...ll did not bail! He's never been a gem in the face-off circle, but he was unbelievable this year (considering he has trouble spotting the puck at his FEET, this is sure proof of Koivu's dedication to hard work). He also hit career highs for goals and points. Bash him for being minus 21 on the year, ...
...the slot. DISCIPLINE Hey Janny B...I know you're here, there and everywhere. That's fine. Just stop hooking players and start moving your FEET, ok? That goes for every Vancouver player. The Canucks have the best penalty kill in the league, but that's also a product of taking far too ma...
...kill - SJ: 83.3%, 14th, NSH: 85.8%, 3rd Almost like the chicken and the egg, it's been debated heavily ever since man first strapped skates to his FEET whether a strong penalty kill will eventually overcome a strong power play, or vice versa. Since neither team has both, the special teams battle ...
...call it the warrior pose) with my arm outstretched trying to get quotes from Kevin Bieksa as my recorder hung perilously close to falling amongst the FEET of reporters. And what do you think is the key component to any media scrum? You guessed it: Fresh gum. With all that being said, here'...
...at end], but we still weren’t a very good hockey club.” ** All the injuries … 301 man games lost … Peter Forsberg playing on two left FEET, so to speak given his problems with the right foot. “If you want to look for an excuse, you can, but we should be better than to hide behi...
Joe Thornton absolutely crushed Matt Cooke into the boards from five FEET away with a bodycheck that looked horrifying and frightening in real-time. It actually took my breath away. Thornton left the ice bloodied, and then returned with less than a minute to play in the third to earn an assist...
...Flyers and Edmonton Oilers. To this day, I still gasp in horror when Ron Hextall turns over the puck with 10 seconds left in the game; caught five FEET outside his net on a failed clearing pass up the middle. It's almost as though this will be the time Hextall doesn't recover in time to make one ...
...ate in the year and play in the National Hockey League and have done very well. "We gave him opportunity to get involved in practice. He has great FEET, great mobility. Good awareness on the ice and he has good puck skills." More on Parent later today ... I have to catch a mini-jet to the B...
...l happened in the second and third Friday night? What happened to them in the second and third on Saturday night? You can't lay this one at the FEET of Ryan Miller. He had the night off. I point the finger of blame at the Sabres' D corps for laying down last night. Kalinin, Teppo, Spacek...
I was watching some of the Flyers/Canes game last night. Nice tight shot during the warm-up of Biron's eyes, just like a wolf. It's like he borrowed Alex Pierson's contact lenses or for those of you outside of Toronto, it was like he borrowed that guys contact lenses from that Gary Busey classic Sil...
.... He is the only person in the box tonight defending the "non-call" to Deni Gauthier. He says Gauthier turned and saw the check. I say Adams left his FEET, charged from more than two strides, and began his check with Gauthier's head bent down and vulnerable. BTW: Hatcher just scored his third g...
...e against them. He adds some physical play, but nobody's going to mistake him for Kirk Maltby out there, and his shots usually miss the mark by seven FEET. Hannan sat against the Kings, resting a sore groin, and Davison didn't look out of place playing his first game in a month. rgarner@thnewsnet...
...dow of the guy we saw last season. He'd often try to swing wide around defenseman, avoiding traffic and throwing harmless wrist shots on goal from 30 FEET out. Well, he's a completely different player out there right now, driving to the net, fighting for loose pucks, and shooting with confidence. ...
...onen giving the Penguins a 2-1 advantage. I am trying to figure out what Lehtonen was doing down while the puck was in the corner, had he been on his FEET hugging the post he would have made the stop. It happens, but it was a shame to see his superb effort wasted. The Thrashers, who were really ...
...nguins net saw Daniel Alfredsson instinctively dart after a loose puck, as would any responsible forward. Pittsburgh goalie Marc-Andre Fleury was two FEET outside the paint (his semi-oval goalcrease) and Alfredsson had no option but to collide with him. Somehow, referee Mick McGeough judged the play...
... PP. The Buffalo penalty kill was litless and lazt today. Witness Tkachuk's game winner, all alone in the slot. There wasn't a Buffalo Dman with five FEET of Tkachuk as he took the centering pass from teh corner, turned, and ripped the winner past Miller. The Sabres PP and PK units better get i...
...for the Vancouver Giants team picture yesterday. I couldn't track him down all night - all I wanted was one picture, but he's still too quick on his FEET. On to the game. I've already rambled on enough, so I'm going to fast-forward to the best shift of the year for the Sedin Twins. Henri...
...put it this way. There are lesser players who play in the NHL as 5th or 6th defensemen. Giroux is about Lasse Kukkonen's size and build-- listed at 6-FEET, but probably a bit smaller. He's smaller than average for a defenseman, but not small. The second player is Cory Murphy. Murphy (listed at 5-...
...* Conklin impressed me with his strong play . I wouldn't point the point the finger of blame at Conks for the Weiss goal. The Sabres D had happy FEET. The Sabres were effective when they moved their FEET to loose pucks. They looked ordinary while standing around. Danny Briere nearly tied ...
... Bester heard guffaws in the late-'80s when cement-gloved opponents like Sergio Momesso were found capable of beating him between the wickets from 80 FEET out. Future hall of famer Larry Murphy was booed out of town on a terrible Leaf team in the mid-'90s, bringing into question the supposed "intell...
