Dan Sexton just got an extended stay and an improved shot at continuing to impress - Joffrey Lupul will undergo surgery on his back that will sideline him for 6-8 weeks... Colby Armstrong is on another one of his hot streaks. He has points in four straight (five in all). He usually goes hot/cold [...]
Chris Boyle is back with his monthly roto rankings. Unfortunately, to quote Boyle - "my real job got in the way of my fake job this month", so you'll have to wait until January for the hilarity of his fine wit to resume.
Just remember that unlike the other rankings on this site, the roto rankings gives you the value of the player in rotisserie leagues season-to-date, and does not project for the future...
Update: Spezza may not be back until after the Olympic break. They're talking eight weeks, which at that point he may as well take a few more days off and then get the extended break to be sure. The Flyers have claimed Michael Leighton. That sounds much better than John Grahame. However, until Boucher [...]
Martin Gerber suffered a very serious neck injury in the KHL. It's a broken vertebrae in his neck and he will be out for the season - and probably in the hospital for a couple of months. Details are here. Mat Perreault has been sent to the AHL by the Caps, who then recalled [...]
A player has cropped up over the past week who has grabbed my attention. He has a decent shot of panning out – and continuing to pan out – for the long term. The player is almost certain to be a great short-term asset. A big part of our love for fantasy hockey is the hope that under-the-radar players bring. We’re dying for the respect and admiration of the other owners in our league for being the first to dig up the latest gem.
Two good points in the comments section below (I love our readers - LOVE them!). Stoa was recalled over Hensick because of re-entry waivers. Sometimes I can't see the forest through all the trees. Also, another great discovery - Stephen Weiss is FIFTH in scoring over the past month. I'm proud to say that I [...]
Tarik El Bashir noted on Twitter that as of 11:15 am this morning the Caps were still not in Toronto. They could be tired tonight. Portzline is reporting that Fred Modin will be in the CBJ lineup tonight. Steve Zipay is reporting that Dubinsky could play Monday. Michal Repik has been recalled [...]
Crazynuck delivers the goods for Week 11 of the NHL season.
This week I’ll take a look at a pair of Steve’s, both sets call the State of Florida home.
Anyone want to hazard a guess who was the number one Yahoo skater over the past month?
Ryan Getzlaf certainly has experienced a nice turnaround in November, and Phil Kessel has made his arrival in Leaf Nation known, but the number one ranked skater for the past 30 days was Mikko Koivu. He is now ranked 18th overall, and is the 9th best centre this season.
