Saturday’s Picks – November 13th

Giroux

Last week was a much better week than the opening week, as I was able to pick 7 out of 12 winners, and would have had 8 if I didn’t get so greedy with those damned Sabres. Poor Thunder only managed 4 last week, although I’ll give her mad props for calling the Sabres over the Leafs and in the shootout! Of course as luck would have it each of my proline tickets had a single game wrong as it doesn’t seem to matter which ones you get right, but then you have to get them all on the same ticket! Anyways, only 11 games on the schedule for this Saturday, as the forecast is calling for snow up here in the Great White North. Let’s get right to business:

Its's official - 11 years and $58 (sorry for the typo earlier) million for Jeff Carter. Not sure what to think of this contract... Goldie: If you didn't think Hiller was elite before today, he's proved it in the last week. Bryzgalov continued to show signs of energy drain vs CGY last night. Fleury FINALLY heeded my advice and displayed an intense/desperate [...]

The Swedish Sabbatical

Mikko Lehtonen

It’s tough to figure out where Mikko Lehtonen is best suited to play. In two-plus years in the SM-Liiga, the Boston Bruins prospect scored just 18 goals and 21 assists in 106 games. Despite being a teenager in the top pro league in his native Finland, his numbers were a little weak for someone with his offensive talents.

Looking Ahead – Week 6

By Dave Poleck|2015-07-24T10:30:22-04:00November 12th, 2010|Looking Ahead|

Staal

A tough decision can be made easier with these charts showing you the best five and worst five schedules for upcoming seven-day periods. Some of you used them last year but for the benefit of new readers here is a refresher. The number next to the team indicates the 'multiplier' to use on a player's point-per-game pace to give you an idea how many points to expect for that week.

If you own any Rangers and are in a Sunday to Saturday league, then you are in luck.

Goldie says: Pavelec wasn't overly tested vs MIN last night, but it was a huge win and I feel good about his value springing forward. Massive win for Rinne in a SO, so IMO he's back on track. Quick is blowing me away and watch for Ward falling back from energy drain. Once again, Dwayne Roloson [...]

Fantasy Indicators of Success: Defensemen

Byfuglien

I admit I may overvalue defensemen in my fantasy leagues. In nearly every league I've ever been in, my defence is always at or near the top. I've been called a "defence whore" for my penchant for drafting quality offensive defensemen, even if I may need other positions more.

It looks like Keith Ballard will be a healthy scratch again tonight. I am not really concerned, just a string of bad luck. He had serious hip surgery in the summer and was unable to skate and train until late into August. He was obviously a bit rusty and his minutes were limited. [...]

Hockey Stock: Inside Trading on the DSE

In the real world, the stock market is one of the most important ways a company has to raise money in order to grow it's business. Similarly, fantasy hockey is equally liquid and a successful owner demonstrates the ability to be parts active and patient in order to develop a team (or portfolio of players if you will) that is championship calibre.

Why Predicting Hockey Outcomes is Not for the Faint of Heart

By Dobber Sports|2010-11-10T16:04:03-05:00November 10th, 2010|z-Archives (other articles)|

I don't know

If you’ve ever felt maybe, just maybe, that when it comes to picking a winner on any given night, hockey represents a tougher challenge than other pro sports, then you’re not alone. Whether you’re trying to beat the odds on a game, or simply trying to figure out which goalie to start, choosing correctly isn’t easy, and it turns out there’s evidence suggesting that hockey fans have it harder than most.
