Aaron Portzline is reporting that Kristian Huselius took a shot off the foot Saturday and he will not be in the lineup tonight. I'm guessing bruise, and not break, so he won't miss a lot of time. Breaking: With Asham, Michalek and Orpik all returning to the lineup, the Pens have assigned Eric [...]
(Finland's Joel Armia is a cool character both on the ice and off it.)
The first full month of the NHL season is winding to a close. However, despite some surprise slow starts, the bottom of the standings shows that some things never change- or at least don't in one season.
Angus here - my fantasy mailbag is open for business today! Ask me your fantasy hockey questions here. JP Dumont left the Nashville contest with an undisclosed injury. Carolina has sent Brett Carson to the minors. Simon Gagne remains out with a stiff neck. Johan Hedberg got the start for [...]
It’s great to have hockey back on again this year, and I apologize to the delay of our Saturday picks column as work has been crazy, and I’m finally in town to throw some numbers together. Last year had its share of ups and downs... let’s face it, more downs than ups, but this is a clean slate so hopefully things can start off hot. There are plenty of surprising teams to start the season, so I won’t be holding my breath this week. Thunder returns for a 3rd season and it’s come to the point that I have to lock my other dog out in order to even get these picks done in time. Hope everyone’s got a cold beer on hand for the 13 games scheduled this Saturday.
Earlier this week, my Western counterpart covered some early season success stories and discussed whether or not they were likely to continue lighting the lamp or crash and burn. I'll attempt to give you my take on the Eastern side of the house.
The top six goalies are so close you couldn't slide a piece of paper in between them, according to keeper leagues with a playoff element. Just doing the goalie keeper rankings - and while Luongo and Fleury have tumbled, they haven't tumbled enough to fall out of the Top 2... I'm trying to [...]
Interesting moves in Calgary - they have plucked Brenden Mikkelson off of waivers from Anaheim and assigned TJ Brodie to the AHL. The Tennessean is reporting that Pekka Rinne will start tonight and Martin Erat will return to the lineup. The Oilers have finally juggled their lines - but kudos to them [...]
Josh Cooper, Preds beatwriter, says that Matt Lombardi has a concussion. He will miss the next four games. At least. So Mr. O'Reilly, you have four games to make a big impression. The Devils have sent Alex Urborn to the minors. Vincent Lecavalier took a shot off the hand last game, but [...]
Angus here - Mason Raymond is playing with the Sedin twins tonight against Carolina. Cory Schneider is getting the start. Tomas Kopecky continues to roll, and he now has seven points in six games. How awesome are the Florida Panthers? So awesome that they can waive Michael Grabner and scratch Steve [...]
(Luleå's Daniel Mannberg, one of Sweden's top 2011 prospects)
Although one Swedish skater’s name has been on the tongues of draft-watchers since his Elitserien debut three years ago, the 2011 class is much deeper than just Adam Larsson.
