Welcome once again to “An Expert’s Audit”. This audit will also be posted here as well as on my fantasy hockey blog at www.fantasyhockey.hockeyanalysis.com . I also do weekly reviews of teams for people who email in to me for a look-see. These audits will continue to appear here monthly and if you’re interested in having your keeper team “worked over” then you can begin by emailing Dobber about it.

 

This month’s audit goes to the team of a Brit. I picked him because his team and league interested me, and I haven’t met any puckhead Brits before. I also figured I might be able to help. But do we really speak the same language?

The playoff race is heating up and the trade deadline is just two weeks away. For us fantasy freaks, it’s an exciting time where every morning is like your birthday. But for goaltenders, it’s a much more ominous feeling, as the intensity level of games starts to rise and there’s no longer any room for error. There’s no time for mental mistakes. Every play is that much more important and it’s all put on the line for a mere two points in the standings. On top of it all, many are constantly a part of trade rumors.
So which ten goalies are facing the most pressure as March approaches? Which goalies are the most important to their team’s success? You can make a case for all 30 starting goalies, as every team has a legitimate chance to make it to the playoffs.

 Milan Lucic

 

Milan Lucic, Boston’s second round draft pick from 2006, has made an impact on the NHL as big as his 6'4, 220-pound frame.  Lucic has left a handful of tough veterans battered and bruised, and a recent commitment to offense has seen his production rise as well.  
 

Less is More for Turco

Marty Turco

 

Marty Turco is a popular topic of discussion when it comes to fantasy hockey goaltending and that doesn’t seem to be changing anytime soon. There have been some beefy rumors of a trade involvingTurco and Martin St. Louis milling around lately, which has only added fuel to this fire. But despite the fact he has been one of the best regular season goalies in the league for more than five seasons, until he wins a playoff series debates will always exist regarding whether or not he’s a giant underachiever or a playoff hero ready to break out. But Turco is proving by his recent actions and play that he’s no overrated goalie and things will be much, much different this spring.
