To give you an organized list of our content (and to prove that I am somewhat organized), I have created this schedule of columns on DobberHockey. Crosby, per TSN, is missing the next two games "as a precaution". This precaution is for a hard hit that he took, and although the blow was [...]
My THN column yesterday focused on the most consistent players in the league this year. Including Kessel, Fleischmann and the Nuge. Also, here is my Puck Daddy piece. For what it's worth, Kris Letang seems as though he is on the mend, but would need to be symptom free for a week before [...]
My Puck Daddy article is up. Find it here. Both Kris Letang and Zbynek Michalek have been diagnosed with concussions. Simon Despres makes an excellent pickup - do it now. Some Avalanche notes - Paul Stastny left the game late after suffering a torso injury. Also, Stefan Elliott's low ice time came [...]
James Reimer started his first game since he was knocked out of action against the Habs Oct. 22 following a collision with Brian Gionta, which produced concussion-like symptoms. Reimer was fine given the layoff and his peripherals against the Bruins coming in (3-1-0, 2.46/ .930) were outstanding, but you’ve got to feel for [...]
(#17 Max Lalander looks to make a move)
From the league that brought you Henrik Zetterberg, Alex Edler and Tomas Holmström, a raw young talent with superstar potential is making waves in front of his hometown crowd- when he's not in the penalty box.
Anthony bounces back 6-0 with his picks last week. How about sending some of that my way?? We had a little rough patch last week with only two winners, while Thunder managed an impressive 4-2 record with picking winners such as the Leafs and Jets. It’s time to step up and answer the call. I was heading home from work Wednesday afternoon and wished my colleague, an avid Leafs fan, luck that evening as his team was going up against the Bruins. I told him I thought the game would end 6-3 in Boston’s favour, where he argued that the game would be closer with how well the Leafs have played as of late. I agreed with him to an extent and conceded that the sixth goal would be an empty netter. Surely enough the B’s pull out a 6-3 win with an empty netter to seal the deal. Hopefully some of that insight will rub off for this week, and/or I just wasted it all on a single game. Hope everyone enjoys this Saturday’s action and a triple header on CBC for us hockey nut bags in Canada.
This month, host Brian Kom chats with Jeremy Rutherford, a beat reporter covering the Blues. He also talks with (fake) Henrik Zetterberg about his personal life. Jim Gintonio comes on to talk about the Turris situation, and DobberHockey's own Jason Arbuthnot dives into the wonderful world of the Frozen Pool fantasy tools.
Hitting the quarter mark is a reasonable time for poolies to panic if their team isn't panning out. Don't panic to the point of making rash decisions, but realizing the time has come for a roster shakeup isn't unrealistic. If a trade can't be found, looking to the waiver wire may be the only option. There are generally a ton of options with the potential for big production in short spurts so let's take a look at some cheap options that can give your roster a swift kick in the arse.
Midseason Guide is out in about six weeks. I've also set up a package where you can get this, the playoff draft list AND a Frozen Pool or Goalie Post membership for $19.99. That's basically just a buck for the membership. There are other deals in the shop too - including one for Hockey [...]
Taylor Hall - out two to four weeks with his shoulder injury per TSN. Paajarvi has a few games to show his stuff Updated the Elliott/Wilson note below. Stefan Elliott's hot start reminds me of Shattenkirk's from a year ago. Footage of the Tootoo dive below. Shameless! The Tennessean floated the concept [...]
