 With Mike Fisher now on the shelf, this could be an opportunity for Ilya Zubov to land on a scoring line. Or perhaps Vermette will move back to center. I wouldn't bet on either player right now, but something sure needs to give in Ottawa. Fisher is out two weeks with a strained knee. I need [...]

Greatest Combo featuring Wayne Gretzky- MSNBC/AP

 

When trading in fantasy sports you have decisions. Just like at the counter of your favorite fast food joint, one needs to be decisive and accurate with their choices. Do you go for the pricey combo meal players? Crosby, Malkin, AO, Vanek or even Semin? Sure, these guys have the whole package, immense talent and huge production, but are they worth the cost? Some are bonafide classics like the Big "Mac" Joe Thornton, but others may just be for a limited time only like the McRib or Ryane Clowe.  Champions in fantasy sports look to the value menu for their trade steals.

 

Yes this is cheesy, but it wouldn't be fast food without plenty of it.

 Turns out the Pens recalled John Curry after all. I really like this late-bloomer and in a year or two I think you will hear more from him. The decision was made likely because whoever was recalled would be sitting on the bench, whereas WBS needed their hot starter. So Berkhoel stayed.  Jason Arnott went to [...]

Joe Thornton n’est pas tout à fait à un point par partie et ses propriétaires dans les pools sont déçus. Ils ne devraient pas l’être, car tout fonctionne selon un plan.

Big Joe est un joueur de top-six (selon le classement des joueurs DobberHockey ) dans les ligues qui n’ont pas de positions requises et qui comptent strictement les points.

‘Big Joe’ Thornton – Like Clockwork

 Thornton

Joe Thornton is not quite at a point per game and his fantasy owners are deeply disappointed. They shouldn’t be, because everything is proceeding according to plan.

Big Joe is a top-six fantasy player (according to the DobberHockey player rankings ) in leagues that do not have positional requirements and count strictly points.

 Derek Roy, Eric Staal, Patrice Bergeron and Jonathan Toews are tied in the NHL scoring race. That in of itself is not shocking. The fact that they are tied for 132nd is. All buy low candidates.  Suddenly, Brandon Dubinsky is on pace for 56 points. Guess I was right after all. I was doubting myself [...]

 Ryan Whitney told the Tribune that he expects to practice within two weeks. If so, he could be back in the lineup in early December, a good two weeks earlier than expected. I think the team will try to move Darryl Sydor as that date approaches. Currently, the Pens PP has Malkin, Crosby, Sykora, Satan [...]

Birds of Pray

Not many people gave the Thrashers a prayer this season. Atlanta has been Hotlanta of late, winning four in a row after going winless in the previous six contests. It’s interesting to note that they’ve done this without their most experienced defenseman or top goaltender in the lineup. Schneider is scheduled to return this Friday, whereas Lehtonen reinjured his back at practice Tuesday and his status is unknown.
