We did a Deep Analysis of Jeff Angus’ team, The Crosby Show, before last season and we’re back again to give him another edge. Check all of our fantasy hockey tools out over at the HockeyPoolGeek.
(Editors note: considering my entire league will be reading this, not sure how much of an edge I actually get!)
Fantasy Guide is updated now...includes the Paul Byron cut, and Nick Johnson waiver pickup. The Draft List is updated - this is the one you want going into the draft tonight or tomorrow! Brendan Smith was suspended for five games (regular season) and the three remaining preseason games. According to Dmitry Chesnokov, [...]
Last year the New Jersey Devils went from being one of the more consistent upper echelon teams to absolutely plummeting. Many have debated what the cause was – anything from Ilya Kovalchuk being a cancer in the dressing room to Martin Brodeur getting old to Zach Parise missing almost all year and just about everything in between. The fact of the matter is that something went wrong early and the team was forced to react.
Rob Rossi is reporting that Crosby may join the Penguins for their opening road trip. Not sure if that means he'll play, though... My first piece for the Canucks Army - I'll be writing there every Thursday this season, so you now don't have to be bombarded with my Canuck stuff on here! [...]
Every year there seems to be a few players that come out of nowhere to magically to give you a surprising boost, (Corey Perry, Pekka Rinne, Kari Lehtonen, Dustin Byfuglien, or Lubomir Visnovsky last season), or one that you ranked so highly but ended up destroying your season because you invested so highly on them, (Steve Mason, Bobby Ryan, or Evgeni Malkin). With a few weeks remaining before the first puck drops in the 2011-12 season, hopefully I can provide you with a last-minute look of some players out West who will either make or break your fantasy season.
In the recent Dobber Hockey Expert’s League draft I was faced with a difficult decision. It was the seventh round and I had yet to pick a centerman. Worst of all, the cream of the crop had been picked clean. It was to be expected but I was nevertheless disappointed. Clearly I needed to grab the best centerman available and had plenty of options with upside just nothing that was a sure fire winner. All the options I considered had upside but every one of them came with a possible deal breaker. It was like when Barney describes the fatal “Ohhhh…” moment on How I Met Your Mother only instead of chicks I was judging NHL players.

Fantasy Guide and Draft List updated as of yesterday. I added a GP projection for the goalies in the draft list (will be in the next guide update). Also, the iPhone draft app is updated. Happy Birthday to the Maaaaaaaaaasquito himself - Ryan Ma! Another homerun for Down Goes Brown! LOL - [...]
Before I begin, allow me to recite the Golden Rule of fantasy goalie rankings. “Explain the format, lay out the parameters and clearly state the stipulations that create every ranking.” With that in mind, this year’s Top-10 Fantasy Goalies ranking for one-year leagues is focused on volume. It includes goalies that I feel will not only play a ton of games and see tons of shots, but also make a high percentage of saves and have the best odds of playing consistently well from start to finish.
Back from a fun weekend of drafting (two drafts – both keeper leagues). A little tired, getting caught back up on the world of hockey – will update the Fantasy Guide later today with Saturday and Sunday news, notes and cuts. More cuts - from Dallas, Los Angeles and Montreal. The Habs [...]
