Alex Goligoski has a lower body injury that will sideline him for 2-3 weeks. The team is already missing Letang, Orpik and Gonchar. Letang is still a week or two away. Look for the Pens to make a small deal - either a trade or waiver wire - to solve the problem. Because Nate Guenin [...]
The ranking reflects the statistics accrued through Nov 13th and does not compensate for games missed. So although somebody like Malkin is projected for large numbers, his injury affected his ranking.
I decided to change pace slightly this month because of the abundance of new names on this chart. I have taken the consensus pre-season projections I collected (6 fantasy sources) and offered a comparison to where their 2010 statistics have projected them forward. Will they be able to hold on? Or are they one-hit wonders?
Nik Kronwall has seven points in his last three games. After 12 points in 11 games, Matt Carle has zero in his last five. The stats are re-setting for a lot of players these days - falling back into line. Joni Pitkanen still hasn't recovered from what Angus termed "suckitis". He is pointless [...]
Notch's NHL picks for Saturday, November 14th.
Ovechkin playing today is a “possibility.” Maybe Phil Kessel doesn’t need Marc Savard? He now has four goals since returning to the Leafs lineup – Brian Burke’s mandate should be to go and get this guy a center, ASAP. Kessel fired seven shots on goal and can create a lot of offense with his [...]
Puck Daddy chats with one of my favourites - James Neal. Check it out here. Any gamblers out there? Was given a good tip from Ben Wright, who covers the Thrashers. In the last three ATL/LA games, the two teams have combined to score 35 goals. The lowest combined total in one game was [...]
Crazynuck steps up and delivers the goods once again for all you poolies. Having a tough time figuring out your lineup for this coming week? Your prayers have been answered.
Carolina is winless in their last 13 games (0-10-3) and have only seven points in 17 games (2-12-3) on the season, good for last place in the entire NHL. They look nothing like the team that eliminated the third seed New Jersey Devils and one seed Boston Bruins in last year’s playoffs.
Dobber's weekly Puck Daddy article is here. As always, it is a must-read. The Leafs have recalled Carl Gunnarsson (what an awesome hockey name). Komisarek may miss a few games with his lower body injury. Matthew Corrente will probably make his NHL debute with the Devils tonight. He is off to a great [...]
Welcome once again to “An Expert’s Audit”. This audit will be posted here as well as on my fantasy hockey blog at www.fantasyhockey.hockeyanalysis.com . I also do weekly reviews of teams for people who email in to me for a look-see. These audits will continue to appear here monthly and if you’re interested in having your keeper team “worked over” then you can begin by emailing Dobber (contact link at bottom of website) about it. But send it in by the 15th, as I will be starting on my next one at that point.
