...often overlooked—ability to establish and maintain lengthy offensive zone pressure. The Blackhawks come at you in waves and contest the ice 200 FEET up and back. At their best, which we saw in games 6 and 7 of the Anaheim series, they maintain really strong gaps, and backcheck relentlessly. An...
... a group of people wearing Flyers attire sitting at the adjacent table watching an Eagles game. Not one of them realized there was a guy sitting four FEET away who played 514 regular season games for the Flyers: 30th in franchise history, and more games than the like of Paul Holmgren,Ron Hextall, Be...
...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. When he adds mass to his 6'2 190 frame he will be a weapon of mass destruction in the near future. Couple Eichel...
...e when defending in the neutral zone, a small but important tactic. “It’s a good system and you can win with it,” he said. “But it adds 10-15 FEET of skating every time. Their guys got tired.” The determining factor probably is re-signing Jeff Petry or the development of the youth to ease...
... the Spectrum on Sunday, May 5, 1974. Clarke and Parent skate the Cup around the Spectrum ice "The Spectrum ice is two hundred by eighty-five FEET," said Ranger GM/Coach Emil Francis. "It has boards and glass. There's no reason why we can't win there." But some of Francis' troops were not ...
...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 ...
...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...
... seven games for Norway in the IIHF World Championships. Norway lost five of its seven games in the tournament. A physical forward, Martinsen is 6-FEET-3 and 220 pounds. He had 18 goals, 23 assists and 99 penalty minutes in 50 regular-season games this season for Dusseldorfer in Deutsche Eishocke...
...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...
...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...
.... 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...
... Stephanie Vail (@myregularface) May 2, 2015 Ovechkin - world-class player. maybe the best in the game. A threat every time on the ice even 100+ FEET away. A goal that maybe on he could score; the scariest part of which was the power on the shot. Ovi goal: GIF: holy Ovi pic.twitter.com/B...
...mes on the road. "We're not worried about the stats," Ferland said. "We just want to go there and be the harder-working team for sure and let our FEET and bodies do the talking." "Everyone has written us off. From the start of the year, no one gave us a chance," Stajan said. "We have our con...
...defenseman, Dan Girardi on the first unit and Kevin Klein on the second unit, had their head on a swivel the entire time and didn't move more than 10 FEET away from Boyle. They appeared to be covering a 10-foot radius from the hash mark when the puck was low and on the opposite side to the circle wh...
...ight wingers available at a cheaper price. Loui Eriksson could be a trade option, while Michael Frolik may make sense if the Devils wish to dip their FEET into the free agent market. One way or another, Lamoriello has to address the team's top-6 forward crop this summer -- particularly on the rig...
