Post Olympic Postulations (Western Conference), Part 2 of 3
Following along the same footsteps as my Eastern counterpart, here is the second part of the Western Conference postulations.
All NHL teams have between 19 and 22 games remaining in the regular season. But not all games are created equal. For the shrewd fantasy owner, there is opportunity here.
Pavol Demitra – International Man of Mystery
As the NHL season came to a temporary halt for the 2010 Olympics, Pavol Demitra was looking like another former star fading into obscurity. He missed the majority of the season while recovering from off-season shoulder surgery, taking his time to ensure he was 100 percent before returning to the Vancouver line-up. Demitra looked sluggish and physically overmatched in his 11 games after returning, scoring only once. However, as soon as he pulled over the blue, red, and white jersey of Slovakia, he played like a man possessed.

He finished the tournament with three goals and seven assists in only seven games, and was flying each and every single night at Canada Hockey Place.

Blood of Heroes
Since we’re transitioning from the Olympic aftermath to the onset of March Madness, today’s lecture will reflect on a number of goaltending dynamics that were revealed to me over the last two weeks. I think these trends will not only affect how your fantasy goalies play this week, but if the Olympics were any indication of what the NHL’s playoff push will be like, they could impact your goalie’s long-term potential as well.
