The AHL – An Early Season Update

By |2015-07-24T10:50:41-04:00October 21st, 2009|z-Archives (other articles)|

Kyle Turris

Although the AHL season is not even 10 games deep yet, it is never too early to take a look at some of the scoring leaders down on the farm. You made the right move by coming to this site to get a leg up on your pool competition – but the work never stops! Want to find out about the next Rich Peverley? How about an update on a blue-chip prospect? Many of the top AHL scorers are veterans and career minor leaguers (like Jason Krog), but there are also some intriguing players (like 28 year-old Alexandre Giroux, who has scored 65 goals over his past 75 regular season AHL games), as well as promising youngsters being groomed for NHL stardom (like Kyle Turris).

Angus here - last tidbit of the night: TB top line is Lecavalier centering Tanguay and St. Louis. I figured the Bolts would try this eventually - they need Vinny going more than they need Stamkos going, and Marty drives that team.   Tired of streaky players and want consistency for your fantasy squad? Be [...]

Martin Havlat is OUT tonight with a groin injury. I'll be using that one a few more times this season...   PM Bouchard officially has a concussion. I don't see him returning for a while. The Wild may be forced to make a move for a forward pretty soon (or they could put a claim [...]

High Five, Low Five

Every couple of weeks during the 2009-10 season I will roll out my High Five/Low Five. The list is open to teams, players, coaches, and fans – basically anything hockey-related qualifies. The High Five are five things that have impressed me (with an emphasis on recent games), and the Low Five are five things that have me shaking my head.

The Canucks have recalled scrappy winger Guilliame Desbiens from the Moose. He has been the best Moose forward so far this season, and the team wants to build up Shirokov's confidence before recalling him. I was at practice today - expect the Canuck lines to be: Sedin centering Burrows and Bernier, Kesler centering Raymond and [...]

The IIHF has finally cleared Kirill Kabanov to play for Moncton this season.   The Canucks are closely monitoring Daniel Sedin, who sat out practice with what the team is calling a deep bone bruise on one of his heels. There currently is too much swelling to conduct an MRI. Worst case is a break [...]

Dobber's article today on Puck Daddy   Ryan Callahan somehow snuck back in to the Rangers lineup! Just noticed him out there on the ice. I guess he didn't want to miss a game with whatever the injury was.   Anton Stralman is IN tonight against the Sharks (as is Derek Dorsett).   Tampa Bay [...]

Early Season Goaltending Controversies

It seems now more than ever there are multiple goaltending controversies around the league. With more teams carrying two capable (and often equally skilled) netminders instead of the more typical starter and backup,  unwanted frustration has been placed upon us poolies. With goalies at such a premium in basically every fantasy hockey format, it is essential to have at least two capable starters. Chances are you were rewarded if you took a late round flier on Pekka Rinne or Jonas Hiller last year. How will the goalie controversies facing several NHL clubs play out in 2009-10? Who will win out?
