I completely missed this unbelievable news this morning. I was so caught up in the ice time of Brad Richards and analyzing the line combos, that I did not know that he BROKE his OTHER wrist. Wow - he is definitely done for the season, and I would suspect the first round of the playoffs [...]
The playoffs have started in the CHL, but that doesn't mean the hockey season is over for those who didn't make the cut. The World U18s start April 9th in Fargo, Minnesota. Find out who's a lock for Team Canada, and who might join them pending a first-round loss.
Vancouver signed college free agent forward Eric Walsky. The 24-year-old finished second on Colorado College scoring this season, one point behind Toronto prospect Chad Rau and 13 ahead of Chicago prospect Bill Sweatt. Using their standing as a base of comparison, Walsky would slide in around 200th on my prospects list. With Boyd Gordon out [...]
So much for making up ground last week! Despite my best efforts, and a few games not ending soon enough and one game in particular ending a couple minutes early, I find myself licking my paws going 6-7 last week, while Thunder victorious again picked eight winners, including her first tie of the year between the Caps and Canes. Seriously, Maggie the monkey, you’d better watchout. Thunder’s .553 winning percentage would have her ranked seventh place in the Western Conference right now ahead of the Edmonton Oilers, and just behind Columbus. My winning percentage, well, let’s not go there right now… light schedule for a Saturday night with only eight matchups so let’s get to it:
Willie Mitchell is an impressive plus-20 in the last 22 games for Vancouver. He has 21 points as well, so Mitchell has been a great value in deep rotissere and head-to-head leagues this season. Nikolai Kulemin's wife was due to give birth, so he missed last night's contest. Ryane Clowe will miss about a week after undergoing [...]
Tobias Enstrom’s overall numbers are a little deceiving. Fully half of his 22 points have come over the 14 games since Mat Schneider was dealt. Enstrom has logged 25 minutes or more ice time in ten of the last 14 games, including four efforts over 27 minutes.
Francois Beauchemin has been back on the ice for the past week doing some light skating and shooting pucks. I can see him back in the lineup for the final week of the season. Sergei Samsonov has 41 points in his last 53 games. When he started the year with just three in 18, it [...]
A fun time was had by all at the Marlies game on March 07. Wings, pizza, beer, a luxury suite, fantasy hockey fans - and a good hockey game...
Matt Lashoff played 23:01 for TB last night, including over four minutes on the PP. He was pointless and a minus-1. With the NHL record now in his back pocket, Martin Brodeur will not be in net tonight for the Devils. The Coyotes went with a tough lineup last night. Besides Fedoruk returning, and hard-hitting Brandon [...]
It’s been far too long since the last update of Dobber’s three-tiered hockey pools. This update will cover from the beginning of January until the end of February. The last update at the end of December had Experts Audit (Ian Fergusson) in first place.
