Fantasy Prospects Report is only 23 days from release – I feel like I’m so far ahead in writing/editing this, but that date is fast approaching…and this is the best one yet – lots of positive feedback on my new 3YP statistic so I added it to the player analysis in this document. There [...]
The Prospects Report is a little over three weeks away. Pick it up today in advance... I've been following the AHL playoffs closely - some tidbits: Carolina's farm team was shutout by the Baby Pens last night. The Charlotte Checkers feature about six or seven future Carolina regulars - Justin Faulk, Zac [...]
Mike Murphy had a 44-save shutout for Carolina's farm team the other night in the AHL playoffs. He'll battle Justin Peters for the backup spot behind Ward. I think the Hurricanes realize that they overplayed Ward this season, so expect the backup (whichever goalie wins the battle) to see at least 15 starts in [...]
A sleeper for 2010-11, fixing a mistake, the future of Cory Schneider, and more…
Steve Sullivan is out for the remainder of the second round with a knee injury. Sounds like Colin Wilson will draw in. Nashville could use an offensive spark - their top line has combined for zero points through three games against the Canucks (Fisher, Hornqvist, and Kostitsyn). I figured Hornqvist would be more [...]
After doing some reading in the forums about “magical” fourth year breakouts and potential breakout candidates for next season, I felt inspired to write this week’s Cage Match article on that subject. This week we will take a look at two potential breakout stars that are just destined to battle one another. We’re taking two Atlantic Division rivals, LW vs. LW, Power Forward vs. Power Forward, James vs. James, winner take all. I am excited, are you excited?
Let’s get ready to rumble!
Angus here - my May edition of the 15 Points to Consider will be out on Friday. As usual, jam-packed with information. My THN column from yesterday on Claude Giroux. I’ve been a little late with these lately, but it’s that time of year again – May through September most of the [...]
Continuing with the next set of recap columns from the pre-season, this week I’ll carry my 15-3-2 record from the last couple of weeks and review my Not With a 10-Foot Pole column from back in August.
JVR is really having a coming out party, eh? If last year’s Claude Giroux show is any indication, van Riemsdyk should have a big year next campaign. He has a five-game points streak now. Make that a five-game GOAL streak. Brad Marchand has eight points in his last six games. He’s also a [...]
Here is an interesting breakdown on Linus Omark - Copper and Blue is predicting over 50 points for him next season. Vincent Lecavalier has 10 points in nine games now for TB after he scored the OT winner yesterday. Going back even further, Vinny has 27 points in his last 23 games. [...]
