2008 Year in Review

Kane Toews Versteeg

Now that we’re in the holiday season, I now have some precious free time to do what I enjoy the most: talk some fantasy hockey. The 2008 year was full of newsworthy events in the hockey world. Evgeni Malkin staked his claim as the best hockey player in the world with a tremendous 2008, ascending to the top of Dobber’s Keeper-League Player Rankings. Simon Gagne returned from a severe concussion to spark a potent Flyers attack. Sensational sophomore Pat Kane is leading the rebuild in the Windy City, and the Hawks are currently a playoff club in the always-tough Western Conference. Here are my 10 biggest surprises (good and bad), my Unleashed Players of the Year, and of course some Mats Sundin talk!

According to Aaron Portzline of the Columbus Dispatch, Brassard is done for the season with shoulder surgery. Justin Pogge has been recalled by the Maple Leafs and he will likely get the start Monday against Atlanta. He sports an .890 SP in the AHL and a 10-9-3 record, but last season he had a strong second [...]

It's that time of year again, and Bugg Bytes kicks off its World Juniors coverage with six days of roster reports. That's right- half the time of that annoying song, quadtriple the amount of useful information! First up: the peksy Finns, who are woefully underrated entering the tournament.

Santa in a Flames Jersey

For the record it appears that Santa Clause is a Calgary Flames fan this year. Christmas finds them in the middle of a 5 games home stand stretches out over more than two week. If they didn't play the Ducks on December 23 they would have 7 full days off right over Christmas. So Flames fans have no excuses not to spend lots of times with the in-laws. Sorry.

Jussi Jokinen has been placed on waivers by the Lightning. A team would be crazy not to pick him up - he's young, is strong at both ends, and has 65-70 point upside. Not confirmed, but strongly hinted: Derick Brassard suffered a shoulder injury and will be on the shelf for 3-4 weeks. I traded [...]

Dustin Brown has seven points in his last four games - each of which he has played at least 20 minutes. Upon further study, I (it's Dobber again) discovered that he has 17 points in 18 games that he played at least 20 minutes, but just seven points in 13 games where he did not [...]
