the end boards, opening up a lane. Kunitz is still a few FEET on the wrong side of the blue line. Malkin and Kunitz are steps behind their Sens counterparts and the rest is history. Here’s what c...
...th emotion-but not out of control emotionally as Andrew Shaw did in the first period Wednesday. keep your heads up and play stifling defense over 200 FEET of ice. Pavel Datsyuk didn't fail to register a shot because he took the night off in Game 1. He failed because Duncan Keith was all over him for...
...ek.” Crosby said that the face shield doesn’t hinder his ability to take faceoffs, but said that it can be difficult receiving hard passes in the FEET. Crosby missed the first game of the playoffs, but finished with three goals and nine points in five contests against the Islanders. As ...
...tatistics bear this out. A good metric of team speed is how many penalties you take—so many penalties are brought about by players not moving their FEET to keep up, lazy stick infractions and the like. The Hawks took the fourth fewest penalties in the league during the regular season. The Wings we...
...re guys were going to be around us. It was a great play by all of us there. One was at their spot where they needed to be.” The floor beneath my FEET in the press box shook. I couldn’t hear anything other writers were saying. I watched as a sea of gold towels, black-and-gold jerseys, and Bost...
...in favor of the Isles and with two seconds remaining on the Pens power play, the puck hits the netting and is out of play. The crowd is on their FEET cheering the effort of the Isles PK. 8 pm: Well, did we expect that? Yes. All they needed to do was to crack Vokoun's armour and they c...
... fry. The point is, the Hawks at their best are not necessarily a speed and finesse team or a physical team—but a great defensive team over 200 FEET of ice. And they will be a hard team for anyone to beat if they play that game. That’s what they were last night, limiting Minnesota to 25 s...
...hen he loses, he also gives it to his own team. You need to put a "C" on him, because that's the guy you want in the dressing room holding everyone's FEET to the fire. Coaches can't act that way anymore...the modern NHL coach is a purely positive motivator. But having a captain who is old-school, br...
...is ability to defend and limit time and space. His ability to skate is an underrated part of his game. His ability to skate and play defense with his FEET, as well.” JT’s Take: Orpik’s return would balance the blueliners’ minutes – Letang and Martin played more than 30 minutes Sunday �...
...s principle point of contact. Nevertheless, the fact Abdelkader exploded upwards towards the head to deliver the check, resulting in him leaving his FEET after contact played a significant factor in the discipline handed down. It should come as no surprise that there will always be debate and di...
... power forward build. I don’t get to see a lot of American system games (USHL/USNDP/NCAA) so I’m not sure if his poor accuracy outside of the ten FEET range is usual or just an anomaly of a small tournament, but people should be slightly worried. He’s a late birthday and his physical build at ...
...nd to add a little more strength, especially since neither one is a particularly fast skater. Claude Giroux, Matt Read and Max Talbot are all under 6-FEET tall but make up for in other ways. Simon Gagne isn't small but is a speed-and-finesse player. The likely-to-depart Danny Briere is one of the s...
...as his NHL comparable. He was fine if not a tad disappointing in the tournament. He wasn’t really physical which pissed me off since he was about 5 FEET taller than everybody else. I will say this, Gauthier is really hard to take off the puck when he starts cycling down low and he won almost every...
...m USA and Ladislav Smid is going to be suiting up for Czech Republic. As usual, I expect Smid to lead the tournament in bruises between the waste and FEET. How many times did we see him hobble off the ice after blocking a shot this season? Did they hold the draft lottery yet? Did we win? God,...
...ies. I thought there was strong possibility that Hiller would start the series on the bench watching his counterpart Viktor Fasth get his playoff FEET wet. Not the case and it worked out well. Ducks head coach Bruce Boudreau has done and excellent job of managing his goalies this season; why...
...de in that match. He also contributed a power play goal to the effort. In an age of behemoth defensemen who can also skate well, Pulock's frame (6-FEET, 210 pounds) is average sized but far from small. He is considered a very well-conditioned athlete. A late 1994 birthday player, Pulock was to...
...m sticks and pucks without missing a shift. Pretenders Zack Kassian – can take a seat on the Pretender’s list for taking the minor 200 FEET from his own net for roughing that led to the Shark’s first goal of the game. San Jose’s power play were very close to scoring on previous ch...
...nute to go in the first. Good way to get that new contract Mark. 8:07 pm: Nabokov makes one good save but then the squirmish brings him four FEET out of his net leaving it wide open. Dupuis said thank you. It's now 2-0 Pens. 7:44 pm: Obviously the refs are not going to let retalitory ...
