... matters worst, both of those last period penalties were taken in the attacking zone. Taking a penalty to prevent a goal is one thing, taking one 200 FEET away from your own net when your team is desperately trying to get back in the game is quite another matter and last night both Gallagher and Ril...
Follow me on Twitter @ToddCordell Here are five things to watch when the New Jersey Devils take on the Colorado Avalanche: 1. David vs Goliath Heading into the season the Avalanche were billed by many as the new kid on the block most likely to take the next step and contend for a Stanley Cu...
... at the deadline in a 2-time Stanley Cup defender. I just wouldn't expect much back. * Trade Drake Caggiula – once he gets healthy and gets his FEET back under him of course. The Drake makes $1.5M this year and is an impending RFA. I like him and his game, however, he's a bottom 6 guy that...
...er is ‘yes’. Since being acquired, Duclair has been a really positive story for an organization that has lacked them. He works hard. He moves his FEET. He’s consistently among the most entertaining players on the ice. Simply, he looks like a player who could contribute with the Senators for ma...
... a Ranger. Before the game, Quinn was asked about what makes Panarin special. “When you’ve got the brain that he has, and the hands and the FEET that work together, I think that creates a player with elite ability,” Quinn said. “And one of the things that he’s done, in particular the...
Sunday December 1 - Edmonton Oilers 3 - Vancouver Canucks 2 Back in Vancouver but with barely a moment to get their FEET under them, the Vancouver Canucks fell victim to Edmonton's Big Two as Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid guided the Oilers to a 3-2 win in the back half of the teams' weekend h...
...was typically the Achilles heel. Pure stats analysts separate the play of the goalie and the scoring of the forward. They tend to view the two as 200 FEET apart and more distant than that as being relevant. For those who watch the game, there are two known factors that turn everything on its head. G...
...game bans? Disgraceful https://t.co/mzaglmL6BB— SabresBuzz (@SabresBuzz) November 26, 2019 The four on ice officials who were positioned mere FEET away from this assault claimed to not have seen it. Such bullsh*t! Ok, Tim Peel, Chris Schlenker, David Brisebois, and Derek Nansen. You fai...
... 5 minutes later from Eric Robinson after Detroit lost an offensive zone faceoff. It turns out faceoffs can, indeed, make a huge difference. Even 200 FEET away. Tyler Bertuzzi’s 2nd of the night brought Detroit within 1 with 3:14 remaining in regulation, but the club couldn’t close the gap an...
...tle repeatedly -- and winning those battles -- with Jordan Staal. First period shots ended up 11-7 Flyers. Active sticks in the lanes and keeping FEET moving were the keys to the turnaround in the latter part of the first period. An example: Frost was the first to a loose puck in a Carolina zone...
...anded, no-less. Regardless of that, Krueger called Asplund's debut, "outstanding," which those watching couldn't disagree with. "He was moving his FEET all the time, both sides of the puck, the penalty kill, he was creating offensive chances, he played without fear and showed a lot of courage. ...
... am tired of getting emails from him saying 'What the hell is going on with our best players?" "Jamie Benn hasn't scored a goal from longer than 5 FEET all year," Lites said. "He makes plays in the neutral zone that if my kid had done it in squirts, he'd be benched. Am I wrong? He turned the puck...
... against Lias Andersson. Seconds later, Schenn snapped a quick shot that found the corner of the net. If Haley had skated the puck a few more FEET forward and not tried the risky pass, the Lightning wouldn’t have gotten that opportunity. And then the score exploded to 4-0 before the fir...
...ired a torpedo at me during a Phoenix game when I was working with Paul Devorski. Devo ducked and I called an in-zone high stick in the slot from 30 FEET away (positioning sells calls). Cherry, being Grapes, questioned whether I had the authority to call a penalty in zone "in front of my partner...
...the level of patience for different kinds of folks has shrunk like the size of the defensemen, The mean height of the D-men is not much more than six FEET, their mean genes been shuttered by the post-lockout decree against the good ‘ol cross check in the back. Come back, Chris Pronger, please. A...
...n far too long Detroit has a shooter. Seeing the puck on Mantha’s stick on a breakaway with 30 seconds left in a 2-2 game brought the fans to their FEET. Big Mo’s shot kept them there. Mantha now has 4 goals and 2 assists in 5 games vs VGK. Athanasiou had a goal, adding to his 2 assists in p...
...eemed to lack the killer instinct. They played so well in the first and then kind of looked like they thought: "ok, we've done enough" and took their FEET off the gas pedal. Against an ailing Kings team, this is not fatal but if they do that against a good team, they will pay the price. In the g...
...he first time in the summer of 2022. Lindblom staked the Flyers to a 2-0 lead at 18:28 of the opening stanza. Before that, Travis Konecny kept his FEET moving and drew an interference penalty on Toronto's Ilya Mikheyev for the Flyers' second power play of the game. The Giroux unit was unable to s...
...hed the game with a +4 in Scoring Chances differential and a +7 in shot attempts. Point won 10 faceoffs and lost two at 5v5. He was a macher over 200 FEET. When on the same line with Kucherov, Point is at his best when he splits his time feeding Kucherov and creating chances for himself. He checked ...
...Saturday Sabres grinder Zemgus Girgensons were to deliver the same hit to the right knee of Steven Stamkos or Brayden Point while the puck was 50-60 FEET away fom the collision. What then? You better believe there would be outrage. And rightly so. After the game, Sobotka was seen wearin...
