... the season. One has to wonder if we will hear in a few days his leaping to his fave baseball team. One hopes. Because good guys should land on their FEET. Botta was one of the good guys....one of the most candid, blunt, wry wits that I have had privilege to work with in hockey. Many news hounds...
... rink or performing in a meaningless exhibition. Wayne Gretzky wasn’t the fastest or the strongest, but he worked harder than anyone every time his FEET hit the ice. Nobody had to tell him to do it. The Sharks approached the regular season as if it were a glorified practice, simply 82 exhibitio...
...lay the entire year in the NHL. Granted, he won’t likely light it up his first year, but a 30+ point rookie season would be a great way to get your FEET wet in the NHL for Hornqvist. I was told that Hornqvist, “could be on the cusp of the NHL and make an impact.” 4. At this point I wouldn’t...
...ts best hockey of the series for a full 60 minutes. The Flyers need to do a better job of clearing the zone, staying out of the box and keeping their FEET moving for three periods. They also must do a better job on defensive zone faceoffs, especially when shorthanded. Montreal had 13 minutes worth ...
Well, I decided to refer back to what I said from my last blog after game two and see if anything had changed after the Sharks’ latest 2-1 OT loss to the Dallas Stars. Unfortunately for Sharks fans, not much changed, and I’m still playing that Creedence Clearwater Revival song on repeat. Exce...
...iving that goes on leaguewide, and the goalies are often among the biggest offenders. But that goes for any player on the ice. Players give up their FEET too easily these days and immediately look up at the ref. During the Caps series, when Scott Hartnell played dead on a play, he deserved to ge...
...shot to put the Maple Leafs into the Stanley Cup semifinals for the only time in Ballard's ownership tenure (1972-90). McDonald's low wrister from 30 FEET capped off a brutally physical, back-and-forth series with the favoured New York Islanders -- giving Toronto the victory in overtime of Game 7 at...
...ce to elevate his level of play from the first two games. For the Flyers to win, they will need to: * continue their fast starts * keep their FEET moving * reduce turnovers and cut the gap defensively * continue getting men to the net and shooting from all angles on Price * play discipl...
...ming puck, but I find it hard to believe Marleau intentionally avoided the shot by jumping out of the way. Plus, he couldn’t have been more than 15 FEET away from Modano. That means he would need to have remarkable reflexes to consciously leap over the puck, which could have been traveling upwards...
...f getting their nose dirty, nor did they do the little things to be successful. As well, Heatley took a few selfish penalties for lack of moving his FEET. Sure both players are going to be a little more successful playing with star players but what Sens fans are anxiously awaiting to see is i...
...t 30-plus shots in the series, so the Flyers as a team need to mirror what the fourth line did in providing two of the team's three goals: move their FEET, forecheck hard and get people moving to the net and slot. That's how you create your own good luck. Flyers lines and scratches (Subject to...
...visible than the door I accidentally ran into today. Seriously, it came out of nowhere. I think Soupy looked a little better tonight, leaving his FEET to stop a two-on-one early in the first. It was a great defensive play. He had more room and time to move with the puck this time around, and ...
...e and go to create Colorado's opening tally. Late in the second period, shortly after Colorado made it a one-goal game, he got caught not moving his FEET and took his arm off the stick to hold an Avalanche crossing the Wings blueline. He has his strengths (blocking shots and physical play), but I ...
...ies with the Montreal Canadiens. I'm not going to rehash yesterday's preview blog, except to note that it's critical for the Flyers to keep their FEET moving, maintain a tight gap defensively and protect the puck from Montreal's transitional game. That may prove tough in the club's third game i...
..., and Sabres? The regulation ice surface in the NHL is 200' x 75', but the rinks in these three former NHL buildings were all shorter then 200 FEET. The ice in Buffalo was 196', in Boston it was 191', and Chicago had the shortest at 188' - a full dozen FEET under regulation length. As with th...
...ot “Youpi” who have been attending twice weekly voodoo classes. Before the game, Youpi and Streit were spotted furtively handing out lucky rabbit FEET to all Habs players and coaches. They were also seen placing cement around the hands of miniature doll versions of Patrice Bergeron, Marc Savard,...
...period of Game 7 on Tuesday before rescuing the game and series in overtime. For the Flyers to be successful in this series, they must keep their FEET moving and not allow their energy level to drop. The will is there, but we'll have to see how well their legs hold up. Officiating Expect...
...hough the Flyers continued to play a strong physical game, especially Mike Richards' shadowing of Alex Ovechkin, the Caps were beginning to get their FEET moving and were starting to move the puck the way they like. Soon enough this resulted in another tally for the Caps. Sneaking through Philly'...
...cheering that gets louder by the minute. No “clap your hands” flashing on the jumbo-tron, no music playing to pump them up, just 17,000+ on their FEET and making noise in support of their team…unreal… 8) The Lines to the Bathroom – As a woman it’s really not all that uncommon, but ironi...
...ink it's important for no other reason then it's the best tool we have to defend, to be honest with you. I think it's very important that we move our FEET and finish our checks and get people pushed off the puck." Translation: "We will keep punking the Caps until the NHL commissioner tells us not...
