Dobber's weekly Puck Daddy article is here. The Leafs have recalled Viktor Stalberg. Since they have two lines rolling along offensively, I don't see him getting a lot of minutes. Mike Green skated in practice today. Michael Grabner is inching closer to a return - when he is healthy expect him to [...]
Canada’s final roster for the upcoming World Juniors has been released. Upon first glance, the 2010 edition of Team Canada lacks some of the firepower that has been on display in recent years. However, there still is a lot of talent and grit at all positions, and Canada has to be considered a favourite as they look to win a record-setting sixth straight gold medal. If you haven’t had a chance to check out my article on the WJHC and how you can use it to your advantage in your hockey pool, do so now.
Dobber here - With Erik Cole out 2-3 weeks and LaRose out 3-4 weeks, the 'Canes have recalled Jiri Tlusty. He'll get top six minutes to start and if he rolls with them (under old coach Maurice) he could flourish. A hot start is essential though. Angus here. Celebrating the weekend with a rambling [...]
My opinion on Eric Fehr has been shared a few times here at DobberHockey. Fehr has been mentioned briefly in past articles as well as in a few of the daily ramblings. However, it is time to expand on why he is such an undervalued fantasy player, with a particular focus on his value in keeper leagues.
Dobber's Puck Daddy article is here. A must-read. Interesting story here... 51 year old Slava Fetisov is making a return to hockey! He is suiting up for CSKA Moscow. The Rangers have sent down Matt Gilroy to Hartford. Two points in his past 10 games (and decreasing ice time). Dan Cleary is [...]
Dobber is looking for a prospects columnist - details here. Matt Corrente, who I am high on as a future 20-30 point, 150+ PIM defenseman, had two fights against the Lightning last night. I'll have some updates up tomorrow morning/afternoon. Great article on David Perron and Twitter here. Bergfors had a [...]
Nashville has recalled Cal O'Reilly. Dobber's Puck Daddy article from yesterday - check it out here! Busy night tonight around the league! If I missed something, put it in the comments – I try to be as thorough and detailed as I can with these but usually an interesting stat or two slips [...]
Jiri Tlusty has been traded to the Hurricanes in exchange for 2009 1st round draft pick, Philippe Paradis.
The Swedish roster was announced on November 30th, and it features a plethora of talent at all three positions. In goal, they will be anchored by blue-chip prospect (and if you watched the tournament last winter, aspiring actor) Jacob Markstrom. The defense will feature at least two (and potentially three) recent first round draft picks, and the forward group consists of a great mix of speed, skill, and tenacity. On paper, the Swedish team looks like the one to beat heading in to the tournament.
Dobber's Puck Daddy from today - right here. I'll have analysis up on the Tlusty-Paradis trade in a bit. Paul Maurice (Carolina coach) no doubt recommended Tlusty, as he coached him a bit in Toronto. Kindl will be seeing first-unit power play time. Maybe take a short-term flier on him in addition to [...]
