The Future in Goal for the Blues

By |2013-04-13T02:30:50-04:00April 13th, 2013|The Journey|

 

Jake Allen USA TODAY

 

The Blues have a plethora of goaltending talent. Who will emerge?


The St. Louis Blues rank third in goals against in the Western Conference. Most of this success is because of the solid contributions of St. Louis’ blue liners and the defensive coaching style of Ken Hitchcock, not goaltending. The Blues are second in the league in Shots Against Per Game Average, just behind the New Jersey Devils with 24.3 SA/G. 

 

Coming off outstanding 2011-2012 campaigns, the goaltending tandem of Jaroslav Halak and Brian Ellliott have combined for a mediocre 13-11-2, 2.51 GAA this season.  However, out of the mediocrity of Halak-Elliott, a new starting goaltender has emerged. 22-year-old Jake Allen leads a crop of impressive St. Louis goaltending prospects and is immediately proving his NHL capabilities in his rookie season, leading all rookie 'tenders with nine wins in 13 games.

Editors note: Many thanks to Cyril (also known as seadawg on the forums) for updating the Windex Wonders (streaky players) and Band-Aid Boys (injury-prone players) lists. Read on for more of his thoughts on both kinds of players.

 

We often hear people complaining about streaky players (i.e., Windex Wonders) and injury-prone players (i.e., Band-Aid Boys), but this article is going to talk about the value those type of players can bring to your fantasy squad, in some situations.

  Kari Lehtonen left the game in the first period with a lower-body injury. Richard Bachman came in and was fantastic. I get the feeling that he and Nihlstorp will split duties for a couple of weeks. It's early - and no real word has come out. But Lehtonen missed five games with a groin [...]

Eastern Conference Playoff Race Part 2

By |2013-04-09T15:01:37-04:00April 9th, 2013|Eastern Edge|

Miller finishes up his look at the East playoff race, with Isles, Sabres, Flyers and Jets 

 

With the regular season rapidly winding down, only three Eastern Conference teams can say with much certainty that they will make the playoffs - Pittsburgh, Montreal and Boston.  Conversely, only three teams have all but mathematically eliminated themselves from playoff contention - Carolina, Tampa Bay and Florida.

This week (in two parts - you can take a look at the first part here), we'll take a closer look at which of the remaining nine Eastern Conference teams have a real shot at punching one of the five available tickets to the post-season dance or are just pretenders this year. Below is a table of the Eastern Conference standings. I've added games remaining because I hate to do math - simple subtraction drives me to distraction.
