Ales Hemsky's nose injury could hold him out today, but will likely not keep him out beyond that. The Kings sent Trevor Lewis back to Manchester. TJ Oshie was back in the lineup for St. Louis. He played 16:28 and notched an assist. St. Louis line combos: Oshie with Tkachuk and Backes; Berglund with Perron and Boyes; McClement [...]

Marcus here, Sanford injured himself during practice and was replaced by Schneider after the first period. The Canucks have traded a 7th rounder for Jason Labarbera. Schneider will go back to Manitoba and Labarbera will be the starter until Luongo returns. Pick up Labarbera NOW!!! I should add that - until my newborn settles into a [...]
Change is always constant in our everyday world. We change the way we talk, we change the way we walk, and we change our daily rosters in our fantasy hockey squads. Some change is good, some is bad. Last week we took a look at the first five teams and their rosters as to what changes we could potentially expect from them, this week we’ll take a gander at the next five. Buckle up and get ready for the ride.
Erik Cole's three points last night were a good sign. He played with Sam Gagner and Robert Nilsson and he saw over 19 minutes of ice time. Still, even a turnaround to his season won't make him a 65-point player in Edmonton. Evgeny Artyukhin scored and had 20 PIMs on Friday and the coach rewarded him [...]
Every December, the best young hockey players in the world gather to take part in one of the most prestigious and exciting hockey tournaments in the world (and my personal favourite) – the World Junior Hockey Championships. Legends are born, just ask “Double Dion” Phaneuf. Unheralded players steal the spotlight, like Swiss goaltender Reto Berra. Looking back through the past years there are a lot big names, as well as big busts. This article covers some of the junior stars from the obscure hockey nations that have entered the tournament over the years.
Matt Stajan was hit in the eye yesterday by a soccer ball while warming up. His vision in that eye is blurry and he could miss as much as a week. Grabovski should fill this void and this could snap him out of his slump. Back from a little baby break - thank you to [...]
That’s back-to-back great Saturdays now. Let’s keep this rolling into the new year. I’m not sure we should even be considering wagering this Saturday but for those of you with some mad money left and no desire to hit the malls again, here we go...
Marcus here. It seems like the Holidays have finally brought out the fighting spirit of Artyukhin. He had 2 fights and 20 PIM's last night. Now is the time to pick up a cheap PIM/SOG guy. Angus here. Great win for Canada over the Czechs last night. The Sabres called up Tim Kennedy from the AHL to [...]
Once Team Canada's only match, Russia has underwhelmed in recent years. But can a younger, smarter, and more skilled entry than previous years bring Russia back to the recent glory days of Ovechkin/Malkin? How will the team respond to the unthinkable tragedy that left them without Alexei Cherepanov?
