A Former Heavyweight, a Dark Horse and a Happy Goalie

While Detroit was consistently winning, they were paying the physical price for it. Many of their top players have taken a beating throughout the season. The repeated hits have taken its toll on the team. The latest injury was to Tomas Holmstrom, who is reported to be out indefinitely. At the trade deadline, the Red Wings added the infamous power forward Todd Bertuzzi in the hopes that he adds the much needed muscle to fight back.

Rebuilding Time?

Ah, being to resigned to failure. While many of your fellow poolies will be gearing up for a league title, you, my failing friend, are at or very near to the bottom. Several individuals in the same boat have put out their plea for more information on some sneaky steals they can partake in at the draft table. I'm more than happy to oblige. Just suck less next year, will you?

Sticks & Stones: Post Trade Deadline Part I

Peter Forsberg is a great player who has often been injured. The Nashville Predators picked him up thinking he would put them “over the top” to win the Stanley Cup. For Nashville, it was a gamble that they thought was worth it. The addition of Forsberg made many fantasy owners scramble for his new teammates such as Alexander Radulov.

Bugg Bytes – Trade Deadline Bonus Article

The 2007 trade deadline was the kind of day we expected to see. Big names moved to big markets. Small names moved to small markets. And the ribs of Oilernation were once again cracked and the heart of the team torn out, still beating... so to speak. But wallowing in depression after losing Captain Canada hasn't stopped me from letting you know all about the young guns moved February 27th.

Wheeling and Dealing in the West

By Jeff Angus|2015-07-24T11:29:33-04:00February 26th, 2007|z-Archives (other articles)|

The trade deadline is upon us, and I expect a flurry of activity Tuesday morning. While the prices so far have been extremely high, most of the eight playoff teams in the West still need to do some tinkering and upgrading before having a playoff line-up ready. There still remain a few big names out there (Smyth, Souray, Guerin, Bertuzzi) that may be moved by Tuesday’s deadline. I also have a gut feeling we are going to see a blockbuster deal involving non-UFA assets (some names like Zherdev, Horton, that kind of player). Here is a breakdown for the current needs for the eight playoff teams in the Western Conference:

Barch Has Bite

By Matt Bugg|2015-07-24T11:29:36-04:00February 25th, 2007|z-Archives (other articles)|

26 year-old Krys Barch has spent more time in the ECHL the last three seasons than he has in the American League; so what was he doing on the ice during last night's rousing 4-1 win by the Dallas Stars over the Anaheim Ducks? Simply put, his job.

The Count from Sesame Street was onto something its all about the numbers

By Chris Burns|2015-07-24T11:29:39-04:00February 24th, 2007|z-Archives (other articles)|

1,000,000 – The number of page hits Dobber’s site passed on Wednesday. Pretty damn impressive for a slack-jawed yokel from the suburbs of Toronto. I’m sure I speak for all of us in congratulating Dobbs on this milestone, and in thanking him for having no life so that we may finish in the upper half of our pools. Congrats buddy.

In order to stay ahead of the curve you have to take some risks. While the risks do not always payoff, failure is not necessarily a negative.

Ryan Smyth To Be Traded?

By Jeff Angus|2015-07-24T11:29:43-04:00February 21st, 2007|z-Archives (other articles)|

The Sharks have been struggling badly the past 10 games and might be forced to make a move if nothing changes. They are losing ground to the Ducks as well as numerous other teams in the West. Rumour has it that they are looking at acquiring some veteran help, as they might worry about entering the postseason one of the youngest teams in the NHL.
