Fantasy Hockey Ramble – April 25

Dobber Sports

2009-04-25

 

Niklas Backstrom's hip surgery went better than expected and he will only be shelved for three months instead of the 4-6 talk.

 

Henrik Lundqvist got the hook after just 14 shots on goal. Four of them got by him. Simeon Varlamov picked up his second shutout – what a great pick for next campaign.

 

The Wild signed their seventh rounder from 2007, Carson McMillan to an entry level deal. As an overager in the WHL, McMillan was over a point per game and a plus-41. He'll need to translate that into the AHL if he is going to gain any fantasy interest.

 

On the latest Dobber Nation Podcast, Guy Flaming of Edmonton's "Pipeline Show" and Hockey's Future will be on to discuss the Oilers and some prospects; Paul McCann hosts Preds weekly show on AM560 sports radio in Nashville; DobberHockey's Jeff Angus will be on to give his take on some of the playoff action. That's tomorrow. As always, if you want to a) have a banner on the Dobber Nation page for over 10,000 sets of eyes to see, AND b ) Have a 30-second ad for 10,000 sets of ears to hear – all for $50-$80, \n email Rob here This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Finally, the pair touch on Voronkov and PLD’s hot streaks, and discuss John Carlson’s rollercoaster in light of Chychrun’s production.

Keeping Karlsson: Tuch Hunch

On this edition of the Keeping Karlsson Fantasy Hockey Podcast mega-show, Elan and Brian tour every team, ranking a slate of the least bad goalies, noticing the wind in some Red Wings’ and Stars’ sails, dangling snoozer status above a pair of commonly rostered power-play quarterbacks, and rushing or strolling, accordingly, to some skaters on the up and up.
