...had his strongest game of the preseason. His deflection on Beaulieu’s shot was perfectly timed and he was where he needs to be, within a couple of FEET of the goal crease. There is no doubt that he will be in full form come Wednesday in Toronto. Beaulieu led all defencemen in playing time, not ...
...ints all along that the team wants to see a little more from his overall game -- play without the puck, being hard to check off the puck, keeping his FEET moving and avoiding "glide mode", etc. Gagner played all three forward positions at different junctures of camp and played with arguably the wide...
...tt, another young defenseman who hasn't progressed as hoped. Gormley, 23, was the Coyotes' first-round pick (No. 13) in the 2010 NHL draft. He's 6-FEET-2 and 190 pounds.

...hle is. If you don't believe me, watch him tonight. It's remarkable how fast and furious this kid is. He covers a lot of ice with his lightning fast FEET and his long stick reach. I've noticed in drills and exbition games that Guhle skates faster backwards than some Buffalo D skate forwards. Think ...
...ou’re down to five D’s, and the amount of ice time those guys had to get tonight. That includes a young guy in [Brandon] Carlo, trying to get his FEET wet in the league, and right from the get-go, you’re down to five.

...make decisive black-and-white rulings even when there is a lot of gray area in a tough situation. I want tough-minded arbiters who are quick on their FEET and quick with their minds while showing calm under pressure. The game also needs officials who can keep up with the physical rigors of the s...
...I said. When his team scored its first goal of the game, I told the official scorer the goal belonged to number 36 (Ewen). The crowd jumped to its FEET and applauded the rare goal by the proud owner of 36 tallies in his 516 NHL games. Then I looked over at the bench and winked. He smiled back...

He spent much of the summer continuing to work on his skating, although he made significant progress last year in keeping his FEET moving and also in bettering his two-way game. Cousins said that his first pro year (2013-14) was an eye-opening experience of how much tougher t...
...e tough decisions than know who I'm going to keep." Skille (pronounced Skilly) played on a line with center Nathan MacKinnon and Alex Tanguay.
