In defense of Adam Foote

Print"Foote has lost a step"
"Foote is slowing down"
"Foote is great as a leader but hurting us on the ice"
OK, I get it. My favorite Avalanche player is a seasoned veteran on the youngest team in the NHL. But I'm here to tell you, Foote is still the best defenseman on this team.
Let's talk about this whole mantra in the media and continued in the blog world, "Foote is slow". In a sprint from goal line to goal line I will grant you, Foote probably doesn't beat out many on his own team. But let me ask you something, when was the last time Foote got beat on the edge? When was the last time Foote got blown by on the rush for a scoring chance? Now, in contrast apply those same questions to Liles and Quincey. Two defensemen who are "faster" than Foote.
Guess who else is "slow"? Chris Pronger, Ken Daneyko, Al MacInnis, Nicklas Lidstrom, and younger examples like Books Orpik or Jeff Schultz. Look, I'm not saying that Foote is comparable in all skill sets to these guys. What I am saying is that none of those good defensemen I mentioned have great straight-away speed.
Contrary to popular opinion, Adam Foote is a brilliant skater. His skating has been his biggest asset in the NHL, not his ability to throw a forearm shiver along the boards. His transition skating, edge work and posture are really amazing. If you have the inclination just watch Foote on the point of the offensive zone. Like Hejduk (another amazing skater) rarely do his feet ever stop moving. He glides and effortlessly transitions to break out of his zone before the rush starts, not after. He always, always, always takes away the middle of the ice and you will even see him skating past the mid-line of the ice to support his D partner when a single forward to trying to rush the zone during a line change. He's got zero head-bob (compare and contrast his transitions to Wilson for example) and fantastic balance as he doesn't over-lean or do many of the cheats skaters can take.
Another thing to watch with Foote is his blind-side awareness. If he has duty on the weak side he knows where that backdoor player is....always. He checks his "six" constantly and rarely gets caught staring at the puck. Some fans will complain that when a play happens on the strong side and the puck releases for a scoring chance, that Foote isn't fast enough to attack the puck and make a play. That's not his job. There's glory in throwing your body in to a blocked shot here. Some have even gained high praise for leaving their assignment and making this play. I can only imagine Patrick Roy turning in to The Predator and ripping out Clark's spine for that move. As Iceman and many goaltenders would tell you, you never leave your wingman Maverick. Watch Foote in front of the net and contrast that with some of this fellow defensemen.
In the end, Foote may not be rushing up the ice to carry the puck out of his own zone. Foote also isn't going to jump up in the play between the circles for scoring chances. Foote has "lost a step" when it comes to pure foot speed when it comes to shadowing a player with a lot of side stepping on the boards and he has limitations on things he can do when the puck is on his stick. However, when the puck is on the opposing man's stick in the Avs zone he's still the best we have.

I agree. And he’s been very effective thus far. He’s still slow as balls though, and I think Hannan is a better defender overall at this point.
and I think Hannan is a better defender overall at this point.
I’d sure fucking hope so, given their relative ages and contracts. And yet there’s Footer playing 2-and-a-half minutes more per game than Hannan, despite being 8 years older*. Jesus…what an achievement from our $4.5 million/year man.
The only things Hannan’s got going for him are his Skrastins-like ability to not get hurt (which isn’t at all surprising considering his lack of physicality), and his awesome agent, whose name is The Best Fucking Agent of All Time Because I Got Scott Hannan an $18 Million Dollar Deal When He’s Really Just a Very Average NHL Defenseman.

OK, at 31 I was in the best shape of my life, playing hockey almost every day and lifting 4-5 days a week. By 32 I blew out my knee playing hockey, lost about 40lbs of muscle, added 10lbs of fat, and was a total couch potato by the time I was 39. 40th birthdays are traumatic in this situation. I’m back where I want to be, but it was a lot more work after 40 than it was at 30. I have a lot of respect for guys like Foote and Chelios (yes, blasphemy) who can play at that level for that long.

I walked the stairs in my building twice today and was winded both times. Midsummer I was riding my bike 25 miles three times a week. What the hell happened between then and now??
I’m on the 11th floor, so its not like its toooo bad. Only mostly bad.
Thanks Joe...
I’m training to run up the CN tower stairs. I’m uncertain that it won’t kill me.

