The long-term injury to Frans Nielsen could secure Bailey's spot in the lineup beyond the nine-game mark. Bailey has two points in six games and his 16:58 of ice time last night was the first time he topped 15 minutes. The Dobber Nation Radio Show with Andrew Walker will appear on the 25th of every month [...]
Get the jump on Curtis Sanford and Cory Schneider - if you can't get one, go for the other because you don't know how this will play out. my money is on Luongo missing 3-7 games and Schneider winning the job, but Sanford is also capable short-term. If you are in a roto league desperate [...]
After a great start two weeks ago everything came crashing back to reality last week. I ended up down 2 bananas for the week so my two-week total looks like this:
Week 1: +13 bananas
Week 2: -2 bananas
Total: +11 bananas
Angus here. BREAKING NEWS: Brenden Morrow is done for the season with a torn ACL. Dobber's analysis to come in tomorrow's ramblings. Not to belittle the seriousness of Todd White's concussion last night, but we all knew he was a Band-Aid Boy. He has 15 points in 18 games and you should have been cherishing every one [...]
Back-to-back games are a part of every NHL team's schedule. Back-to-back games can be an indication of when a back-up goalie is played which could help you grab valuable goalie points. Most teams have between 11 and 18 back to back games over the course of the whole season. Colorado gets away with only eight times back-to-back and the Blue Jackets have 20 such situations - that is almost half their games.
Nashville has sent Ryan Jones and Patric Hornqvist to Milwaukee for at least a week. This way, they can get a ton of ice time over three games. One or both will be recalled in the middle of next week. I predicted this a couple days ago in the ramblings and I hope some of [...]
The time may have come for the Ottawa Senators to start thinking about their future. Ottawa now has five straight losses and sit at the very bottom of the Eastern Conference standings. Their consecutive run of making the playoffs is in serious jeopardy at eleven years.
With Mike Fisher now on the shelf, this could be an opportunity for Ilya Zubov to land on a scoring line. Or perhaps Vermette will move back to center. I wouldn't bet on either player right now, but something sure needs to give in Ottawa. Fisher is out two weeks with a strained knee. I need [...]
When trading in fantasy sports you have decisions. Just like at the counter of your favorite fast food joint, one needs to be decisive and accurate with their choices. Do you go for the pricey combo meal players? Crosby, Malkin, AO, Vanek or even Semin? Sure, these guys have the whole package, immense talent and huge production, but are they worth the cost? Some are bonafide classics like the Big "Mac" Joe Thornton, but others may just be for a limited time only like the McRib or Ryane Clowe. Champions in fantasy sports look to the value menu for their trade steals.
Yes this is cheesy, but it wouldn't be fast food without plenty of it.
Last week, we covered how fantasy defensemen could potentially play a big role in fantasy leagues and how they are widely undervalued in many fantasy pools. This week we’ll take a gander at wingers to see who is primed for success and who’s due for a fall. Yes, I mentioned last week that defensemen could make or break a team, that doesn’t necessarily mean that you can completely ignore the wingers though. You just need to recognize that the disparity between quality defensemen and waiver wire defensemen is much more noticeable than the disparity between quality wingers and waiver wire wingers.
