Four years ago (over at The Hockey News, since DobberHockey wasn’t born until November of 2005) I strongly urged my readers in keeper leagues to start acquiring some of the young Penguins. I warned that trying to get one in 2008 would be next to impossible.
Havlat took a hit early in the second and did not return. He needs to stay home and get healthy - you only get one life. Havlat is playing, what can I say? As an unrestricted free agent, he needs to show that he is alright...even if he isn't. People who take a hit like [...]
Two of the OHL's top four offensive defenceman, including the first one to reach 90 points in almost a decade. A 16 year-old phenom destined for a top spot in next year's Draft. Six 20-goal scorers and three 30-goal scorers. The Windsor Spitfires were a dominant force during the regular season, and continued that run through the OHL playoffs. But things almost turned sour on the national stage.
Puck Daddy, a guest on the last Dobber Nation, reports on Sean Avery's new bar that he opened. Just an interesting read. Nikolai Khabibulin left last night's contest with a lower body injury. Huet came on and did not allow a goal in the third period nor in the brief OT. I would expect Huet [...]
The Flames fired Mike Keenan. We won't know what this means until they hire the new coach. Although, Keenan was criticized for playing Jokinen with Iginla far too much when they clearly didn't click. Perhaps with a new coach that won't happen now. Pavel Datsyuk's foot is actually broken. He missed tonight's game and it could [...]
Another confirmed guest for Dobber Nation: Jay Zawatski from 670 The Score in Chicago will talk some Hawks. Phil Kessel underwent unsuccessful shoulder surgery. It was the first surgery to be reported a failure right afterwards in sports history. Oh no, wait - according to all the headlines it was actually a "successful surgery". Sorry [...]
No.3 ranked draft eligible prospect Matt Duchene paid Long Island a visit yesterday. I think the Isles will go with Tavares, but they could trade down and take Hedman or Duchene. They did a lot of trading down last year. Here's an interesting article on Janne Pesonen . He apparently would like to re-sign with the [...]
The Canes may have lost both Ruutu and Cole. Both players left the game last night - Ruutu in the first (leg) and Cole in the third (knee). Naturally, we'll get no clue as to the severity until after Carolina is eliminated. Or they win the Cup. Sergei Gonchar played a team high 21:42 last [...]
La quatrième partie d’une série de quatre des joueurs qui ont possiblement joué leur dernier match pour leurs équipes respectives et ce qu’un déménagement pourrait signifier d’un point de vue de pooler.
Patrick Roy has apparently been offered the head coaching job in Colorado. Stay tuned... A great article on the performance of some Preds prospects can be found here. I'll summarize what assistant GM Paul Fenton said: On Mike Santorelli - "was able to score some goals, but he certainly still has some deficiencies in his game. [...]
