GARTH'S CORNER: Wowie Housley Hired

June 15, 2017 - 12:11 PM ET

...ostalgic because I covered Housley and the Sabres from 1986-1990. "Wowie" was as electric a player as Gilbert Perreault was. He brought fans to their FEET when he grabbed the puck and started wheeling. I purposely parked car here. It's the exact spot where the facade for The Aud Club used t...

Paul Stewart: Officiating By Proxy: What You Need to Know About Skating & Positioning

June 13, 2017 - 8:10 AM ET

...ey, too, were listening intently as Grampy dissected the game and even critiqued his own son as Bill Jr. reffed this fierce college rivalry. A few FEET away, I was there, soaking it all in. I just loved being around the game. Somehow, I kept it in my mind for the future day that I would eventual...

...vement, in terms of getting into the offensive zone quickly and moving the puck around so that the opposing PK didn't have a lot of time to get their FEET settled. If they couldn't create a chance off the rush, they tended to rely on quick passes around the perimeter to open up lanes across the midd...

...o status in Game 3 of the 2013 Eastern Conference Finals. With the Bruins on the penalty kill, Campbell blocked a shot, and then got back to his FEET and continued to try and kill the penalty, clearly struggling to even stand, let alone move. After he made his way down the tunnel and back to th...

Paul McCann: Why must Crosby be media protected?

June 9, 2017 - 11:17 AM ET

... last night, taking it to the Nashville Predators by a score of 6-0 and taking control of the final series 3 games to 2. This one is not laid at the FEET of one player… this one belongs to the team. The Nashville Predators got steamrolled last night, full marks to the Penguins. They showed up ...

Todd Cordell: Don't worry about Cory Schneider

June 7, 2017 - 12:59 PM ET

...ood numbers. High-danger saves, on the other hand, are more skill driven. Stopping NHL shooters is very hard. Stopping NHL shooters when they're 8 FEET in front of you and have space to work with is even harder. I don't think you can really fluke your way into stopping high-danger shots on a ...

Sheng Peng: Game 4 Rewind: What Did Penguins Exploit? What Are Predators Feasting On?

June 6, 2017 - 4:08 AM ET

...ad. But then Neal, in Josi's position, misses Josi, who's playing forward, on the pass. Josi chases the puck and Neal, inexplicably, stops moving his FEET. Here, Crosby simply mugged Josi in the corner. Watch Crosby's foot, this is "best player in the world" stuff. Here, Weber, who got...

June 5, 2017 - 9:21 AM ET

... looks to be just a shade over the height of longtime Flyer Danny Briere -- a player with some similarities. Frost is extremely fast when he gets his FEET moving (you don't win Fastest Skater at Top Prospects by being slow) but will have adapt to the pro pace. There's a very scarce number of NHL pla...

Paul Stewart: The Expert on Putrescence

...by the ref, who was too deep and too far away to convince me that he had a good view. I would say that he was looking through the goalie at about 65 FEET away, which is too far for my liking......"Positioning sells calls." Get closer, get a good look and then remember, every call is pivotal, so dol...

Lucas Neilson: Leafs Spotlight: Kasperi Kapanen

June 1, 2017 - 11:30 AM ET

... hard for Babcock to change the lines. What the Leafs coach sees in the right handed winger is a very fast versatile player who is hungry to get his FEET wet in the National Hockey League and makes his way up the lineup. He’s eager to prove his worth to not only his coach but his teammates and h...

Paul McCann: Three little words and the GBU

June 1, 2017 - 9:54 AM ET

.... What… you are surprised I didn’t say goaltender Pekka Rinne? He’s a part of it… but it is way too simplistic to lay it all at Rinne’s FEET. He didn’t look comfortable between the pipes last night, fighting the puck and trying to do a little too much… that being said… The tyin...

I love watching my 16 month old son pick up the mini stick, shoot the puck (a couple of FEET anyways) and put both arms up in the air and say “GOAL”. Hockey is a family affair in my household and I love that it is something that brin...

... too much and needs go calm his game a bit... He sometimes focuses too much on the puck and loses his guy in the back of plays... He keeps his FEET moving all the time. It has been said that he is a great skater but the way he keeps going and never quits on plays is really impressive... [M...

HockeyBuzz Hotstove: Who is the best defenseman on the Nashville Predators?

May 31, 2017 - 10:42 AM ET

...the biggest difference at a time on the ice? Talent wise and the ability to make that one play which gets everyone in the stands standing on their FEET, it has to be PK Subban. Overall skill set level to me is Roman Josi, as he has the offensive ability coupled with strong defensive skills. The m...

Paul Stewart: Bad Replay Angles Can Deceive

May 26, 2017 - 8:55 AM ET

...re skewed. My grandfather had the best possible angle to see whether or not Boudreau's glove was actually tagging Masi, and the umpire was only a few FEET away. To his dying day in 1964, Bill Stewart Sr. always insisted that he made the right call on the play. One time when I was very young, I a...

...staff will once again be focused upon prospects. The measured approach Botterill's employing right now is perfect for the mountain of tasks at his FEET right now and to his credit he knows a hasty decision does no one any good. Besides, the two front-runners are still in the playoffs and there's ...
