... of a chance on either of them. The first one was through a screen of 3 players and the second came when Sami Salo couldn’t control the puck in his FEET and Nikolai Zheredev pounced on it, quickly snapping it by the surprised net minder. Zheredev is being widely lauded for his improved attitude an...
...r and not contributing much more than his skating and the occasional goal or assist. Phil out-skates everyone but his brain has not caught up to his FEET. Neither have his line-mates. Phil has been showing signs of improvement and could easily bump his grade up before the end of the year but he�...
...s unfortunate to see Patrice Brisebois get hurt, but it’s also unfortunate to see him not willing to take a hit to make a play. For instance, all 5 FEET 9 inches, and 180 lbs of Marty Straka being heavily avoided on the forecheck by Brisebois is an embarrassing way for a defenseman to conduct hims...
..., no question.” – Barry Trotz on the strong Preds special teams play. “I think J.P., the big thing with J.P. is that he is really moving his FEET now and his leadership has come to the forefront in a critical time. He’s really stepped up. He’s going and doing the hard things. Alot of as...
...oks off still, but to be expected. Gaborik and Demitra split up looks to be working very well. Carney played well (for an old guy), but he left his FEET alot. I wonder if that's why Lemaire sits him so much? Next up, Calgary followed by Anaheim (both at home) and then it's on the road to Vancouv...
...on. He's never complacent. He's never satisfied. ******** Derek Roy and Max Afinogenov were on press row for the game. They were on their FEET for OT and The Shootout. Roy told me that he's feeling better, The team has today off and they start to prepare for The Rangers on Monday. Can...
... P.J. was out with a foot problem. This has been a common theme for Bruins this year with Ward and Thornton both missing time for broken or bruised FEET. We might have to add Reich to this list too depending on how he reacts to that shot block from today. I think calling up Vladimir Sobotka wa...
...tage at 5:47 on an offensive zone hooking penalty by Petteri Nokelainen. The Flyers generated little on ensuing powerplay. * The Bruins have their FEET moving much better than they did early in the game and have had the better of the play in this period. * Kessel deflects a shot at 8:52, but N...
...goal he will ever get and that includes any empty netters he would get. Finally the game ends 6-4! Brassard's Debut Derick Brassard got his FEET wet last night with 10 shifts, 6:36 of ice time of which 2:05 of it was on the powerplay. Only won 1 of 5 faceoffs which won't bode well for him ...
...talent from the Devils. But alas, this story just never ends that way. Brodeur found his game along the way just like he always has, Sutter got his FEET under him and the skaters are playing the same sound Devils game of years past even minus Gomez and Rafalski. So entering Thurday's game in Rale...
... then, absolutely slamming the door on Shean Donovan. Great saves from in close. ***** Hecht and Ryan take off on a 2 on 1---- 55 fires it 10 FEET wide right! ********* The Goose took Chris Neil off the puck with a clean body check behind the play. Neil and Goose tossed the miits...
...ical presence, almost effortlessly sending bodies toppling when he finishes his checks, and he's one of the team's best forecheckers when he gets his FEET moving. However, he won't produce from the fourth line. Curtis Brown - C+ 18: 0-2-2, +2 Quarter-season grade - B- Steady, solid and unspe...
...ll times. However, too many of them have fallen into a habit often associated with puppy dogs and pretty girls, locking their eyes on him while their FEET stop moving. It happened to Jonathan Cheechoo earlier this season, watching and waiting for Jumbo Joe to create the play. He now finds himself...
... very accurate. I heard someone say he could not shoot it through the opening where the Zamboni drives in but he could put it through the glass three FEET next to the opening. Christian is another guy who could help turn the PP woes around, if he could just harness that shot. He is second on the tea...
...k, but he gives up size against virtually every opponent. Over the course of his career, he's made up for it with savvy and by constantly keeping his FEET moving. The work ethic is still there -- as evidenced by his 29 hits, and 13 takeaways to nine giveaways. But Sami can't score enough anymore...
...ing and there contributions to today's game are not complete. Tyler Kennedy looks quicker than usual and is having a great game. He is moving his FEET, like always, and getting to loose pucks. The power play is moving the puck well and getting its chances. They will have 1:41 remaining to st...
...ckey drifted to the wrong side. Figren's shot from the right circle hits Mason in the shoulder. Marchand nabbed for charging at 13:07. He left his FEET to check Figren. Giroux stripped the much bigger Victor Hedman of the puck and killed off several seconds behind the net. Later on the advantage,...
...flection out of the gate) were not his fault. But at the same time, early on he looked overanxious and like he was trying to defend a net that was 2 FEET wider on each side. He was out of position 3-4 times in the 1st half of the game and was fortunate that the puck ended up on the stick of a back...
...at those guys have to do at those times if you're going to be a successful team. Thats certainly a goal scorers goal when you throw a wrister from 30 FEET. Ya know, it just changed the game back". Ottawa had the MOMENTUM at 3-0. They lost it for a while. Then, like a thief in the night, Heatley...
...ng I hope other Kings’ follow. This seems simple in principle but impossible on execution for some reason. The players need to not only move their FEET so they outwork their opponents, but move their sticks as well. Think of it like the miniature golf course hole where the place for the golf bal...
