Ramblings: Struggling Goalies; Forward Buy-Lows; Injuries to Bertuzzi & Ekblad (Oct 19)

The season is well underway now. We have fanbases panicking, parades being planned across half of the continent, and a whole bunch of news to cover.

Meanwhile, on a fantasy level, we have at least one week under our belts, so you're already seeing some direction from your team. Roto leaguers are just starting to get a sense of what categories they may need to patch up and which they have some excess in, while in points-only leagues it's still way too early to really react to much.

Keeping a level head early on is tough, but it will pay off in the long run.

Or, if season-long leagues aren't your thing, then there's always some DFS options to try your hand at. If you need some help getting started, there's a tool for that, and you can find it here.

One of our #DFS subscribers had a pretty good night. The different game types gives you different ways to chase the money.

The easiest place to start overreacting to is goaltending, and this year is no different, with Marc-Andre Fleury sporting a GAA over eight, Vitek Vanecek having played a single game (an un-inspiring loss), and the Avalanche still winning games despite continuing to get .880 goaltending.

None of these are ones I am at all worried about, and in fact I have inquired about acquiring a few of these guys in some leagues. If I can get my hands on Fleury or Vanecek without giving up a top-150 player, I'm jumping on it.

Same goes for a few other struggling goalies such as Thatcher Demko,
