July 7, 2017 - 7:11 AM ET

... The prime directive for the Officials in the NHL and every other league is to get the calls right, by any means necessary.

July 4, 2017 - 8:59 AM ET

...bothers me when I see players or officials act like restless five-year-olds when the anthems play. Don't stand there cracking gum. Don't shuffle your FEET.

Ryan Wilson: New center option available

June 30, 2017 - 2:10 PM ET

.... He is not a fast skater, but can think the game fast. He is a good passer and can help facilitate transition. Playing fast is not only with your FEET, but with the puck as well. Jokinen does the latter quite well. No need to spend assets when good value is staring you in the face. Save ...

June 29, 2017 - 9:52 AM ET

...n Saturday and paid a lot, probably more than he's worth, and certainly more than the Hawks can afford. So while it "seems" to make sense from 30,000 FEET, it's also kind of a head scratcher. An alternate scenario is the Hawks' interest is quite real—that Alzner would be a panacea for Joel Quen...

Lucas Neilson: The Maple Leafs are thieves: Timothy Liljegren

June 26, 2017 - 2:30 PM ET

...sn’t the easiest name to type off the get go, personally I look forward to Don Cherry saying his name on Coaches Corner. Timothy hovers around 6 FEET tall and 195 pounds; he’s got a fortune of upside, especially for a player picked that low in round one. He’s a smart player with the puck a...

...wever, they're concerned about his skating: His skating fundamentals are strong and he is effective at changing directions... Despite his quick FEET, he does not often cleanly beat defensemen wide and his top-end speed in stride does not generate great separation. His skating is strongest in t...

...xperience) in their Hawk lineup, some as a first line right wing. Ummm . . . Setting that aside, Dauphin is a guy who goes to war every shift, his FEET are always moving, he comes out of scrums with pucks, and he's a legitimate center who can help kill penalties—something that may end up being ...

Jan Levine: Rangers complete draft w/ five more selections, initial way too early grade

June 25, 2017 - 2:25 AM ET

... Future Considerations, ranked 70: Chytil is a speedy player with good hockey sense and offensive skill. He is a very good skater, with very quick FEET and balance on his edges that allows him to generate good power from every stride and high-end acceleration in his first few steps. He uses his s...

Sheng Peng: Breaking Down VGK's Draft: Glass, Suzuki, Brannstrom, Hague, Leschyshyn

June 24, 2017 - 4:41 PM ET

... extremely frustrating. He had become prone to defensive zone turnovers and was having a real tough time with the forecheck, as he wasn't keeping his FEET moving and his decision making was a tad too slow. But he's really cleaned that up this postseason. I think it's still an area of concern for the...

Mike Augello: Day 2 in Chicago; Leafs select four blueliners in 2017 Draft

June 24, 2017 - 11:28 AM ET

...For a 6'6" defender, he skates fairly well. He protects the puck well and is very difficult to take the puck from when he's protecting and moving his FEET.

Rick Sadowski: Trade? Forward or D tonight?

June 23, 2017 - 2:24 PM ET

...it's the Avalanche's turn, but that could leave at least one of two highly-regarded defensemen -- Cale Makar or Miro Heiskanen -- available.
