Bill Meltzer: Wrap: TK Hatty Powers Flyers Past Pens, 5-2

January 15, 2021 - 10:43 PM ET

...ason games and not having played a game last year. It’s been over a year for him not playing a hockey game. For him to jump in right away with both FEET in, he’s been unbelievable. That’s got to be tough for anybody. To see him do it, it means a lot to us and to have him back with us, with our...

Carol Schram: Some good, some not-so-good as Canucks kick off with a split in Edmonton

January 15, 2021 - 12:39 PM ET

.... "It's probably the best I've felt since my rookie year," said the 23-year-old after the game. Both his goals were impressive wristers from about 20 FEET out, bringing back memories of the shot that was his trademark as he competed with Mat Barzal for the Calder Trophy — before that scary back in...

...igned the toughest matchups on a nightly basis whenever possible (save for the first games where the coach said it's important the d-corps "get their FEET under them.") Krueger finally did something with Rasmus Ristolainen no other coach had been able to do, get his ice-time down to a more manageabl...

January 13, 2021 - 8:59 AM ET

... the offseason, he worked to add some needed muscle mass to his frame. Throughout camp, he focused on being harder to knock off the puck, keeping his FEET moving to play at a quicker pace, winning more 50-50 puck battles and continuing to refine his defensive play. Frost saw shifts both at center (h...

...cored from the bottom of the right circle. Hayes scored again at 12:21. Farabee passed out from the corner to Hayes, who was on a side angle a few FEET from the right side of the net. On a second-effort play, Hayes scored low to Hart's glove side. In a real game this is one that Hart would have l...

...n uniform. Even Gordie Howe once had to suit up at the team motel and walk to the building. The pressbox was no better. The ceiling was only four FEET high, and many folks accidentally struck their head if they didn't stoop down enough. Radio broadcasters often learned the hard way. By compar...

...sion. Bill treats people how he'd want to be treated. He makes them feel special, and valued. I can tell you personally that he's made me feel 10 FEET tall several times when discussing articles or blogs that I've written. I always looked forward to seeing him in the commissary before games, and...

... of how you have performed thus for in camp? I don’t think anything too spectacular, but I like the way I’ve competed. I think I’m moving my FEET well. I think the thing for me is to just focus on some of the little details and hopefully the offense will come. I am just trying to focus on b...

Defensively, he was able to hold his own against pro-level opposition.” Those traits were apparent at ...

...ring his second full season after making his NHL debut against Calgary in Game 3 of the first round of the 2019 Stanley Cup playoffs.

Todd Cordell: One thing I'd like to see from each Calgary Flames forward in 2021

January 5, 2021 - 11:26 AM ET

...efensive stalwart, but I do think he can be better with more effort. Monahan does a lot of puck watching in the defensive zone. If he simply gets his FEET moving, and puts in the effort to get more involved in the play, I think it could make a difference. Elias Lindholm - More sharp shooting. Li...

Mark Pino: Krueger Likes Risto Toto

January 4, 2021 - 9:28 AM ET

...ll of the negativity and consternation during his career in Buffalo, the 26 year old thumping defenseman loves to bust chops and keep people on their FEET. Ristolainen doesn’t give a rat’s ass that there are two hockey mitts full of Swedish born players on the Sabres roster. *Sweden— Sabre...

Ben Shelley: Trevor Zegras has been dominant at World Juniors

January 2, 2021 - 12:29 PM ET

...een his shot. Zegras has scored a couple goals with a pinpoint-accurate wrist shot that’s been used anywhere from the top of the circle to about 10 FEET away from the net. He’s such a threat because when he enters the offensive zone with the puck, he has the ability to do just about what...

January 1, 2021 - 3:09 PM ET

...grind, with longer hours than usual, parties that took awhile to get going, and everybody a little uncomfortable in their formalwear. I remember sore FEET from my dress shoes, getting hiccups from champagne, and then the sheer impossibility of getting a cab at the end of the night. One year I walked...

Bill Meltzer: Quick Hits: Morin, Training Camp, TIFH

January 1, 2021 - 10:08 AM ET

...ony Duclair. The skating adjustments that Morin had to make had nothing to do with his straight-line ability but more with his pivots, and use of his FEET in close quarters (where his long reach was sometimes a disadvantage). The bigger adjustments had to do with decision-making both off-puck and on...

...nutes. US is owning the ice. Raymond breaks into the o zone and throws a HUGE hit, then gets a shot. Good physical play from LR. US gets the puck 200 FEET the other way and gets an opportunity. US scores another bad angle shot, Swedish goalie is a liability. Johansson, again, doesn’t get a sti...

December 31, 2020 - 12:41 PM ET

...o come up with an aerial defense a la the disputes over crossing the 38th parallel. Who owns the "air rights" to the blueline? Meanwhile, the dueling FEET with a skate in the air (since it would be onside to hover it) could increase the risk of additional skate-cut accidents. Skate cuts can be ve...

Jan Levine: Schneider looking at suspension, Berard pretty goal in WJC, Stepan to OTT

December 27, 2020 - 10:47 AM ET

... goalie. Schneider's hit landed him a game misconduct and should likely earn him a game suspension. While the elbow was in and he didn't leave his FEET, the principal point of contact was to the head by his shoulder. The opposing player's head was down and Schneider is a big blueliner, plus it wa...

...ll the fan experience look like? Certainly, much different than it was in March. "It's really entering the building, how to enter the building six FEET apart, how to go up escalators six FEET apart, where do the fans sit depending on if it's a family, restrooms are certainly outfitted for protect...
