My Midseason Guide was released Friday, get it here. If you want to see how great the guide is, you can pick up last year’s edition for free here. FIVE games for Brad Marchand. Part 1 of my Pouliot hunch has paid off. Part 2 is him actually doing something during these five [...]
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.
It's true. Don't fight it. Size does matter.
New name, same content. My monthly 15 Points to Consider has now become a weekly 15 Prime Cuts. 15 of my thoughts from the week that was in the world of hockey. This week, I take a look at Jiri Hudler, Brendan Gallagher, the mess in Edmonton (once again), Brayden Schenn, and more.
Get your hands on the 2011-12 Midseason Guide. Hmm. More bad injury news for the Pens. The team will be without Jordan Staal for 4-6 weeks. MCL-related. No surgery. James Neal will miss "weeks" after sustaining a broken foot blocking a shot last night. On the bright side, at least there are timelines [...]
The 2011-12 Midseason Guide is now posted. Enjoy! Luke Adam has one point in his last 12 games. Derek Roy left the game early into the first with an upper-body injury. From Die by the Blade: "Only four players on the Sabres roster are going to be able to finish the season [...]
Well it was a terrific ending to 2011, with a 5-1 week, just those pesky Islanders getting in the way of a perfect Saturday night. Luckily I left that game off of my pro-line ticket. Thunder on the other hand had a week she’d like to forget only picking the Avs and Isles as winners, over Washington and Minnesota respectively, which is still gutsy in my book. Here’s a look at the matchups I like for this upcoming Saturday. I stayed away from the Bruins Canucks rematch, even though the B’s have won 9 of their last 10 while scoring 49 goals in the process. Lots of early NHL action as Bettman is worried about Wild Card weekend in the NFL (Go Niners!!! Oh wait, that’s next weekend). Let’s get it on:
Midseason Guide now posted. Enjoy! If you bought the GOLD package, my apologies - I assigned last year's midseason guide to it instead of today's. I fixed the issue, albeit 5 hours later (couldn't figure out was wrong until now - duh). Also - I re-issued this month's rankings at 4pm ET [...]
At the beginning of each season there are a few players who produce above their ability. Poolies have to decide whether or not that player is for real or simply on a hot streak. There are currently a handful of players who have been performing beyond expectations, some since the beginning of the season and others who may just be on the aforementioned hot streak. Who is real and who is not? I will discuss who can keep it up and whether or not these players can be of value in a salary cap league.
News to no one, but Boston is so deep and so talented up front. They had 10 forwards with points yesterday against the Devils. No forward played less than 10 minutes (Thornton) and no forward played more than 17 (Peverley and Marchand). Impressive stuff. Larsson and Tallinder were a combined minus-8 for the [...]
