First off, an apology to the Dobber faithful. The plan was to provide an update at the end of October, but there was a slight hiccup along the way. While out in Vancouver for work, the memory stick that had my end October standings and write up were stolen along with several other valuable items (good old Van City!). The good news is that some of the property was recovered, including the memory stick. Now, on with the update!
On a political note, if the HST gets carried through - and it already passed a vote today - all of my stuff will have another 8% tax added to it. So if you can speak up, or fight it, by all means do so. Rod Brind-Amour and Cam Ward will be back in [...]
Breaking news from Philly.com: Ray Emery has an abdominal tear and will be out for 4-6 weeks. It's Boucher's baby for the next 15 games or so. The Flyers should be a winning team, so I would think that Boucher will get some W's. Whenever their slump ends, that is. TSN is reporting that [...]
Angus here. Got a fantasy hockey question to ask? I'll be answering them in this thread. The cut off for questions is 10pm EST/7pm PST. The beginning of the end? Rod the Bod will be a healthy scratch tonight. As is the case 48 percent of the time - my hunch was wrong. [...]
I wonder about things. These thoughts often inch towards the borders of insanity. Thankfully, they’re confined to the realm of fantasy hockey, so I don’t need to check myself in anywhere. But I’ll look at what a player has done in one game or in one league or in one month and a crazy thought will appear in my head – often too nutty to even ramble about in my daily blog.
If you are in a keeper league, then Matthew Bugg's article Hockey Night in Slovakia is absolutely required reading. If you don't read it, or if it doesn't interest you, then call the commish of your league and hand in your resignation - fantasy hockey has passed you by. Since returning from injury, Eric [...]
From the country that brought that us Marian Gaborik, Marian Hossa, Ziggy Palffy and of course Peter Stastny, a young- YOUNG- player is poised to do something not even Sidney Crosby could at the same age.
Wawa, ON was quite rough on me and my selections a couple of weeks ago. Lesson learned, just like with a woman, alcohol hinders judgement when it comes to hockey. I am now back in the Bay, and Thunder’s been getting antsy without making any picks for almost a month. I wish I could say that I’ve won $1300, but I guess I just don’t have the balls to send out anything more than a $5 ticket. 14 games on tap for the weekend, let’s see if we can get back to our winning ways.
Crazynuck delivers the goods for Week 10 of the NHL season!
In keeping with my Western counterparts theme this week, I’ll take a look at some Eastern Conference players that could be considered busts at this point in the season. I will also give you my slant on what to expect for the remainder of the season.