There’s a guy at work who gets winded when he walks from the elevator to his office every morning (which is just past my office). IT’s kind of frightening, I think I’m going to witness him keel over some mornings.

Recent studies have shown that hands only CPR can be more effective that Mouth to Mouth CPR.
So, good news, you don’t even need to make sure you remember to grab a pocket mask when he keels over!

They’re already dead.
Anything you are doing can only make the situation better.

Now we have nothing to bitch about!

We actually were taught and certified every year through the school if we wanted to. So from grade seven until grade 12 it was provided through the school.
Then every couple of years I’ve gone and redone the course as a refresher, and re-certification. I need to book it to do it again soon.

24 and then 30 were my best years. I did the LA marathon at 29 and then kept up with half marathons for 2 years. Moved to CO and I wimped out cuz of the weather. Hey, I’m a Cali girl. Shut up.
The marathon was crazy because my roommate made a bet with his friend about it and asked if I would train with him. This was in late October. The marathon was in March. I’d never run more than a mile in my life. Talk about accelerated training. lol.

On the front range maybe;)
Here, winter can put a serious cramp on any outdoor training unless you can do it on skis/snowboard.
I don’t mind the cold too much, but we can have long stretches of 10-20 below and it doesn’t get above freezing after Christmas until sometime near Spring Break here usually.
"That F******* sandwich had it coming!" -Mike@MHH
Sunshine that many days of the year doesn’t mean it’s warm. And few cold spells doesn’t mean the temp is high enough to make running easy. I get cold induced asthma. When it’s too cold, I start wheezing. If the temp drops below 60, it physically hurts to run. 6 months out of the year, it’s not likely to be 60 or above. Thus, running outside is difficult. I absolutely HATE running in the gym. So it’s not sunshine and it’s not cold spells, it’s average daily temps dear.

I can’t handle runing indoors, (i’m fine in the cold though). I run through about a mile of nice suburban streets before hitting the C-470 trail. Can run by either Chatfield reservoir, up C-470 or down the Chatfield/Platte Canyon trail.
But even with average temps below 60 for 1/4th of the year, the weather here is far better than 95% of the country. (Even in No. Cal the temp falls below an average of 60 for a decent part of the year).

I’m 36, so not 39 yet…but I trained/competed professionally until 30. Now I just keep in shape and compete at the Masters Level a couple times a year.
For me personally the difference between 28 and 30 was the training level/intensity. At 30 I still had good speed, but it got very hard to train at a high level/intensity. I also had to spend considerably more time in the training room getting taped, iced, ice baths, etc. I was spending an hour before practices and one to two hours after practice. Injuries came more often and were much more difficult to recover from. I also had to start limiting the frequency in which I competed as recovery between competitions took longer.
Now that I am not able to train at the same intensity, I have lost a step or two speed wise. Now I run more distance and fewer sprints when I work out. I can still sprint at a decent speed, but I can’t do it in volume: for example in college we would run 10 X 200 meters and run each one in 24-25 seconds with 1:30 rest between. I can still run 25-26 second 200 meters, but 4 or 5 is my limit even at 2:00 rest.

Hate it. At 29, I was being paid to perform trapeze and was at the point that I could stay in the air suspended from my arms pretty much indefinitely. One back injury later (swing dance lift), and now I’m just pathetic, 12 years later. Just a few months ago I managed to get a back pop that took care of the lower back pain (and I mean completely, I’m so psyched), so I’m just starting to try to dig myself out.
Agreed and rec’d. I love Footer and this team’s defense would be a joke without him. I will shed some tears when he retires.
Foote also isn’t going to jump up in the play between the circles for scoring chances.
Have to say you’re wrong on this one though, Bizarro Dario. He’s been jumping into the play a lot this year…and doing so effectively and at the perfect time. He even gets back into position fast enough that I don’t recall ever wanting to throw my remote at the TV. =)

