I expect that Mats Zuccarello Aasen (Norway) will get a shot with an NHL team every soon. He is small (very small), and was overlooked during his draft eligibile years because of this. The fact that he played hockey in Norway obviously didn't help either. However, he is fast and incredibly skilled, and plays an [...]
Oh boy are we ever in for a treat, best on best hockey is, well, the best, and doesn’t happen as often as we all would like. The downside to all the great hockey we are seeing is no NHL hockey. And while NHL teams have to abide by a trade freeze during the Olympic Games, you certainly don’t have to.
All NHL teams have between 19 and 22 games remaining in the regular season. But not all games are created equal. For the shrewd fantasy owner, there is opportunity here.

Whew. With the NHL now on its Olympic break, you can afford to take a fantasy hockey breather over the next couple of weeks. No one should be denied the Olympic opportunity of sitting on the couch getting fat while watching athletic perfection play out on your big-screen, but don't forget about your fantasy squad altogether.
Andrei Markov was in the lineup for Russia. Andrei Kostitsyn will not play for Belarus today, as expected. I picked up both Hnat Dominechelli (for old time's sake) and Mark Streit in the Olympics pool and they each drew an assist on the lone Swiss goal last night. Just found that cool The [...]
Still mostly quiet on the trade front, as we enter into the final quarter of the fantasy season. Following along the same lines as the last three weeks, we’ll conclude the series this week by analyzing the potential trade candidates of the Sharks, Blues and Canucks.
On the flip side of great hockey that is to come starting this week is the fact that our fantasy leagues are frozen. Go ahead - check your standings. Same as yesterday. And they'll be the same tomorrow. Sigh. Roberto Luongo will start for Team Canada against Norway, Brodeur will handle the Swiss. Whoever [...]
As of today, it’s no longer about the goalie with the most wins, saves or shutouts. It’s not even about the goalie with the most experience or the fastest reflexes. As of today, it is only about the goalie with the most focus, confidence and situational awareness. Finally, the long-awaited 2010 Winter Olympics and ice hockey tournament is here and I’m excited to be tracking the men’s goaltending every single step of the way.
The FREE DobberHockey Olympics Pool deadline is today. By midnight you must change your team (if you want to change it) and/or your entry must be in by 12 (ET) tonight. Join here. According to Rob Rossi, the Pens will probably not be making a deadline deal due to cap restraints. According to Cap [...]
