The Penguins announced that star center Evgeni Malkin is going to miss the remainder of the 2010-11 season with a torn ACL (and a torn MCL as well) in his knee. His recovery time is anywhere from four to eight months. What does this mean? A significant injury always leads to a significant opportunity. Even if Sidney Crosby does return in the near future from his concussion, the Penguins have a tremendous hole to fill (as do many poolies who own Malkin).
Pittsburgh is hoping for a March return from Crosby. Hoping and March... I don't like the sounds of that at all. Dustin Jeffrey, come on down! Extremely timely column by duballstar014 over on the forums - Kovalev to Pittsburgh? Malkin out for the year - fantasy impact is huge. I'll have more [...]

Any baseball fans out there? Head over to DobberBaseball - Spring Training is only a few weeks away. I asked a few questions about Brett Lawrie today - answer if you want! My Kevin Poulin comment in today's column is all the more important now. Rick DiPietro is out for 4-6 weeks with [...]
Malkin is playing tomorrow for Pittsburgh, but Mark Letestu is out for at least four weeks (and up to six). Vinny Prospal is making his season debut for the Rangers tonight alongside Stepan and Gaborik on the top line. Anders Lindback is getting the start for the Preds tonight. Some very [...]
A great SI piece on Ryan Kesler. Interesting to note that his stick flex has had so much to do with his recent goal scoring streak. Dobber: My article from thn.com today. My take on The Duck, The Ranger and The Blue have been added to the Guardian Project. The Project will be [...]
Are Sheldon Souray's days as an NHL player over? He has two goals in 17 games with Hershey this season. The fact that Souray only has a year left on his deal should get him at least one more NHL deal... but where? Pierre Lebrun's midseason award picks are up over at ESPN. [...]
Alex Edler will be out indefinitely after undergoing back surgery today. No word on his timetable for a return yet (sounds like it could be 6-8 weeks). Opens up more ice time for Keith Ballard. Edler out now clears the way for a Salo return. He's been practicing with the team for about [...]
Now the word from Bob McKenzie is that Nabby will NOT report to Long Island. Whatever. This won't be resolved any time soon. Hang onto all your goalies and make no decisions until you see this is 100 percent finalized. Nabokov has been claimed by the Islanders and word is that he'll report. [...]
Peter Forsberg has started practicing with the Avalanche. More info here. Interesting news to say the least - he makes Brett Favre look like a straight shooter with his decisions. As a hockey fan I'm very excited as Forsberg was my favorite player growing up. Not sure he has anything left in those [...]
