In my latest for the Canucks Army, I take a look at some top four defensemen who could become available at the trade deadline in a few months. Jeff Skinner could have had six or seven points last night. He absolutely dominated every single shift against the Edmonton defense. He finished with a [...]
The merits of PIM in fantasy hockey, Parise's struggles, Nugent-Hopkins, Gunnarsson, and more.
This is why I love hockey. David Perron's tweet: "Just got a very classy text from Joe Thornton wishing me good luck for tonight! He is a class act! Nap time and then game on!" Thanks to Tim Lucarelli for sharing his thoughts on the Flyers/Ducks game from last night: On multiple [...]
Brian Burke and Kevin Lowe were actually going to rent a barn and fight over their feud a few years ago? A great piece on Burke here. Saturday picks from Marty, as well as this week's Looking Ahead from Dave Poleck will be posted in a few hours. Allan Walsh wonders why [...]
Fantasy Impact: The Anaheim Ducks have fired Randy Carlye, and replaced him with Bruce Boudreau.
Thoughts on the Boudreau hiring coming in a few hours. Milan Hejduk had a multi-point game and is now on pace for over 25 goals and close to 60 points. He's not the same player he once was, but his production at this stage of his career is pretty impressive. The Boudreau [...]
Ryan Johansen is quietly having a really good rookie season. He had two helpers last night and is on pace for close to 50 points. He'd be getting a lot more press if he played in a bigger hockey market, of course. He got off to a bit of a slow start and he [...]
The Flames have claimed Blake Comeau off of waivers. I think he's worth taking a flyer on - very streaky, fairly one-dimensional, and this team desperately needs offensive punch. Throw in the "I'm on a new team" hot factor, and this guy could and should make a bit of a splash. - Dobber [...]
Jamie Benn took over the game last night in the third period, scoring a goal and assisting on the game tying goal near the end of the game. He also had three hits and six shots on goal. Both Ekman-Larsson and Yandle had a goal and an assist each. Phoenix had a ton [...]
Third straight healthy scratch for Kyle Okposo. I wonder how many teams are trying to acquire him? Joe Colborne was called up and will play for the Leafs tonight. He's had a fantastic start to the season down on the farm. Taylor Hall is really struggling this season. I am not concerned [...]
