I will never forget when Michael Leighton was pulled in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final. Watching him skate to the bench and walk down the runway was a moment of pure emotional openness. His demeanor and the agony in his eyes screamed helplessness. Even though his tense, hesitant play led to some weak goals, Leighton was yanked on a shot he had no chance of stopping. That single fleeting moment, well, it tells a very important story.
Darren Dreger reports that Daniel Carcillo will be in the lineup tonight and that it looks like James van Riemsdyk is out. The big news is that the Flyers will be going with Michael Leighton. I noticed some activity on Twitter yesterday wondering why the Flyers took so long to announce it. Frankly [...]
Wondering what your plan of attack should be this summer? Preparing for a draft? Upset about some trades you made in the past? I’ll weigh in with my thoughts on the interesting and important issues.
Today I’ll be taking a look at the team submitted to me by DobberHockey member Benoit, known on the message board as ‘LPPQWhalers.’
The more I research hockey this offseason, the more I like the Blues. Not because they’re a potential fantasy powerhouse, but because they are much better than they have shown. Translation: there are deals to be had.
Angus here - opening up my fantasy hockey mailbag today! Fire me a question here. These two finalists are so good for hockey. It's the copycat syndrome - when Anaheim won the Cup, many teams went out and got tougher. When New Jersey won the Cup it kicked off the dead puck era [...]
Ian Cole is on the cusp of becoming a good fantasy prospect. There’s no doubt that the first-round pick from 2007 is a good hockey prospect and will help the St. Louis Blues, but when combing through the prospect ranks for the upcoming Dobber Prospects Guide, I had the option of picking one of their players for the Prospect Guide. I considered Cole, but didn’t include him, because in the end, I don’t think he will be a good fantasy player.
Got my first sneak peak at the 2010 Prospect Report today... in a word - comprehensive. Lists for everything you can think of. Dobber, Bugg, Goldman, and Van Horne all share their thoughts on the best prospects in the hockey world. It appears Jacob Markstrom has signed with the Panthers. Some new [...]
Wondering what your plan of attack should be this summer? Preparing for a draft? Wondering about some trades you made in the past? I’ll weigh in on the interesting and important issues with my thoughts. I completed a few audits last week that generated a lot of positive feedback. Throughout the summer, expect one or two per week. Fire me an e-mail if you want to get in line!
Today, I took a look at the Vancouver Canucks, submitted to me by Mike Gillis...er.. I mean Ryan G.
Goldie again - Preds signed Atte Engren to a two-year entry-level deal today. This is big news, as he's a phenomenal Finnish goalie with great upside. Combined with recent signing of Anders Lindback, Preds continue to develop raw-skilled Euro prospects under Mitch Korn's watchful eye. Goldie here - the Ducks traded Mattias Modig to the Penguins [...]

This week I took a look at the Brunei Oil Barons, submitted to me by DobberHockey member (and Brunei resident) KingGoob.
