Thrash Talking

When the Atlanta Thrashers traded for Pavel Kubina in July, I was puzzled. Didn’t they already have three offensive-minded blueliners under contract in Tobias Enstrom, Ron Hainsey and highly regarded rookie Zach Bogosian?

 

Comrie to the Wild? August 20, 2009

By |2009-08-20T13:41:01-04:00August 20th, 2009|Hockey Rambling|

Fantasy Guide can be found here. I had a look at the two guides on newsstands that I contributed to (Hockey News and Forecaster) and looked at two players that predicted 40 or more points for - Shirokov on Vancouver and Stoa in Colorado. They didn't have them, that I could find. Just two examples [...]

Summer Sleeper Series – Jonathan Ericsson

Ericsson

 

Every Wednesday this summer, I will bring you a sleeper to watch for the 2009-10 season (and potentially beyond). Released in no particular order, I will refrain from picking sleepers that have already shown glimpses of breaking out in the past – the obvious candidates. Time to go beneath the surface for a couple of sleepers from the Detroit Red Wings…

 

Marleau is going nowhere – August 19, 2009

By |2009-08-19T13:06:32-04:00August 19th, 2009|Hockey Rambling|

Fantasy Guide can be found here.   The Hurricanes have signed Stephane Yelle to a one-year deal worth just over half a mill. This puts in doubt the chances of Boychuk cracking the roster.   The fact that Patrick Marleau has been stripped of his captaincy tells me that he will remain with San Jose. [...]

Not With a 10-Foot Pole!

Following my Eastern Conference counterpart, every year there are players who just don’t tickle my fancy. There are a variety of reasons ranging from changes to the team during the off-season, recovery from off-season surgery, and similar to Miller’s list, overvalued rookies/prospects.

Here is my list of players from the Western Conference that you won’t likely find on my fantasy rosters this campaign:

 

Big Bert to Detroit? August 18, 2009

By |2009-08-18T13:29:41-04:00August 18th, 2009|Hockey Rambling|

Fantasy Guide, updated through yesterday, can be found here.   Just (finally) received my copy of THN's Ultimate Pool Guide. I have a nice, big ad on page 5, a nice quote in Ken Campbell's feature article on the right side of page 8, as well as my article in its usual spot on the [...]

The Turco Turnaround

turco

 

Do you remember the kid in high school that was way too “book smart” for his own good, but because he was never really challenged in class, would just sit there and cause trouble in really ignorant ways? Well, despite being labeled by many as one of the smartest goalies in the world, I kind of see Marty Turco as the NHL’s troubled goalie genius.

Fantasy Guide can be found here.   Angus here - Shirokov's contract is two-way, so he is not a lock for the roster by any means. It is a standard ELC (entry level contract).   Thanks to a suggestion in the forum, I have added in the "other features" section a link to all of [...]
