Cory Schneider has been re-assigned to Manitoba (AHL) as Curits Sanford has been cleared to play. Expect the Canucks to ride Jason Labarbera, though. He has been very solid through three games. Marco Sturm will probably have knee surgery once everything settles down in the area. The team isn't saying "done for the season" but... Jaroslav [...]
Le titre parle de lui-même. Alors, sans plus tarder…
Patrick Kane played last game with a high ankle sprain. Those sprains are generally pretty serious, yet he played with it... so I don't know what to think. He will not play today and you may see him miss a few games. Columbus recalled Maxim Mayorov from Syracuse. He has 16 points in 33 NHL [...]
Tarik El-Bashir is reporting in his blog that Alexander Semin is "hoping" to be back for the game tonight. Tomas Fleischmann is hoping to be back Tuesday. Tyler Kennedy could return to the PIT lineup tonight. Sergei Gonchar was back on the ice yesterday. He will still need at least 10 more weeks to recover - [...]
Marian Gaborik will undergo hip surgery and will be sidelined for 10 weeks. This will take him past the trade deadline, thereby making a trade to another team unlikely. As recently as this past summer, I had people arguing with me in the forum about his Band-Aid Boy status. Needless to say, it was funny [...]
Happy New Year!
We'll continue with part three of a four part series (similar to my Western counter-parts “Fantasy Indicators of Success ” series). My last article covered defensemen and how important power play ice time was to their success. This week’s focus is on Eastern Conference wingers (as listed by NHL.com).
Justin Williams is pointless in his last six contests. Florida's David Booth has five in his last three. He is on pace for 50 on the year which is where I think he'll end up. Brandon Dubinsky has four points in his last four games and he began the year with nine in nine. That means he [...]
Ales Hemsky's nose injury could hold him out today, but will likely not keep him out beyond that. The Kings sent Trevor Lewis back to Manchester. TJ Oshie was back in the lineup for St. Louis. He played 16:28 and notched an assist. St. Louis line combos: Oshie with Tkachuk and Backes; Berglund with Perron and Boyes; McClement [...]
