...he couldn't. I have some great memories of Scatchard playing on the Island. Most noteably was watching Scatch and Jason Blake both hit the ice four FEET away from each other in an unusual display of synchronized shot blocking. It was a thing of beauty. I also remember that it was an injured Da...
...(Shooter first). He is a strong skater that is quick but doesn’t have high end speed; his skating strength derives from being hard to knock off his FEET. He is great at both ends of the rink and can shutdown an opposing team. The knock on Couturier is his lack of physical play and his overall stre...
...hing anything too hard. Having said that, not pushing it too hard for Logan is wearing a forty-five pound vest and leaping from ground level up a few FEET to a plateau and then back down again. Ten reps of that, a break and then back at it again was enough to make me sweat simply by watching. ...
...Cup Tournament. Denny Urban - 5'10", 170 lbs, Shoots: R, 23-years old The 5'10" Urban is the only defenceman on the Leafs rookie roster under six FEET tall, and is the shortest player on the squad behind the 5'11" Jerry D'Amigo. Urban had eight goals and 32 assists for a total of 40 points in...
... really out of control. He needs to reign that in and stop trying to take the easy way out of sticky situations and simply just work harder, move his FEET and use his 6'6, 220 pound frame effectively and not recklessly. If he can do that and play a more disciplined brand of hockey, he will go far in...
...a pieces are notorious for being loud one minute and then quiet the next, make the audience curious where the sound went only to be knocked off their FEET by the next strain that immediately becomes loud again. This contrast is good at keeping the attention of the audience and also keeping them on t...
... lbs A puck mover by definition, this diminutive defender shows a lot of flash and dash in his game. A quick skater who moves the puck well from his FEET or stick, Barrie shows a lot of composure on the ice offensively as he QBs the Power Play. He’s not a beastly shooter, but gets his shots throu...
...him in trouble. Capable of taking the puck end to end and getting to top speed within a few strides, he’s the kind of defenseman to put you on your FEET with one beautiful rush and then frustrate the heck out of you because it didn’t work as he had intended. Upside: Top Four Offensive Defensem...
... Emerson Etem, Center/Right Wing, Medicine Hat Tigers, WHL, 29th overall, 2010, 19 years old, 6’0, 192. Etem is a scoring forward with quick FEET and a good head for the game. His two-way game is solid and he is always the first on the backcheck. He put on a goal scoring show in the WHL but...
... 8. Carl Soderberg, Center Malmo Redhawks, Swe-1 49th overall 2004 (St. Louis), 25 years old, 6’3, 207 lbs An explosive skater, who keeps his FEET moving in all areas of the ice, Soderberg is another center that teams would love to have. His size and top end hockey sense make for a workhorse...
...was born in a town with a one room schoolhouse! He certainly was not the smallest player on the KGAC bantam team as 14 year old as he was already six FEET tall when he left home two years later in 1944 at age 16 to pursue his professional hockey career. None of these extra bits of information i...
...me style, the exact same strengths, the exact same size and the exact same weaknesses. He is very athletic for his size with great reaction and quick FEET. He is a hybrid goalie that mixes the butterfly with a blocking style and doesn’t so much as try to stop pucks as get in the way. That has led ...
... Calgary weather? People say players don't want to play in Winnipeg or Edmonton- has anyone seen how many top UFAs are lining to play in Cowtown? 3 FEET of water dropped on Calgary yesterday. It's possibly the first summer in 6 years they have had a day over 25 degrees there. I'm not anti-Calgar...
... 1. Ryan Strome, Center Niagara Ice Dogs, OHL 6'1, 183 lbs A playmaker by definition, Strome has that 'wow' factor to make any fan stand on their FEET. One of the best puck handlers out there, Strome has the ability to make high end offensive plays at top speeds, where he excels in his skating. ...
...han propping up poor sisters.” Dowbiggin, obviously carrying water for players associations in these leagues, actually lays all the blame at the FEET of the owners. Now, I believe that the owners do deserve a big hunk of it for the situation in these leagues. I have a favorite line from the cla...
...sh pub, will be named O'Brien's, will be the only place in the arena to sell beer and also features a coat check. - It's a 200x90 ice surface - 10 FEET wider than an NHL rink. - The press box will have two levels and dedicated boxes for TV, home and away radio, home and away coaches and video r...
... after save(he stopped 38 of 40), he continued to play with confidence. No way I'm losing this bet. Wrong. Wrong! Corey Perry, from just about 200 FEET away, slid the puck into his own net in the waning moments. For many, it was just a laughably obscure play. For me, it meant a brutal loser. ...
...ate to wonder if Rinaldo is even capable of playing under control. In the split-squad scrimmage at the Flyers' summer prospect camp, Rinaldo left his FEET to deliver a dangerous hit to Sean Couturier. That was extremely stupid. Rinaldo easily could have caused a concussion to the organization's top ...
...the youngsters be getting their first taste of life as an Islander, but the newest member of the Sound Tigers coaching staff will also be getting his FEET wet. Do you have your tickets yet for the Blue & White Scrimmage on Saturday? You should. First glimpse of your future NY Islanders. Person...
...of physicality at the pro level was too much. It was brutal. Former NHLer Jim Cummins once said players in the NCAA skate around "like they're ten FEET tall" because they wore full cages and no one could touch them. But it was vastly different in the AHL and NHL. The aforementioned Kojevnikov ...
