The puck will be dropped on men’s hockey at the 2010 Olympics in a little over 24 hours from now. The city of Vancouver is abuzz with Team Canada talk. Who will be the starting goalie? Who will Sidney Crosby play with? Where is Mike Green? These questions, along with countless more, have been filling local radio shows, the local newspapers, and the mouths of hockey fans everywhere. These kinds of questions are not exclusively Canadian, as I am sure there are Swedish hockey fans wondering how Peter Forsberg will hold up, and Russian hockey fans wondering who will get to play with Alex Ovechkin. I have a few questions and thoughts of my own, so read on to find out my list of the top 10 things to watch for during the 2010 Olympics!

Angus popping in here. Some confirmed USA line combinations: Stastny centering Parise and Kane on the top line, Kesler centering Brown and Langenbrunner, and Pavelski centering Malone and Kessel.   The other line will feature Bobby Ryan and two others forwards, as a third offensive unit. The Kesler line is going to be the line [...]

Matt Halischuk

 

Hardcore hockey fans probably didn’t know who Matt Halischuk was in December of 2007. Halischuk was a 4th-round pick of the New Jersey Devils that summer after scoring 66 points in 67 games for the Kitchener Rangers the year before.

Olli Jokinen

 

Final Saturday of NHL hockey for a couple of weeks, but I’m sure watching the Olympics will be just as exciting. If anything it’ll be a little more relaxing for us poolies as there won’t be any fantasy hockey scoring to keep track of, except for the DobberHockey Olympic Pool. If you haven’t signed up yet, what are you waiting for?? It’s FREE!!! Let’s hope Thunder and I can head into the break on a winning note, as these may be our final picks of the year. I’m heading to Europe for a month so you guys will be able to win even more money by using Notch’s picks! Have a great weekend guys.

Toronto has claimed Jamie Lundmark off of waivers from Calgary. Fantastic move for the Leafs - Lundmark is a great offensive player, and the Leafs are pretty thin in that category up front. Look for him to play on one of the top two lines down the stretch. He is a great pick up for [...]

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.

 

Anthony Furino is an Isles fan who contacted for a little advice on his fantasy team. He’s built his team to win now and wanted a little nudge to put him over the top. He plays in a 20 team dynasty H2H where he’s solidly positioned for the playoffs and anxious to make a run. The stat categories are G, A, P, +/-, PPP, SHP, and GWG for skaters and W, GAA, SV, SV% and SHO for goalies. My advice in a league like this is to target goal scorers since that’ll count in several categories, and to target goalies who get lots of saves.

 

Well let’s take a look at the Manhattan Supermen.
