Why these young centermen will clear 60 points this campaign

In with the old and out with the new. You see it every season. A young forward joins the ranks of 60-point players, replacing an older forward who habitually got there throughout his career, but now falls short. Don’t underestimate these players at the draft table, as they are part of the next wave.

Left Wing Lock(out): Are LWs Relatively Scarce This Year?

By Dobber Sports|2010-09-15T18:22:21-04:00September 15th, 2010|z-Archives (other articles)|

The left-wing lock was a defensive strategy popularized by Scotty Bowman and the Detroit Red Wings in the 1990s. In essence, it was very simple. If the opposing team gained possession of the puck, the left-winger would drop back with the defensemen. It helped reshape the Red Wings into a team that could frustrate opponents defensively as well as bury them on the scoreboard.

Today, I wonder if we poolies face another form of left wing frustration - an apparent scarcity of quality left wingers to draft. Call it the leftwing lockout if you will. But whatever you call it, within a matter of weeks we will all have to draft our teams for the coming campaign, so let’s examine the potential problem.

While revamping the downloads section, the new updated guide was inadvertantly removed and the one from Sept 12 was made available. I have switched this back now so it is the Sept 15 Fantasy Guide you can update now. Ditto for the Spreadsheet. I'm normally not in agreement with Damien Cox, so this [...]

Larry Brooks is reporting that Anaheim is about to sign Paul Mara. That would about kill Cam Fowler's chances. Signing Mara and Andy Sutton, and Fowler went from lock to unlikely. Here's a head-scratcher. Phoenix has signed Eric Belanger for one year. They needed a second/third line center like the Leafs need a [...]

Every hour or so I will be announcing a dozen names drawn for an invite into the Entry League of my Three-Tiered Invitational. I'll draw 53 winners and lucky 12 reserve names. Last year I think we needed to use 10 or 12 reserve names thanks to conflicts, etc. So if you are chosen [...]