I was going to say something similar, he seems more “offense oriented” this year (In Adam Foote terms anyway) but maybe that’s because of the style of team he’s playing for.
Foote has lost a step, he has taken some dumb penalties, but I love how he is playing this year.
I thought it was pretty Osgood to take a Bertuzzi behind the Draper, but it ended up blowing the Abdelkader of my Kronwall.
he has taken some dumb penalties
This is my biggest complaint with Foote, from what I have watched not much sadly he is doing better than last year.
by Freakoffaleash on Oct 14, 2010 1:10 PM MDT up reply actions
So far this year he’s taken one penalty and drawn one penalty according to Behindthenet. From what I remember his penalty was of the BS variety. He hit the forward at the blue line on a clearing attempt. They called it interference because the forward apparently didn’t touch the puck. It wasn’t because the puck wasn’t there, before he made the hit but the puck bounced over the guys stick. I hate that call. I mean, the guy is making every effort to play the puck so it’s not icing at the other end and the D takes the body. What else can they do but assume the puck is going to get played?
I’m pretty sure I remember that hit/penalty. It was pretty close, and I recall the announcers saying he got there/made the hit a step early. Still pretty ticky-tack call and I agree, what do else do you expect the defender to do?

This is wonderful work and reminds me of why I come here. I never would have noticed that Foote doesn’t get beat on the edges or down the ise on the rush. I would have just assumed that it was happening. But now that you mention it, you are of course right.

Foote has def looked like he has more jump this season. Maybe it’s just because it’s the beginning of the season, but I really like the energy/urgency he’s playing with right now. That smack down on Hossa in game 1 (when Hossa tried to bring the puck out in front of the net from behind) was vintage Footer and just plain beautiful.
Keep it up old timer!
Love the impassioned defense of one of my all time favorite players. Still think his footspeed is an issue. If he weren’t so damn smart about all the things you mention, positioning, timing, staying with his assignment, he would be flat out horrible.
I also think that he hurts us offensively sometimes. When we are in the zone and the puck might come out, I often see him turn and head down the ice to get the head start he needs these days. I’m glad he does, because he doesn’t get beat on those plays, but a faster Foote could try to maintain possession and still be defensively responsible.
I do agree that his presence is pivotal this season and I’m still glad he’s on the ice to show the young’ns/young guns the ropes.
However, I sincerely hope this is his last year as I don’t want to see him fade further.
"I just had a chicken finger and it was terrific." Gary Bettman
I don’t really get that. It’s like saying Sandis Ozolinsh hurt us defensively. Defense wasn’t his job. Offense isn’t Footer’s job.
Foote is a smart, crafty old player that this team would be missing if he wasn’t here this year. So I agree with you there. If this D was minus Foote and plus one of our new young guys it would be a messy out there. (Presuming he retired and Sherman signed no one else.)
by From the Point on Oct 14, 2010 8:14 PM MDT up reply actions
I agree that our D would be worse without him, but saying his impact as on the offense is irrelevant doesn’t make any more sense than saying forwards have no defensive responsibility.
Oh, and Sandis Ozilinsh hurt us defensively. Doesn’t mean I wasn’t glad he was here.
"I just had a chicken finger and it was terrific." Gary Bettman
They paired him with Alexi Gusarov usually. Goose was a strong defensive defenseman, and he cleaned up Ozo’s messes. It was a good arrangement.

Didn’t say “irrelevant.” Of course he has offensive responsibility, it’s pretty much to keep the puck in the zone on the attack. He does that quite well.
Does he add a lot to the team offensively? No. But hurt? Nope, not going there.
by From the Point on Oct 14, 2010 8:58 PM MDT up reply actions
I don’t think he’s hurting us. I see him slamming plenty of guys. I’m happy to have him this one last year.
And by slamming plenty of guys, I mean getting physical.
On the boards…and around the net. You know. Checking them, and hitting them. To the ice. In a game of hockey.

Super Joe was a hard act to follow, but Captain Slow’s been doing a great job of it so far. I’m not sure how many players meetings he held last year, think it was around 3, but I do remember that the Avs won the following game with a strong effort after every one.

Just listened to a podcast on NHL Live with Andy and he said he leaves it to Foote to clear out all the trash from his crease. One more reason Footer rocks.

So how does Andy expect to lead the league in goalie penalty minutes again if he lets Foote have all the fun?
