In what is very good news for Penguins fans and very bad news for Habs fans, Sidney Crosby returned to practice on Wednesday.

After all, the home player can often excel thanks to last line change leading to optimal matchups. However, that’s not always the case. This year, for example, 24 players had at least eight more road points [...]
The Interactive Playoff Draft List is now up and ready for download. If you bought the Ultimate Fantasy Pack last year, this is included in that package (i.e. not the more popular Keeper League Pack, so make sure you have the Ultimate Pack before trying to download it).
