...cting shots and carrying the play for most of the game. Plain and simple, the Oilers looked like a club half asleep. They didn't really move their FEET or try to get to the dirty areas. However, after two periods, they only trailed 1-0. That was before Wojtek Wolski decided to step up his game. ...
... perfect illustration of that. On one particular odd man rush, a streaking Lee Stempniak broke towards the net unhindered and shot the puck easily 4 FEET wide. Until the talent on hand scores with the regularity that Brian Burke and his staff expected, this team will continue to wallow and suffer....
...ke you wonder whether the offensive contribution is worth the defensive liability. 1. Marc-Edouard Vlasic - When Vlasic decides to stop moving his FEET the Sharks end up locked in their own zone for 30-45 seconds and have to wait for a whistle to end the pressure. That’s been happening more oft...
...handed – he completely fanned on a shot while cruising in on a 2-on-1 break with Matt Stajan. In the middle frame, he one-timed a centering pass 10 FEET wide of the Canucks’ net. Goaltending wasn’t quite the issue as in previous games, at least not at the Toronto end of the rink. Joey MacDo...
...om the side and completely took advantage of a player (Booth) who was in no position to protect himself. It wasn't a late hit, he didn't leave his FEET either, but Richards aimed for Booth's head, he wasn't lining up to hit Booth body on body, which he could have done and likely avoided this mess...
...e the Avs 2-1 lead. However, the Avs had a repeat of the first period. After outshooting the Wild 18 to 4 in the second, they stopped moving their FEET in the same way they did in the third and, again, took more penalties. This would lead to the Wild tying the game on a Mikko Koivu tip in shot...
...eason struggle have to come from within, by better team effort and individual play. Wellwood and Raymond need to amp it up. Edler needs to move his FEET a bit more and Bieksa has to play a physical game some time this season so now is a good time to start. Burrows needs to get greasy in front of ...
...ing some of the sting out of the Sharks’ power play. He was also at fault on Michael Del Zotto’s goal, poking at a rebound rather than moving his FEET to clear it out of the zone. 2. Joe Thornton - Thornton committed the worst turnover of the season Monday night, springing Sean Avery for a br...
... Sandin is a technically skilled player that is strong on the puck. A good playmaker that is valuable on the power play unit. He has pretty quick FEET and works well. Not very big, but delivers a good hit once in a while and plays with good intensity and forechecks hard. A team player. - Elitepr...
...the season. Rivet and MacArthur with assists. Mac has 1G and 1A. 3-0 Buffalo. *** Moments later, Matt Moulson throws a puck at Miller's FEET and it eludes him. Looked like Tavares touched it, but he did not. Okposo with assist. 4-1 Buffalo: Here comes Marty! Hecht blo...
...ichol deflected Semin’s cross-ice pass to the side boards and hooked the Washington forward as he turned to retrieve the puck. This all happened 50 FEET from the Sharks net. Verdict: Not forced, not a necessity. 4) Derek Joslin high sticking penalty – Semin had beaten Joslin wide to the outsi...
...13:27. Grier cross checks Abdelkader, now Holmstrom and the Wings are on the PP..... *** 1-1 @ 15:30, Kronwall throws a puck at Miller's FEET and Val Filppula taps her home. 1-1 *** 2nd Period: Sabres controlled play in the first half of the period, largely due to a fierce f...
...r games of the season. 1. Dany Heatley - Heatley spent the first two games of the season waiting for the puck to come to him. He's been moving his FEET during the last two games, producing four goals and silencing his critics with some inspired play. Heatley's shot is just so hard, his release so...
...ly deflate you. It just really depends on how you take that adversity. I think our fans really help us out. With them cheering, and standing on their FEET, in a home opener in the first game in our building… that's huge for us. It gives us confidence and it obviously showed because we go out there...
...nded a game for his charging incident against the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday. I thought the hit itself was clean, but obviously you can’t race 40 FEET across the ice to paste a guy in the corner. While Staubitz received the suspension Shelley got the worst of the melee that followed, absorbing R...
...me it on Nabokov if you’d like, because he’s an obvious scapegoat for the Sharks’ current problems. However, placing the Sharks troubles at his FEET is a lot like complaining about one leaky faucet on the roster, while the entire franchise’s infrastructure crumbles around you. *** Ther...
... street when I was 10, I was Grant Fuhr. I had Fuhr everything in my bedroom, I wore a Fuhr mask...etc. While the Creator did not grant me functional FEET, she did give me the ability to babble. You may have noticed my writing style is a tad conversational; I write like I speak. Some people, like my...
...tka and Turco look pretty foolish. Speaking of Turco, he wasn't terrible. He was screened a little bit by Daley on Gagner's goal (though Daley was 20 FEET away from him), and Grossman deflected the Grebeshkov goal in. He just looked like he was fighting himself a lot (and his defenders) and having t...
... for Buffalo's success against the Dawgs: * Get pucks deep and plaster their D's faces to the glass. * Make theyotes D have to skate the full 200 FEET to contest and recover pucks. * Clean entries. * Strong recoveries. * Create O-zone time with puck possession. * Eliminate the cutesy carries...
...ensive zone coverage and more so awareness. Against Boston and to some degree Philadelphia, the Canes had far too many of those plays where players' FEET were generally where they were supposed to be (covering the front of the net, skating with an opponent coming in, etc.), but they seemed to very ...
