Bugg here. Bizarro happenings in the OHL this afternoon. The Erie Otters were already down a goaltender with an injury to back-up Devin Williams. They then lost starter Ramis Sadikov less than two minutes into the game! 2012-eligible center Connor Crisp was forced into net, and has made six saves on nine shots so far. [...]

Pavel Bure gave an interview a few days ago. He also shares his view on the NHL, KHL, and a few other issues. " Kuznetsov is 100% ready to play in the NHL. Sure, I’m not that familiar with his personal life, but hockey-wise he’s NHL-ready." Tuukka Rask left the game today [...]

Saturday’s NHL Picks – March 3rd

I can hardly wait to see how these last six weeks unfold.
Without further ado, this weekend’s Six-Pack!

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.
Emery or Bust for Blackhawks
I felt so left out on Monday. Not a single goalie – not even an AHL prospect – was traded all day long. I was up at six o’clock in the morning, only to sit on my butt with nothing to analyze, nothing to say, nothing to do. So instead of this being the final piece of my four-part series on goalies at the trade deadline, I’ve decided to stay on the topic of Blackhawks goaltending, since their team was (and still is) in dire need of an upgrade.
