... so far this season. Moreover, the big difference with Brannstrom compared to others – and it was noticeable tonight – is his ability to move his FEET. Good things happen when you put good young players in the lineup. Thumbs Up: DJ Smith’s Lineup Decisions It took a few games to get here, ...
...ers went 0-for-2. The first 12 minutes or so of the first period were atrocious for the Flyers: a parade of turnovers, poor passing and stationary FEET. It took 12 seconds for the Bruins to score as Pastrnak beat Shayne Gostisbehere off the rush and shoveled the puck at the net, which bounced of...
...NHLBlackhawks) February 3, 2021 The rush up ice to manufacture Patrick Kane's goal was the result of Dylan Strome, DeBrincat, and him keeping their FEET moving from the red line onward in order to maintain forward momentum. 5th Goal: Trocheck (2-3) •_•)<) )╯Stay / \ ( •_•) \( (>...
...her hand, NHL First Star of the Week Thatcher Demko will be back between the pipes. I don't really lay the blame for Monday's loss at Braden Holtby's FEET, but I do wonder if the flow of the game would have been different if Holtby had managed to ahold of the puck on this play that opened the scorin...
...t he can to keep up with the faster more talented Avalanche. Staying out of the box is one area to focus and that comes down to the Wild moving their FEET better. Yes, the Avalanche are very good and their speed and talent draws a large number of penalties on its own, however some of those Wild ...
...s) January 30, 2021 For a player criticized for his skating, Dylan Strome was active on the power play making his goal happen by never stopping his FEET and hovering in the tough areas around the slot. Strome first corraled the rebound off a Dominik Kubalik one timer saved by Joonas Korpisalo t...
...“Trying to build up and learn from my teammates and the coaching staff and fix those things. My game is playing fast, playing with speed, moving my FEET and creating things off that. That’s got to be my focus every night.” Brad Marchand knows a thing or two about the importance of the job a...
...idy. “But that was our message to him. He came in and I think he’s done what we’ve asked. We’re trying to get him up to speed to move his FEET on a consistent basis. But you got to be able to affect the forecheck and get your FEET moving on breakouts and I think he’s trying to be that ...
...atter, Carlsson is the way to go. He plays a steady defensive game based on net protection and physicality. Also, he can transition the puck with his FEET or crisp passing. Power Play DeBrincat and Boqvist are both fixtures on the top power play unit so that's two holes that need to be filled ...
...ce He didn’t show up on the scoreboard, but I thought Connor Brown had a quietly solid night. More than most of his teammates, Brown was using his FEET to create opportunities for himself; a breakaway chance in the first and a good off-wing charge to the net in the third stick out, in particular....
...iving up eight power play goals in 2 games will cause that. The Stars put on a power play clinic over these two games. Moving the puck, moving their FEET and generally making Nashville pay for every undisciplined move they made. Nashville special teams… well, they weren’t so special. The �...
... Wolanin's Return He was probably the team’s best defender tonight, his mistake on Kyle Connor’s goal notwithstanding. The way Wolanin moves his FEET makes him unlike most of the defensemen that DJ Smith has been dressing since the start of the season. He has the ability to get himself into the...
...y tallies shouldn’t be ignored in their significance. Hard fought, gritty, and Larkin was stirring the drink in a big way. Mantha is working on 200 FEET of ice. All three are. That in itself is a huge step in the right direction. Hronek still has impressive looks and is the clear blue line leader ...
...t is really nice to see Zaitsev string together a multi-game run of solid performances. Tonight, he once again looked like a defender who can use his FEET and who has the ability to move the puck up ice with regularity. His fifth (!) assist of the season was a perfect example of those attributes in ...
...lvis Merzlikins Dynamic and pretty much a 1A in Columbus Let’s look at the #1s.... Carter Hart Looking way more composed and staying on his FEET better since the bubble and into this season he is the most important player on the Flyers this season... MacKenzie Blackwood Quietly he migh...
...r. He handled the adversity perfectly and did not allow that to negatively affect his play. Kaprizov still played his game and continued to keep the FEET moving and looking to generate offense. Joel Eriksson Ek started the comeback with his first of the season 7:38 into the third period. Ek's li...

...ring on all cylinders and I think it is already time to put him up in the lineup where he can be a trigger man for McDavid. Until Turris can get his FEET moving and create some chances, the bottom six as a whole may need to adapt a bit more of a defensive game. Caleb Jones is trying to do too mu...
...to have added a little bit more muscle and, by his description, has found and is trying to maintain a comfortable playing weight. At camp, he had his FEET moving consistently, rather than going into glide mode to survey options. He was heavier on the puck, not getting knocked off as easily. He won m...
...shooting himself in the foot by his actions on the ice. His play was poor, the penalty was unnecessary, because it was a result of ADA not moving his FEET and reaching, and the unsportsmanlike conduct extra two minutes was the final nail in the coffin. Quinn is going to coach the team as he sees fit...
