The Canucks, unhappy with his minus-4 last night and minus-7 on the season, have assigned Ryan Shannon to Manitoba. He has the same points this season as Naslund, who is a minus-6...but Naslund is a proven commodity whereas Shannon is still finding his way in the NHL. Losing 8-2, someone had to take the fall, [...]
Alexei Ponikarovsky has injured his leg in the morning skate. Simon Gamache and Anton Stralman have been called up from the Marlies. Gamache will play on a line with Tucker and Stajan.

From the Dub to the O to the Q and beyond, here are the prospects enjoying a strong start to the 2007-2008 season, and what you can expect from them when the spotlight inevitably falls off.
Any FANTASY HOCKEY GUIDES that are ordered will be emailed within two hours. Bryan Berard is still practicing with the Isles and the team still wants to sign him, but are currently at the 23-man roster max. It would seem to me that GM Snow is trying to trade a rearguard to make room, so that [...]

Bruno, a reader from Switzerland, gave me this interesting tidbit: Patrick Stefan was forced to announce his retirement from professional ice hockey sport after only playing [...]
What’s in a name? Plenty I say.
There are several NHL players with two first names. Players like Duncan Keith, Chris Simon, Bill Thomas, Bryan Allen, Chris Kelly, Tom Gilbert and Ryan Craig. You would think their parents might have noticed that and given them a unique first name.
