The over/under on Brodeur, thoughts on Huberdeau, Girgensons, Jimmy Hayes and more … *** It turns out that it was the Ducks that signed Bryzgalov. It's a tryout contract, which makes it a game-by-game thing. All he wants is a game or two - a great showing would generate interest from teams like the Oilers. [...]
My four biggest shockers this year; Stalock waiting to pounce; Players ready to decline and more … *** The biggest shockers of the year for me so far: 1. Filip Forsberg - Here is a great young prospect who I figured would be a 60-point player with 80-point upside with Washington. But then he was [...]
Lots of goalie talk and tips in today's Ramblings, plus Atkinson, Klingberg (again) and more … *** Cam Atkinson is completely snakebitten. He's getting the shots and opportunities, but he's either missing the net or it's getting stopped. But hang in there Atkinson owners, it will come. After all - the guy has 36 shots [...]

It's not often you get shocked like that when it comes to a hockey game. Jarnkrok had just scored [...]
The Scheifele injury, Kaberle's release, Grosenick's potential, Gormley's first NHL goal, why Schenn will heat up and more … *** Well that certainly makes things in San Jose interesting. Prospect Troy Grosenick, in his NHL debut, posted a 45-save shutout. He'll get another start or perhaps two, before Alex Stalock returns. And that's more than enough [...]
Dubnyk starting to get attention, why Erixon makes a great waiver-wire pickup, and more … *** We're used to seeing hot starts out of Martin Hanzal, so this year was a bit of a surprise when he had just eight points 16 games into the season. A natural hat trick last night put him back [...]
