Cage Match Tournament – Sweet 16 Part 2

By steve laidlaw|2015-07-24T09:01:09-04:00March 19th, 2012|Roos Lets Loose|

Things are heating up in the polls as we close in on deciding who the best fantasy player is - only 12 left standing...

Apparently there are a ton of fun things you can do with chalk. One thing that isn’t much fun is going chalk in a bracket tournament. In that regard you guys are total bores (at least this round anyway). After the previous round of polls yielded two upsets you guys decided to go straight chalk in the first half of the Sweet Sixteen. I am not complaining though, I just love the irony that a “fantasy” game could yield such unimaginative results.

State of the Toronto Maple Leafs

Brian Burke - the best man for the job in Toronto - The worst franchise that I have ever seen was the 2008-09 version of the Toronto Maple Leafs. They had little in the way of draft picks, their farm system was disgusting, and their pro team was filled with untradeable contracts. There wasn’t one franchise in the NHL that I would swap for the Leafs. They were horrible in every sense of the word.

Through eight March games, Jeff Carter has a point-per-game average with the Kings. Dustin Penner had a couple of points this evening against the Preds, but has just 16 this season. 16. Pavel Datsyuk returned for the Wings and scored, although his team still fell 3-2 to the Sharks in overtime. Valtteri [...]

The worst mistake losing poolies can make down the stretch is to tune out their teams entirely.

Beyond the Elite Names (Part I)

By Dobber Sports|2012-03-17T16:33:08-04:00March 17th, 2012|z-Archives (other articles)|

Prospects

The Dean’s List has already previewed the top offensive forwards available for the upcoming 2012 NHL draft class and your fantasy prospect drafts but now it is time to turn our focus to a few player names creeping up the ranks. Examine the past draft boards two, three or four years later and you will certainly find a few names that leave you asking, “how was that player not selected higher?”

The list contains several current NHL star players highlighted by Corey Perry, Ryan Getzlaf, Claude Giroux, Shea Weber, Paul Statsny and Milan Lucic to name a few. The 2012 draft class will be no different and it’s important to introduce the readers to potential names that could be occupying future fantasy rosters in the near future. Lets face it, only a select few will have the opportunity to draft the Yakupovs, Grigorenkos, Dumbas and Galchenyuks in your upcoming fantasy drafts, so in Beyond the Elite Names (Part 1) TDL familiarizes the readers with talented players not receiving enough attention but should still become fantasy relevant.

Saturday’s NHL Picks – St. Patrick’s Day

By Anthony Lancione|2015-07-24T09:01:14-04:00March 16th, 2012|NHL Picks/Props|

Good afternoon poolies! As divisional and conference races only begin to increasingly intensify in the coming days and weeks, we can be sure for yet another fun filled slate this Saturday evening. There are several close-to-call matchups, but I’ll do my best to guide you through them. The last few weeks I’ve been splitting my picks. So-so I suppose, but if my ‘slump’ is running off at a .500 clip, then I suppose it’s not the worst vibe to be on for a turnaround week, where I aim to hit at a high percentage once more.

Ladies and gentlemen, let’s get to the six pack.

Calgary rookie Sven Baertschi has scored his third goal in four games. Tremendous upside and he'll have a lot more confidence next season knowing he can produce at the NHL level. Iginla has goals in six straight games. He's doing all he can to get a Calgary team that has battled the injury [...]

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.
