The Rangers have recalled Nigel Dawes, which indicates that Marcel Hossa will be unable to go tomorrow night. Sheldon Souray has a separated shoulder and will be out of the lineup indefinitely. This will give Gilbert and Grebishkov more time on the power play... they may be worth plucking off the waiver wire. Chicago has announced that [...]
Reports out of Los Angeles indicate that Ladislav Nagy will be a healthy scratch tonight. Jaroslav Spacek left the game late in the third last night with a shoulder injury. No information is out on how serious, but the team hopes he will play on Thursday. Thanks to everyone who sent me the link. Thanks to Pete [...]
With the 2007-08 fantasy hockey season getting underway, I decided to focus two columns specifically on players in the Eastern Conference and players in the Western Conference. Furthermore, I’ll be focusing specifically on players that do more than just get points.
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, pay attention. These two columns are for you.
Jonathan Bernier has been sent to Lewiston of the QMJHL. J-S Aubin has been activated off the injured reserve and will get a shot at the No.1 job for the Kings. A couple of quick notes. First, it slipped past me that Marc-Andre Bergeron was a healthy scratch on Saturday. Nolan still loves him, it was [...]
Just two weeks into the NHL season and there are more than a few surprise producers around the league. Here is what you can expect from two of them, in both the long and the short term.
Brian Campbell has an amazing nine points in four games so far this season. Dallas netminder Tobias Stephan had his first NHL start yesterday. He was two seconds away from a shutout, but ended up taking the OTL. He made 38 saves. Jordan Leopold missed his second game with a hip injury, but will likely not miss [...]
Trevor Linden and Mason Raymond were healthy scratches in favor of Byron Ritchie and Brad Isbister last night. It looks as if the four of them will all take turns this season. Brandon Bochenski was a healthy scratch last night. The B's wanted offense, and got it in a big way against the Kings in [...]
It’s only been a week and I sense that some fantasy owners are starting to get antsy over the slow starts by some established players. Ok, so Sidney Crosby has started slowly, why even Marek Malik has more points than the former Art Ross and Hart trophy winner does at the moment. It is definitely time to panic; I think we’re seeing the real Crosby here. Now that he’s signed his fat long term contract, he’s turned into Sendme Cashby.
For the Crosby owners in my fantasy leagues, I’d gladly take him off your hands at a fair price.
Last night I watched the PHO-NSH game and Radulov had two points, including the final NSH goal. However, this morning I see that they gave his goal to Fiddler, so he had a one-point night, not two as I stated below. Bryan Berard was a minus-3 last night. That won't impress Nolan...but he still was out [...]
Eric, Jordan and Marc Staal will all be in the NHL this season. Can the three of them combine for 200 points? I think it’s possible.
