Oldie Goldie says: Here's my scouting report on Ray Emery's win last night. Hope you all heeded my advice from Monday's School of Block. A bit risky, but he makes a great buy-low, sell-high option. Jacob Markstrom is out for the season after undergoing knee surgery. He will be healthy well before training camp in [...]

Do you like free money? Do you think you can beat Dobber? Check out this contest we have put together with the fine folks over at Fan Duel.
Braden Holtby has allowed four goals on the last 178 shots he has faced. Washington is going to have one of those "good" problems this summer with three fantastic young goalies. Toronto prospect Matt Frattin (Univeristy of North Dakota) was recently named WCHA Player of the Year. He had three goals and an [...]

Ryan Kesler's offensive slowdown is due to teams figuring out how to defend against him. Much like Canada did against Ovechkin during the Olympics, teams learned that Kesler likes to cut into the zone to the right and shoot against the grain. They are simply applying back pressure with a forward on that side [...]
Lubomir Visnvosky exploded offensively last night with three goals and an assist against Dallas. He had been slumping for the past 10-15 games. Jakub Voracek had two assists and four shots on goal in only 12 minutes of ice time. Curtis Glencross continued his hot streak with a three point game. He [...]
The first edition of this list was put together last August, and it is something I am going to update at least once each season. I have a few general rules when it comes to building a team in a fantasy hockey keeper league. One of the more important ones is to not plan beyond a two or three year window. You are not building a real NHL club, and too often I see poolies place too much of an emphasis on youth and prospects instead of trying to add players who could help them win now. Using this rule, take a look at your team(s). Can you realistically say you will have a shot at winning the league at some point within the next two or three seasons? If not, time to scrap the rebuild and start adding proven NHL talent.
I am busy working on the 2010-11 edition of the Prime Cuts. Check out the past three years here: 2007-08, 2008-09, and 2009-10. I love writing this series and I hope you have enjoyed reading it! Check out my piece on Puck Daddy from yesterday – those who purchased the 2010-11 Fantasy Guide [...]
Coincidence - Mason Raymond's best game of the past few months comes right after the Canucks acquire Chris Higgins? Kevin Bieksa skated on his own again today and should play at some point during the five game road trip that starts on Saturday. Marian Gaborik is starting to feel better and could [...]
