Evgeni Malkin will not play tonight due to his sore foot. The Pens feel no pressure to rush him, their spot is fairly solid. Mikael Samuelsson will be lost 2-3 weeks with a shoulder injury. The Canucks have recalled Michal Grabner. He really proved himself NHL ready last time, prior to getting hurt, whereas [...]
Alex Ovechkin still rules the roost, even if he is sitting at home watching games on TV as a result of a suspension. Boyle looks at the other top rotisserie players season to date as of the Olympics.
Jordan Eberle has been assigned to Springfield of the AHL. It would be nice to see Eberle get a game or two in the NHL so we can see what he can do. But for now, the second best prospect to own in a keeper league will be in the 'A'. Jiri Hudler - [...]
Ovechkin gets two games. The NHL had a no-win announcement - anything from 0 to infinity games would lead to an outcry somewhere. I for one feel comfortable with the two games. And I do admit that if Ovechkin's name was I.P. Freely, he would have gotten 10. And I am not totally against a [...]

Some of you used them last year but for the benefit of new readers here is a refresher. The number next to the team indicates the 'multiplier' to use on a player's point-per-game pace to give you an idea how many points to expect for that week.
Contrary to the letter put out on February 12 by the owners of a certain Florida franchise, I think the future (and that includes next season) is very bright for the core of this team. While change is almost always needed from year to year, "significant change" may not be.
Canes Now is reporting that Oscar Osala has been recalled and he will play on a line with Rod Brind'Amour and Sergei Samsonov. It will be called the "Dobber was stuck with all of these guys last year" line. Prospects list will not be updated today. Hopefully by tomorrow. Patrick O'Sullivan took a [...]
THANK YOU DobberHockey readers (and contributors)! I have achieved my goal of sending 50 kids to an AHL game here in Toronto on March 27. You guys really stepped up. I'll be finalizing the arrangements with the Children's Aid Society and with the Marlies today and will fill you in on details as they come [...]
