...us Girgensons, Mikhail Grigorenko, Marcus Foligno, Rasmus Ristolainen, and other top Sabres prospects. Eichel has the lightning fast eyes, hands, and FEET to play the NHL game well today.

...sive emphasis on skating and conditioning. Ron Hextall is a stickler for these things. Actually, so was Craig Berube. When Berube's Flyers kept their FEET moving, they could compete just fine -- defensively as well as offensively -- with any team in the NHL. The problem came too frequently when the ...

May 17, 2015 - 9:16 AM ET

...quality time with the Pegulas and Tim Murray on Mother's Day. The only thing that awaits us now is whether or not Babcock will develop a case of cold FEET and stay in Detroit, or, if he will go all-in on a new opportunity in Buffalo. The Pegulas can be very persuasive people. They look people in the...

...e a top 6 forward and contribute at least 15-20 goals (probably closer to the 20) while the younger players who will eventually succeed him got their FEET wet in the league. WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED It was an up and down season for Michalek, one that almost echoed the fate of the club. Like...

...- and fined -- but the goal counts. Also, teams cannot challenge a stick after an overtime goal is scored. What about centers who "cheat with the FEET" on faceoffs? People get upset if linesmen spend too much time telling both players to keep their FEET north and sticks in the proper position, t...

...agh. The Captain blasted it home with Kreider setting the screen. As Dave Farrish wrote on NHL.com, the Rangers adjusted in Game 5 by moving their FEET to get the defense moving before shooting. The players they had in front of the net also moved laterally to create moving screens in front of Hol...

Colin Dambrauskas: Farewell, Hockeybuzz; Flames vs Ducks, Game 4!

May 8, 2015 - 1:10 PM ET

...iddle, the Flames typically avoid coughing up the puck in a dangerous transition play where they may end up with an odd man rush. By moving their FEET in their own end and forcing the Ducks to chase the puck rather than give them the option to play the body, the Flames should be able to force er...

Paul Stewart: The Best Ref is One You Never Notice? Baloney!

May 8, 2015 - 10:44 AM ET

.... I'll be blunt about it, because I'm a straightforward guy: I didn't care. I went to Groton and graduated Penn. I was trained to think and act on my FEET, and to speak intelligently. I could handle media questioning better than any of the dunces I worked for after John McCauley died. One other p...

...different outcome. Perhaps Plekanec will dump it deep this time. Or maybe Pacioretty will poke the puck off Hedman's stick. Maybe Markov stays on his FEET and blocks the pass or Subban is able to lift Johnson's stick at the last second. This time, perhaps Price squeezes his pads. But each time you w...

...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...

...ed, went backhand, but didn't get it high enough off the ice and Holtby's glove, where so many shots have gone to die, snatched it out of the air two FEET off the ice. You basically could have turned your sets off there, as the Rangers didn't must a lot, especially the last 3-4 minutes when they had...
