...sn’t really centered around cataclysmic hits, but about disrupting the game. He excels at sealing the boards, often pinning puck carriers, trapping FEET, and forcing pucks to the outside, showcasing his cerebral approach to the game.” The Victoria, BC native is slated to go the US College rou...
...been widely circulated video footage of him dancing aboard a moving party bus and pre-wedding photos that included Johansen lifting his bride off her FEET -- could not have been totally coincidental. That may not have more than loose circumstantial evidence that the player's hip condition (for which...
...footage of him dancing and whooping it up on a party bus hired for the celebration as well as pre-wedding photos of him lifting his new bride off her FEET. Does that matter? Ordinarily, no. But when a hockey player is claiming he has a severe hip issue that's too severe to participate in an upcom...
...as available to him. In terms of playing time with the Phantoms last season, the plan all along was for Kolosov to get into a few games to get his FEET wet but mainly to get a sense of the practice and off-ice routines. Contrary to some media speculation, he wasn't "angered" by backing up veteran...
...sen. Felix Sandstrom was relegated to being a healthy scratch. None of that was unexpected, as the word all along was that Kolosov would only get his FEET wet with the Phantoms during his short stay and would compete for more playing time in 2024-25. According to several sources around the Phant...
...he six-mile course without uttering a complaint. It was only after he finished and removed his shoes that others noticed he had blisters all over his FEET, some of which had burst and were bleeding. The young player's dedication paid off. He won a place on Roger Neilson's roster and appeared in 6...
...the defensive defensemen of Brooks Orpik, Rob Scuderi, Darryl Sydor, and Hal Gill. Lastly, there was an unknown rookie on the squad just getting his FEET wet. The model isn’t kind to Gonchar. It leans into the defense and penalty killing metrics. It also shows the Penguins were using ...
...p seemed able to decide to regroup in the neutral zone for a more formative offensive attack as opposed to a lot of one and done hockey that goes 200 FEET every 20-30 seconds. It’s a fun watch if you have the time, but I expect there will be hilight reels made available. The whirlwind for the draf...
...a near 4 hour event. Pav had been playing through extensive damage and his unique stance (a bit pigeon toed) combined with his strength just wore his FEET out. You can see him walking a bit bow legged and he used that to his advantage. While it’s been an interesting back and forth regarding je...
... a combination of a lot of different things that he may have somewhat in common with a Lindholm and a Carlo type. He’s got a frame, he’s got good FEET. He likes to play, likes to impact, he likes to get up the ice. He can play an aggressive style. Puck play’s pretty good. He was used at times ...
...his new-found aggressiveness to shoot the puck more. “I used to just try and shoot around people, but now, I’ll grab the puck and take it two FEET this way and put myself in a position to shoot it,” Hughes says, discussing his adaptation as a goal-scoring threat. “It sounds simple, but g...
...aps a little bit of Guentzel’s goal scoring. Skinner will be entering his age 32 season so it isn’t fool proof. He’s always been light on his FEET with great edgework, but also with enough sandpaper to be sniffing around the netfront. If he can retain his edgework and ability to be shifty I...
...in 2023-24 was to help him prepare to play in North America by the 2024-25 season. He's brief late-season stint with the Phantoms was just to get his FEET wet. Lastly, Kolosov is under NHL contract for the next two season and he'd have been in breach of contract to simply pack up and go home. Ko...
...ng Loustarinen out of the game. The second came when Leon Draisaitl knocked Barkov out of the game after leading with his elbow (and leaving his FEET) to apply a hit that wound up in Barkov’s jaw. While Foegele was assessed a game misconduct for his dangerous knee-on-knee, Draisaitl rece...
...rapped on the knuckles. The hit by Leon Draisaitl on Aleksander Barkov on Monday was dirty, it was uncalled for, it saw the Oilers star leave his FEET and hit Barkov on the jaw with an elbow. The Selke Trophy winner did not return for the final 10 minutes of the game and Draisaitl was assessed a...
...ade his Liiga debut in the 2022–23 season and continued to show his strong hockey IQ. You take his high hockey knowledge and mold it with his quick FEET and high-end speed to create space and set himself and his teammates up for great scoring opportunities. He isn’t just a one-way player either ...
...shifted back to Philadelphia's brand new Wells Fargo Center (then called CoreStates Center). Flyers captain Eric Lindros brings the home crowd to its FEET as he opens the scoring with an early power play goal. The Philly fans are briefly silenced by back-to-back Rangers power play goals (Alexander K...
...ted, Reinhart is similar to Kreider in that he scores a lot of his goals from in front of the net. Three of his five playoff goals have come from 13 FEET and in from the net. The Barkov-Reinhart duo is joined by Tarasenko, who was with the Rangers after last year's deadline and was a deadline acqui...
...as he was brutal the first 40 minutes, shot a puck off Andersen's skate by the goal post. Andersen's issues of sealing the post and with pucks at his FEET bit him again, as Kreider stuffed in the backhand just inside the post at the 6:43 mark to make it 3-2 and give New York life. The Rangers st...
...igh Valley during the late stretch drive and Calder Cup playoffs. Rather, it was for him to get a head-start on preparing for next season and get his FEET wet in a little bit of game action (two starts). He dressed as Cal Petersen's backup in each of the six playoff games that the Phantoms played, r...
