The NHL has suspended Daniel Briere for two games. I'll have the clip in tomorrow morning's ramblings. Whenever a scoring forward is out for a game, Giroux and/or JVR gets their ice time and PP time padded. The Caps have sent Carlson back to the minors. He was pointless in three games. Wait for [...]
The Habs have recalled Sergei Kostitsyn. SK has 13 points in 16 games in the AHL. Guillaume Latendresse to the Wild for Benoit Pouliot, according to RDS. Two players of similar age and similar upside - albeit Pouliot has much more offensive potential, whereas Latendresse has much more crash and bang potential. Not sure [...]
It started out so promising. So how did things go south for Peter Mueller so quickly?
After averaging a point-and-a-half per game in the Western League and putting on WJC show overshadowed only by Jonathan Toews. He made the NHL as a 19 year old and potted 54 points, with the bulk of those coming in the second half. Then the bottom dropped out.
Marc Savard is expected to return to the lineup Monday. During his 15-game absence, Bergeron has just nine points and is a minus-2 in that span. Meanwhile, Krejci is showing signs of life with four points in three games prior to Friday when he was held off the scoresheet. My hunch is that Bergeron's production [...]
I’m on the road for work and this week’s picks are coming to you from Wawa, ON the home of legend Chris Simon … hahaha. They have a Chris Simon drive, which is of course the street the arena is on. Haven’t had as much time for the picks this week, as I’ve been busy travelling and working so I apologize for any lack of insight into the matchups. Thunder is at home so we won’t include her picks this week, but we’ve got 13 games on the schedule so enough dwelling on what could have been and here we go!
Crazynuck delivers the goods once again...
For your listening pleasure - put it on your Ipod or just listen in on your computer! Usually Dobber Nation is out on the 25th of every month, but due to health issues the October edition was pushed back. Finally it's here, so let's talk some fantasy hockey!
The New Jersey Devils had their eight game win streak snapped Monday night in Philadelphia. Most everyone lowered expectations or avoided drafting Devils predominantly based on the team bringing back the notoriously defensive-minded Jacques Lemaire as Head Coach. Other than a guy named Brodeur and more recently Parise, New Jersey has not typically been a fantasy friendly team.
Some injury news that I'm sure you've heard - Ryan Smyth's UBI will keep him out of the lineup for as long as a month. This will keep Dustin Brown on that top line and as such will hurt what Scott Parse and Jarret Stoll have been doing. This also frees up some more ice [...]
That's it - the Dispatch is reporting that Filatov will be loaned to the KHL for one year. It's done. A tale of two opposites - here is an update on two prospects I had hyped for Calder contention this year, each moving in an opposite direction: Ryan Stoa (COL) has six points in [...]
