...flects enough of the shot so that it hits the post rather than the net. Berglund has a chance to tie the game with under 5 minutes left from about 20 FEET out but can't beat Jones. The Sharks add two empty net goals in the last 54 seconds. Game 5 Notes - Both goalies were not very good. Bad...
...idn’t necessarily scare any of his opponents. However, his smooth, seamless skating style and strides allowed him to maneuver with speed across 200 FEET of ice, easily outskating most of his peers and setting up teammates for goals. His hockey sense combined with superior vision allowed him to mak...
...n high is 30 goals.— Аrpon Basu (@ArponBasu) May 23, 2016 Then there is the often overlooked aspect of Kucherov's game - he plays all 200 FEET of the rink with the same determination he shows in the offensive one with the puck on his stick. Kucherov currently leads all players in the...
... due to the Sharks play but part of it had nothing to do with the Sharks. The Blues passing was atrocious. There were passes that were less than 10 FEET with neither player covered that were being sent into players’ skates. Defensive assignments were being routinely missed and forecheckers were...
Follow me on Twitter @ToddCordell A couple weeks ago long-time Calgary Flames writer Darren Haynes floated out the idea of acquiring Marc-Andre Fleury to be the team's new starting goaltender. That idea seems to be picking up some steam as Fleury has been linked to the Flames again, this time...
...tt as he attempted to throw the puck through the middle from behind his own net. Lowry, who was cruising in front blocked the puck and it feel to his FEET with a wide open net. It was exactly what the Reign needed after a first period that saw just two scoring chances between the two teams. While...
...ed,” I said. Then Lucic scored. “Yeah, could have used that in Game 6,” I thought to myself. Then Bergeron scored. The floor beneath my FEET shook. The building, with thousands of fewer voices than it had just hours before, was the loudest it had been all night. No, strike that, all se...
...es and be able to judge infractions and goals. It is much easier to defend a close call when the referee is in the correct position rather than 15-30 FEET away from the play. One of my greatest ongoing frustrations with the NHL's current method of coaching officials is that we all know that plays...
...us. We weren’t laying it into the soft areas and hunting down their defensemen." Kevin Gravel later added in post game that he felt moving their FEET would have better dealt with the San Diego traps, " If we can get our FEET moving maybe it will open up a lane or something like that or we can g...
... even went through a slump mid-way through the season but aside from that he was also one of Buffalo's most consistent defensemen all season. At 6-FEET, 214 lbs. the stout McCabe was not only able to handle the physicality of oncoming NHL players, he regularly initiated contact, most notably in h...
Follow me on Twitter @ToddCordell Calgary Flames GM Brad Treliving has a lot of items on his off-season to-do list. At or near the top of said list is finding a starting goaltender and improving upon the team's 30th ranked goaltending. In theory the last part shouldn't be too difficult - al...
...t gives? That is the curious case of Paul Postma and one that is hard to understand. Grade C+ Melchiori is the twin tower to Myers. A tall, 6 FEET 5 inch, player who has a similar skill set to Myers but without the offensive bursts up the ice, at least not yet. He only has a career total of...
... just be overcoming some objections to the hiring that people are already having. Enjoy. Why not make him an assistant GM and let him “get his FEET wet” before taking such a big risk? The Coyotes didn’t take as big a risk as it seems. They are a team that doesn’t/can’t spend to th...
... won't be changing that approach anytime soon. From Bill West's Penguins Insider article “When our team is at its best, our defense starts 190 FEET from our net with our puck pursuit, hanging onto pucks down low in the offensive zone, controlling territory, and using our foot speed to our adv...
...of Holtby, who stopped 20 shots. Even Carl Hagelin's goal, which incidentally I think should have been a tripping penalty as he knocked Schmidt's FEET out from under him, had a bit of luck as the puck slipped passed Holtby to an over-covered Hagelin. “I thought we played well, obviously we...
...ve plenty of opportunity to excel in that role." What we wrote mid-season: "when he tries to step into one from the point oft-times it sails ten FEET wide and has players ducking for cover all over the zone. He's got the intensity of Thomas Vanek and can skate just about as fast, neither of whi...
Follow Paul on Twitter: @paulstewart22 Here's the thing about hockey scouts. I've sat three FEET away from them for years, and watched what they do. I've realized that there's a huge gap between the ones who excel and the significant population of so-so ones. There some truly great ones who a...
...he did quite a few things that helped the club in the neutral and defensive zones. Specifically, his ability to close on opponents with his fleet FEET, his skill at getting into the passing lanes and either trigger counterattacks or at least break up opposing plays was almost as valuable of an a...
.... He uses his 6'3" and 195 lbs. very aggressively in all three zones. Chychrun rarely loses back check battles because he is so fast and fluid on his FEET. His compete level is at "11". Chychrun is a man in hot demand by several NHL GMs. Tim Murray has solid relations with the player and his fami...
...e four Islander goals scored on Bishop came from between the circles in their own end, and the breakdowns didn’t just happen there, but started 200 FEET the other way, according to Cooper. And the Isles undoubtedly parked the bus once they grabbed that 4-1 lead, and that allowed the Bolts to cr...
