Looking ahead with Crazynuck – Week 5

The team I'm keeping a close eye on this week is Anaheim, in particular Ryan Getzlaf and Scott Niedermayer. Going into this season I expected them to start where they left off. The line of Getzlaf – Perry – Ryan has not established the chemistry to lead this team offensively. Getzlaf is still recovering from off-season surgery but is traditionally a slow starter and it was the end of October last season where he turned his year around. Niedermayer is the leader of this team and when he gets going the team will follow. The Ducks are not this bad and this may be the week they explode. Hiller has been the only positive and if he can earn a few more W's his fantasy stock will rise.
Four games this week: Montreal, Phoenix, Anaheim, Columbus, NYI, Boston, TB, SJ, Vancouver and Pittsburgh
One game this week: None
Lastly let's see how I did on my predictions from last week.
Penner: 4GP 2G 3A 5PTS
O'Sullivan: 4GP 0G 1A 1PT
The Oilers didn't fair aswell as I though as they were shutout in 2 of the games. However, the offense came to life against the Red Wings a Penner is once again playing well above his draft position. I'm starting to believe in Penner being a legit fantasy asset.
And now onto the goods…
