Unlike Wall Street, there are some fantastic value buys right now in the fantasy hockey world. Every year GM’s frantically look to sell off undervalued and under performing players much too early. There are also a number of players who have a current value much higher than where it should be. (Aaron Voros, anyone?) It is time for you to capitalize…
It was another week of torture for many fantasy owners, as starting goalies struggled to hit the .900 save percentage mark by allowing more goals than usual. This is like some kind of eerie twilight zone, because it seems that no matter how hard some of these goalies work, their stats aren’t improving at all. It’s like rolling a huge rock up a mountain only to watch it roll down the other side and crumble into a million pebbles. So what exactly is wrong with all of these so called sure-handed starters? Well, that’s the problem. Round these parts, there’s no such thing as a sure thing. Heck, there’s no more meaning to the phrase “comfortable lead” either. And so the beat goes on, at least for another week.
Ovechkin has gone back to Russia to tend to his ailing grandfather. He will miss tomorrow's game. The Caps play just twice this week so if you want to risk benching him for both games, that might be wise. Tom Poti is targetting a return to the lineup of this weekend. He has been out with [...]
Andrei Kostitsyn will reportedly return to the lineup on Tuesday from his concussion. Pascal Leclaire left last night's contest with an undisclosed injury. With two more points last night, Ryan Kesler now has nine points in eight games. This is his fifth NHL season, and it is looking like a breakout one for him. That being said, [...]
Brett Sterling finally got into the Atlanta lineup and wouldn't you know it - he scored a goal. Imagine that, an offensive player helping a team that needs offense by scoring a goal. Who would have thought it possible? Hopefully Anderson leaves him in the lineup and gives him opportunity. He played 11 minutes last [...]

Starting October 24 the Red Wings play five games in seven nights including two sets of back to back games. Four of those games are on the road but there are some vulnerable opponents in there. If your league has the week set up Friday to Thursday get all those Red Wing in there. Playing five games in a one week time doesn't happen very often - only twelve times during the regular season although it happens to Detroit twice.
I have THREE very exciting announcements, so rather than clog the ramblings, I stuck them all HERE in the forum . Dobber - Spoofed! You can read more in today's Daily Seagull . Jason Arnott was back in the Preds lineup last night and picked up two points. Nashville scratched Patric Hornqvist for the first time, but [...]
Angus here with some mid-afternoon updates. Pavol Demitra will be out for three to four weeks with torn rib cartilage. In that time he will be campaigning for VP of the Band-Aid Boy club. His absence opens up a spot on the second line for Kyle Wellwood. Pierre-Marc Bouchard and Marek Zidlicky are BOTH playing tonight for [...]
