NHL Picks (Pro-line) for November 08, 2008
This week marks the debut of the "monkey". Dale McCarthy gives you his picks for Saturday's games, as well as his reasoning and info that you need to know!
A Roto-Look Ahead – Week 6
As Brodeur's injury shakes the fantasy world, it is interesting to look at the New Jersey Devils schedule for that time period. If you assume he would be back to play on March 1 the Devils will have 50 games to play without counting the games he missed up until November 7. It is an even split with 25 home games and 25 road games. During that stretch they have 11 back-to-back games.
Its Millers Time
I want to start off this week by talking about a player that I don’t think gets enough recognition in fantasy circles. Ryan Miller has seven wins in nine games, including two shutouts. His 1.62 goals-against-average leads the league and his 0.942 save percentage is second only to the never say die guy, Tim Thomas.
Is this Jovocop or Jovonot?
What is going on here Ed? You have so many more young weapons around you, and you get your first point US Election Day? The season started a month ago man. Well maybe Jovo was just waiting to show his support for Barack. Regardless of the reason, this can't last.

Wild West – Goalies
A month of the 2008-09 NHL season has come and gone and I figured I would change it up a bit in this week’s format and do a three-part series regarding fantasy hockey. We’ll start with goalies this week...
Satisfaction Not Guaranteed
There’s no denying it, the increase in scoring to start the season has numerous goalies melting under the glow of the red light. Even when they put together a tremendous game, they are still allowing close to an average of three goals, sometimes four or five. But despite this period of inflation for save percentages and goals against averages, there are still plenty of admirable performances and performers to be found. But now they’re just more spread out and somewhat elusive.
LImpact dun Retour
Étiez-vous à l’aise en repêchant Alexander Semin en Septembre? Pas assez confortable pour le repêcher lorsque vous auriez dû le faire? A-t-il été sélectionné par quelqu’un d’autre en neuvième ronde lorsque vous l’avez outrepassé en huitième ronde?
Comment vous sentez-vous maintenant à son égard?
The Impact of a Comeback
( cliquez ici pour la version française )
How comfortable did you feel drafting Alexander Semin in September? Not comfortable enough to draft him when you should have? Was he taken by somebody else in the ninth round when you were considering him in the eighth?
How do you feel about that now?
