Goldie Says: Here's why I think Nabokov still belongs in the NHL, preferrably in a TBL uni. Ellis and Smith insight included. I'll have a pulse on this until TB announces they are "confident" in Ellis/Smith. Which they shouldn't be. I agree about NSH's defensive system. But Mitch Korn still produces amazing "NHL ready" goalies [...]
Turco gets the start against the Avs tonight. A mediocre performance means this thing drags on for another week (again). A horrible performance shifts the starting job firmly into Crawford's court. A great performance probably shifts it slightly into Turco's direction. Jody Shelley got two games for the hit I show below. [...]
Michael Frolik took a massive hit from Jordin Tootoo, that may have been shoulder to chin. I stuck the clip at the end. Anders Lindback earned his first career shutout, and he'll still be posting the big numbers for another two weeks or so, as Rinne recovers. Evgeni Malkin is targeting Tuesday [...]
The big event at the River Rock Casino/Resort was a lot of fun, and we have pictures to prove it! The staff at River Rock and within Lulu's Lounge were fantastic, the hockey talk was rampant and beverages were consumed. Here are the pics...
Life has been fairly busy lately, so unfortunately these will have to be quick and dirty, however the last time I went with this format I managed to break .500. Here’s hoping that trend continues as I manage to not overanalyze the hockey matchups. On the other hand, Thunder’s analysis depends on the flavour of doggie treat I hold in my hand. Here’s what’s going down this Saturday...
Following my Western counterparts lead this week, we'll take a look at the Eastern Conference in the search for big busts. I will also give you my take on what the balance of the season might hold for them.
It’s been a good month for 21-year-old Colorado Avalanche defenceman, Kevin Shattenkirk. Maybe for you too, if you were savvy enough to snag him early. But that would put you in the minority. For the rest of us, we’ve had to watch in increasing awe as the young defender racked up 14 points in his first 15 games in the NHL.
J.P. From Japer's Rink (@JapersRink) Tweeted the exact numbers - Perreault has seven points in four "first game after recall" opportunities. Let's kick things off with my buddy Mathieu Perreault. Two goals, no power-play time, and 13 minutes of ice time. If he's been recalled five times in his career (not sure), I [...]
There we go - the Caps have finally recalled Mathieu Perreault. Hopefully he sticks around for awhile, but look for continued progress (maybe three points in six games - to me that is nice progress). Billy Guerin has officially retired. A solid fantasy player who extended his worth by signing for that final [...]
Corey Crawford will get the start today for Chicago. A big start from him will solidify his claim as the No.1 guy. He's won five in a row. The issue with downloads and the ultimate/keeper league packs is still being worked on, I expect it to be solved this week. Sorry for this, [...]
