Well, today is official Happy Hockey Talk Day. And if you’ve read School of Block or The Cat Eye at all over the past 12 months, you know I’m a huge advocate of the mental and emotional, the motivational and inspirational aspects of goaltending. All too often these themes are buried and lost in the daily grind of fantasy notes, injury updates and trade offers.
Avoid these seven deadly sins at all costs in order to greatly improve the probability of success in your fantasy pool.

It's one of the tightest divsions in hockey year in and year out. Not only is this true on the ice, but the same can be said for the pipelines that fuel the Vancouver Canucks, Calgary Flames, Edmonton Oilers and Colorado Avalanche. Who is the division champ when it comes to prospects?
Petri Kontiola is reportedly unhappy with his lack of NHL opportunity and would like the Blackhawks to do something about it. If nothing happens, I am afraid he will be off to the SEL, where several teams are rumored to be interested. Kontiola has over a point per game in the AHL and has little [...]
Week 3 saw a nice recovery from the disastrous second week. I'm changing the format a little this week. Due to the NHL's laughable injury disclosure policy, identifying who will be out due to an injury has become a crapshoot.
