Has Luongo suffered a setback? He wasn't in practice... Alex Tanguay has eight points in his last eight contests. Nigel Dawes has four points in his last two games and is a plus-4 in that span. That improves his dismal plus/minus to minus-4. Sutter stuck with him and he appears to have gotten [...]
Last week proved to be another terrific week. Thunder and I managed to call 10 out of 15 games each, including a BOS-OTT tie, and the Avalanche beating the Wings by two at home. Unfortunately the Sabres scored with 17 seconds left against the Lightning from the corner, and Vincent Lecavalier clanked a backhand off the crossbar to deny me over $300. Thunder, after getting her ID checked (she’s six, so 36 in dog years) at the convenience store, should have stayed away from the battle of Alberta, as the Oilers ruined her gambling debut. The season is roughly 15 games old so hopefully some teams are starting to settle into a groove. 13 games on tap for tonight, damn I love Saturday nights!
Sounds like Jhonas Enroth could make his NHL debut tonight for the Sabres. Finally some good news on the injury front. Daniel Sedin will fly in to Dallas and practice with his teammates tomorrow (Sunday). This is a surprise as the newspapers were speculating a November 20 return for him. Sounds like he had [...]
Having trouble setting your lineup for this coming week? Want to know what teams play the most games? Want to know what teams have the easiest schedules? Crazynuck delivers the goods once again!
Check what I said earlier - now sounds like Cory Schneider is getting the start against Dallas tonight. Jonas Gustvasson is getting the start tonight for the Leafs. James Neal is out tonight with a groin pull. I'd speculate one of Brunnstrom/Ott gets promoted to the second line with Richards and Eriksson. [...]
David Krejci has been diagnosed with H1N1, so expect him to miss a few games. Dobber's Puck Daddy article from today is awesome. Check it out here. Both Pavelski and Setoguchi are very close to returning - probably not tonight, but expect Pavelski back for the Sharks next contest. Puck Daddy has [...]
Some afternoon rambling... first off, here is my having fun with a comparison of the mafia and the monopolies (Rogers, Bell, etc.) who run TV/phone/net. Next, let's talk some Carey Price. I own him in two of my three keeper leagues, and zero of my two one-year leagues. I went after him hard because [...]
Notch is up this week - running down the Saturday NHL games and giving you his winners...
Back by popular demand, for the next four weeks we’ll run through a series of columns that will highlight players who are earmarked for success, based on a few selected criteria, along with those who should be on your list as a potential sell-high candidate. We’ll begin this series by examining the two top goalies from each of the 15 Western Conference teams.
Hockey News FPL - how the top-scoring d-men are suddenly getting younger... http://tiny.cc/gkYLN Phil Kessel will make his Leafs debut tonight. Matt Stajan and Jason Blake will be his linemates to start. His presence will likely see Tlusty sent back down. As for Stajan - it all depends on the chemistry. This is boom [...]
