On the day Dobber welcomes a daughter, the family of enforcer Derek Boogaard is mourning after losing their son. Sad news, no matter how you felt about his style of play. Boogaard was 28. No cause of death at this time. Congrats to Dobber - his wife gave birth to a beautiful baby girl [...]
The Avs have signed Milan Hejduk to a one-year deal worth $2.6 million. Look for a 65-game season and probably coming in around 55 points. Montreal prospect Louis Leblanc will miss the next four to six months due to shoulder surgery. Leblanc is ranked 28 on my prospects list and is featured in [...]
Early reports indicate that Ryane Clowe will not be in the SJ lineup tonight... Johan Franzen’s ankle could prevent him from playing tonight. Mike Modano hopes that happens – because it means he gets back into the lineup. I’m sure he doesn’t “hope” per se, but it’s gotta be tough to be a [...]
Usually you'll find several rambles throughout the day but you haven't seen that and I apologize. With the Prospects Report out on June 1, I want to make sure I get it done. Normally that is not an issue, but with my second daughter due to be born in a week or two...it could [...]
Fantasy Prospects Report is only 23 days from release – I feel like I’m so far ahead in writing/editing this, but that date is fast approaching…and this is the best one yet – lots of positive feedback on my new 3YP statistic so I added it to the player analysis in this document. There [...]
Angus here - my May edition of the 15 Points to Consider will be out on Friday. As usual, jam-packed with information. My THN column from yesterday on Claude Giroux. I’ve been a little late with these lately, but it’s that time of year again – May through September most of the [...]
JVR is really having a coming out party, eh? If last year’s Claude Giroux show is any indication, van Riemsdyk should have a big year next campaign. He has a five-game points streak now. Make that a five-game GOAL streak. Brad Marchand has eight points in his last six games. He’s also a [...]
Here is an interesting breakdown on Linus Omark - Copper and Blue is predicting over 50 points for him next season. Vincent Lecavalier has 10 points in nine games now for TB after he scored the OT winner yesterday. Going back even further, Vinny has 27 points in his last 23 games. [...]
Another day, another Philadelphia goalie swap. Brian Boucher was pulled after giving up five goals on 23 shots – Sergei Bobrovsky came in and stopped eight of 10. Meanwhile, Mike Leighton has an LBI and Johan Backlund is now the No.3 option. I don’t blame the coach for this mess, as Don Cherry seemed [...]
This week - hopefully today, perhaps as late as Friday - I will put the Fantasy Prospects Report, the Keeper League Pack and the Ultimate Pack C up for sale in the shop and rev up the hype machine for that work of art. Stay tuned for that. Not yet - I will post [...]
