...uicker on the forecheck.” Yeah, the Flyers settled down. After it was already 3-0. “We came out slow, came out tentative, didn’t move our FEET, we turned pucks over,” said Flyer captain Mike Richards. “Where we had our success this series wasn’t turning pucks over, but getting them...
...Spezza (and Anton Volchenkov) in back to back years is going to absolutely crush this franchise, and it'll take a while for them to get back on their FEET. There's just no way you can replace that level of talent, even if your scout team is perfect through free agency, the draft, and on the trade bl...
...had virtually zero chance of winning the draw against John Madden. The wily Hawks forward did not have his stick on the ice and was cheating with his FEET before the drop of the puck. I don't fault Madden at all for doing it -- he was trying to gain an edge, as all vets do -- but I do fault the li...
...igger up front. With Gionta, Plekanec, Cammalleri, and Gomez being the only Habs to really contribute on the top two lines and all being under six FEET tall, the Canadiens are lacking scoring size on their top two lines. Andrei Kostitsyn has clearly worn out his welcome in Montreal, and despit...
...tronger in game 2. He had a few really nice moves that could have easily resulted in goals. *Niemi is completely "in the zone" right now. His FEET are as quick as any I have seen. You simply aren't going to get anything past him down low. He is also has such a strong concentration level. H...
...e former structure was built on top of busy North Station, and hockey fans would often feel the rumble of trains arriving and departing beneath their FEET. Such legendary athletes as Phil Esposito, Bobby Orr, John Havlicek and Larry Bird caused rumbles of a different kind. The final hockey game play...
...wks). Flyer captain Mike Richards and linemate Jeff Carter -- the top two regular seasons scorers for the Flyers this year -- were both getting their FEET wet as pros that spring as they joined the Phantoms when their junior teams were eliminated from the OHL playoffs, and Carter also ended up being...
...on… ala Mike Cammalleri, Brian Gionta, Scott Gomez, Patrick Kane, Daniel Briere, Claude Giroux and Joe Pavelski – all of whom stand less than six FEET. Certainly, we can close our eyes and imagine Tyler Bozak and Nazem Kadri performing similarly at some point in the future. In contrast to the...
...hort of spectacular, neighbors helping neighbors, friends helping friends, strangers helping everywhere and the hockey family has jumped in with both FEET. It is a testament to the spirit of the Volunteer State. In that spirit, it is my pleasure to announce the “SlapShot Radio Rink Rebuild” even...
...eirdness happened, an inexplicable collision between Jaroslav Halak and Roman Hamerlik led to Richards sliding under/around the pileup, regaining his FEET and tapping a backhander into the empty net for a shortie to tie the game and reignite the crowd in the Wachovia Center. Early in the second ...
...rmed. Trading away guys like Doug Weight, Bill Guerin, and Keith Tkachuk all fetched first round in return and allowed the Blues to get back on their FEET rather quickly. Assembling a quality scouting staff shouldn’t be ignored either but at the end of the day the Blues are in pretty decent...
...and Moore scoring half way through the second to make it 3-0. Maxim Lapierre too, was all over the ice and was effective because he was moving his FEET. When he decides to skate instead of just yapping, he becomes a force to be reckoned with. 4. The Habs' best players were their best players...
...ntire Canadiens offensive corps into perimeter players. As a result, the small but speedy Habs' players are taking shot after shot from 30 or more FEET out, from the outside, with no one in front of or going to the net. For the Habs to be successful, they need to start chipping the puck into t...
...re that Coach Martin will want his plays to dump the puck in more and create foot races that his nimble forwards can win. And, if they can move their FEET enough, maybe they can even get the Flyers to take some penalties. Who knows? Tonight is Game Two of the series and while they say that you...
...ave little to no qualms with the game again this season. Yeah, the fighting system needs some serious work, and being sucked into the boards from ten FEET out by Wade Redden seems more fairytale than anything else. The rest of the game, however, is pretty complete, and I enjoy myself every time I tu...
...mula for success in the NHL and the Habs needed to try a little of that themselves last night. Instead, Montreal was limited to shots from 30 or more FEET away, with little to no secondary scoring chances. I've said it before and I'll say it again: you just do not score many goals in the NHL off...
...er Stewart you have to be able to skate well enough that he wont gain the corner and tough enough to keep him from the front of the net. Not any easy FEET for the best of defensemen. As evidenced by his 28 goals, Stewart also has soft hands and good net presence and at 6'2 228, he's a full load t...
...oals against average last season. Riopel gives the Wildcats a dependable starter whose confidence exudes throughout the lineup. Although small at six FEET and 167 pounds, Riopel is a fierce competitor and gives his team a chance to win. The Wildcats don't possess a scoring star, but boast plenty...
...’t let him get the puck in the neutral zone, and if he does get it, pick him up at the blueline. If you back up on Malkin and enable him to get his FEET moving he’s unstoppable. 4. Continue to frustrate Crosby. The Habs need to do whatever it takes to get Sidney concentrating on what they’...
...he brunt of the blame for the loss, this season despite the fact that his numbers were similar it's much harder to place the blame at the netminder's FEET. Injuries and other factors played a much more pivitol role in the Canucks exit this season, the most obvious being the Canucks having to use a p...
