Matt Moulson – The Real Deal?
So how does a 25-year-old fringe NHLer creep under everybody’s radar to thrive in a plum role on a line with an up-and-coming superstar? And will Matt Moulson continue to thrive or is he destined to fizzle?

The Habs have recalled Marc-Andre Bergeron, who had six points in three games in his AHL stint. I can see Bergeron flourishing until Markov returns - and he is a very big points producer if the coach can overlook his defensive liabilities.

Saturday’s NHL Picks – with Notch
My debut picks for the 2009/10 season went better than expected. It is always tough to gauge a team by their preseason results (see Vancouver). For my first week selections, I went with coaching matchups with a lot of my picks as well as goalies that seemed to be in midseason form (see Miller). My record for the first week was 7-4. Within those seven wins, I got two plus (+) predictions correct to hopefully increase your payouts if you wagered some of your hard earned cash.

Being number one in goal scoring is the same as being number one in penalty minutes.

Surviving the Annual Early Season Panic
As reported in the Toronto Star recently, Ken Holland circles the American Thanksgiving on his calendar every year in red ink. By then, he says, a team has established its true winning percentage.
Not everyone takes so long a view of things as the Red Wings GM, but even on teams where an October overhaul is needed, many NHL GMs and coaches still often say they like to wait ten or twelve games to get a feel for their players.
