Mike Ribeiro often finds himself at the top of many “most hated” lists. His antics in the past – mostly when he was a member of the Canadiens – have not endeared himself to many fans around the league, but you should not let your personal bias of him affect his fantasy value. Since coming to Dallas, Ribeiro has been extremely consistent and productive.

All of the greats have always possessed that ability to think the game faster than their competition. From Rocket Richard to Wayne Gretzky to Sidney Crosby, they have all had this high level of “hockey IQ.” It is a trait that is easy to recognize in the elite, generational talent, but other players do possess it. A certain Devil drafted in the first round of the 2003 NHL Entry Draft has it as well.

The Calgary Flames are struggling right now, as you may or may not know. If you are a Miikka Kiprusoff fantasy owner, chances are you are well aware of their inconsistent play. Kiprusoff, fresh off signing a huge, long-term deal, has looked very, very average this season. He is getting a lot of minutes, which may be one reason for his poor start. The Flames never really addressed their back-up position this off-season, and it has showed. Kiprusoff is an elite goalie and if you believe in the law of averages, will bounce back. The weak goals he has continually let in are extremely troubling, however.
There are several key veterans in the Western Conference who have been facing a lot of scrutiny for their slow, unproductive starts. Some of them are your prototypical buy-low type of player, while others should not be touched with a 10-foot pole. Read on…
If you have not already noticed, the Columbus Blue Jackets are sitting pretty at 8-3-2 in this young season. And it would have been really hard to miss the heroics of goaltender Pascal Leclaire, who has already posted five shutouts. But the play of a particular whipping boy may have slipped by even the keenest observer.
Some random thoughts from the first few weeks of the season...also, the Angus Prime Cut for the past two weeks, something you definitely don't want to miss!
