Secondary support at the Igloo

 Pens

 

Ten games into the season and the Penguins are averaging three goals per game. That’s one goal per game less than where they should be, given their talent level.

Think about it. With 10 more goals this season, there would be 25 more points - give or take - to go around. Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin would likely have a few more points each, but the main beneficiaries would be the secondary offense. The fact players such as Ryan Malone, Colby Armstrong, Jordan Staal and Erik Christensen have yet to record their fourth point of the season is the very reason Pittsburgh has 10 less goals than they should.

 Just going over the monthly player rankings (they'll be up soon) and this obviously take careful team-by-team analysis. Anything shocking, I'll quickly throw my thoughts up here. Shock number one: suddenly, Shawn Horcoff is leading the Oil in scoring. Wha?  The cavalry is coming for the Ducks - Getzlaf, Schneider and Neidermayer (Rob) could all be [...]

 I heard from a second source that Shannon is on the shelf for a month. Also, the 'Nucks are mulling over recalling Jannick Hansen.  The Canucks have sent Mason Raymond to the Manitoba Moose. He just wasn't producing. This would be the time for them to recall Ryan Shannon... but I am hearing that Shannon hurt [...]

Coyotos future scoring savior and former 3rd overall pick, Kyle Turris, has 12 points in his first 4 collegiate games for the University of Wisconsin. Turris owners rejoice and with any luck he may be in Phoenix next fall. Devon Setoguchi scored 2 third period goals, while playing on a line with Thornton and Michalek. He played [...]

With the 2007-08 fantasy hockey season underway, I decided to focus two columns (players in the Eastern Conference and players in the Western Conference). 

As dobberhockey readers, many of you already know a great deal about point potentials of various players, but for those of you in leagues that include non-standard scoring categories, these columns are right up your alley.

In this second column, let's take a look at some of the guys in the western conference.

 'Special Agent' Peter Bondra has announced his retirement and he will manage the Slovakian National Team. I drafted Bondra in one of my keeper leagues before he entered the NHL and he was probably the player that I owned the longest - a good seven or eight years.  Carey Price will get the start tomorrow against [...]

Kovalchuk

 

Atlanta general manager Don Waddell made himself interim coach when he fired Bob Hartley after a 0-6-0 start to the season. Like all coaching changes, this one brought a whole new attitude to the roster. Lines were mixed around, players responded in different ways, and subsequently the fantasy value of some players has changed dramatically.

 Ryane Clowe has a knee injury and has been placed on injured reserve. There is no given timetable for a return. Devin Setoguchi has been recalled - and bears watching.  Steve McCarthy, Pascal Dupuis and Brett Sterling were healthy scratches for Atlanta last night. Mcarthy and Dupuis were obvious... Sterling, was a little lesson. Nothing more. [...]
