350 minutes after announcing the pool, 200 people have entered. Sidney Crosby expects to return to the lineup tomorrow when the play the Isles. Marc Savard has a broken bone in his back, sustained when Steve Begin crosschecked him.The injury is apparently the least serious bone to break... and the team is still saying that he is [...]
Mike Smith - injured, did not dress. More in tomorrow's ramblings (will try and put some up tonight) Still waiting on final confirmation from the sponsors for the Playoff Pool. I will confirm details up on this Ultimate Pool very soon. Pat Quinn will coach Team Canada at the next under-18s According to the Bruins Blog , Marc [...]
By this point in the campaign, you have a clear picture of all the players who were complete and utter busts. Some will bounce back next year; some you can just write off for good.
Drop the following players in your keeper league in the off-season or trade them to someone who still has faith:

Sidney Crosby has ruled himself out of tonight's game against the Isles. I think that it's safe to say that he won't play tomorrow night either. Chris Kelly has a hairline fracture in his leg. Best-case scenario would have miss just three games of the postseason, but missing the entire first round is more likely. "School of [...]
Le deuxième étage des Islanders de New York a fait taire rapidement tous ceux qui voulaient comparer l’espoir Kyle Okposo à Jarome Iginla. « Il est beaucoup trop tôt », disent-ils.

Happy Easter! Abbreviated Ramblings today. As a Kristian Huselius owner, I can't wait until he gets out of Calgary. He played 6:03 on Thursday and just 6:32 last night. He is useless with Keenan coaching him - do NOT pick him in your playoff pool. Sidney Crosby is thinking that a return on Monday is quite possible. [...]
The Mock Madness continues here at DobberHockey. Part II finishes up the top 30, introducing a whole bunch of new names you'll want to keep an eye on.
Both Ed Jovanovski and Martin Hanzal will be back in the lineup tonight. Tim Connolly will undergo hip surgery to remove bone spurs. He is done for the season. Barry Trotz has had about enough of Mason and Ellis and so the team recalled Pekka Rinne. Rinne leads the AHL in wins this season and has [...]
Widely known as the worst division in the NHL, it’s sometimes jokingly called the South Least Division. Well don’t look now, but the top three teams in the South East Division may have the last laugh. All three are among the hottest teams in the Eastern Conference right now. No respect I tell ya.
