FILLED: After a random draw of 13 people who purchased the Fantasy Hockey Guide by Sept. 1, and a further random draw of seven more as a backup, I received 10 agreements, 2 "no" and 8 "no replies". I have THREE spots open but for now will fill TWO of them. The first two people [...]
Carey Price dropped 25 pounds in the offseason, according to the Gazette. While it is wonderful that he is in such good shape, it scares me that his body underwent such a change so quickly. If you are used to moving a certain weight at a certain speed, it is an adjustment to suddenly move [...]
For your listening pleasure - put it on your Ipod or just listen in on your computer. Let's talk some hockey! Hosts Justin Goldman, Evan Tramontano, and Brenden Thomas chat with The Hockey News' Ed Fraser, The Fourth Period's Dave Pagnotta, and DobberHockey's Matt Bugg about Bryan Berard, Mathieu Schneider, a whole slew [...]
That Brian McCabe thing dragged on for so long that when the trade actually became official, I missed doing a trade analysis. Florida will actually score more goals than Toronto, but with McCabe playing the same role on either team and getting most of his points on the power play, I don't see a large [...]
The Vancouver Canucks have traded Ryan Shannon to the Ottawa Senators for defenseman Lawrence Nycholat.
Ryan Shannon trade breakdown is posted. Also, I updated the preseason draft list - Selanne and Sakic added, Radulov removed, plus all the other updated players such as Meszaros, Shannon, etc. Pick it up in your Downloads section if you bought the guide. My regular Hockey News columns will resume next week - Tues/Thurs for the [...]
Quand Joe Sakic a signé avec l’Avalanche pour une autre saison, beaucoup de pièces sont tombées en place dans les pools de hockey. Quand les situations de Teemu Selanne et Mats Sundin seront réglées, vous verrez la même onde de choc.
Nikolai Kulemin and Pavel Kubina of the Leafs are both out for 7-10 days with knee injuries. Montreal CUTS: Ben Maxwell, Greg Stewart and Matt D'Agostini. Still with the team: Yannick Weber and Max Pacioretty. SPECTOR speculates about the possibility of the Hawks loaning Khabibulin to the KHL. Steve Downie strained his knee in the second [...]
Kurtis Foster is out for five-to-seven days with a lower body injury. He was playing on the first unit, so expect either Meszaros or Ranger to fill in for the time being. Brian Boucher has been activated from the IR. If you need a goalie who will put up good numbers, he makes [...]
I will be on the Bill Watters Show on AM 640 every Tuesday at 5:40 pm, beginning Sept. 9 for some fantasy hockey talk. The Columbus Dispatch is reporting that Fredrik Modin claims he is finally completely healthy. On a re-vamped Jackets team he could bounce back into the high 50s this season. Both French and English [...]
