Jaroslav Modry did in fact miss the last 2 games of the Flyers/Wash. series to attend his fathers funeral. This was a very classy move by the Flyers organization and they still won the series so Modry will be very happy he returned home to pay respects to his Father.  Riley Cote was out of the lineup and Steve [...]

 Angus here... Mike Gillis has been confirmed as the new Canucks GM and will be introduced to the media in a press conference on Wednesday. He is a former agent to the likes of Pavel Bure and Markus Naslund (interesting side story with Naslund as a UFA). Joffrey Lupul scored his first goal of the playoffs [...]

Jason Arnott missed last nights' series ending 3-0 loss to Detroit and we are now told he has a concussion. This is after Barry Trotz told the media he had the flu or food poisoning.  David Legwand returned and played nearly 20 mins. but obviously it was to little and too late for the Preds. [...]

Saku Koivu did infact play last night and had 2 assists in over 15 mins. of ice-time. However Montreal lost anyways as Boston forced game 7.  Mike Knuble left yesterdays game with a hamstring injury and is apparently done for the series.  Nick Schultz returned to the Minnesota lineup last night only 2 weeks after [...]

Hallsey back for a week of rambling while Dobber gets drunk and smokes Cuban cigars.   The "mule" Johan Franzen scored another game winner last night. An overtime goal to send the Wings ahead in the series 3-2 now heading back to Nashville. If your pool or league happens to count GWG as a high priority [...]

It may not surprise you to know I am participating in several playoff hockey pools this year.

Playoff pools are completely different from the usual fantasy leagues. For the most part, they are less complicated. Generally, you aren’t making any roster moves after the post-season begins and you would be hard-pressed to find a playoff pool that tracks stats any more complicated than goals and assists.

 Another Dobber Rant - find it here .  Philippe Boucher did not play last night as he was out with a lower body injury. Mark Fistric took his spot. Consider Boucher day-to-day. Phil Kessel got back into the Boston lineup and proceeded to score the opening goal. David Krejci led all Boston forwards in ice time with 20:33. [...]

 According to Jim Gintonio's Blog , Daniel Carcillo is shooting for 40 points and half the penalty minutes next season (the low 200s if he plays the full season). Gintonio is also reporting that Radim Vrbata's agent is having contract talks with Phoenix. If he signs anywhere else, all bets are off. His value is in [...]

 The Carolina Hurricanes have agreed to terms with right wing Sergei Samsonov on a three-year, $7.6 million contract. This is the best-case scenario for Samsonov owners and he is probably good for 65 points next season, +/- five points.  Patrice Bergeron was not cleared to play Sunday and the doctors will not reconsider the decision [...]

As I sit in front of the computer sipping a celebratory beer typing this review, I find myself reminiscing about how I ended up here. Of course I had a good draft and a little luck along the way. A lack of serious injuries and the early pick ups of free agents Pascal Leclaire, Chris Osgood and Mike Green were instrumental in my success.
