Beast chart

 

It's a routine of mine to fall out of bed every morning, stumble into the kitchen like a drugged zombie and swipe an over-sized muffin from the kitchen cupboard. Sometimes I snag blueberry, sometimes banana nut and sometimes I forget to close the plastic lid correctly the day before and they all end up stale. That invokes a nasty rage that can only be suppressed with…well, more sleep...and lots of Cocoa Puffs cereal.

I had prime seats to see the London Knights host the Windsor Spitfires Friday – center ice, luxury box. Needless to say, it was a beauty – and afterwards, I had the pleasure of talking prospects with an NHL scout – he looked through the DobberHockey Fantasy Prospects List and with the understanding that the list measures a player’s potential in terms of points only, he was able to give me quite a bit of insight.

The opinions of a scout need to be taken with a grain of salt. While scouts are certainly more qualified to give the opinion, it also needs to be understood that if scouts were perfect then every player ever drafted would be in the NHL and the annual Draft would be reduced to three rounds.

 Pick up my Playoff Draft List, HERE . Matt Cullen did not participate in the morning skate, according to Canes Now .  I've heard Tortorella and Hitchcock each complain that the other team is cheating on faceoffs. Is this in style now? Quit whining - just cheat back. In Game 2, the Jackets employed that theory [...]

(Andover's Chris Kreider, a darkhorse top ten pick)

 

The 2009 NHL Entry Draft lottery took place on Tuesday night. While every team in the top five had a chance to win the rights to the first pick, the New York Islanders retained the right to draft John Tavares. However, the results are still causing a shake-up in the draft board as the season comes to a close.

 Pick up my Playoff Draft List, HERE . Just $8.95 - not only is cheaper than other playoff lists you'll find, but there is a possibility that I put together those other lists you have seen out there (I won't say which ones - confidentiality agreement). Hey - it's what I do!  Break time - [...]
