... see if he can keep it going or if he'll go the next six games without a point. It's such a dramatic difference between the Cheechoo who's moving his FEET and confident with the puck and the Cheechoo who's standing still and, shooting from the half boards and staying away from the corners. Weekly...
...illed guy who may not get another look with the big club until training camp. He's not known for his jam and slam, as much as he is for his hands and FEET. A nice player to be sure, however, Ryan would not be Lindy Ruff's first call-up in a time of need coming down the stretch as Rochester is loaded...
... time and the play was nothing more than stick on stick contact. Where has the referee’s feel for the game gone? Ian Walsh was standing two FEET away from the play and was looking directly at both players. He didn’t call the penalty. Instead it was Dan O’Rourke that raised his r...
Sit back in your recliners Shark fans, put your FEET up and enjoy a weekend uncluttered by box scores and injury reports. Take comfort in an Anaheim loss to Dallas (in a game so boring it would have given soccer fans reason to complain) because it's time to recharge your batteries and take stock of...
...uy on the team. Luckily the boys should be use to it and hopefully Bob will put together a nice wake up morning skate to really get everyone on their FEET. Anyways back on track, that was a little bit of a digression. Although we fought to the end we did have a little trouble getting this game s...
...ter it.” Mike Richards had an accurate observation about the fans. "You could see the relief in the crowd, too," he said. "They were on their FEET near the end ..." Detroit comes in Monday night ... gonna be a long shot for the Flyers to keep the home "winning" streak going. BTW: Flyer...
...or substitutions. To compensate for the lack of goalies, the nets are reduced in size from the standard sized hockey nets. The nets remain the full 6 FEET in width but are only 10 "high. The games are played on 20 rinks co-located on Lake Roulston. This year, teams with names like; Cornerbrook E...
...hes, but Bieksa rag-dolled him for a bit in front of his teammates at the bench. Bieksa looked like a hunting dog dropping a dead duck at his owners FEET waiting for a reward. But he got nothing for his efforts. Zip, zilch, zero. A wasted effort and a wasted two points for the boys toni...
...save', for example. In a previous blog, I outlined the style that Raycroft played, going down initially too fast, while not recovering back onto his FEET fast enough. This was a major problem throughout the first half, exemplified in sketchy performances in November and December. On the save agai...
...on’t scare them. That was evident early on as Seabrook took exception to a no call charge on Keith by Phaneuf. No need to take steps and leave your FEET Dion, after all Keith is the smallest dman on the team. Keith being the agile guy that he is avoided most of the contact. Seabrook has been show...
...r having it on their stick, tell the 3 forwards to go to the net. At any point where a player with the puck on his stick can count 2 Canes within 15-FEET of the goalie and can find any kind of shooting lane, throw the puck in there. The way out of a powerplay slump is almost always ugly goals not ...
... along with Tuesday's loss to the Avalanche are the first back to back losses for the Preds since early December. It's hard to lay this one at the FEET of Tomas Vokoun, he appeared solid for most of the game. The Preds were playing very loose with the puck and again seemed to be looking for the ...
...hings to win games: 1). Dan Paille freight-training ZChara on the halfwall in last night's win in Boston was a thing of beauty. Danny stands 6 FEET and a buck ninety. Chara 7'3" on skates and 270 lbs. It doesn't matter. Paille caught the pinching Dman in a vulnerable position and finished his...
...nd and sweeping laterally across the ice and getting a great shot on goal. The vision is still there to make passes. When he feels comfortable on his FEET his is a one-on-one threat again.” I liked how he was weaving up the ice the way I remember doing it in Colorado. “I think I had more c...
... In a pre-game ritual for most NHL teams, Henrik and Daniel Sedin were outside the dressing room juggling a soccer ball. Both have pretty good left FEET I might add. One of the Sedin Twins (don't ask me who) lunged for a ball and got a little too much leg on it. The ball ricocheted off the wall,...
..... OK, makes sense... let's grab a seat at the bar... hmmm... no TV's at the bar, we have to try and watch a hockey game on a 27" screen from 30 FEET away?? Nah... let's go down to the bar on the first floor... OK... that's better... 5 different TV's to choose from, all HD, alrighty t...
...s room to watch the third period on deadline and get closer to the dressing rooms, and there’s “Rail cam” running across my big screen TV three FEET from my face at the press table. Is it any wonder Bruce Garrioch and myself had severe dizzy spells after the game? We had to find a bar jus...
... recovery after contact. When Williams bangs, gets banged or goes shoulder to shoulder with another guy he seems to always be the one who rights his FEET first and starts playing the puck rather than trying to get himself back on top of his skates. He also throws in Ron Francis-like mixed bag of t...
...e at their meetings in Dallas, I felt like I took a swift kick in the ribs from a bully who already had me down and out, struggling to get back to my FEET. In all my years of following the NHL, I've never felt so close to forfeiting my fandom as I have during the first three or four months of t...
...as just the hockey gods getting it right, but it is funny how 1 game a bunch of pucks hit things and end up in the net and another day pucks roll 2-4 FEET wide about a dozen times like in the Washington game. 5) Inability to finish. For once the Canes staked an early lead and also had lead in th...
