Mike Richards will be out for the next 7-10 days with a slight shoulder separation. He has been very hot of late, so this is unfortunate. However, his stats will stay crappy for this year as a result, which makes him a cheaper pickup in the summer in both keeper leagues and one-year pools. TSN [...]
Tomas Kaberle will return on Friday. The Leafs decided to be cautious with him. Rick DiPietro practiced today, and should be tonight's starter. It will be a game time decision, but it is looking good. Fantasy Goalie Rankings have been updated. Interesting stat - Martin Brodeur and Roberto Luongo have each faced exactly 1956 shots. What are the [...]

When Edmonton Oilers general manager Kevin Lowe traded away Ryan Smyth to the New York Islanders at the February 27 trade deadline, he did more than just send the heart and soul of the team packing. I think he accidentally packed Edmonton’s goal scoring into that suitcase.
Goalie rankings have been updated... Three sets of Keeper League rules are posted. See "starting a pool" on the left menu. Tomas Kaberle is now looking like a real possibility for the Leafs in terms of playing in the game against the Devils on Tuesday. Stay tuned... Pavel Datsyuk has 66 points in his last 46 games.

Don’t blame Ryan Smyth for the fact that his new team is just 2-4-2 since he joined them. Smyth has come as advertised – and then some.
How to Start a Keeper League – Version #3 Here is a keeper league that involves a salary cap, with rotisserie-style scoring (12 points if you are first in a category, one point if you are last, in a 12-team league).

"Quarter Beats Notch"
That's how the headline should have appeared this week, as the flipping of the quarter was enough to top the mighty Notch in last Saturday's games.
In a somewhat related story, Burnsy also topped Notch for the fourth time in five weeks. In fact, if you were to discount the massive lead that Notch built up over the first two weeks (when all the readers had quickly written Burnsy off), Notch would be far behind right now. As it stands, his formerly gaping lead is now pretty slim.
Here are this week's picks for Saturday's NHL winners...
These rules are for the pool that Dobber himself runs: DOBBERCUP FEATURES SUMMARY: 1. Money league, skaters, goalie, farm 2. Regular season, playoff and rookie trophies and winnings 3. Majority vote every three years on whether or not to increase entry fee 4. $100 minimum bid to purchase new franchise with [...]
March Madness. For most (i.e. “ignorant”) Americans, March Madness is about skipping work for a couple of days each week to watch college basketball all day on T.V.
For us “more refined” Americans, March Madness consists of watching
ridiculously entertaining hockey games, preparing ourselves for the upcoming NHL playoffs and going for gold in out own fantasy hockey playoffs. Throw in some green beer and St. Patrick’s Month and you’re good to go.
