Don’t Let A Gretzky Ruin Your Team
Hello again everyone. It's been a while. With the playoffs going on, and the Evil Empire... I mean Detroit Red Wings doing so well, I've been reminiscing about the old days.
Western Conference Playoff Primer
Congratulations to all of you who won your leagues this season. I knew you would. How, you say? Well, everyone knows J Status is a psychic of the highest level when it comes to these things. No need to hide it any longer. Here are the highlights on just how the Western Conference will be won this season.
The Showdown
Well this is it. For many leagues, the beginning of the NHL playoffs means the end of the fantasy playoffs and season. Congratulations to those who’ve made it this far.
My Friend’s Long Lost Cousin Is On Fire
Talk about a weird title. Talk about a weird player to get featured. Surprise! Regardless of if he is truly my bro Goran’s distant relative, he is indeed unstoppable these days. Who would have guessed? He was a sleeper I’ve mentioned before, but this is ridiculous. In the past month, he has ranked among the elite of the professional biscuit depositors.

One Stat Wonders
With most leagues either entering the playoffs or racing to the regular season finish, I thought it might be a good idea to take a look at some of the Western Conference sleepers that can help you in the one category you need most. In crunch time, what waiver-wire players can you turn to in order to get that one stat you need to put you over the top?
Acquire. Gagner. Win.
All three words can carry the same meaning, yet when put together, they do a good job of describing what Sam Gagner has done for those teams that snagged him. For many recently associated with this youngster, including the Oil, this just translates to… Win. Win. Win.
Take THAT Mr. Doomsday
The Anaheim Ducks just gave Status a report of their own. Having read last week’s column, they “quacked” up the intensity with a four game winning streak.
Mueller Time
The Superbowl isn’t the only exciting thing that’s going on in Phoenix these days. Does the January Rookie of the Month deserve even more attention? Abso-freaking-lutely.
Teemu Selanne Returns
Guess who's back? We'll talk some Selanne, and what to do with him in your fantasy league. But first I have to get something off my chest:
The All-Star Shame, er...Game.
