I cannot lie to you guys, I have been afraid to write this Cage Match article for quite some time. I mean, it is easy to compare Patrick Kane and Claude Giroux but how do you discern a difference beyond the logo on the front, and the name on the back of their sweaters?

Some SHOP notes: No longer for sale is an Ultimate Fantasy Pack. Instead, I have a "Mini Pack" that has the Midseason Guide and Playoff List for $12.99.

Injuries keep occurring. This is why it is essential to look at weekly lineup combination as opposed to monthly or seasonal. The time is now to pay attention when many of your counterparts may not be due to the Thanksgiving holiday. It is time to take a look at what Week 7 may bring.

Listening to the audio of the Bylsma conference call now. Sullivan-Malkin-Neal/ Kunitz-Crosby-Dupuis/ Cooke-Staal-Kennedy. He alludes to Staal also mixing in with Malkin, [...]
